“Authority contains the word author. To accept the responsibility of being the author of our own lives, we must reclaim our authority. Saturn often gets a bad rap from people who associate this god with hardship, fear and loneliness. But these negative associations are symptoms of fending off rather than embracing the Saturn parts of ourselves.”
The week started off with Saturn squaring the Sun and the last quarter Moon on Tuesday was conjunct Saturn in Aries. These alignments can slow things down and create a certain kind of tension, heaviness or frustration. Saturn rules the authority in our lives and where it comes from. Where you give your power away may be more visible now. It’s a good time- if need be- to reclaim your personal authority.
