“The sense of balance maintains the right relationship between lightness and gravity, this is what it means to be a human being on the Earth, beneath the sky.”Robert Sardello
One of the significant transits of 2024 is the Jupiter/Saturn square and one of the important dates in that transit is this week on October 9 when Jupiter will station retrograde.
The planet Jupiter has to do with expanding our horizons – both outwardly in terms of travel and exploration and inwardly in terms of study and spiritual or religious growth.
The retrograde period will last through early February 2025.
There can be a feeling of tension or conflict when these two planets align as Jupiter governs expansion and Saturn values contraction. There can be restlessness too, and a sense of indecision.
It’s always wise to take your time when these two are together and to keep to the moderate path.
The retrograde period provides a good time to entertain broad options for the future but keep in mind the plans may change over time with the retrograde.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “Three fledglings in a nest high up in a tree.”
