“The work of the world is as common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
Has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.” Marge Piercy
“There’s a thread that you follow, it goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.” William Stafford
Saturn is now in the final – 29th – degree of Pisces readying to enter the sign of Aries on Sunday May 25. It will then form a conjunction to the planet of dreams and visions, Neptune.
Saturn brings his demanding, taskmaster energy to the creative and spiritual nature of Neptune. This alignment is one of the major aspects of this year.
The Sabian symbol for the 29th degree of Pisces is, “A majestic rock formation, resembling a face is idealized by a boy who takes it as his ideal of greatness. And as he grows, he begins to look like it.” This symbol speaks of the importance of having a goal which brings purpose and inspiration to our lives that we can aspire towards.
As Saturn prepares to enter Aries it bodes well to clarify your aspirations and to set an intention to do the work that needs to be done and persevere through setbacks or obstacles.
It’s wise to raise awareness to receive any significant insights or breakthroughs which come this week under the influence of the Mercury/ Uranus conjunction. This alignment is exact of May 24 but the influence of planet of illumination and innovation often comes early. In personal charts this indicates a very bright, off -the – grid mind that can come to innovative conclusions much more quickly than others.
The Sun will enter the sign of Gemini on May 20. This ushers in a more sociable time of the year. Mercury will join this inquisitive sign on Sunday the 25. The mind quickens under this influence.
Gemini season (5/20-6/20) is a good time to be open to new ideas and to broaden thinking.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism.”
