COSMIC WATCH:

“When we keep our silence, we gather our power; when we speak, we let loose the concentration of quiet reverie.” – Bryant McGill

Communicator Mercury is conjunct focused Saturn in philosophical Sagittarius (11:57 pm). An aspect that is normally regarded as excellent for our power of concentration as well as ideal for filling in the details of any long-range planning.

Albert Einstein, a Pisces Sun, had this same aspect in his natal chart, but in pioneering Aries. In fact, it was the closest aspect, in his chart, with the conjunction occurring only one degree apart. Suggesting that this planetary pairing would perhaps have a defining impact upon his thinking and general behavior.

Mercury-Saturn is also thought to correlate with more of an aptitude for science, math, research, and critical thinking in general.

Because cautious, serious Saturn symbolically represents the principle of contraction, sometimes with this Mercury-Saturn energy we also tend to “trim the fat from our words.” Choosing to be as precise or succinct as possible in our speech or writing.

Of course, with this conjunction occurring in voluminous Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius now, we may not be as parsimonious with our words as might be expected!

At the very least, however, this may be a very good time to scale deeper with our thinking. To become keener observers of the world around us. Or to hone or develop our listening skills.

Because Saturn also symbolizes our fears, worries, or concerns, Mercury-Saturn may find us pondering worst case scenarios. Benjamin Disraeli once mused about this type of thinking: “I am prepared for the worst (Saturn) but hope for the best (Jupiter).”

Additionally, on the shadow side, Mercury-Saturn can potentially trigger more judgmental behavior, as well as an intolerance for views that are different from our own.

Enterprising Mars in balancing Libra is also sextile Saturn today. An aspect that is linked with sustained effort, industriousness, and planning for tomorrow. Sort of akin to a farmer diligently sowing seeds for future crops.

Too, with Mars in collaborative Libra, it can indicate a positive period for formulating or arranging diplomatic or cooperative strategies.

The Moon in stabilizing Taurus also potentially supplies us with extra reserves of patience and perseverance today. French playwright Moliere once noted that, “the trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.”
