COSMIC WATCH:

The “illuminating” Sun opposes “taskmaster” Saturn. Normally with this influence we tend to adopt more of a serious mindset and focus on our perceived duties and responsibilities (or whatever our “socialized self” thinks it should be doing), which Saturn represents. If we do opt to go this route, and focus on what we view to be our obligations (or karma), instead of maybe indulging in more pleasurable pursuits, we may end up being quite productive and successful today, as Sun-Saturn can inspire us to be more disciplined and steadfast to see things through to the end.

This may also be a very good day to simply reflect upon the structures (relationships, daily practices, activities) that we have built up in our world and determine how they are either supporting or hindering us. If they do seem to be thwarting our progress now, or interfering perhaps with our desired vision of work/life balance for our lives, we may want to consider what steps we could take now to make our lives better and more fulfilling in the future.

Interestingly, last year when we had this same Sun-Saturn influence, President Obama’s presidential campaign announced that day that he was going to run for a second term in office. Too, Sun-Saturn often correlates with events, developments or perspectives that seem to be more “karmic” nature, or that seem to really resonate with our life purpose in some way.

On another level, sometimes with Sun-Saturn we may feel “cut off from others,” or simply wish to be left alone, as Saturn governs boundaries and our sense of separateness. Too, either scenario does not necessarily mean that we cannot have warm, intimate encounters now, if we so choose to do so, and are also willing to put ourselves out there on the line to make this possible. Too, it may even mean with Sun-Saturn that we come to a deeper understanding today of how valuable it can be for us to have set boundaries in our relationships as an extension of self-care.

Also, often with Sun-Saturn we are simply too critical of ourselves, too tuned into our perceived warts or blemishes and blind to our special strengths or assets. Additionally with Sun-Saturn we sometimes seek out older or more mature types to be around, with Saturn ruling father figures.  “I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” Henry David Thoreau.

“Whatever we do lays a seed in our deepest consciousness, and one day that seed will grow.” Sakyong Mipham

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Hot Volcanic Sun conjuncts Stone Cold Saturn, Lord of Karma, in Partnership Libra. Since Saturn is exalted in Libra, he theoretically has “the upper hand” here, over the Sun. What this may mean is we could be feeling “a chill” descending upon our relationships today. With Sun-Saturn, it’s easier to feel “cut-off” and “alienated,” as the basic nature of Saturn is more fearful and restrictive.

Perhaps also due to more fear-based feelings, security issues may loom larger now within relationships. We may suddenly be more concerned with matters of commitment and or more preoccupied with our contractual obligations.  We may also want to enter into contracts or agreements now as a way of making ourselves feel more secure and our positions solidified. In general, Saturn is associated with duties, responsibilities, limitations, and old-fashioned hard work. On Sun-Saturn days, there is usually very little for us in the way of “play” going on.

Sun conjunct Saturn is an excellent time for taking a “broad overview” of our life situation, as Saturn’s ray is very purposeful, utilitarian, and reflective. But, we do need to keep in mind here that we are viewing things from a much more serious perspective now, and our viewpoint may be “much lighter” in a few days.

On Sun-Saturn days, we are also often forced to deal with issues from our past (past karma). Often we give them closure at this time. In other cases, we may go back to doing things that we use to do, in the past, employing old strategies.  Too, we may want keep a close eye on events impacting the collective now, particularly events involving shifts in power or pivotal, weightier matters from the past that resurface again and need to be resolved or immediately attended to.

The Moon’s entrance into Sensitive Cancer (9:47 am EDT) and its opposition to Defensive Pluto (2:56 pm EDT) is a time when we are potentially more vulnerable emotionally, so we need to be aware of this and try not to overreact. We  do need to steer clear of power struggles with this more volatile Plutonian energy, especially alongside the Sun-Saturn.

On the plus side, Pluto can produce penetrating insights and make us privy to “top-secret” information. A corollary to this: We shouldn’t be too surprised if we hear about, or see, “double agents” roaming around in trench coats, wearing dark sunglasses.
