The August 1st Saturn Return By Peter Phalam

The August 1st Saturn Return By Peter Phalam

The August 1st Saturn Return offers many challenges, but if one is
accomplished in awareness, it offers many benefits in terms of
conscious advancement. Chiron is the main character during this
eclipse and offers bridges into higher awareness. Chiron is conjunct
Neptune at this time so the main emphasis of bridge work is through
spiritual evolution. The polarity of Chiron and Neptune at the
eclipse point is Venus and Moon both depicted in Leo. Leo is ideal
for this example as it is the collective consciousness that needs to
move emotionally ahead. So many are trapped within the illusion of
debt and scarcity. Emotions are locked up in material cages and very
few are feeling what feeling is meant to be. Venus assists this
polarity as the emotions we least understand are those of the feminine
instinct on this planet. Most women have had to adapt a masculine
emotional base in order to survive. Most men have stayed steadfast in
their skeptical masculine ethic. So this eclipse is intended to bust
loose many things trapped in emotions.

What also exists in polarity are Mars and Uranus. When these two are
in compatible relationship either conjunct, trines or sextiles they
advocate a psychic nature. However, when they are in polarity they
tend to foster the denial of the ability. For those absent of a
reasonable intuition or clairvoyant ability this eclipse open channels
and tests fear levels. This is also an opportunity to get off the
karmic wheel. Saturn is in a position to hand out "get out of jail
free" cards and if you are willing to believe nothing can happen to
you, nothing will. Positive aspects should be taken advantage of with
Jupiter in trine with Saturn. This signifies the abundance of
awareness as Saturn travels through the benign sign of Virgo. Mars
Trines Jupiter as well - a good time to be aggressive in terms of
decisions in career moves, investments and purchases. It is more
important now with the economy in decline to test the "Law of
Attraction" in your life. Venus is in a combined trine with Saturn
and Pluto so if you use your feminine energy of passive meditative,
you will connect easily to your guides and understand path
corrections. Namaste Peter
