Are you feeling at all like you’re pushing at the walls of something around you — whether in a sexual relationship (most likely), or philosophically, or physically? Is your own self-concept suddenly feeling like a town that isn’t big enough for both the white-hat you and the black-hat you? The Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio is exact today just after 4:30 am, and its energy is being echoed and amplified by a Mars-Jupiter opposition that’s building through the weekend.
The overall sensation may be subtler for you (if you’re feeling it): more like you need to stick your head out the window of the emotional box of a relationship, rather than knock down walls or run out the door.
There are many ways to work with commitment that do not equal containment. But it helps to sort out the differences between desire and jealousy, devotion and possessiveness, or a shared creative purpose versus a control drama. They often get confused.
As the Sun and Saturn (especially Saturn) make their respective ways through Scorpio, these themes develop into a journey of emotional maturity.
If you’re feeling something akin to a maturity crisis right now, consider it to be the send-off ‘party’, with growth in store around the bend. This leg of the trip will last a good couple of years as Saturn treks through Scorpio’s deep waters, aided by its (and the Sun’s) recent trines to Neptune in Pisces. That aspect likely softened or opened the sense of inner boundaries for you — rather like opening up the gates of a dam just a little, or better yet, dissolving the membrane between your regular consciousness and a more imaginative or dreamtime you.
The Scorpio Sun’s upcoming trine to Chiron in Pisces further opens up the conversation between that imaginative, creative space into the option to use it for healing. Anything you can heal and release now is going to make room for that Saturn-fueled growth over the next two years.
