<\/a>1<\/strong>. The sense that you need to do things right, and that you’re going to focus on improving your work methods, and your image with authority. One pitfall here is letting that sense of authority dim your light, and not recognizing that the relationship is mutual. I would say don’t kiss ass; just do your job well and make sure you see both sides of the picture in any situation calling for such.<\/p>\n 2<\/strong>. The sense of an impending deadline, with a flavor of ‘do or die’. It will help to pace yourself this week, and not take on anything new — but rather to work with what you’ve got going and make sure you do it well. Saturn is giving the feeling of setting a limit. With Mercury out of retrograde and in new territory, you may want to blaze forward. This is the week to take things one step at a time, and that means making a conscious effort not to skip any steps.<\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. Working to get your life into balance. There may be ‘external’ pressures to restore balance, or internal — astrology has a curious way of working from both dimensions. But the theme is the same.

If your life has veered too far in one direction, you may find yourself guided to pull back, or emphasize another direction.<\/p>\n Part of why this aspect is so vital is because Saturn in Libra is square the lunar nodes in Cancer and Capricorn. This tells us that the relatively small things we do have larger implications — and that changes that are a long time coming can take root, with deep and positive effects. It’s as good a time to break old habits as it is to make them. It’s also a special condition that says, don’t skip steps (that’s because the planet involved — Saturn — rules one of the lunar nodes, in Capricorn).<\/p>\n Hope that helps!

Most people would not associate an aspect involving Saturn with the word ‘high’ or ‘light’ but that does happen to be the most interesting aspect next up. Technically the conjunction happens Thursday evening in the States, early Friday morning … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
