Limits are not a bad thing. Along with your choices, the limits you encounter in relationship to your environment define who and what you are, shaping your identity and informing you of your purpose.<\/p>\n<p>You are here for a reason. The sooner you determine that reason, the sooner you can go about fulfilling your purpose. The sooner you can begin fulfilling your purpose the better you will feel about yourself and your place in the world. That&#8217;s what it means to work with Saturn as its expression of limits is defined by the sign it occupies. We are fortunate that recent years have found Saturn in Libra because that symbolically availed all of us equally with a fresh start at determining our purpose, all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>When the Sun enters Libra, it is a new season. That&#8217;s what defines Libra as one of the four cardinal signs. Specifically it is a new season that begins with an equinox, a period of equal day and night for every being on Earth, all at the same time. Every other object that enters and moves through Libra emulates the Sun. So it is that Saturn&#8217;s archetype of limits has been expressed through a theme that combines renewal, equality and reciprocity for most of the the last three years. If you consider what was beginning for you and your relationships around Halloween of 2009 and compare it to what you and your relationships have become, you will get an idea of how well you have worked with Saturn&#8217;s new season so far and what you need to do to fulfill your purpose. That&#8217;s the opportunity represented by the Sun&#8217;s air trine to Saturn on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Air, along with fire, earth and water, is one of the four elements of ancient natural science. Each of those four elements contributes to the identity of three out of the 12 astrological signs. Hence the geometric relationship between signs that share the same element is called a trine, derived from the word three and the shape of an equilateral triangle. Trines represent flow because energy of any kind is best transmitted through a single element. Gemini and Libra are both air signs.<\/p>\n<p>Your own tangible experience of the Sun is as the source of daylight. Daylight is best transmitted through the air. In astrology, the Sun symbolizes consciousness, revealing and illuminating that upon which it shines. It stands to reason, then, that the symbolic Sun&#8217;s light would flow very well from one air sign to another, clearly illuminating any other object to which it forms a trine aspect. An air trine of the Sun to Saturn is thus an opportunity to get a sense of how the season of limits encountered through relationships have shaped you thus far.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to get caught up in the enormity of recent and impending astrological events. Astonishing eclipses, rare transits, unlikely occultations and intimidating aspects abound. It&#8217;s also easy to feel overwhelmed by the events in the world that correspond to the intimidating aspects. Everywhere you look the world you were born into and conditioned to live in appears to be coming apart and collapsing into uncertainty. While nobody is recommending that you ignore history being made, you must first attend to your own developments if you are to avoid getting swept away and lost without a chance to find and fulfill your purpose, and make a conscious contribution to that history in the making.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the reason for you to take some time this week and get a sense of your own season, your own own development and your own identity as it is being defined so that you can make the adjustments that circumstances allow and work with your limits to participate in defining not only your place in the world but what the would can be.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service \u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
