<\/dt>\nTrine aspects take place between objects moving through different signs that share the same element — fire, earth, air or water. Through a common element comes harmonious combination. For Saturn and Neptune to position in harmony is an event both rare and unusual.<\/p>\n
Trines between Saturn and Neptune are rare because their apparent motion is slow. Saturn changes its field of expression only after ten seasons have elapsed. Even more deliberate, Neptune tends to favor the same costume continuously for nearly a decade and a half (planets changing sign are rather like actors taking on a new wardrobe with each character: still the same at the core, but expressing different exaggerated facets of themselves). Therefore, the watery collaboration just beginning between Saturn and Neptune will probably feel unfamiliar, which may be confronting.<\/p>\n
The last time Saturn trined Neptune at all was an air trine from Saturn’s position in Gemini to Neptune’s place in Aquarius just after the Cancer Solstice of 2001. That event took place shortly before the world changed radically with the tragic events of September 11. In addition, the aspect happened but once, a brief memory obscured by its historical aftermath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last water trine between the Ringed One and Big Blue was also a one-off in January of 1907, when Saturn occupied Pisces and Neptune graced cardinal Cancer. In order to find an exact duplication of the currently applying aspect, you would have to go back to when the calendar was different from the one most of us use now. That’s a long time ago, leaving us with with little, if any, memory of how to work in harmony with a combination not clearly suited to accord in the first place. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harmony between Saturn and Neptune is unusual because they typically function to different ends. As Robert Hand puts it, “Neptune dissolves whatever Saturn builds.” Finding harmony through the element of water means going by feel, which most of us seldom do. The seldom and uncommon will thus be where you are likely to find both the challenge and imperative to create in sympathy with the Cosmos over the three seasons to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until July has passed, you will be called upon to adapt to the unfamiliar and charged with combining the incompatible. If you think about it, you are probably feeling your way through that adjustment already. If you can be patient, you will almost certainly receive more than one chance to complete what is now a nascent, and probably unconscious, composition.<\/p>\n
Mercury is in a fortunate position to help you think, and now is the time to do just that. Forging ahead of Saturn through Scorpio, the swiftest planet is encouraging you to contemplate what your feelings have\u00a0introduced to your life in recent weeks. Ask yourself if you have opened new communication with individuals or groups lately and the answer will probably be yes. Examine what activities your hands have recently taken up, and you may surprise yourself with the potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Through what you have recently created of your own volition you will consciously discover how the flow of the Saturn-Neptune trine is already operating. Once you have made that discovery, the trick will be to negotiate the flow so that it continues to a be creative. If you find yourself unprepared or unqualified to conduct such negotiations, that will actually enhance the creative part even as you are likewise confronted with the unknown and the uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
The greatest discoveries have been made by those who did not know where they were going or how to get there. Allowing yourself to be in that state is how to negotiate with Neptune. Persistence with the unfamiliar flow of exploration, is, on the other hand, how to honor Saturn’s contribution to harmony. Persevering with feeling only, and a willingness to repeat your efforts until they feel right, will blend and balance the imperatives of Saturn and Neptune. The practice will also set you apart, and that may not be comfortable.<\/p>\n
Defining yourself by what you are creating, rather than what you have achieved, is unusual. It will set you apart. By being apart, you will be able to see possibilities, and be inspired to manifest them, but at the price of arousing suspicion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are all superbly conditioned to conform. Those who do not conform, we are conditioned to make uncomfortable. Releasing attachment to that conditioning is to be confronted by creativity. With a nearly unprecedented and prolonged water trine from Saturn to Neptune, each of us will have repeated and persistent opportunity to turn the tables on confrontation together. By being and doing the confronting all together at once, we can create a new conformity, to a pattern never before seen, with a harmony never before heard, on a level never before felt. If that sounds revolutionary, it is. The alternative, however, is to spend the rest of your life with only the past as a source of comfort.<\/p>\n
