<\/dt>\nPrevailing interpretations of Saturn are also up for scrutiny. Finally, context will serve to distinguish this particular solar opposition to the ringed one from all others.<\/p>\n
In your everyday, the Sun illuminates the world. The most straightforward interpretation of the Sun in astrology follows suit with your everyday experience.<\/p>\n
Wherever the Sun moves on the zodiac, illumination follows. Objects in the sign opposing the Sun are considered especially subject to a more lucid interpretation, a perception that also parallels palpable reality.<\/p>\n
The prototypical opposition, which serves as the template through which all other oppositions are interpreted, is the Full Moon. During a Full Moon, the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon. As benefit of being betwixt the luminaries, the Moon’s earthward side is fully lit and visible all night (weather permitting), allowing for the long and thorough contemplation for which Full Moons are famous.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is true for an opposition of the Sun and Moon also applies to any other object in opposition to the Sun. Therefore, Saturn will rise in the East at sunset Saturday, appearing to move across the entire sky during the course of the night to set in the West at dawn. Just as with the Sun’s reality translating at full value to astrology’s symbolism, so it will be with Saturn’s emulation of a Full Moon.<\/p>\n
As the Earth moves directly between the Sun and Saturn on Saturday (literally “Saturn’s day”) the ringed one will be\u00a0about as bright\u00a0as it ever gets<\/a>, providing an optimum opportunity for actual and emblematic contemplation.<\/p>\n Since Saturn’s apparent motion is slow, and because the Sun is only a few days away from opposing it, you could begin your meditations now. You might begin with Saturn’s undeserved reputation.<\/p>\n Saturn’s reputation is not good in the world of cookbook astrology. It’s all too often associated with things that bring you down, such as limits, constraints, dampening, governance and being sternly put in your place.<\/p>\n It is with the experience of those very Saturnian qualities, however, that you find out who and what you are as distinguished from everybody and everything else. If you look at Saturn that way, it’s the spice merchant of life. When you consider the alternative of being undefined and without a discreet identity in the world, Saturn really does have an upside that makes life worth living, especially now.<\/p>\n For now you are living through astrology that defies any previous definitions. You have scarcely emerged from a transcendent eclipse cycle embedded with some of the most powerful planetary configurations so far in this century. If you think you have been unchanged by the past several weeks, you probably have another think coming.<\/p>\n So use the Sun’s opposition to Saturn, functional now and for the next handful of days, to do the thinking appropriate for this time. If you do so, you could do a lot worse than to reexamine what brings you down as your first priority.<\/p>\n For in such an examination you may very well find yourself redefined. Indeed, you may find yourself no longer brought down at all, instead more full and enlightened than you have ever been.
