In Astrology, Saturn represents limits, restrictions, structure and discipline. The sign of Pisces represents our relationship with what lies beyond the visible, the transcendent, and how we commune with it in order to redeem our experience here on earth. When Saturn bares its weight down on the topics of Pisces, as it will for the next 2 and a half years and continue to in the lives of those born to it, we come to know what it means to look "through a glass, darkly," to peer into the void in search of the ineffable, only to find ourselves staring back. This connection all human beings naturally seek with what lies beyond, some call God, or Spirit or Divinity. Whatever you choose to call it, the gulf which spans between us and it can seem insurmountable for some, for others the fleeting and tenuous contacts made with it can not be easily discerned from the musings of our own imaginations. Saturn in Pisces represents a confrontation with the walls which separate us from both the divine as well as our fellow corporeal travelers. The wall is in fact a necessary structure built to contain individual consciousness, but any structure can become a prison when you can not find its doors. Saturn insists that we come to know and respect these walls, so that we may in time become responsible gatekeepers as well as caretakers for what dwells with in them.

The Sun conjoins Saturn in the sign of Aquarius, marking both the end of one chapter in or Saturnine sagas and the beginning of a new one. Also know as a Cazimi, this moment of perfect union provokes a humbling confrontation with what is in whichever part of your life it touches, searing into the conscious mind those truths which can not be unseen. While some may have to grieve those possibilities which can no longer survive in the cold light of day, the clarity which is offered forms the basis for sound judgment and solid foundations upon which to move forward.
