Saturn's Transition into Libra: Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Wednesday was always writing day for me. I might as well get back at that now.

The Sabian Symbol for the 1st degree of Libra is 'A butterfly made perfect by a dart through it.' Think of Saturn wearing the cloak of this symbol. Saturn, the karmic authority of the cosmos, has been clothed in Virgo's tasks and lessons, while seeing through her eye of improvement for almost three years now. But as of this morning, Saturn has ventured into the sign of Venusian Harmony. The delicate balance of all things becomes the basis of our karmic lessons this time around through Libra. For the next couple of years, there is a serious focus on relationships...and not just between people, but also the balance between everything.

It was 10:10am CST when Saturn returned to Libra for another long journey. He will be there until October 5th, 2012. This transit is the time to pinpoint, articulate, and illuminate our identities as a whole and their practical application within society. The first degree of Libra is an equinox point, and a powerful force of balance and moderation. Make the metamorphosis into your own idea of beauty and love.

At the same time, Saturn's sextile with the Cancer Sun formed a Yod ('Finger of God' aspect configuration) pointing right to Neptune and Chiron in the last two degrees of Aquarius. What was being pin-pointed can be drawn from these two degrees and their symbols.

The Sabian Symbol that Neptune has been retrograding through for a while now is 'A butterfly emerging from a chrysalis'. It emanates with metamorphosis, growth and movement and particularly within the spiritual realm when Neptune, the mystic of the cosmos, embodies it. Those boundaries between other states of being dissolve here, allowing for greater personal freedom and transformation.

The Sabian Symbol that Chiron is retrograding through is 'Moonlit fields, once Babylon, are white and blooming'. Chiron is a wounded healer, the shaman of the cosmos. When he graces each degree of the zodiac, we have our key to the gift within our wounds. Even through complex transformation, these fields are eternal and on sacred ground. We should continue to cultivate the grace we see before us today.

Love and Gratitude,
