(Bloom County Comic) Accounting for misdeeds comes in all shapes and sizes. I accidentally stepped on my cat’s tail and have to beg for forgiveness. You say something insensitive to a friend and apologize for that misdeed. But this year we have seen the exposure of some enormous misdeeds and the need for the accounting to set the scales of justice in order.
Ever since March 2019 either Saturn or Pluto, and sometimes both planets, conjoined the South or descending lunar node. The Nodes of the Moon, as many of you know, are like directional signs pointing the way from where we’ve come (South Node) to where we are headed (North Node). There is a quality of fate with the nodes; a sense that the direction of our journey is already charted and of course this is true to some extent. We can’t change our natal chart and our basic characteristics, and that North Node is always beckoning to us as a focus of personal growth. But along the way we make choices and these choices can change the course of our lives for good or for ill.
Saturn is a personal planet and operates in the personal realm, challenging us to face our responsibilities and work diligently towards our goals and often testing us in various ways to increase our emotional and physical endurance. Pluto is a transpersonal planet; its influence can be more ruthless in its pressure to create and support personal transformation. Saturn makes things hard, Pluto can break us or make us. With both of these planets pressuring the South Node of the past, it’s no wonder that there have been personal crises and revelations of a very public nature as the Conscious Universe continues to strive for balance and make adjustments where needed.
These are some of the day of reckoning revelations that have erupted since these conjunctions began in May:
- It was announced in May that over a million species are now threatened with extinction and that the decline of the natural living world is unprecedented and caused by human activity.
- UK Prime Minister Theresa May resigned in June, and chaos ensued. More about that at some point in the future.
- July was reported to be the hottest month ever recorded.
- Protests erupted in Hong Kong in June and since then have become darker and more desperate.
- Boris Johnson.
- Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and later killed himself in prison. It could be argued that there was no day reckoning for his victims.
- In August, two mass shootings in the US killed 47 people and injured scores of others.
And now, Liberty University officials have exposed the crimes of Jerry Falwell Jr which include, among other scandals, the fact that he sent male colleagues nude photos of his wife; his using University funds for personal expenses including the construction of a private fitness facility; threats to not only University employees but also Lynchburg residents and their families including his request for an FBI investigation to rout out the traitors; that the University was paid to rig polls promoting Donald Trump.
People often ask me “when will things change?” and unfortunately astrology cannot predict this. As long as humans behave abominably, the world will not change. But we can make changes in our personal lives to bring in more light and love, and these small changes can eventually seed the world.
Thanks Lynn for todays illumination on Saturn and Pluto. Since February I’ve had a terrible year in my 5 year relationship and in July decided to end it. My heart is broken and I’m still struggling terribly and can’t really see much light at the end of the tunnel. I noticed your piece on moving through blame to liberation and the sentence “The nugget of transformation lies within every painful situation, and is a great gift” jumped out at me. Thank you for that wisdom. It’s just what I need at this time. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Rosalind, I’m so sorry to hear your heart is hurting. I’m really glad to hear that article was helpful for you. ❤️
Thanks Lynn, everyone I know and everyone I don’t !~seems to going through Hell! I believe it is the Second Coming! and that Donald Trump was chosen to Drain the Swamp. God created the World in 6 days (piece of cake) cleaning up all the mess we have made will take a bit longer!!
Good luck Rosalind. I am going through relationship strife- if ONLY people would talk about their view of it[-would make it all so much easier. I am addicted to love (moon Pisces 7th House and lots of Leo 12thHouse thru to first. Let’s say I am learning a lot lol-and crying more than I have in 40 years!
Thanks Dinah. Good to hear from you. Most of my friends are having a normally flowing time! My transit chart shows that I have Pluto squared with natal moon affecting most of next year, Chiron opposition with natal Neptune and Chiron opposition with natal Chiron which seems to be the most challenging for the next 8 months. :-( Yes, I agree with your frustration about friends not talking about their relationship strife and they don’t want to hear about mine. I don’t think I would if I were them either! It’s too dramatic. My transit chart doesn’t look as though it’s going to get any easier until 2021 and even then… Fortunately this week I found a great psychologist and I think she’s going to help me get through this almost unbearable time. I just have to remember that all is well and that I can’t see the big picture and need to trust that this is a transformative period that I’ll look back on with appreciation. Can’t do that yet though.
Rosalind, it’s important to look at the supportive transits that are going on during the stressful times. It takes a fair amount of astrological experience to be able to really translate the transits and progressions picture, and this would be a good time for you to consult with a trusted astrologer. Even professionals need advice sometimes – we don’t always have the objectivity to see the bigger picture.
Thanks Lynn. Yes, it probably would be a good time to see someone who can interpret and give me some more balanced guidance. I’m in Australia and I know of someone in another city. I appreciate your caring.
So many people know enough astrology to see what’s happening, but it takes some expertise to make sense of it. I use google for medical questions but it doesn’t replace my doctor!
I agree Dinah – it’s so helpful when people bring their own issues out into the open and we can see that we are all humans working hard to make sense of the often insensible.
I thoroughly agree Lynn. My circumstances are such that I am not able to consult a professional so I do the best I can. I love your articles and get a lot from the monthly forecasts. Thanks again.
