Saturn Square Neptune (Creating Reality)

I don't know why I haven't delved into the Saturn SQUARE Neptune transit which has been in effect throughout 2019. Saturn and Neptune are the two planetary rulers of my Natal Chart. I also align with Piscean and Capricorn energies which include places, people, and non-humans.

Consider that Saturn is in its own sign Capricorn; Neptune is in its own sign Pisces. Saturn and Neptune are not compatible either because they have two opposing missions. Saturn builds or rebuilds the structure. Saturn focuses on the mundane or the everyday stuff like getting ahead with a career, putting money in the bank, and building the physical body. Pisces/Neptune is the intangible dreamer and Capricorn/Saturn is the doer. So what happens when these two planets wed in the sky?

First, let's look at the dates when Saturn and Neptune were in an exact sextile for 2019.

January 27 - 31, The sextile was at 15 degrees direct
February 1- 6 (same degree)
June 5 - 20, The sextile was at 19 degrees with Saturn RX and Neptune going RX on the 21st
November 2 - 14, The sextile is at 16 degrees with Neptune RX

When Neptune and Saturn hook up in their purest form (which is happening now), they give us the ability to manifest our dreams into tangible or concrete reality. And at the same time, we question our reality. We might slip in and out of dimensions or spend more time (which is relative) with astral travel. Saturn prevents us from losing our minds by giving us solid grounding to return to. Without that solid reality or the mundane world, we could easily slip into insanity. This is also why it is crucial to learn astral travel or shamanic journeying from a qualified teacher.

Pisces and Capricorn are feminine and compatible signs in the Zodiac Wheel. Water and Earth flow into each other. But even without tension present, this sextile can cause weather conditions such as flooding or hurricanes touching the ground. As far as economies, more Piscean and more Saturnian types dream of new workplaces where people are treated and rewarded fairly for their work. This is where socialism and capitalism co-exist. This is also a time where we do forgiveness work and practice compassion so that we balance karma because of Saturn and Capricorn rule karma.

While we think of Saturn as the social-climber, Saturn also bestows gifts on the meek and the humble. Saturn says that if we do the work, we receive rewards but only after we pass through a series of tests. Both Saturn and Neptune transits bring us wisdom through our own life experiences and not so much from the books we read or the teachers we seek out. This is when the answer already exist in our hearts and through our life experiences do we unearth those gems of wisdom or as a former friend used to say those pearls of wisdom.

The sextile between Saturn and Neptune in their respective signs also prevented us from experiencing a karmic retribution overload. We feel less vengeful when these two planets hook up in a flowing transit. We reflect on our own weaknesses and humility is the road to true redemption which we all require at this point in the evolution of humanity. Remember the saying about he who has never sinned cast the first stone (and no one did)?

On a more mundane level, humanity has cleaned the plastic out of the ocean (or began this process). Neptune rules the ocean and Saturn rules commerce and business. European countries such as France banned plastic bags, utensils, and hopefully straws. Other countries are to follow with bans on plastic bottles, bags, and other junk that ends up in the ocean. We are reaping the punishment of living destructively on the planet when we find microplastic in our sea salt and other foods we harvest from the sea. In fact, Saturn reminds us that the bubble of commerce illusion we have resided in can no longer exist without consequences.

In 2020, Saturn and Neptune will remain in orb of each other in January, the same month we experience the exact Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22 degrees Capricorn. This is powerful stuff! And while that's happening, Uranus in Taurus is in orb with Jupiter in Capricorn. We truly reap the seeds we have sown both good and to our detriment. If humanity is ripe to learn about living in harmony with Gaia, November through January (2019-20) would take us into a new age.

You don't need to believe in astrology or even follow the transits to have the planet signatures shape your life. It's just that having the tools and the knowledge prevents mental breakdown or emotional meltdowns. Neptune both destroys and creates illusions. Saturn teaches us wisdom through failures and successes, but mainly through failure. Failure is the greatest teacher of all if we have the wisdom to learn from our mistakes! Now that's Neptune and Saturn in alignment at work.

For anyone who feels that she has not gotten it right yet, don't dismay. We're all riding in the same boat with Neptune and Saturn guiding us to our authentic selves and our true paths. Ride the waves and trust that we will return to the shore.
