The Return of Saturn & Sundies

17


In Greek mythology Saturn embodies the "cosmic task-maker" or a kind of "Grim-reaper", and according to sun-sign astrology he presents us with endings, limitations, and father-time. Sun-sign astrologists suggest that the location of Saturn during a persons birth creates a lesson learning road map. Saturn takes approximately 29 years to orbit around the sun; the cycle of Saturn is one of growth and maturity.

Are you familiar with the myth of Saturn? He eats his children in order to keep Zeus from usurping his power.

Saturn reminds us to be humble in cases of success, and to maintain control of our lives. When Saturn completes his cycle from your birth, at approximately 29 years, he challenges that individual's existence and mortality. As we all know the mid-late twenties and early thirties are a time of: maturation, major life changes, changed perspectives, and anxiety of adulthood. Lately, I have felt like I am questioning my own state of being which is not necessarily a comfortable feeling. Last week I assured myself that things cannot get any worse, yet they did. Saturn is testing me at this time in my life; my relationship and my lifestyle.

I am afraid of getting old and being alone; society perpetuates this idea of waking up and having your shit together by the time your thirty. Honestly, I am far from where I want to be, but that is not a bad thing at all. How many people do you know that are in their mid twenties that actually have a career? A house? A spouse? Mid-late twenties/early thirties tends to be another phase of "coming to age", beyond the adolescence of teen years and young adulthood. I just have to make sure I choose the right path; currently I am at a fork in the road.

Be Here Now & all of the variations on those 3 words. Accept the present that you're in, chart a course to a point that you'd like to find yourself in, and be ready to have it all fall down. "Gang aft agley"   *Those social conventions of what one should be doing at a point in Life do nag at the back of ones mind.  So rather than force oneself into those 'measures'; are you progressing towards your goals. How well can you put your goals on hold? Don't forget that that 29 year cycle kicks in again in late 50's [ with a whole different can of worms to fiddle around with :0 ].      *Happiness is over-valued; are you Content with your current situation and will it take you to where you'd like to be. If not, what would get you there. And be ready to ride the Roller-coaster of Life to some place completely different.                                          *Oh! You mean that the grrrl wasn't the point of that dog's picture. :p Be excellent.

Many people in life do not find their true path until there late 30's and early 40's, a lot of great people we know today didn't really do much until later in life, i think that idea is an old one, a person who takes care of them self can live to be late 80's and 90's now, people will not retire at 65 anymore, you are on the right path, just keep going, i'm in my 30's and i'm not where i want to be, i have a house, but i'm not in a job i like, i'm not even dating anyone, I am working hard on finishing a novel, i hope to get it published soon, and start restoring old homes and sailing them soon after that.
