“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” C.G. Jung
Deeper and Deeper or Dumber and Dumber?
Lorna Bevan – In Jung’s therapy of the soul, Individuation is achieved only through engaging with the challenges and hard -won experience of a meaningful life narrative. This is the very antithesis of our quick fix, instant gratification, superficial culture that doesn’t even touch the sides, let alone the soul..
Saturn as Fate Reaching into Your Life…
From May 24th, for the first time since 1996/97, Saturn- the archetype of Time and Karma, of Boundaries and Fate -crosses from the very last degree of the 12th sign Pisces on to the 0 degree of the 1st sign Aries.
In alchemical terms, between now and 2028, the fire of Saturnian Aries will blacken and reduce to ashes all the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that have been keeping you from growing and evolving- keeping you psychologically as an eternal child, like Peter Pan.
Don’t dismiss this as a metaphor or head stuff. In your physical everyday life, any untested hand- me- down beliefs, magic thinking, ideologies, resistances and neuroses will crack, as circumstances outside your control relentlessly challenge their truth and reality.
Saturn brings reality checks so that by facing them, gaining true resilience, you evolve from one life stage to the next.
Saturn as Senex is the Wise Old One whose field constellates slowness, maturity, wisdom through experience, and concrete manifestation of your true potential.
As you age, the gift of meeting Saturn’s predictable challenges at each life stage-childhood to early adulthood, midlife, third age, old age-is to increasingly become your own law, your own authority. Living as yourself means not looking outside to be rescued, following your own unique way, tracking your daimon, your duende, ignoring the sheep.
This is the opposite of vainly trying to outwit the reality of Kronos, ageing, impermanence and death via cosmetic surgery and denial- an outer manifestation of inner emptiness.
Collaborate With Reality. Don’t Fight It
Saturnian keys:
♦ stop trying to force life to fit round you
♦ do what matters, not what’s easy
♦ do the next right thing-repeat
♦ do the work and move on-don’t wait or expect for applause or approval
♦ drop anything performative or curated

Chandra Symbol Saturn ARIES 1: repairing and extending a stone wall in the spring.
“Earth existence embraced with a fury. You submerge yourself in the brute facts and the bare phenomena. You become ready and quite able to do what is asked or needed and to put nothing in the way of each next thing happening, right on schedule. It is a form of penance or probation for past excesses, now gravitating toward the straight and narrow and trying to get certain things straight for a brand-new start.
It is the initial phase, the radically new cycle taken up with a passion, with an insatiable appetite for things to do, problems to solve, worlds to streamline. Tremendous for activating will; intended for nothing else.” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
