Whereas Saturn erects borders and fences, Jupiter sees and seeks horizons. Neptune might be inclined towards transcendence, if not sheer escapism, but Jupiter seeks meaning and growth in the here and now, and beyond.
Astrology for Troubled Times #1 — Self-care and the Moon
Feeding our Moon is self-care. In this post I explore the subject of self-care from an astrological (and lunar) perspective.
![A huge part of being an artist/creatrix is giving shape to the shapeless— summoning, plucking swift feathered inklings from the aether, binding them to a world where forms, tones and hues beguile the senses.
We’re standing at the confluence of Venus and Mercury stationing in Saturn-ruled signs— Venus gearing up to resume her forward motion in Capricorn, and Mercury slowing to a crawl in Aquarius.
Whether you experience Saturn as a tenacious spaceholder / safeguarding container, or an uncongenial, insulating cell depends on a number of factors— sect being the main one. (The planet of structure, endurance and discipline tends to feel more supportive for folks with a day chart.)
And while Saturn is undoubtedly medicine for those who alchemize vision into form, the line of demarcation between medicament and poison is anything but sharp. How much discipline is too much? Rumination? Hesitation? How much of our prudent, diligent self-containment is actually self-denial?
Do you want your art to be impeccable, or do you want it to be RAW? ❤️🔥
Now’s the time to reckon with rules, boundaries, limitations, whether self-imposed or forced onto us from the outside. The gravity that holds us and carries us and holds us together vs the weight that pins us to the ground. Finding that dividing line, or drawing it ourselves.
What does balance between self-command and creative freedom look and feel like?
[Mercury stations retrograde at 10 degrees Aquarius on January 14; Venus stations direct on January 29, at 11 degrees Capricorn.]
