In last weeks blog “Embracing Your Saturn’ Return”, we discussed that if we learn to embrace and work with Saturn, it can become one of our most loyal and reliable friends.
This week, we will be discussing how we can make that happen and we start with the seven-year minor Saturn Returns, which lead us into the twenty-eight year major ones.
Practically speaking, friendship is a two way street, and unless we know how to find the common ground that lies between Saturn and ourselves, friendship cannot blossom and bloom.
As usual, the common ground lies in the hands of those spiritual beings who are associated with Saturn and its cycles, they are:
• The arch angel Cassiel, and
• The ascended master Hilarion.
Saturn’s influence on hearth is held by a trilogy of spiritual beings, which is made up of:
• Serena, who is the reach of Saturn’s Universal School of Wisdom.
• Zoroaster, who is a planetary council member from Saturn, and
• Serilius, who is associated with Pythagoras.
Then there is our dedicated entourage of spiritual guides, angels and loved-ones who are there to help us whilst we negotiate our way through what can be the harrowing consequences of us not working with our Saturn Returns.
Saturn can empower as well as destroy, and the minor returns are taps on the shoulder that remind us to stop, reassess and review how and why we are living our lives.
They raise issues for us to deal with and by doing so save us from destroying ourselves and thus enabling us to self-empower.
Our initial and natural response to facing problems is either bury our heads in the sand, delude ourselves into thinking everything is hunky dory when it is clearly not or we try and run from ourselves, a pointless exercise but nevertheless, run we do. However, if we can stay still long enough to recognise that internal change needs to take place when these issues arise, we can avoid self-made problems that may develop into crises later on and which will probably take years to resolve or to recover from.
To give you some examples of how we can do this, I have chosen 3 minor Saturn Returns to show how they can help us create and manage the flow of constant change that is necessary if we wish to become more in control of ourselves, and therefore our lives.
The first of these minor returns is the age of twenty-one, a zenith age and the third quarter of our first Saturn’s Return. This affects the years twenty, twenty-one and twenty-two. Twenty-one not only celebrates the beginning of the transition from childhood into adulthood, but signifies that we have survived the previous seven year mini cycle, which is the most hazardous cycle that we live in our lives.
Although we are at the peak of physical health, strength and mental capacity by the time we get to twenty-one, our brains are still in the late stages of development. Therefore we cannot conduct ourselves in the same manner as we do when our brains have reached the age of maturity which is twenty eight, our second Saturn Return, our major adulthood.
Despite this, the fact that we have succeeded in surviving until the age of twenty-one means that we are placed in an excellent position to identify issues associated with the onset of the third quarter. This mini cycle often centers around the fact that we are realising life is a lot more complicated than we once thought.
These complications result in self-doubt and many of us loose the certainty that we once had about life and the role we have to play in it. As a result, we start to question what it is we do need or want to do. Need vs. want is one of the life-long tools that is used by Saturn to clear the tables for us to start again. It shows us that what we need in life isn’t necessarily what we want, and what we want isn’t necessarily what we need.
Sooner or later, the realization that we either don’t get what we want but get what we need, or if we do get what we want, we are often disappointed. All the issues raised by Saturn act like nudges that can either direct or push us where we need to be rather than where we want to be, and synchronicity of course has a huge role to play in this.
So to make the transition from childhood to adulthood as smooth as possible, where are a few examples, which may be useful for those of you who are living in this mini cycle.
• Increase interaction with your spirit friends to receive their guidance and support, which can help you meet the challenges of everyday living.
• Make the changes you know are necessary by taking the time to reflect upon the decisions you made earlier during the day and why.
• Practice facing your fears.
Now we move onto the age of thirty-two, which is when we are tied into the mini cycle between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty-five. Thirty-two is when Saturn is functioning at its lowest point of activity within the cycle, which is basically it is akin to no man’s land. No mans land is what is left after the tables have been cleared but we haven’t started to relay them. By the time we have reached this age, we have probably lived one third of our lives, during which time we will have achieved much on both a personal and spiritual level, yet to what extent, few of us may not be aware.
This is because our successes are usually compared with material gain combined with unfair comparisons. As a result, many of us mis-read why it is we find ourselves wandering around in no mans land, experiencing a wide range of conflicting emotions and wondering what to do next, when in fact we should be joining those who are celebrating the fact that they have reached this save haven.
No mans land is a place where we can deal with unresolved issues left over from the previous major Saturn return at the age of twenty-eight. It is also the place where we can prepare ourselves to deal with new issues and opportunities that are in the process of coming to the surface and will be made known to us around the age of thirty-five. In other words, no mans land is a place where we can start to rebuild our lives and by doing so, we leave no mans land and enter the next cycle of our lives which starts at the age of thirty-four.
Rebuilding our lives can only occur when we are prepared to let go what has already gone. We continuing to review the past whilst dealing with issues raised in the present can achieve this. As we do so, we rebuild ourselves making a positive and productive future. Below are some of tactics that can help us achieve this.
• Listen to and act upon what your spirit guides, angels and loved ones have to tell you.
• Take notice of co-incidences.
• If necessary do new activities that will help you gain more confidence and self-esteem.
The final example tonight is the age of fifty-five, which is the year before we enter our third Saturn return, our second adulthood. Whether we realize it or not, it is the age when we are both ready and prepared to apply the wisdom of our years into what we think, feel and do throughout this oncoming second adulthood.
What underlines our second is the natural process of women who are born disempowered and empower, as they get older; and for men who are born empowered, they disempower, as they get older, thus the natural order of balance in maintained. These two distinct processes affect the manner as to how we enter this third major cycle.
This time in our lives is important for those women who spent the majority of their first adulthood either rearing their children, during which they often lost themselves, or had to work twice as hard and be twice as good as any man to carve out a career for themselves.
A second adulthood for these women represents ‘me’ times, when they are given the chance to play ‘catch up’ with regard to what they felt they may have missed out on during their first adulthood.
Men on the other hand are given the opportunity to recognise and accept that they are not the lads they were of yesteryear so that they can stop trying to chase their youths, an exhausting activity that leads to nowhere.
A second adulthood for such men gives them a chance to receive the benefits from getting to know themselves on an emotional level, something very few men were able or allowed to do in their younger years.
Aging isn’t for the faint hearted and one of the reasons why is because age reflects how we have lived our lives. Nevertheless, it is a time of great opportunity and at fifty-five we have the freedom to grab with both hands the time that that is left to us.
By doing so we demand the right to wallow in the fact that we have released ourselves from the insecurities of our youths, whilst having the wisdom to face the challenges that only the aging process can bring us. During the fifty-fifth year, the energies build to enable us to transition out of the third quarter and into the fourth at the age of fifty six as seamlessly as possible, so long as we:
• Mentally, emotionally and physically prepare for aging so that we can adapt to the subtle but major changes that age brings with it over time.
• Become more involved in working with the mind, body and spirit
• Become reconciled with the aging process so we can embrace it rather than fear it.
Working with our Saturn Returns isn’t easy but with practice, it becomes a way of life, but only if we can remember that by dealing with what is being raised in the minor returns at the time, allows the major ones to basically look after themselves. Furthermore, we are never alone when negotiating our Saturn Returns and if we feel that we are, then we simply call those spiritual beings who are expert in this field.
