SATURN: GUARDIAN OF THE INNER WORLD Daily Astrology Wed 16th Sept Saturn, Chiron and all 3 outer planets are moving backwards until mid October. This is the most inward time of the year. Things are cooking hard beneath the surface, and there is not much you can do to move anything forward. Keep doing what you do anyway, and your life will unfold in its own way at its own time. Saturn in particular is the bridge to the outer planets, he is their lens into this world, and he won't be going forward until early December. Saturn is in Aries, so you may feel frustrated. The long-term benefit of such a period is a different relationship to reality. The world and its ways are ever with us, and we judge and are judged accordingly. When there are things to do, do them. When there aren't, you have nothing to prove, you can get up late and fiddle around. The main thing is to be with yourself, that is what is of real value, and it will come out in your relationships in a good way. The Protestant work ethic has religious roots, that work is what will get you to heaven. It still affects us, makes us feel like bad people if we are not busy. So dis-identify from that feeling. Trust the deeper currents in your own being. If nothing seems to be happening, trust that too. It is a different way of living. The guide for how to live is deep and within, and will always see us right. Saturn, the worldly taskmaster, can be the denier of the value of the inner world. The project for the next 2 months is turning him into the guardian of the inner world, the crucible that enables transformation. And you can do that by paying careful attention to motive, and not doing things for the wrong reasons.
