2-Brazen lady re. I Hate Winter blog....1/25

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy:

Ran across your Winter blog comment here today

regarding Winter. I know what you

mean.

Like many other people, I too, generally have

greatly disliked Winter!

 

But, over the last few years, I've come to

understand, as you intimated, that there is an intrinsic goodness to

Winter as well!

 

This is when I began to realize that Winter is

Saturn!

 

Did you see my article on " Saturn is

Winter " I wrote awhile back?

 

I've also realized that those of us who especially

dislike Saturn

probably have some important work to do with

Saturn.

 

Also, Ayurveda has some interesting things to say

regarding the natural cycles of the seasons.

 

We have the natural pitta cycles of spring and

summer and the cool

fall and winter greatly balance the excessive heat

of the earlier

times.

 

When I realized this a few years ago, I began

letting myself even

more fully fill up with the heat of the summer,

knowing that the

Winter would come to relieve me of

that.

 

And for the last few years, that helped a

lot.

 

The thing that's helped the most however, is

correlating Winter with Saturn and since I've wanted to grow within

Saturn's nature, this has inspired me to try and find the

goodness within Winter!

 

Finally, the last thing that's helped me, is

realizing whenever I

experience any of the negative consequences of any

of the Planets,

I take this as a 'sign' that, that planet is

temporarily acting malefically, and I need to increase the Knowledge and

Wisdom of that planet.

 

So, when I find myself in a Saturn negative moment,

feeling either

impatient, out of balance, cold or depressive, I

take a breath, and relax, embracing the Silence that is temporarily

lacking in my experience.

 

Winter, in truth is a wonderful opportunity to work

on one's inner life.

 

Winter is the time, when the roads are clogged up,

icy, like now, and the sky is gray.

 

But, that gray sky is very conducive to extra rest,

meditating, being more inward and being more

focused on my inner development.

 

There will be plenty of time to be dynamic and

active come the spring time.

 

But, now is a golden opportunity to bask in the

beauty and the sublime special qualities of Saturn!

 

Nice talking with you!
