Understanding Saturn from a Non-Astrologer point of view

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Gururattana,

I have been following the discussion regarding Capricorn and

Saturn with great interest. I, too am grateful for your monthly

articles which seem to condense some very technical astrological

information into laymens terms. When I read about someone

with " Pisces rising " - I wondered how one determines those factors

(risings, etc.). Do you recommend that one obtain a professional

chart - or is that information available in a book?

I am often surprised at how accurate your monthly articles

describe my current psychic state. At the moment, I am definitely

stuck with several experiences of disappointments, fears, delays and

struggles. You wrote, " Resolution is not found in stoically enduring

our pain, doing nothing, having blind faith and hoping that our

patience and self-control will help us pay off this onerous karma. "

I'm even more troubled regarding what I did to draw these seemingly

futile situations to myself. In one instance, a very dear friend

(whom I have known for over 25 years) gave me rosary beads that

belonged to a now-deceased priest (mututal friend) several years ago,

saying she wanted me to have them and pass them on to my son (keep

them in the family). She called the week after Christmas and asked

me to send them back - stating that she could no longer feel safe

without them. I hate to appear so materialistic - but this request

(which I immediately complied with) has seemingly created heartache

and depression. I felt betrayed.

My sister is dying from a very aggressive form of thyroid cancer

and has distanced herself from me and my 89 year old father. (she

also has addiction issues). Did I do something to create this ugly

situation/karma?

It is hard to visualize the psychological feedom that can be

experienced from " taking the noose of external authorities off our

own necks. " The most distressing thought of all is that I may

somehow be missing the boat - and failing to comprehend some way in

which my own inner reality is creating this mess.

Do you have any feedback and/or guidance?

Blessings.

Sat Nam, Abinashi

 

I have been following the discussion regarding Capricorn and Saturn with

* I am glad you are allowing yourself the deep understanding. Thanks for

sharing.

 

When I read about someone with " Pisces rising " - I wondered how one

determines those factors

(risings, etc.). Do you recommend that one obtain a professional chart - or

is that information available in a book?

 

* The rising sign can be calculated only if the time and place of birth are

known. There are free services on line and there are many astrologers who

you can pay do do your chart. Check on line.

 

 

I am often surprised at how accurate your monthly articles describe my

current psychic state. At the moment, I am definitely stuck with several

experiences of disappointments, fears, delays and struggles. You wrote,

" Resolution is not found in stoically enduring

* If it is not obvious, then just look deeply at the lesson. We can't

figure out why we draw all situtations to ourselves. Some things we will

never know. But we can learn from what is in our face.

 

In one instance, a very dear friend

(whom I have known for over 25 years) gave me rosary beads that belonged to

a now-deceased priest (mututal friend) several years ago, saying she wanted

me to have them and pass them on to my son (keep

them in the family). She called the week after Christmas and asked me to

send them back - stating that she could no longer feel safe without them. I

hate to appear so materialistic - but this request (which I immediately

complied with) has seemingly created heartache

and depression. I felt betrayed.

 

 

* Perfect Saturn lesson. Attachment to the item instead of the connection

with the Divine. Now this loving priest is deceased, so you can call upon

him to blesss a new set of beads for you. The question is if you are open

to feel the power and the connection.

 

*Also, if they were taken away then they are not for you. Maybe you need

your own clean beads. You certainly don't need the karma of all those

people in your aura. Come on, trust a little. If something is taken away,

there could be a deeer reason.

 

* Maybe you don't need any at all. In any case CHANGE YOUR STORY to one

that works for you instead of one that makes you miserable.

 

My sister is dying from a very aggressive form of thyroid cancer

 

* Now that is sad and like all loss from death you will have to deal with

the loss.

 

and has distanced herself from me and my 89 year old father. (she also has

addiction issues).

 

* so she doesn't know how to handel her situation. Pray for her.

 

Did I do something to create this ugly situation/karma?

 

* See, that is the problem with some of this Christain dogma -- guilt, I am

bad, I created something bad. You are at choice to again change your story.

This could be a chance to help your sister with love that she does not know

how to access and needs as she transitions.

 

* When my mom was dying I realized that I was not in charge. It did not

take much to figure that out!! So my sister and I joined up and just held

the space of love no matter what. And now mom is in a real nice place that

she could not have been able to get by herself. She deserved it and we

could deliver, so we did. And now we are all very satisfied. It is all a

question of choice -- how do we choose to deal with what we are dealt. God

deals the cards. We pay our hand. How we choose to play is up to us.

 

It is hard to visualize the psychological feedom that can be

experienced from " taking the noose of external authorities off our own

necks. "

 

* Your main problem is YOUR inner authority that is driving you nuts. Also

it has nothing to do with visualization. This is an experience that you

permit yourself to have and then you get into it like a kid in a sandbox.

 

 

The most distressing thought of all is that I may

somehow be missing the boat - and failing to comprehend some way in which my

own inner reality is creating this mess. Do you have any feedback and/or

guidance?

 

* For 5 minutes every day love yourself exactly they way you are and accept

your life the way it is exactly the way it is. Extend the time as you feel

able. No exceptions -- 5 minutes everday! You will do great. You just

need to practice.

 

 

Blessings.
