Saturn is back in Sagittarius — and we’re supposed to wax poetic now and philosophical now about what it all means — which of course is very Sag right? Make some keyword soup.
THE MEANING OF LIFE, searching for the meaning of life, is often ascribed to the 9th House and Jupiter and Sag and yes it is an INTELLECTUAL sign. They love a good debate!
Sag is smart and, yes, philosophical, and I want to contrast the personal with the philosophical.
Philosophy creates distance. Philosophy is an example. It’s a head trip, not blood and guts or messy emotion. It’s not your life story. It’s the story about… that guy over there and what HE went through.
I think Saturn in Sagittarius is going to challenge the Archers in this way (to name just one way, right now) — that they will be compelled, challenged, to be and live LESS impersonally, and that there will be DEAD ENDS rather than throughways and mountaintops for those Saggies who insist on logic and big picture at the expense of messy emotion and the practical magic of daily life.
Messy emotion. Mmmmmmm love me some messy emotion.
I had a friend — a good friend once upon a time — I loved to talk with her more than anyone. Scorpio Rising, Taurus Moon, Sag Sun. DEEP. An artist and storyteller (so many stories) who had trouble finishing her paintings. I could sit and talk with her for hours. There was no information overload – she was the best of Sag, in my opinion — truly philosophical, poetic, visionary, perceptive, an expansive creative intellectual gift — pretty much everything she said was interesting and her Taurus Moon warmth was like… it was like a cake. Falling into a fluffy cake. Oh yes she often said the hurtful thing (I witnessed this) and once it was directed towards me and I let her know in my Cancerian way that it was NOT going to work. Not with me – as I left her apartment in tears. And it never happened again. She learned to choose her words. I still miss her. So rare — to find that person you really can sit and talk with all night. I can still hear her say, about a man she decided not to continue dating, “I am not impressed. What is that? I am not impressed with that.”
She was lucky but as lucky as she was, she was generous, charitable, and she would cry when you’d cry. Real tears. And then say “I’ll make us a tea!”
Another thing about Sag, the best of Sag, they can see in you what is real and true but hasn’t happened yet. It’s more than prophesy, it’s… seeing the BEST you can be. She was the first person (maybe the only one ever) who told me I would make a wonderful mother, who saw that in me. I couldn’t believe it? ME? No one thought I’d do much at all.
Now that Saturn is in Sag I think it’s time to give her a call — it’s been a while. The Uranus Pluto square blew my life apart. I’m putting it back together.
Are you feeling philosophical?

Of course you’d make a wonderful mother – you’re a Cancer! The ‘best’ mothers I know (and by that I mean the most natural, the ones who clearly are ‘meant’ to be mothers) are Cancerians.
I never thought I had any maternal instincts at all but I think I ‘mother’ in a different way. I’m a secretary at the uni and look after nearly 50 mathematicians (it’s like herding cats) and after I’ve been on annual leave and return to my desk it’s apparently like ‘mum’s home now’ !!! :o)
that they will be compelled, challenged, to be and live LESS impersonally, and that there will be DEAD ENDS rather than throughways and mountaintops for those Saggies who insist on logic and big picture at the expense of messy emotion and the practical magic of daily life.
I’d think they (and Sag-style arguments) might get repressed – or become deathly serious.
I don’t know, personally, just so long as Saturn is off *my* ass. (After all, I’ve experienced Saturn through 11-12-1/Virgo-Libra-Scorpio twice, and I can say that both times were the most awful times of my life.)
I got my shipment of 2 tarot decks to replace my long-gone previous decks: a limited edition reprint of the Tarot de Marseille Pierre Madenie 1709 and a Lo Scabero Ancient Italian Tarot deck (it was very pretty, more in keeping with inclinations and I figured I could award it the hard use and spare the other deck). So that was nice.

[‘Woo.’]
Woo 🙂
Is this supposed to be good news for my Sag moon? LOL. I already have Venus Pluto so I don’t need more intensity in my emotions. Day 1 and a another year and 364 days to go. : )
One good thing about Saturn on my moon is my sudden lessening of appetite and interest in tough daily exercise. I will be a mess internally BUT I will be thinner!
Um… no
That’s what I thought.
Happy Saturn in Sag Day!! :):):) Whew!! I survived!!
Next up: When Pluto Goes Direct(TM). LOL!

I am a late Sag (December 17 1953) with Taurus moon and Scorpio rising. I have cut out people in my life in the last year that have been very hurtful to me. I have learned not to be offensive and cutting. I try not to hurt people’s feelings and sometimes I am biting my tongue or as I mentioned, cut them out of my life. This happened when Saturn went into Sag earlier this year and then I came back with them when Saturn when back into Scorpio. It will be interesting now that Saturn is back in Sag.
I am not an artist although I have done embroidery in my twenties. I try to be a loyal friend. I hope you reconnect with your friend.
Thank you 🙂 you have a great chart!
