So I’m back at the gym for Saturn.
That’s the structure I decided to put (back) into my day to give Saturn in Scorpio, now retrograde, a little help.
I often listen to music when I work, especially when I blog, and I just put on a Philip Glass song and remembered last year on the treadmill how I loved to jog to it.
I’ll listen to Rihanna and the Rolling stones too but Phillip Glass really made me feel like I was getting somewhere. I get obsessed with songs and I think I just listened to that one for the last… 45 minutes? Enough.
Saturn = structure. Scorpio = obsession. That’s what a song is.

Desire without being able to express that desire is painful. This is not a new feeling for me but with Pluto now transiting my 5th House (love, creativity) and with my 7th House (committed partners) filled to bursting with the urge to merge (fast moving transiting planets in Pisces), I’m in heaven/hell. This is a sextile though. It’s easy. And yet it’s PLUTO. Not easy. Impatience, crisis, desire, change, chains. Fate.
So what does one do if the Beloved is out of reach? One can go to the gym. One can make art. But it must be physical. It must come out. Be expressed. Blood, sweat, tears. Once upon a time, Phillip Glass had the desire to create that beautiful music on Glassworks. And so he penetrated. And so he gave birth.

What will you do for your desire? What structure will you put into your life now that Saturn is retrograde? Are you also feeling this need? Remember when we were talking about the Devil card from the Tarot? The Devil doesn’t yet know what structure is needed. Instead it/he/she/they just feel the heavy chain, the burden, limited. The burden gets lighter once we catch a little light and can see the way ahead. Less longing and more… reality. Knowing what we’re dealing with. Less mystery driving us, less compulsion.
I was explaining today to someone that I have so much earth in my chart, I need touch, experience. I’m not satisfied with air (thoughts) or even water (expression of feelings). I need to see, touch, hear, taste, succumb.

Saturn in Scorpio. Pluto in Capricorn. Sun, Mercury, Mars in Pisces. The skies are harmonious (sextiles and trines) and yet with Saturn retrograde and Mercury going retrograde… the kingdoms that we must establish are underwater. What a task this is. It’s crazy. How do you settle down, make a home, plan ahead, build in water? By trust. Trusting. See, water signs always know. They always doubt but they always know. Even if what they know is that they don’t know.
Don’t fight the Pisces, my friends 🙂
Happy Weekend from the Big City

Love this. Truly supports the Pisces.
I love Philip Glass!!
I just found out Philip Glass has a cottage in Cape Breton. And I know the priest who has a cottage next door. And my uncle has met Philip Glass! I only found this out one minute ago when I asked my cousin to put one of his songs on YouTube. So weird!
Sounds like we have the same chart…probably around the same age..I have Pisces Sun at 7 degrees so my 7th house is very active right now and I have transit Pluto in 5th – but I have Natal pluto conjunct North Node in virgo in 1st…I have natal chiron at 2 pisces and now I have transit chiron conjunct my sun…ouch I know.
What I want to structure is my inner core. I always go to follow the light outside of myself, and I end up lost! Now, for a change, I will stay right there, within, with me and see what my inner light guides me to do… Yes!

This just clarified a lot for me! I had thought about this but didn’t make time to figure it out… Last year I was obsessed running on my treadmill – 5 miles everyday practically and since December it’s been slow – like I can’t find it in me … I have to get back in the game! And did I mention I hate all this water in the skies right now – I want to cry just because? so sad. So Saturn is in my 10th and Pluto in my first, I’m glad neither is going back over my angles. The obsession should have been obvious but I was too busy running to look at why I was going crazy about it. How do I settle down? I plan. I relax when I plan. And I trust my plans, what does water know about planning? I’d just float away in a day dream! I’d rather plan. I love all the earth in my chart.
I’m so glad, Nelly! I felt like my words were underwater so I’m glad it got clear 🙂
