It’s still raining in the Big City and I keep thinking about whether to run another errand in the Pisces Moon rain. Pisces Moon trine Mars in Cancer rain.
Besides “taking it on faith,” I was also recently told to focus more on “self-care,” which of course my Virgo Moon began to research. What is self-care. What does it mean for me? And yes I agreed with the person who told me this and it’s why I’m not pushing myself today.
Now, you may be one of those bubble bath people. Or one of those eat ’til you puke people. Or one of those jog-a-holics or make-up lovers and the way you pamper yourself is with Just. One. More. Lip. Gloss. Could be. No judgement here. We all have our things. We all have ways, or need to develop ways, to self-nurture. Otherwise? Otherwise what do you have? A room in the Hotel Ten O’ Wands š
I think many folks would start with the Moon: what does your Moon want, what does your Moon need. Or look at Venus, another lovely lady: what does she love, what does she value? I think we also need to look at Saturn because even though Saturn is fear… Saturn shows us… something that needs our effort. And the pay-off? Could be good.
I have Saturn in Taurus so Taurus stuff can be hard for me. I’ll avoid it. It’s not comfortable. And yet if I work that Taurus… hmm. Luxe!
Maybe you have Saturn in Scorpio. Maybe you fear deep deep intimacy. Maybe you have Saturn in Virgo. Maybe you fear routine or the body. Maybe you have Saturn in Cancer. Maybe you fear your mother. Maybe you have Saturn in Capricorn and you just don’t want to work. Saturn in Pisces? No one’s gonna make you merge! Not until you’re good and ready. And maybe you never will be.
And spend time, especially, on the element: is your Saturn in earth, water, fire, or air?
Remember that Saturn co-rules Aquarius and ain’t no one gonna make the Water-Bearer do nothing s/he don’t wanna do.
So here’s today’s exercise: find your natal Saturn and consider the sign your Saturn is in. Think about what that sign means.Do you see a connection between your Saturn and how you need to best take care of yourself?

Heck yeah! Awesome view, MP. I’ve never considered Saturn where nuturing the moon is concerned. Both are in the same sign though so I’ve figured this much only; I’ve got to keep a balance between luxury and necessity.
makes sense to me, EW š
Oooh good exercise, make me break it down and take it in one piece at a time. Funny thing is that by the time I get past what the sign is and on to the house position I start forgetting what I read up on prior. I need this!
Saturn in Aries 5H
Saturnian lessons are paramount in my current development; issues from my past are permeating/saturating my life currentlyā¦This is due Transiting Saturn in Libra 11H is opposing Natal Saturn (Aries 5H) and Squaring my Natal Sun & Mercury (Cancer 8H), while building up to a trine w/ Natal Moon (Gemini 8H). Once he passes my personal planets by transit he will be visiting my Natal Mars (Libra 11H) and I suspect this conjunction with the ruler of sign Saturn is in the natally will allow me the insight or opportunity to see and nurture this connection through circumstanceā¦Or maybe break a few bones!!!
Using Saturn to best take care of myself:
Work hard and be a person I am proud of and one that others are proud to partner with (Libra). In my typical experiences I am the working boss that can and does perform all the tasks and duties of my subordinates. I couldnāt be the boss that simply dictates to her staff and goes off on her own path. I forged the path, rallied the best candidates to perform the jobs needed to complete the objective (and so on and so on). I lead by example, I earned their respect. I wouldnāt be able to monitor work and provide feedback or identify coaching opportunities (nor would they buy into it) if I was NOT qualified to do the work myself. At work (I see the Saturn/Cap/10H connection clearly here), I rose through the ranks from a claim pymnt processor to managing the company. I take my experience and build on it, going higher and achieving my professional goals. The company has grown at the same pace as my growth there. Then came the recession (and Saturn to my 10H and Pluto in Cap to my 2H) the business continues to take a hit, I took a huge pay cut and no raises since 2008 (we used to get annual increases). We have cut staff (a few times) while trying to build the business back up. That equals more responsibility, bigger title, less pay and less benefits while questioning the future of the company as every day goes byā¦I am in a position to do it because it has to be done and I have to convince my teams to stay on board (hang in there) doing it alongside of me all the while. I am getting agitated and in prime Saturnian fashion this is getting OLD!!! With these current transits from my 11H of hopes and dreams, I do not feel any security at work, the authority above me is practically nonexistent other to come downstairs and pull the rug out from underneath us continuously. I feel like ābutting headsā would be for no good reason at all, he is the authority but I have no respect there (give or get) and I am not alone in that feeling. So it seems with the transits the work is never ending, I am depressed about doing more and questioning my future even though my quality or quantity of work couldnāt be at a higher degree. I am not in control of the future of the company (right now the economy is) even though I control everything in the interior of the business and day to day management of itā¦DIFFICULT. I see all of the negative traits in play, I guess its good to have Saturn put a damper on being selfish, insensitive, self centered, opinionated and impulsive. I definitely feel these energies I just donāt react to them. Its not so much that I am putting the other persons feelings first its more like I just want to deal with the consequences of my misbehavior, or be looked at like that type of person. It seems like no matter what I say it is remembered and becomes a point of conversation (mostly for good or morale building)ā¦God help me if I start seething! Positively I can and will lead in difficult times, I need to bolster my self esteem and this experience will take me to a better company where my skills and leadership are appreciated. I am seeing my last days in this company and on this particular journey, but I worked hard and continue lead because it matters to me. I respect that in anyone (including me).
Again Awesome topic. Houses next??? I am now charting and cataloging the information compiled in my research and will apply this to the transits as they unfoldā¦..Thank You!
I couldn’t remember if I responded to this comment yet… Keep us updated Jo on your findings!
Hmmmmm.. I’ve never seen Saturn’s placement put this way… this opens my eyes quite a bit. hmmm. I have Saturn in Gemini, huh. So. Maybe it makes sense I fear comminication? Or using the things I learn for anything.. “useful”? Or that I’ve often been consternated by the fact I feel like 2 different people shoved into one body with seemingly different sets of how things should work? *shrugs*
Seriously.. I really have had a terrible fear of letting anyone know my thoughts on just about anything. It’s only recently, that I’m finally letting down my defenses… a couple years ago.. I never would have commented on a blog like this. lol
Thanks for this different perspective! š
Thanks, Beth. The way you are thinking about it is exactly what i wanted to encourage. And it’s the basis of how i understand saturn. My go-to for Saturn. There’s fear involved. It blocks us or we block it. I have saturn in taurus. Do i have a problem with beauty? Hell yes i do. Do i need help getting solid yes. material concerns? yep. Free-associate until you get SOMEWHERE that makes sense for you.
Are you afraid to speak? to write? to speak your mind? are you afraid that others will think u r two faced if you speak your mind? fear of… multi-tasking lol fear of just letting your hair down and going to a party and chatting everyone up and just being a fun flirty gal etc etc…
Fear of your own… flights of fancy…
All of the above! LOL
Like I said.. I’m just now learning to “get over” myself. š It doesn’t help that this is also in my 1st House! LOL I’m terribly afraid of how I look to other people. Sheesh. Yeah, I can’t WAIT to get over THAT one.
1st house saturn, yeah they probably tell you that you will work REALLY HARD but that’s because u have no choice
