Transiting Saturn enters retrograde zone

Timeline (current events in bold)

Sunday, March 24, 2024, 02:26 UT - Saturn enters pre-retrograde shadow, 12°42’ Pisces

Saturday, June 29, 19:07 UT - Saturn stations retrograde, 19°26’ Pisces

Friday, November 25, 14:20 UT - Saturn stations direct, 12°42’ Pisces

Tuesday, February 18, 2025, 13:25 UT - Saturn exits post-retrograde shadow, 19°46’ Pisces

Well, poo - here we go again. As Martin Bulgerin wrote (at www . biopscinst . com):

Saturn retrograde is probably the least pleasant influence around. Saturn is a hard-nosed, Mr. Brass Tacks himself, the teacher with the big ruler that insists you dot all your I’s and cross all your T’s before recess. He teaches us about responsibility and claiming our authority in the world, a class (Character Building 101) many of us would rather skip. Needless to say, this kind of discipline and skill is very useful later, even though the cycle itself is rough to get through.

In Pisces, spiritual progress is one very big concern. We’re a lot more conservative with these impulses. Some of us may feel like there’s a lack of Deity - Deity is hiding or has its back turned on us, like that - and the test involves, what are you going to do now? Some ways we usually “go with the flow” may be temporarily blocked. And we all need to avoid drowning ourselves in self-pity: “poor me,” victim mentality, escapism. Most of our problems are of the “first world” variety.

Solitude is good with this transit, especially if you’re going to use it (Saturn) for spiritual purposes (Pisces). Taking on some kind of spiritual discipline is one possibility.

Between now and June 29, when Saturn stations retrograde, there are no major aspects between Saturn and the slower-moving planets. (Not so next year, there’ll be a ton.) We’re becoming aware of Saturn-type situations which need our attention - we address them during the retrograde portion of our program.

Saturn stationing on my natal moon to the degree is like cherry on top of this Saturn moon transit and in a Venus profection year. Virgo asc for the solar return too and I've seen so many long term, health issues come up which are also a factor of discipline and time management on my part and also the general feeling of depression/melancholia.

OPINION ON PLUTO

PLUTO IS A PLANET!!!!!!!!!!

PLUTO IS A NOT A PLANET!!!!!!!

Voting ended onFeb 16, 2023

To everyone voting for the first option: I bet you think dinosaurs didn't have feathers because incorporating new findings into research hurts your feelings.

[a-really-big-cat]

This is the stupidest addition I've ever seen.

People say Pluto is "not a planet" because in 2006, 5% of the International Astronomical Union, a grand total of 424 people, voted to give "planet" a formal astronomical definition. Why did they do this? As far as anyone can tell, the only apparent reason for why they needed to come up with such a conservative definition of "planet" is because at that time, dozens of new, planet-sized objects (such as Eris) that were round and orbited the Sun were being discovered to exist beyond Neptune. This made it challenging to justify labeling Pluto as the "ninth planet" when there were so many satellites that were similar to Pluto that were arbitrarily called "not-planets". So the astronomers that were able to attend the vote (again, 424 out of a possible 9000 people) decided on the final definition that some astronomers use today.

The above addition acts as if the definition of "planet" is something objective that science has "discovered"; like dinosaurs having feathers. But obviously that's ridiculous. It's an argument over (ultimately inconsequential) terminology, and furthermore, the IAU definition has its fair share of criticisms by other astronomers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_planet#Ongoing_controversies

I want to especially highlight this paragraph: "Many astronomers, claiming that the definition of planet was of little scientific importance, preferred to recognise Pluto's historical identity as a planet by 'grandfathering" it into the planet list." Basically, why do we need to restrict the definition of "planet" to 8 bodies in the first place? Is it because schoolchildren need to learn them, and so you need a short list? Why is that something schoolchildren need to learn? Isn't it simpler to just say "the number of planets is undetermined, but here are the 9 most famous/important ones" for your memory"?

It is remarkable that the discovery of Eris, the goddess of chaos/discord, kicked off this astronomical controversy

“Take the example of “strength.” It might initially seem that strength is more ingressive than congressive, but there are different ways to be strong. Traditional strength might be thought of as power, toughness, the ability to be unyielding either physically or emotionally, and thus to overcome others. That is ingressive strength. Congressive strength could be more like flexibility. Some physical materials are strong precisely because they are flexible, whereas something rigid is more likely to break. Congressive strength is like a river altering its course to wind its way through a contoured landscape, as opposed to a waterfall that just pours out. Or deep-rooted plants that can sway in strong winds, compared with a big tree that is more likely to fall down.”

the sexuality of the ascendants

aries: you have a very primal and primitive sexual nature. you see sex as a way to conquer others. you're always looking at new potential sexual targets as a challenge to encourage your robust sexual expression.

taurus: you're very physical and you have a strong sexual interest in a variety of partners. you are a hedonist and keenly attuned to physical sensation. you may find it difficult to have platonic friends that you're attracted to.

gemini: your vast mental activity leads to a variety of short sexual experiences rather than deeply-committed sexual involvements. you seek to understand yourself and others through sex.

cancer: your sexuality is strongly linked to emotional security. when you feel safe, or your mate makes your feel secure, then you can let go sexually. you can't deal with rejection, and love is not taken lightly.

leo: you're highly sexed and may be an exhibitionist. you have an air of superiority and entitlement about you; as such you may feel the sexual experiences you desire shouldn't be denied to you.

virgo: you tend to sublimate your sexual desire by rationalization and mental discrimination. you can practice asexuality and abstinence if your high sexual standards aren't met. you seek perfection in your sexual identity.

libra: when it comes to sex, you mirror the needs of your mate. you're in love with love and have a tendency not to know who you really are outside of the love experience. you have a passive sexual identity and need encouragement from your mate.

scorpio: you wear your sexuality on your sleeve. intensely sexual, you tend to stalk your sexual targets, like an animal looking for prey. sex sharpens your intuitive and instinctive nature, and you have a lot of depth to your nature.

sagittarius: you use sex to break out of bondage whenever you feel chained. you are surprisingly romantic and see sex as an adventure. you're impatient in your need to break boundaries and use sex to transcend limits.

capricorn: your sexual life may be somewhat limited and inhibited. your need for sex is outweighed by your need for self-respect and dignity. you have a very rigid set of principles that you won't let any sexual act violate.

aquarius: sexually curious, your sexual instincts are more mental than physical. by knowing about others' sexual adventures you feel as if you're part of something bigger than yourself.

pisces: you're very loving and mystical; you dream of love without boundaries, which can mean that you lose yourself through sex. your mystique and timidity absorbs others into your sexual vibration.
