When life gets hard, I have learned that I can look to Saturn for loving wisdom.
and I have embraced a practice of direct writing, and - as vulnerable as this is for me - I’m sharing my most recent letter to Saturn with you. I hope that it brings you peace. If you want to cultivate your own more positive relationship with Saturn, you are welcome to dive into our Loving Saturn Resource Kit. Or if you’d like to write in with your own question for Saturn, I’ll be glad to send you a response.Dear Saturn:
I feel like I have been giving everything I have to my work, but it just doesn’t seem like I’m moving forward. I get lost in the emptiness of my schedule, and I get anxious about the emptiness in my bank account. I know I can’t go back to the kinds of jobs I used to have, but I’ve been waiting for so long for this to work that I just don’t know if it ever will. I feel like a prisoner of my own destiny. So if I’m doing what feels right in my heart, why do I feel like a failure?
Love,
Patrick
Dear Patrick:
Thank you for your trust, I am listening.
Patrick, please know that I am so proud of you. Do you have any idea how brave you are? You grew up in a world that was all about success, and in so many ways it came easy for you. You didn’t have to try hard in school to do well. You used your brilliant brain to figure out how you could do the bare minimum to get the best grade. You learned how to phone it in, how to achieve without ever applying yourself.
This got you really far, Patrick. You were the teacher’s favorite, you were the valedictorian, you went to the best law school in the world. Even when you left your fancy lawyer job to find something you cared more deeply about, you eventually ended up on top of hundreds of applicants for a place with the United Nations.
I was there with you for this, Patrick. I watched as you climbed these ladders, and I wondered when you’d realize that it wasn’t in your heart. I wondered when you would wake up and ask yourself what it would be like to put all of yourself into something. I wondered when you would stop holding back, when you would let yourself stop presenting this perfect image for long enough to sit with the fear of failure.
Patrick, it is so important that you feel this fear. It is my gift to you, it is me telling you that you are – finally! – giving this everything you’ve got. This is the point of what you’re going through right now. You are learning the most valuable lesson of all, you are learning how to be more of who you are.
So please do me a favor and don’t expect this to be easy. You made things easy for so long that you forgot how much you love to work. You forgot that you came here to learn, and you got lost in all of the things you thought you were supposed to be. And now that you remember, it’s hard. There’s nobody around to give you an A+, a promotion or even a paycheck. It’s just you.
It's okay for things to feel hard sometimes, Patrick. Don’t look at this as a setback, look at it as you getting stronger. And the world needs you to be strong right now. There is so much changing, and the whole reason you’re doing your work is because you really care. You want to give it everything you have, and – maybe for the first time – you know that you are.
I can’t tell you when and how your work will land in the world, because part of what you’re learning right now is to be comfortable with the unknown. But I can tell you that I see all of your efforts, and that you are perfectly on track. And I can remind you that you are never alone. I pledge my support to you, and you will feel me in the ground beneath your feet with every step that you take. I will applaud your efforts, and I will reward you with the wisdom that you have always deserved.
Patrick, please also remember how you far you have come. Take a moment to look back at where you were five years ago when you began this adventure. You have grown SO MUCH MORE than you realize. Be proud of yourself, and enjoy all that you have created.
Love,
Saturn

When life gets difficult, it's not easy to feel the love beaming down at you from the skies above. It takes work to appreciate how the hard times help you grow, and in these times we can turn to Saturn.
Saturn understands how feelings of frustration, inadequacy, heaviness, constriction and sadness are important for our evolution, and it wants nothing more than for you to feel how resilient you are. When you choose build a supportive relationship with Saturn, you will learn to transform these dense emotions into peace, power, fulfillment, strength and joy. You will start to see that Our Universe was always rooting for you, and you will find a deeper reverence for the life you get to live.
This Resource Kit will help you connect with the loving wisdom of Saturn through conversation, meditation, journaling, embodiment and a one-on-one coaching session. It was born from a joint project between Patrick Geary (Intuitive Astrologer / Energy Coach) and Cristy De La Cruz (Astrology Enthusiast / Somatic Coach) to change their Saturn stories.
The more Patrick and Cristy spoke with Saturn, the more they felt its loving support beneath the tangle of fear on the surface. They offer this same pathway to you through these resources:
Foundational Conversation about the essential qualities, gifts and promises of Saturn (75 mins)
Immersive Meditation to connect deeply with the presence of Saturn that lives within you (45 mins)
Somatic Practices to process emotions during challenging times (5 practices: 50 mins)
Energy Clearing and Support Meditation to release heaviness and invite positivity (10 mins)
Guided Journaling Exercise to let go of (your) thoughts
You'll also get a link to book a Saturn Discovery Session (30 mins) with Patrick and/or Cristy. You'll get to know your own unique relationship with Saturn in your birth chart, and you'll discover what part of your life Saturn is lighting up with its wisdom today. ✨🪐✨
I love this letter so much, Patrick.🪐❤️
