Sometimes life gets hard.
Despite our best efforts - or maybe even because of them - we find ourselves stuck in a situation that we would never consciously choose. Maybe you lose your job. Maybe your business folds. Maybe your best friend moves away. Maybe your partner leaves you. Maybe you get really sick. Maybe someone you love dies.
Our lives are filled with these kinds of experiences, and it so easy to feel like there is something being taken away from us. We might throw our hands up to curse the heavens, demanding spiritual justification for this unfounded persecution. WHY ME? What kind of a cruel being in the clouds would do this, and how could it ever be fair for us to face such heartache?
When we lash out at the cold blackness all around, we begin to collapse in on ourselves. We wonder what we have done to deserve this punishment, we question why we are so unworthy of a joyful existence. We sink into the sloth of our sadness, and we doubt whether we have what it takes to move forward with less.
I know what this looks like because - like you - I’ve been there. I have lost jobs, friends, boyfriends, health, and loved ones. I have felt alone, abandoned, crushed, defeated, inconsolable, depressed and weighed down. I have felt disconnected from the sparkling Universe around me, and I have felt disconnected from myself.
The most amazing thing about all of this is: I’m still here. I keep choosing to show up, and I have learned that I no longer have to wear my suffering as a badge of honor. I don’t need to spin you the same old story that shrinks my love of life through the pain of loss; I can put in the time to tell you a tale where every step is perfectly synchronized with the greater good. I am allowed to find meaning in all of the experiences that life offers me, even - maybe especially - the ones that suck.
In our majestic skies, Saturn is the reigning ruler of things that suck. Saturn is associated with fear, doubt, loss, deterioration, blockage, denial, criticism, constriction, burden, difficulty, heaviness, deterioration and sadness. It is the planet that dares to deliver us bad news, to look us squarely in the eyes and tell us that we simply cannot have things the way we (think we) want. So it’s no surprise that clients cringe when they hear that Saturn is coming to town, and I can feel the way our conversations descend into dense emotions. 😔
There is, as always, more to the (big) picture: Saturn doesn’t just knock us down, it also picks us up. If we are brave enough to accept what Saturn puts before us, we will receive the virtues of patience, peace, gratitude, discipline, dedication, endurance, power, responsibility, and fulfillment. Saturn is the planet of silver linings, and its greatest gift is the wisdom of life experience. So it’s similarly no surprise that clients beam when they realize how much they have learned from Saturn, and I can feel the grounding force of their fortitude. 💪
You deserve the feel this shift, too - and if you’re looking for a new perspective on hard times, today is most definitely your day. Saturn is presently passing through the heart of the Sun, which marks the beginning of a new year-long cycle. It is a point of purification and divine inspiration for all things Saturn, and this time around there is extra oomph in our thoughts and words as mental Mercury joins in the solar fire. This is a chance for you to commit to a new way of being with the discomfort of difficulty, an opportunity to start cultivating the wisdom available to you in every moment. 📚
If this speaks to you, please know that you have the support of Our Universe - and that the effort it takes to shift your Saturn story will be worth it. My somatically wise colleague

Weekly Oracle
This week we get a refreshed / refreshing view of Saturn in Pisces, and we consider how setting limits on compassionate connection can save us from slipping into the suffering of others. We get imaginal with Mercury and Neptune, and we explore how limiting it can be to think that we know the truth of how the Universe works. I also dive deeper into my own intuition and offer you an image and a message from the great big beyond.
