Saturn Stationary Direct
The old Titan god Cronos (or Saturn) stands still in the sky.  Dad’s come home from work and we had better done our chores! The little karmic spanking he delivers stings, but it must be for our own good!  Relationships figure prominently in with Venus now also exactly conjunct the South Node (Ketu).  Some relationships are made, some are broken, and some go through difficult and/or strange spaces.  Perseverance is the key to Saturn’s passages over our charts, endure the process.  We don’t always understand it while its happening, but as we make it out of the dark forest or long tunnel, eventually the light shows us everything we need to know.  Sense, integrity then becomes clear and is more a part of us.  The Moon also conjuncts Juno, marking this day as one of true encounters.
