Within the frame of the global cross-examination in the sense of “restructuring the power” represented by governing entities who are now being called upon to integrate the demands of the new age such as cultural, social, racial, environmental, gender, health issues into the establishment of the set of new rules of the game based on traditionally proven, yet contemporary upgraded, with respect to all the needs of the modern world no longer to be ignored.  The times are changing, however for all the concepts that make the Ego projections, cravings and power- demonstrations central, with no respect to human dignity in all the manifestations, the Time’s already Up.

This rare phenomenon of Bloody, Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse on 11 degrees Leo is occurring within the reach of the Minor Planet Ceres, of the same importance as Pluto and the karmic North Node in the natural Fifth House of Zodiac thus awakening the key issues in each and every individual life tackling the question of Self-Love and Self-Respect. You would agree, the most important personal training issues in the light of contemporary demands would be exactly those: The Self-Love emanating from personal Self-Awareness of one’s own Self-Worth as the outcome of the process of establishing the personal system of values and Self-Respect emanating from the affirmation of one’s own Dignity that essentially differs from Pride – altogether being notorious characteristics of Leo.

The Eclipse on 11 degrees Leo, conjoined with transit Ceres on 13 degrees Leo plus the North Node on 14 degrees Leo altogether represent the powerful archetypal seismic activity of the collective unconscious with the karmic duty of “Learning the Lesson” in order to accomplish the benefit of this Eclipse.  Namely, the consequential influences of the Eclipse take part as long as 6 months after the cosmic event and it would be important to mention the basic symbolism of this karmic, global shift in consciousness whereupon Ceres takes central stage.

Ceres is usually associated with the constellation of Virgo, the cult of Virgin Mary and the unconditional love due to its self-improvement urge for the sake of evolution of the humanity in the light of the apparent transition of the Royal Star Regulus – the heart of Leo into the sign of Virgo a decade ago whereupon the transition from Ego-centered towards self-improved contemporary man has taken place.

Ceres is a minor planet since 2006 and represents the female principle of the mythological sister of Zeus i.e. Jupiter. Ceres was called Demeter in the Greek mythology and she is associated with harvest, agriculture, motherhood, crops, hunting and represents the archetype of the hard-working woman who brings food to the table. It represents a mother, protector in the modern times depicting all the single mothers who support the family.  In a wider sense, it represents independent women who solely depend on themselves as an imperative of the 21^st Century in the world that must be able to provide education, health protection, business opportunities, work protection, equality and respect for all the women of the world. This very eclipse tackles this issue as being central,  in the world of relativized gender identification of so many androgynous people with high self-awareness whereupon the gender orientation is being essentially less important unified in the turquoise unisex color. Modern tendencies overcome traditional, conventional gender role-play and raises awareness on the importance of the individual freedom to choose what to identify with in the frame of all the contemporary concepts as well as the importance of giving credit to women for all they contribute and provide to the world.  With respect to the karma cycle of the intensive self-improvement, the ultimate aim for all the human beings in accordance to the Bible as well as the ultimate standards of performance in the world would be becoming as perfect as angels. Mind you, Angels are essentially Androgynous.

On the quest to self-improvement, the realization of one’s own wholeness considers individuation for the sake of acceptance the Anima of Men (Female part of Men inherently identified with Mother) as well as Animus of Women (Male part of Women inherently identified with Father) as the essential and indispensable part of being in the psycho-dynamics. Therefore, the conventional  gender role-play is slowly being overcome in the times to come only more transparently and directly.

“Girls just want to have FUNdamental human rights” would be the quote of this Eclipse that raises awareness on the importance of independence of all the women and girls in the world who essentially strive for the same goals as men, provide the same results and demand the same rights.

Within the frame of cross-examination on the worldly scale, being exposed to the same karma grind, this Eclipse with Ceres and North Node reminds the world of its own karma to give credit to women for everything they provide, secure their independence, treat them with respect, establish the fundamental human rights in practice not just on paper and hear the voice of women all around the world who stand the chance of saving it.

Furthermore, within the symbolism of Leo that represents the heart and the symbolism of Ceres that represents detachment, sadness and the fear of losing the loved one, it is worth mentioning that according to mythology Ceres was the mother of Persephone was abducted by Pluto, later to marry him, only to appear above ground in Spring and Summer and locked in the Underground in Autumn and Winter, having caused an enormous grief for Ceres, the mother who suffered just as much.

In the psycho-dynamics, the overall feeling of sadness or detachment might prevail during the Eclipse, reminding each and every one of us about the possible losses and issues of the heart for all the heartbreaks, sufferings and isolation that has to be overcome. Just like the shift of seasons, there comes the shift in consciousness that must bring hope and acceptance of the life cycles for all the ups and downs in one’s own personal life. Leo, being the sign of the heart, puts emphasis to the central Chakra of the body, energizing the heart that has to shine its own glory or else becomes tied up in grief. Mind you, there might be a moment of truth of the heart along with the North Node that answers the question of the very reason of its sufferings that lies in the root of one’s own self-improvement. At least, you might realize what it takes for you to be truly happy. The heightened sensitivity of this female principle might empower the forgiveness, understanding and compassion  as well as one’s own personal responsibility for whatever has caused your heart’s grievance. The challenge would be to find the ways to settle the matter by providing various ideas or thoughts on possible resolution as well as the unconditional love of this sacred feminine principle ennobling the spirit of mankind.  It is of the utmost importance to grasp one’s own essential needs, interests and heart desires and integrate them into awareness on the burning issue.

Another important issue of this Eclipse would be the question of one’s own identity and all the relevant individual idiosyncrasies regarding the most intimate personal self-awareness and Ego identification in the light of one’s own centre of gravity. It might be the time to ask youself the crucial question of who you really are and what you have got to offer to the world  for the sake of building a healthy ego in the function of your complete personality. The self-awareness on your essential identity represents the basis of all of your personal reations and results in personal attitude in the times to come. Naturally it will be expressed through your natural style that is being re-examined in the times such as these when the Eclipse in Leo conjoins with North Node. It is like you essentially make self- affirmation all over again just to make sure you make peogress and build up your own personality in the light of preservation of your true identity.

What you can do for yourself is to realize there is a spiritual reward for the realistic comprehension for learning the lesson of Self-Love for all the Self-Worth you have to attribute yourself as well as the lesson of Self-Respect for all the empowered dignity of Leo, being altogether the only way to be truly happy and loved and respected from the world. Of course, for everything less than that – Time’s Up.

“It just depends on how close to ground level you are” – would be the motivational message of this 2.5-year transit that might actualize the reality of your position on a worldly scale whereupon everyone will be called upon to integrate within a system that undergoes the test of its sustainability. Now more than ever, everybody might be challenged to incorporate all the personal convictions, personal attitude, the long-term perspective, professional goals as well as personal and professional karma into the system of the particular mind-set everybody is called upon to establish. In the words of William Blake “I must create a system or be enslaved by another man’s”. That would most certainly be the challenge of the years to come within the big picture of already existing cultural, social, educational, political systems that will stand the test trial of time for the sake of their own sustainability and functionality. This kind of restructuring and so called “paying the karma dues” of all the systems there are should result in purification of experience and establishment of solid base for the years to come. Essentially, the most important issue in this period would be the question of all the systems being rooted in the reality of 21^st Century or not, that would most certainly clarify and sustain only the most progressive ones, or at least those most productive ones.

Saturn represents the system and this notion refers to the system of thinking in the first place and then to the social conventions and the structure of the society as well as culture, politics, education, moral codes etc. It would be the challenge to incorporate one’s own ambitions and personal convictions into the global scheme of the establishment of modern thought and contemporary tendencies. Governments, political establishments and social phenomena all undergo the karmic cross-examination for the sake of preservation and more importantly improvement in accordance with contemporary concepts of 21^st Century. The system of thinking requires adjustments to new conditions whereupon the restructuring and purification of karma considers improvements on the global scale for the sake of social protection, progress, spiritual and material well-being as well as the salvation from materialistic conformation and grinding inertia of the modern matrix.

It is only a matter of tuning-in to the frequency of reality of the world we live in today whereupon all the dreams, all the cults, all idiosyncrasies of modern man are being subjected to demands of the consuming markets fed up with everything that has already been invented or placed on the usage of masses. Saturn in Capricorn might shake up all the systems by filtering and purification of all the establishments that meet the criteria of social responsibility, professionalism, cultural imperatives, spiritual well-being, environmental, gender, racial and health issues for the sake of gaining the substantial income.

Saturn might as well re-examine the system of rules in compliance with the demand of 21^st Century with the emphasis on the traditionally established set of principles that represent the structure, the architecture of the modern way of life by undergoing the test of applicability to the social conditions and profitability of all individual enterprise. The emphasis would be on the work ethics and professional responsibility along with the upcoming Chinese Year of the Dog that will raise awareness on the issues of work conditions, importance of hard work and all the efforts that overshadow the talent or opportunistic manageability along the way. Saturn will put the responsibility in one’s own hands depending on the amount of hard work being invested into the prosperity and success. The sense of duty and personal engagement with respect to all the rules Saturn implies to as the most important for sustainability of the system require obedience, hard work, professionalism and proficiency for the sake of gaining the income.

Professionally, this transit might coincide with the accomplishments of all those who have invested long-term efforts into professional goals that stand the chance of reaching success and gaining income in the following 2.5 years. This transit might represent the crown of the career for all those who have played their cards right with respect to all the rules there are and who have invested long-term efforts, sacrifice and dedication for the sake of getting the chance of a lifetime. It would be the best possible transit for trained professionals who can reach the next level of modus operandi, preferably the top performance one, whereupon they are getting close to the paramount of the career. Basically, the Saturn’s transit through Capricorn would be the good news and the reward for all those individual professionals who have been asking the same question – When will my hard work and professional improvement finally pay off? The answer would be in the following 2.5 years preferably if you have got at least 10 years of training before you.

Psychologically, Saturn raises awareness on personal responsibility and this transit through Capricorn will conceptualize the personal ambitions as well as work ethics for the sake of understanding the fact that personal income and material well-being is essentially a matter of reciprocal personal investment of hard-work, the sense of duty, work ethics, education, personal training and ambitions that represent the base of accomplishment of the life-time goal. In case you haven’t set up a lifetime goal or a personal or professional ambition, now would be the time to do so. Anyhow, it would be the time to think clearly, strictly, professionally, responsibly, soberly about one’s own professional orientation, work contribution, work conditions, personal ambitions, professional accomplishments and lifetime goals. Saturn will most certainly tackle a professional in each and every one of us for the sake of raising awareness on personal contribution to the contemporary world and in the following 2.5 years the lesson would be for everyone to figure out the personal contribution on a worldly scale regarding the professional orientation and personal accomplishments as well as professional productivity and generally the profitability of one’s own career. It would be the time to become business-oriented and to think through the ways of realizing the profit eventually after years of invested efforts and fair play.

Saturn will pass through the 10^th house of natural zodiac and it might awaken the realistic outlook on one’s own accomplishments, personal goals, professional ambitions as well as general contribution. Regardless of one’s own dreams, now would be the time to grasp one’s own limits, to define the criteria, build the standards and establish the frame to move within professional and personal life goals so that it would demand to think about the big picture and long-term success with the emphasis on raising awareness on the fact that it takes 10-15 years of training in order to get the chance to win big. The slow and steady pace of Saturn might prove to be fruitful for those already vibrating on the frequency of reality of 21^st Century and it might bring a sort of down-to-Earth flavor to those who were mesmerized about one’s own profession or a career. Obeying the simple principles – professional orientation – hard work – playing by the rules-ultimate life goal and building up a career out of it might prove to be a reward or a lesson for every single individual in the following couple of years, depending on a personal inclination.

Mind you, it takes to be a fair player to be an ultimate winner to reach the top and stay on top, being altogether the lesson of this transit. Whether you embark on a career or you have proven to be a professional, whether you strive for success or you are already successful this transit would call upon maturing on one’s own responsibility for personal and professional lives, bring in the sense of duty, raise awareness on the rules of the game all the way through as well as on all the aspects of professionalism and work ethics to that extent that the lesson would be for each and every one of us to become a Pro not just at work but as the lifestyle.

The karma cycle will shake up the system regarding all those issues and Saturn will depict the cross-examination on a worldly scale as well as through introspection and self-improvement, being an urge of contemporary world that still has the perfection as the criteria and whereupon raised awareness on free will and the responsibility of one’s own choices and personal actions results in necessity of putting great efforts in accomplishing life goals. For all those establishments that have proven to be progressive and productive this transit might bring success and top notch opportunities, however for all the rest Saturn in Capricorn will bring the Test Trial that might end up in shaking up the system for the sake of creating a better world. At least, that would be the challenge and the lesson. Saturn in Capricorn got to be real.

Within the psycho-dynamics there is an underlying anxiety rooted in existential fear that might be an overwhelming emotion throughout this period, however it should be comprehended exclusively as the symptom of some unresolved issues that require facing the shadow, personal weaknesses as well as a little bit of self-improvement. Namely, Pluto transit through Capricorn has tackled some key issues of the subconscious such as deep rooted complexes, fixations, prejudice etc., since the overall behavior of people tends to be rather symptomatic regarding those little key points in behavior that require attention and self-improvement and now along with Saturn transit it becomes even more drastic putting the fear, anxiety, weaknesses into the spotlight that demand the immediate dealing with i.e. facing one’s own shadow.

It would be of the extreme importance to rationalize one’s own existential fears as the tip of the iceberg of those deep rooted fears of the past that are actually shaking up the system of consciousness. Mind you, by means of some kind of a therapy or a spiritual technique it would be helpful to deal with childhood memories or some past events that has brought up some issues of the psycho-dynamics necessary to deal with since they act like a sort of concentric circles in the psyche from the depths of the unconscious often expressed in dreams that now gather the experience and interpret all the life phenomena in the language individual and authentic as a fingerprint. That is the unique language that all of us can interpret for ourselves the best if not with a professional assistance.  Anyhow, those traumatic issues of the past would come up to the surface during this time and demand facing with all the weaknesses that are basically shaking up the system.

It would be of the utmost importance to summon up and gather resources of Jupiter in Scorpio that is now empowering the regenerative energy of the psyche and by all means of faith to find the way out of one’s own entanglements. Saturn in Capricorn might just point to those issues that every single individual will have to improve for the sake of accomplishing harmony and peace among the people. It would be the only way to create a healthy society in the first place.  What would be the lesson of this transit is the preferably realistic overview of one’s own life and personal affairs for the sake of comprehension of one’s own realistic position in the world. Regardless of wishful thinking, emotional inclination or lulling in the comfort zone, generally everybody is about get disillusioned and awakened thus faced with reality of one’s own life.

Whether it is going to be difficult or not it would depend on the personal inclination to the truth and “ground level” Saturn will be drawing us onto by shaking up the system.

The sign of Scorpio rules the overall psychological energy being established as a concept of libido and it represents the depths of the psyche where all the baseline truths are emanating from if you care to do some essential thinking up to a point of cutting a diamond in the rough. It requires a lot of thinking through to reach  the essence of truth of life, your family or business affairs as well as of the mysteries of the world. The only way to reach the top. Grasping the essentials is a challenge everybody has to face sooner or later for the benefit of one’s own spiritual and physical health. Essentially, the realms of Scorpio represent the energy of health, libido, psychological power, financial potential and resources on the individual disposal that you can operate with. The 8^th house of Scorpio is the basic potential of one’s own energetic power that has been exposed to extensive draining during the times of Saturn in Scorpio due to some personal entanglements that you have had in your life. Well, consider it an investment for the sake of an upcoming revival, recharge, pay-off.

Scorpios are natural businessmen so make sure your investments have brought you a reward that you have worked for all these years. With Jupiter coming along, it is the time to clear up the area, resolve the burning issues, untie the entanglements in your lives and grasp the essence of your situation in the light of ongoing cross-examination on a world scale. Karma works its way, however now is the time to shed a light on the essence of your life, the time for revelation of one’s own motives, purification from various influences leaving you with what you have had in the first place or with who you essentially are.

Purification and how does it work. It is all a matter of the mind-set and picking up the pieces of your current situation by establishing the facts in the light of your own individuality along with the built-up attitude, knowledge and experience. Scorpionic way of thinking is exact, precise and essential representing the sole very truth with no compromises whatsoever.

Scorpios are famous for unveiling the truth from all the masks and colorful lies aiming right through the center of the point.

Scorpios know the truth. This Jupiter might inspire you to make essential overviews in your life from the perspective of your own motives, professionalism and natural cravings. The nature of your natural cravings is something that you have to face with from the perspective of usefulness, beneficence and wisdom. In some particular way your natural cravings might even turn out to be your saving grace. This time around your instincts are getting wise and the power of your instinctive nature saves you from further complications. It seems like God has taken over the impulses of nature for the sake of warnings unassumingly but also for the sake of salvation.

The right mind-set that builds up your own individuality with the psychological, introspective outlook on your recent past i.e. the 12 year cycle will provide the answers to your burning questions. Scorpios are natural detectives, psychologists and explorers so this forthcoming year ahead you might be challenged to seek and find the patterns of your own overall behavior with special outlook on the subconscious motives and impulses that are conditioning your conscious mind unless you purify the shadow and really understand yourself completely. That exactly might even endow you with a diamond of truth. It is the only way to free your mind and liberate from entanglements that you are currently overwhelmed with i.e. work it out by intensive essential thinking until you reach the top of your game. Jupiter is there to guide you to gain wisdom however the basic condition in order to do that is Faith.

For that particular matter it is of the utmost importance to appreciate quality and build up real values to guide you in your life as well as choosing the right path by choosing a side in the black and white paradigm. Jupiter represents consciousness and it provides special insights into the realms of truth from various angles, however this time around by transiting Scorpio it might provide the special scope on the essence of your life, society and the world.

In order to have a healthy world it is of the utmost importance to have a healthy individual and therefore the key issue is the issue of self-improvement and building up your own individuality regardless of the influences or circumstances. It is of the utmost importance to be your own man and to react and behave from your own very individuality. For that matter it is of the utmost importance to know who you really are and to individuate in accordance with your own inner truth. Be your own true self.

It takes individual effort, education, information, professional improvement in order to work out the best way to accomplish your own dreams. Dreams, you would agree, represent your only reality and you have to be who you are after all. And only you know who you really are.

This Jupiter in Scorpio might inspire you to think it through and ask yourself what really matters in your life, what are the essential qualities that you need and where you want to invest your energy into. The 8^th house of Zodiac is the house of basic potential, libido, energetic metabolism of your life and consequently the financial benefit that you are capable of obtaining. It is the house where your natural health is generally emanating from. Basically, your mind as the pilot in a cabin is defining the very quality of your energy and consequently your health.  Finances are only the natural cause and effect kind of benefit. However, the 8^th house represents the battlefield of your life where various influences collide regarding of circumstances so that in order to purify the psyche from various energies this Jupiter is now putting in effect as a sort of water jet to purify the heart, soul and body only through Faith and working out of the puzzle of your own individuality.

Jupiter might shed a light on your own very true self and help you understand your own reality from the essential point of view.

Jupiter might as well empower you with psychological power enough to do that and strengthen up your own libido as overall psychological potential enough to provide good health and regeneration. Generally, the issue of healing and regeneration, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically has never been so powerful and actual as now. Various psychological techniques, energetic wellness treatments and spirituality with regard to the holistic principle lead to self-improvement by providing essential insights into one’s own health and well-being as well as assistance in building the mind-set for one’s own existential benefit.

Scorpios are naturally in the hands of God and the very nature of Scorpio is to set up various tests in order to realize the very most important facts – the Truth about oneself. With Jupiter in transit, you might gain wisdom on your own tests in your life where you should have shown the principle of your own true self.  Ultimately, God provides the test for us all in the light of everything being said and done for the sake of one’s own individual salvation. All the people on the frequency of Truth might get endowed with special wisdom of Jupiter thus revealing the Essentials.

This time around the full Moon in Pisces occurs exactly within the orbis of Neptune that altogether create the aura of mystery, sophistication and daydreaming.

Since the Moon rules the human instincts, perception, sensitivity, emotion and soul there is a growing tendency of slowing down the pace, tuning into the realm of dreams and comfortable shelter of indulgence and spiritual disposition filled with comprehension of all those subtle nuances of life of the heightened perceptiveness. You might shed a few tears, evoke forgiveness or just awaken the wisdom of your soul that guides you through the valley of shadows. Instinctively, you might want to repose, pause and reflect upon burning issues with the outlook so enriching for your experience that you might realize the importance of your own dreams within the frame of the big picture – literally and metaphorically.

It might also induce some pleasures such as indulgence in music, food, beverage, alcohol, even drug abuse or even excessive medication. It might be a good time for spa treatment, swimming, body massage, some kind of aroma therapy, some kind of healing therapies such as Theta Healing or Reconnection. It might be a great day to purchase a new perfume, buy cosmetics, go to the hairdresser or do the manicure.

What’s prevailing on this Full Moon is the high-pitched energy in the bosom, the whole lotta soul, ripe as that Moon in the sky that almost carries the weight difficult to incorporate into the ruthless world.

Every Solar Eclipse brings new tendencies, changes of trend and the unique shift in consciousness thus enabling you to reach new decisions and embark upon a new stream of consciousness that should improve you overall state of well being in case you cope with discrepancies of  the heart and the mind, your personal life and your surroundings, your  personal path and your circumstances, Now is the time to re-examine your heart within the frame of your attitude towards life, arouse your dignity, strengthen your self-respect and develop your self-love. Essentially, this Eclipse occurs in the area of the 5^th house of natural Zodiac thus evoking your natural skills of self-expression, self-affirmation and self-evaluation.

Before you reach an important decision this Eclipse might be inspiring you to do, it is important to provide your own passport for life thus enabling yourself to pursue your ambitions and your ultimate aim, after finding the answer to the question of where your heart is really at.

The key word for Leo according to the natural Zodiac is “I will” that dwells within the realm of the personal power. Due to the Grand natural Trine of the Eclipse in Leo with Saturn in Sagittarius in the natural 9^th house and Uranus in the natural 1^st house of Zodiac, this demonstration of personal power should be in compliance with your own conscience and higher comprehension and understanding of your own frame of the game, at the same time enriched with ingenious insights into your own personality vs the world. The chances are that you might prioritize some aspects of your life that is asking you to find courage for. Having Jupiter at the top of Kite Configuration, the ultimate resolution of your personal entanglement seems to be the positive outcome with the spotlight on everything you personally believe in. Have faith, because this time around it will save you!

The Eclipse occurs around the point of traditional fixed star Regulus that represents the “Lion’s Heart” that is now apparently positioned on the zero degree of Virgo, nevertheless enforcing you to set your heart at the goals that are ennobling your spirit, work in accordance with the environmental, health, social, self-improvement and personal development issues of the contemporary world, that basically represent the imperative of the modern world, being in the root of the crisis of traditional ego of Leo. Times are changing and this Eclipse is an opportunity to set those questions to yourselves before determining your goals. In the frame of contemporary development on the world stage, it takes finding the courage and  bravery in your endeavors up to a point of being fearless, it takes professionalizing up to a point of being mistakeless and it takes self-improving up to a point of being flawless.

If it takes to be the best version of yourself in order to create the better world, this Eclipse points to the crucial issue of self-affirmation built up through self-evaluation, the issue of self-respect built up through affirmation of human dignity and the issue of self-love built up through affirmation of one’s own self-awareness of all the qualities, skills, talents as well as autoeroticism.

The true will-power lies in the heart and all the self-confidence emanates out of it in the first place whereupon this Eclipse might be a turning point in taking a stand for what you believe in thus releasing from fears and gaining self-confidence to stand out and empower your self-expression.

5^th house is all about what you can provide for the world as well as your loved ones whereupon this Eclipse might question your recent development for that matter and inspire you to reach new decisions on the directions you are willing to take in compliance with your conscience, education, higher mind and ultimately the purpose. It might also tackle the question of purpose from the essential point of you thus enabling you to attach the necessary meaning to various aspects of your life.

What is being in the spotlight here is the essential self, the heart vs the mind kind of dilemma that has to be resolved through working out the heart’s demands in the frame of the recent mind-set whereupon Uranus in the 1^st house is empowering you to take risks for what you really want and express who you really are regardless of the masks and play-out now being regarded as irrelevant on the same very stage of life where you might feel you are being thrown at to show your own true self in order to get the applause.

Leo is the sign of unconditional love and the 5^th house represents the area of true love as well. In spite of the fixations, ruthless demands of Pluto in the 10^th house of success that require obeying the rules as a condition to reach the top of your game, this very Eclipse might enrich you with the outlook on everybody and everything that you care about and with the feeling of unconditional love. The importance of unconditional love in the contemporary world might be expressed in various forms and might enable you to show the appreciation for everything that you have out of the world as well as your loved ones. 5^th house of true love is the area where this Eclipse is throwing a sort of reminder of what matters the most and the people who are most important in your life. It always the best time to show the unconditional love, exercise forgiveness and raise awareness on true love thus showing appreciation. Nevertheless, this Eclipse might bring about the feeling of true love for people that you have around as well as encounters that might later prove to be so.

However, most importantly, it takes affirmation of the base of your personality through raising awareness on your true blessings within the Sextile of the Eclipse with Jupiter at the top of the Kite configuration that might even draw some blessings in your life through partnerships of some kind as well as public appreciation or fame in the following six months. But first try to reveal for yourself where you heart is really at.

Up to 25^th August, Saturn is seemingly moving retrograde in the sky. Within the scope of celestial influences, you might say that Saturn represents the key planet that imposes limitations upon us, however at the same time it is the one to set us free and liberate us from our own fears, complexes, prejudice, guilt, judgmental thinking etc. that actually represent the burden of karma. The executive force of karma is Saturn itself. Saturn  is the polygon for self-improvement, it depicts our character and the backbone discipline that sooner or later we have to develop within the basic lesson of life that demands obeying the rules after learning to comprehend them. The karma purification takes place in the life of each and every one of us through various contacts, through work, through family, through friendship. But how does it actually work?

The retro mode is the time when life starts flashing upon us, demanding the conscious outlook on our past and dealing with our own deeds from the perspective of wisdom. Sooner or later, we gain wisdom through realization of our own behavior as well as our position on the social scene, however the most important thing on the way is exactly the self-improvement. Life demands of us to constantly improve, become better people, overcome our weaknesses. But first we have to become aware of them.

Life has to be in the state of constant learning, education, spirituality if we want to move forward. Otherwise we stagnate and nothing is actually going to change until we decide to change things for ourselves, to change our lives. There are three questions that life constantly sets upon us: who you really are, what you really want and what you are really doing and all the lessons we go through provide the answers to those seemingly simple questions.

To answer the question of who you really are is the long-term process and it requires individuation as the psychological category when by means of introspection we tend to really find out who we are and not who we want to be. Dreams play an extremely important part of the process since one’s own dreams represent one’s own reality of the soul in a way that the soul already knows, however it takes a long way to realize the basic potential of the soul and become who you have always known you are.

We were all born with the shadow part of the personality that represents the unconscious. On the way to realization of one’s own personality and finding out our true identity we have to become aware of our own unconsciousness. There are various techniques of doing it such as self-monitoring, psychotherapy, introspection, self-analysis but you would agree that it demands a conscious outlook on one’s own unconscious mind in order to really integrate your shadow into your life, purify it and synchronize it with your conscious mind and ego.

If you want to know the world, start from yourself and you will see that there is a vast area to discover when you liberate from fear, prejudice of your environment, parental images and projections, expectations of your family, friends, co-workers, people around you. You really start to individuate when you face your own true self for who you really are and start improving in order to become the best version of yourself. It is of the extreme importance to have an open mind and free soul enough to face your fears, think through the imposed prejudice, avoid being judgmental towards people as well as towards your own self.

On the other side of fear is love and the best you can do is to have the unconditional love for everybody, however mostly for yourself that will bring up dignity and self-respect in you enough to have the backbone discipline. It is the lesson of Saturn to build up a personality and only through the constant self-improvement you can really answer the question of your own true identity, when you have overcome your weaknesses and raised awareness of your shadow that you have successfully incorporated into your conscious mind. It is then when you actually become aware of your own true identity.

Then comes the question of what you actually want in life. The awareness of one’s own motivation is the key issue and what you have to do on your way is disperse all the illusions, imposed ambitions, expectations of the people around you and dig into your own true motives and life goals. When you successfully realize who you are, you will be able to comprehend your own true motives and set up a variety of life goals that will lead to the ultimate aim.

This question considers the issue of purpose and it is exactly in the description of Saturn’s influence. What is actually the purpose of your life? Then on, you might get close of realizing what it is that you really want out of life. Success is a relative category and successful is every man that has fulfilled one’s own purpose and found the true meaning of one’s own life. Times have changed and the transition of the fixed star Regulus seemingly into the sign of Virgo demands overcoming ego and the transition into a new awareness of the world, environment, social issues, self-improvement and personal and professional development. All this leads to the possibility of creating choices in order to become fully capable of choosing the right profession as well as the right partner.

After you have answered the question of who you really are, you are on a good way of realizing what you want to accomplish. This world would be a much better place if everybody were just being themselves. When you realize your basic potential and feel the urge of doing something higher than your ego, you will get close of finding the answer of what you really want in life. Retro Saturn is there to remind you that you have to rewind your game enough to answer this question or at least re-examine your past behavior in the light of what you have done in your past regarding your own true life goal. If you haven’t defined it yet, retro Saturn would be the great time to cope with this and find answers by defining your ambitions. You have to pay the price of course for everything that you have done, however those are the lessons that you have to deal with in order to move on with your life.

All this leads to the question of what you are really doing and that is the most important karma issue of Saturn. The reality of your situation. In regard with who you are and what you want, what in Heaven’s name you are doing. Retro Saturn will demand a conscious outlook on your past actions and thinking about your current state of affairs from the perspective of reality. The reality check. What you can ask yourself is whether you have all the information, whether you are in the right frame of mind, whether you are being true to yourself, to people around you, whether you have realized your situation, whether you are being realistic about yourself.

Saturn will examine not only your conscious behavior but subconscious as well in order that you realize you own position because very often happens that subconscious behavior is contradictory with conscious and that we embark on problems in life or in business due to that discrepancy. Only by purifying your shadow, thinking about your own true motivation and analysis of your overall personality  through the prism of social interactions you get the clear picture on what you are really doing.

You would agree, only by being completely aware of yourself as a fact from realistic and essential point of view, you are being capable of controlling your own life and the outcome of your endeavors. When you accomplish your personal integration and individuate enough to answer those 3 seemingly simple questions to bring you harmony with the world, you become eligible to be successful and win in the arena of life. Bear in mind that “your thoughts become your actions, your actions your habits and your habits become your destiny.”

One way or another what you stand the chance of doing right now is to CONVERSE!
