Have you ever wondered why others are way ahead of you or seem to be doing better than you when it comes to any of the following?
- being healthy, having a body of your desire
- profession, career, social standing
- romantic and business relationships
- home, family, settling down, parents
- finances, self-esteem, developing your strengths and talents
- self-identity, self-expression, having kids, creativity, all things fun
- friends and social groups, your hopes and dreams
- communication, thinking, networking
- education, beliefs, spirituality
- recovering from an illness, effective daily (work) routine
- your partner's finances, emotional intimacy
I don't know about you. But I feel that my school and university peers are way ahead of me in many of the above areas (FYI- in eight areas). And no, I am not putting myself down or being too hard on myself.
Call it fate, destiny or whatever you want. Wherever the planet Saturn makes a contact in our natal chart is the area of life where progress may be delayed. Look for:
- the house containing Saturn
- the houses ruled or co-ruled by Saturn i.e. the house with Capricorn and Aquarius on the cusp
- the planets aspected by Saturn and the houses ruled or co-ruled by these planets
The delay could be due to a variety of reasons: fear, insecurity, limits imposed by self, family, society or events that are beyond our control, etc. Usually time is the antidote. That is assuming that with time comes experience, maturity, patience, skill, discipline, hard work, all of which lead to accomplishment. And that is the treasure of Saturn, to be accomplished and masters of something.
I know we didn't choose this slow and tough life. Actually, we didn't choose a lot of things too (unless you are from the karma school of thought) - our nationality, gender, the colour of our skin, eyes, sexual orientation, the freak accidents that happen to us, and many other things.
But you know what? We can choose our attitude to it. Hang on my tortortise friend. It gets better with time. It gets better.
