Look\u00ading at the world today, and con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading what we have come through in the past few years, one could hard\u00adly find a more fit\u00adting title for this recent peri\u00adod than it being, on so many lev\u00adels, from the most inti\u00admate mat\u00adters of per\u00adson\u00adal and sex\u00adu\u00adal con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions, to the most nation\u00adal, polit\u00adi\u00adcal and geo-polit\u00adi\u00adcal realms, this has tru\u00adly been a time where we have wit\u00adnessed <strong>\u201cThe<\/strong> <strong>Test of Truth\u201d<\/strong>. The very def\u00adi\u00adn\u00adi\u00adtion of what is know\u00adable, what is fact or fic\u00adtion (like in \u201calter\u00adna\u00adtive facts\u201d), of what is \u201ctru\u00adly true\u201d has been the under\u00adly\u00ading as well as over\u00adar\u00adch\u00ading theme for our time. It cer\u00adtain\u00adly seems we have all been mov\u00ading through a time of great lessons, a tru\u00adly \u201cteach\u00ading moment\u201d. But now we must take our next&nbsp;step\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Today we turn to the next oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty, chal\u00adlenge and test from Sat\u00adurn, today the lord of Man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtion and Real\u00adi\u00adty moves into his very own sign of Capri\u00adcorn. (The most recent times for Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn have been: 1988\u201391, 1959\u201362, 1929\u201332\u2026most inter\u00adest\u00ading times indeed).<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00adurn is the Avatar of your fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal test or great\u00adest chal\u00adlenge. But most won\u00adder\u00adful\u00adly, (for this is how you grow), it is by this chal\u00adlenge and your over\u00adcom\u00ading of it that forms the sub\u00adstance of your spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal growth. As much as Sat\u00adurn indi\u00adcates where you may stum\u00adble and fall (again and again), it is also the lumi\u00adnous bea\u00adcon of your truest spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal strength; Sat\u00adurn, the Teacher, is here to bring forth or elic\u00adit your great\u00adest gift of spirit.<\/p>\n<p>For it is by your very stum\u00adbling into error or fail\u00adures that you learn. You learn, most cer\u00adtain\u00adly what \u201cnot to do\u201d; and by tri\u00adal and error, by wit and will, through love and inspi\u00adra\u00adtion, you learn to do bet\u00adter and be bet\u00adter. Yes, your very fail\u00adures are the cru\u00adcible to your self-over\u00adcom\u00ading; you lift your\u00adself and one anoth\u00ader up as you bur\u00adnish off the dross of your being to reveal the divine light shin\u00ading through and through.<\/p>\n<p>We can look at Sat\u00adurn as the teacher or what I would call \u201cThe Black\u00adsmith\u201d, like in steel-mak\u00ading, \u201cThe Tem\u00adper\u00ader\u201d of your soul, of your Pur\u00adpose and \u201cThe Keep\u00ader\u201d of your Path of Self-Fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>Con\u00adsid\u00ader this: on all the planes of exis\u00adtence, from the Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal to the Men\u00adtal, from the Emo\u00adtion\u00adal to the Phys\u00adi\u00adcal, the \u201cLaws of Life\u201d oper\u00adate in much the same fash\u00adion. And so, with Sat\u00adurn, the teacher, we can see these par\u00adal\u00adlels on each plane as it is on the phys\u00adi\u00adcal: The devel\u00adop\u00adment of our bones and mus\u00adcles are elicit\u00aded and stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded by our exer\u00adtions and phys\u00adi\u00adcal strain\u00ading, where\u00adin the micro tear\u00ading of our mus\u00adcles and oth\u00ader fibers leads to their very renewal\/rebuilding of our bod\u00adies into ever stronger forms. We tem\u00adper our bod\u00adies by push\u00ading hard\u00ader, we grow by tear\u00ading down and rebuild\u00ading. As the adage goes, \u201cyou use it or lose&nbsp;it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this same prin\u00adci\u00adple applies to the oth\u00ader planes upon which you abide. Your emo\u00adtion\u00adal shocks and trau\u00admas, lead to the devel\u00adop\u00adment of our greater capac\u00adi\u00adty to han\u00addle these chal\u00adlenges in the future. And, most won\u00adder\u00adful\u00adly, these very real pains and suf\u00adfer\u00adings stim\u00adu\u00adlate the growth of those spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal feel\u00adings that make you tru\u00adly human, your capac\u00adi\u00adty for com\u00adpas\u00adsion, empa\u00adthy and per\u00adson\u00adal love as&nbsp;well.<\/p>\n<p>The chal\u00adlenges thrown down by Intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion, lead to the very devel\u00adop\u00adment of more com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive and com\u00adplex con\u00adnec\u00adtions with\u00adin your mind and between one anoth\u00ader. Through men\u00adtal striv\u00adings and intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion, we help one anoth\u00ader to move beyond our more lim\u00adit\u00aded or nar\u00adrow under\u00adstand\u00adings; we make pos\u00adsi\u00adble for one anoth\u00ader our jour\u00adney to the Greater Understanding.<\/p>\n<p>And like\u00adwise, the man\u00adi\u00adfold and many-lay\u00adered spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal chal\u00adlenges you are brought to, the ago\u00adnies and ecstasies of your spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal strug\u00adgles and their even\u00adtu\u00adal over-com\u00ading, these are the \u201cSpir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Smithies\u201d that devel\u00adop your high\u00adest and finest attrib\u00adut\u00ades of self-sac\u00adri\u00adfice and uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal love for one another.<\/p>\n<p>All of these realms, from the phys\u00adi\u00adcal on up to the Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal, and all of these tests and result\u00ading growths, can be seen as whol\u00adly or in part brought to bear in our lives by the move\u00adment of Sat\u00adurn, mov\u00ading from Sign to Sign, and through the hous\u00ades of your astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal chart. Sat\u00adurn is the instru\u00adment of mak\u00ading real your poten\u00adtials, of mak\u00ading man\u00adi\u00adfest your Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Destiny.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is our Teacher ask\u00ading of us&nbsp;now?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where\u00adas a plan\u00adet in a Muta\u00adble Sign (like Gem\u00adi\u00adni or Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius) has much to do with mean\u00ading or under\u00adstand\u00ading, the Car\u00addi\u00adnal Signs like Can\u00adcer or here with Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn, are about Iden\u00adti\u00adty and Action. The ques\u00adtion or test of Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn is the Test of Posi\u00adtion, the Test of Social Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. It reveals the worth\u00adwhile\u00adness of the Hier\u00adar\u00adchies of any soci\u00adety and cul\u00adture, the via\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty and strength of a civilization\u2019s Insti\u00adtu\u00adtions whether they be of the fam\u00adi\u00adly or com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty, Civ\u00adil or Cor\u00adpo\u00adrate, local or national.<\/p>\n<p>Giv\u00aden that we are also in this greater his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal tran\u00adsi\u00adtion, of Pluto\u2019s tran\u00adsit through Capri\u00adcorn as well, (from 2008 to 2024, we are try\u00ading to find our way as the very sub\u00adstance of the world order that came into being in the late 1700\u2019s is being bro\u00adken down and trans\u00adformed. And, as I have men\u00adtioned in numer\u00adous shows and blog post\u00adings, we are here to wit\u00adness this end of an age and, most cer\u00adtain\u00adly now, to help one anoth\u00ader birth and become The New Age), it would fol\u00adlow that Sat\u00adurn mov\u00ading into Capri\u00adcorn will bring about an inten\u00adsi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion of this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn her\u00adalds a time of Reck\u00adon\u00ading: You must be true to your\u00adself and to one anoth\u00ader; you must be your truth and so rebuild your&nbsp;world.<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn asks you to do one thing: Be Respon\u00adsi\u00adble. Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty is found\u00aded upon one thing, a right align\u00adment with your true self, with the Light of Love that guides your&nbsp;heart.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know how you should be, and where you should go, you will learn much by look\u00ading back at from whence you came. Fol\u00adlow\u00ading that very prin\u00adci\u00adple or rea\u00adson, oppo\u00adsite Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Signs inform one anoth\u00ader. In Can\u00adcer you find your way to meet the needs of one anoth\u00ader in spon\u00adta\u00adneous car\u00ading: As a par\u00adent, you move with\u00adout thought to meet the needs of your child, as a friend you share and shape one another\u2019s dreams, and with your part\u00adner you find your way to uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal love for one another.<\/p>\n<p>But Capri\u00adcorn calls you to ful\u00adfill the promise of Can\u00adcer, that you take what was spon\u00adta\u00adneous and pure and fold it into some\u00adthing that will last. You take what was felt as pure and true and embody these ener\u00adgy-forms into last\u00ading struc\u00adtures of Cus\u00adtoms, Tra\u00addi\u00adtions, Laws and Insti\u00adtu\u00adtions. You are called by Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn to be respon\u00adsi\u00adble to your larg\u00ader social circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00adurn rules Real\u00adi\u00adty; Sat\u00adurn is also the dark one, reveal\u00ading your \u201cshad\u00adows of fear\u201d. The insti\u00adtu\u00adtions of this age are trem\u00adbling, crack\u00ading and seem\u00ading\u00adly fail\u00ading you\u2026But know this, they were made by our ances\u00adtors and by every one of us. If we wish our vil\u00adlage, town, state and nation to be these larg\u00ader instru\u00adments of our self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment, then we must remem\u00adber what these things are for, to bring them back to their essen\u00adtial spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal foun\u00adda\u00adtions. And then we must be that change with\u00adin our\u00adselves, with\u00adin our own hearts and minds we will make our sal\u00adva\u00adtion, if we are to restore and rebuild our&nbsp;world.<\/p>\n<p>The fault lies not in our things that we have made; and the fault lies not \u201cin our stars\u201d.
