A. Moving
away from your Moon–Saturn lines is
a delightful idea. Get out from under the
oppression, and live a little! You needn’t
worry that you’ll forget the hard-learned
Moon–Saturn lessons; the wisdom you
earn through the trials of Saturn stays with
you for life, and the prominence of Moon–Saturn
in your natal chart remains strong wherever
you go.
It’s not surprising that you’ve
struggled with your formidable Moon–Saturn
conjunction throughout much of your life.
Its proximity to your South Node heightens
its significance in terms of personal growth
and challenges. Moon–Saturn in Virgo
does demand that you focus on what’s important
and stay on track, while at the same time not losing
sight of the bigger picture (9th house). This is
made more challenging by the close Moon–Mars
square, which can create inner turmoil that must
be managed, perhaps through a regular practice such
as meditation. Mars opposite Uranus underlines the
need to control the agitation to keep your energy
well focused and more mellow.
Now, in your
50s, you’ve had plenty of opportunity
to develop the wisdom that your Moon–Saturn
conjunction promises — wisdom that
develops through trial and error over many
years. You’ve learned Saturn’s
lessons, and you are even grateful for them.
Your next lesson is about moving on.
I encourage you to lighten up and get on
your way. Saturnine types such as yourself
are often serious as children and then learn
how to have fun in their later years. Since
your own experience confirms that life’s a little brighter away from Saturn’s
shadow, trust your perceptions and move somewhere
that offers more.
The timing is certainly right. Your progressed
Sun opposes natal Uranus this year, you’re
approaching the Last Quarter square of your
progressed lunation cycle, and the progressed
Moon is making her way toward your Midheaven,1 — all
saying, “Leave
the past behind.” Allow transiting Neptune’s
square to natal Mercury to enliven your imagination
about the new life you’re about to create.
This year’s supportive transits of Saturn
and Jupiter will enable you to successfully complete
this transition.2
Within the United States, I’d recommend
moving anywhere in the eastern part of the
country that’s
within one quarter inch of your Venus/Sun/Mercury
Midheaven lines on your Astro*Carto*Graphy
map and no farther than a quarter inch from
the Uranus/ Descendant line.3 That gives
you numerous places to choose from. Anywhere
near those supportive lines (the closer the better),
your contributions will be recognized, you’ll
shine in the community, and you’ll feel
that your ideas are understood and appreciated.
Your leadership capabilities will come forth,
and you should feel be comfortable in the role
of a leader. Living near these planetary lines
would be very different from your Saturn–Moon
experience and would support having a zestful
and connected social life. Please, ask yourself, “What
am I waiting for?” and then call the moving
company!
