Saturn Square Chiron – Finding a Solution to Deep Seated Problems

Saturn square Chiron – Finding a solution to deep seated problems
We are approaching the final connection in a series of three as Saturn in Sagittarius moves forward to form a square aspect with Chiron in Pisces, the planet of restriction, loss and hard lessons learned making a tension riddled and difficult square to Chiron,the planet of wounds and subsequent healing. Just from those two descriptions you can probably see the effects of this square coming into being on November 2nd 2017. The previous exact hits were over the Christmas holidays last year on 28th December and there was a second link up on 30th April at 27.19 degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. This one is exact at 24.27 degrees of the same signs.
Think back to what was happening at those same times and there is a possibility that the events of then and now may be in some way connected. In effect, Saturn here is waking us up to problems that may have been affecting us for a long time now, wounds and situations that have been hurting us, maybe nagging problems of our own making or ones that we have been dragged on for a while. Now these planets are asking us to take them seriously. There is a slow process of acceptance that we are going through, and some of the the real effects may have already shown themselves at the end of last year. Now we are coming to the resolution point in a journey to rid ourselves of some long-standing issues, and the pain inside you may be quite palpable as Saturn makes us face up to reality, and the reality may be initially very hard to cope with. When you are faced by any problem in life you initially have to think and reflect about the best course of action, react to it by making a plan to make the best of the situation facing you, and then start to act upon it to make your position better and to improve things. In the few weeks if you haven't already seen the effects, no doubt you will do.

Saturn is giving us no choice in the matter here and we are all going to feel rather uncomfortable. The way to get out of the situation will be to take matters squarely on the chin, accept that we have difficulties and resolve to make the best of them by adapting our behaviour. I say adapting as both these planets are in mutable signs, so whatever the situation we find ourselves in, we will need us to be flexible and to realise that the rules are changing, we are in a fluid situation that will need us to change direction and get used to new people or situations, and deal with matters in a state of constant flux. You may find as if you are sinking into quicksand, or trying to walk the wrong way along a moving walkway. Struggling against the flow of things will not help us get through this annoying aspect, and putting up a brick wall and trying to deflect the blame or to bat away the difficulties we face is not going to cut it now either; that will only make things a lot worse than they already are. If you are open and adaptable as a person, you will cope with this square much better than if you are more fixed in nature. It's time to go with the flow and make the best of what faces us.

Associated with this aspect and linked in to is will be a Uranus/Venus opposition operating at the same time at 25 degrees Aries/Libra, and this may bring an uncertain element into the mix linked to love, relationships, finances or your values. These are pinch points that you will have to get round, and maybe by updating your attitudes to these areas of life, then you can start to ease the troubles that you are facing via Saturn and Chiron? Expect the ground to shift from under your feet a little and be prepared to move with the times, the expectations and the ideas of others to heal the pain that you are facing.

The houses under question that are causing the emphasis of change and difficulty will be the ones on your chart ruled or affected by Sagittarius and Pisces, so look here to where the ground is shifting and where you will have to change your approach. If you can work with rather than against the general direction, even if it's one that may not be to your initial liking or satisfaction, then you have a chance of turning things around and getting out of this particularly harsh aspect relatively unscathed.
