The Hand of Time is ready to start ticking again as Saturn is stationing ready to go Direct this Sunday July 20.
We let you know last week that in the days surrounding this event, world events that feel like fate would erupt in our world.
Saturn Direct is more important than it usually is because it follows the very powerful Cardinal Grand Cross that happened during Spring Eclipse Season 2014.
Hand Of Time Saturn goes Direct and we all enter a very important new chapter or season of our lives on Planet Earth.
Two very important events that affect lives all over the Earth happened as Saturn was about to go Direct: A Malaysian passenger plane was shot down late this last week over Ukraine; and Israel seriously intensified its war with Hamas and the Palestinians by pushing its ground forces into Gaza.
Already a few hundred Palestinians have been killed (mostly civilians) by air bombings over Gaza. Hamas and other groups have also been sending rockets into Israel, but only killing one Israeli in the process. The carnage in Gaza is horrendous.
Going back into the Eclipse Season as the Cardinal Cross was formed, the top world news stories then were: A Malaysian airliner disappeared, which has still not been found; Ukraine blew up as it began to split between western interests and Russian interests.; John Kerry made a concerted effort to bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians; the Islamic State made great advances in Syria and Iraq.
Now as Saturn goes Direct and the Hand of Time begins to move forward, two very important and seemingly fated events happen that are very connected to those world events and the Cardinal Grand Cross.
Most strangely that the incredible disappearance of the Malaysian plane in the Spring, now becomes a shot down Malaysian plane over Ukraine, bringing those two events from Spring Eclipse Season together in a strange way.
When we also add the Isis takeover of Iraq, which happened while the Cross was still in effect, with the events in Ukraine and Israel/Palestine; we see themes that are forming which are aligned with the transition between Ages.
As we let you know in previous writings, Chaos versus Order will be a pervading theme during this transition, as borders and rules of the Old World are breaking down and forceful attempts to keep the old security systems are countering that movement.
Interestingly, as Saturn has been stationing to go Direct on July 20, at the same time Uranus has been stationing to go retrograde and will turn Retrograde on July 21. Planets that station to change directions, whether to Direct or Retrograde, have their energy permeating the frequencies of our consciousness and world.
Saturn is security and control; Uranus is breaking out of stuck forms and often bringing chaos as a result. Not only are those two planets both changing directions at the same time; they also are making aspect to one another. They are making a quincunx or 150 degree aspect to one another. Saturn is going Direct at 16+ degrees of Scorpio while Uranus is going Retrograde at 16+ degrees of Aries.
As the turf in the Middle East is being transformed, the lives of many peoples all over the world are affected because so many countries are invested in the resources and power structures there.
In Ukraine, NATO nations have been trying to be the main influence there, which used to be a part of the Soviet Union and has many residents with Russian heritage. So Russia has also been fighting for influence. The flight that was shot down over Ukraine has passengers from all over the world.
So you can see that these events are affecting peoples all over the world. It is likely that the “fated” events this past week are the catalysts for great change in the Middle East and Ukraine. And like dominoes falling, the whole world will be transformed as a result.
Keep in mind that besides the Middle East events in Iraq/Syria with Isis and the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the talks to change the nuclear program of Iran met a deadline with no results on July 20, the day of Saturn going Direct. Subsequently, they have extended that deadline 4 more months
The power of change is enormous now and will continue to be so. Later this week Mars will leave diplomatic and peace seeking Libra for intense, passionate and focused Scorpio this Friday July 25.
And the next day on Saturday July 26 there will be New Moon in Leo conjunct Jupiter and square that Mars in Scorpio.
This will be the final sign of our movement into a New Chapter of our lives, and it may be a most intense passage.
As we collectively move into a New Chapter/Season of our human lives on Planet Earth on the way to the Age of Aquarius in the 2020’s, so also do each of us in our personal lives.
If you have been procrastinating and reluctant to choose or make decision or pick a direction to move toward, there is a major turning point now begging you to choose and move forward.
The train of our lives will be taking off without us if we are not ready, and may as a result push us to where or what we may not want. So please stay present and aware and do not avoid or be distracted.
All of the shakeups you may have been experiencing this year, in conjunction with Spring Eclipse Season and the Cardinal Grand Cross, were done so you would shift your consciousness and life into this New Chapter.
Uranus and Saturn changing directions this week will bring a need to balance between opening up your life and liberating yourself from stuck mindsets or situations (Uranus), and keeping security and stability and being grounded (Saturn).
Mars going into Scorpio on July 25 will intensify your life, help you to focus and move forward, and feel your passion more. It will stay in Scorpio until September 13, when it goes into Sagittarius.
The New Moon in Leo conjunct Jupiter will bring you more spirit and positive energy, more hope after perhaps previous difficulties. This New Chapter of our lives needs hope and faith as we release old beliefs and ways of being, so we can align our consciousness and lives for the Age of Aquarius.
The changes in the world and the changes in our own consciousness and lives are meant to help us to get out of our stuck and controlling images and egos (the downside of Leo) and move more into our authentic and creative heartfelt selves (upside of Leo).
This week there is a shift forward for all of us. Make intention that this new doorway will bring you to be more whole and healthy, more aligned with your authentic soul self and the Universe, more aware of the connections inside you and all around, more unified with everyone in our human family, and open and ready to embrace the Age of Aquarius.
No matter what craziness is happening in the world, you have the ability and strength to keep your focus on the world you want the children now and in the future to inhabit. And so it is and so it shall be.
See you next week,
Leo
