Capricorn and The Man

All these planets in Capricorn are reminding me of my relationship with The Man, a.k.a. authority in the form of institutions that could potentially hold some power over me. With Pluto in the sign of big business and government, I'm going to have my eye on The Man, while taking care of business to minimize surprise calls or visits. Lately, I've been thinking of Saturn in Virgo as the gatekeeper ally for this transition, giving us the patience to mind the details. For me, it's little things like always wearing the seat belt, not just 80% of the time. And I've been experimenting lately with actually saving up for things before buying them.

Saturn in responsible Virgo prefers to live simply and honestly than be beholden to The Man. When the Capricorn planets throw their weight around, Saturn's focus helps us untangle all those complications that grow into a vague sense of dread, if not dealt with. For some of us, it's not easy to find that equilibrium again, especially in finances. But as I've been telling myself lately, you've got bigger fish to fry than to get entangled with The Man. Especially over things that can be worked out with Saturnian effort. These harmonious earth planets lend support to setting things right...for your own peace of mind. Not everything is in our control, especially with Pluto involved. But as your personal bookkeeper, this Saturn in trine to Capricorn planets, supports more clarity in your home office, and through that, independence.

Today's Venus-Saturn trine (Exact at 9:19 pm EST) creates a sense that we're all in this together. It adds a settled feel to relationships, so we can dig into what we're doing more completely. This transit reminds us that life is sweeter when we help each other along the way.
