Episode 97: Saturn with Dena DeCastro

Dena DeCastro & I talk about Saturn and Saturn Transits and do a reading based on these themes.
Saturn Notes by Dena DeCastro
Saturn
Ruler of Capricorn
Ancient Ruler of Aquarius
Your Natal Saturn:
Saturn in the natal chart is the function within us that makes it possible for us to develop discipline and maturity. Saturn’s house and sign placement indicate where and in what way you are to enact your earthly responsibilities, and where a sense of duty lies.
Saturn Transits:
Saturn times are times in which we are invited to step into a role of authority and maturity in our lives. We must learn to choose decisively and act upon our decisions. We are asked often to shoulder more responsibility, and perhaps “toughen up” in the area being touched by the transit. There are no magical solutions available, nor any “get out of jail free” cards during this season. A Saturn transit offers the lesson of facing reality head on. The gift of this time is in learning that you actually can do it. A successful integration of Saturnian medicine shows you that you are more mature, wise, and capable than you thought possible. This leads to a sense of accomplishment, and the strength to move forward.

Leisa & Dena – Great discussion of all of the different sides to Saturn. (A Sun/Moon Cappie myself, Saturn and I are old, old frenemies.) I loved the invocation spread – innovative way to go!
Blessings,
Bonnie

enjoyed the show and music. As you considered which music to go with, did you consider the “Saturn” movement of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets.”

That would have been a good music source. I was going for something that I could distribute without violating copyright.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the unintended emphasis Dana gave to the phrase “hard aspect.” It came across as “Hard Ass……….. pect. LOL

That is funny. I’ll remember to give her a hard time about it.
