2016 Saturn in Sagittarius, its a global world for real.

        No matter what is going on in the inner solar system, eclipses, Mercury retrogrades, Mars/Venus conjunctions, the paramount astrological guide all the time and each year is the position of SATURN. No matter what the currents of the planetary cycles are doing, everything has to refer to Saturn. He is called the Lord of Karma, the limit, and the form of our lives. To know Saturn is to know that there are laws in the universe. Yes, some seem contrived,  but some are so natural we have forgotten them.Time can come from invented clocks or the everlasting sunrise and sunset, but we obey these rules of time.     

     All the devices of our Earth, Moon, Sun and planets give us parts of what Time means. The Sun is a day and a year, the Moon is a week, a month, and a little more than a year. the Earth and Sun provide seasons and the measure of light and dark. Mighty Saturn rules the bigger aspects of time, 29 years to once circle the Sun. Seven years to quarter its orbit and two and a half years to give to each sign of the Zodiac it once orbits the Sun. Saturn is the last planet visible to the human eye. It is the limit of our universe. It is the symbol of Father, authority, law, time, and the Winter Solstice.

     The orbit of Saturn is just like the moon, only in years instead of days. The moon changes signs every two and a half days, Saturn changes signs every two and a half years.  For the past six years, Saturn has traveled through the Relationship signs, Libra, 2009-2012 then Scorpio, 2012-2015.
Last year, in 2015, Saturn played with the perimeters of the two signs Scorpio and Sagittarius, pulling us all to new ideas, travel, expansion and the NEXT THING as it occupied Sagittarius on January 4, 2015. But it keep sliding back into the late degrees of Scorpio, bringing up the money shocks, murder and war. Blame was the keyword in 2015, but the new truth, being glimpsed, being hinted at, is Change. Ain't nobody got time for blame no more.... move it out. The world has turned, change happened.
       Now,  in January of 2016, Saturn settles firmly and definitely into the middle degrees of Sagittarius, the ninth sign. By the number nine, we know everything, we have been identified, valued, discussed, felt, expressed, refined and then connected and dissected, so we know death, and what it leaves behind. These past two and a half years of Saturn in Scorpio, have shifted the money. Oil no longer rules, prices are fluctuating, resources are moving around and becoming different items. Is coal more important than wind? Is shale oil worth what vast empty lands full of solar generators can produce? Will somebody stick a conductor into the raging motion of rivers and tides and generate electricity?
      The tug of war over what its worth, who has it, and who is trying to take it..... flopped. That rope everyone was pulling on and fighting for... is ashes.
     Today, the words of Sagittarius are expansion, travel, the wider world, openness, education! Here, knowledge is better than cargo,  and maps may help us more than money. The time is ripe for startling invention, sudden changes and stupendous shifts in what we do and what we are using to do it with.        
       Try new ideas, look for the global perspective and the higher road. Philosophy is big right now, beware the justifications  and be wary of glittering new lies and huckster promises. In pioneering moments the carpetbaggers and drifters are all included. So make your new inventions seen, but don't give away your copyrights.
