Jupiter and Saturn are in balance now, throughout December. The astrologer looks at this and wonders: what could it mean? How can two distant planets have anything to do with you?
For me, the arrangement of planets in the sky tells a story, a teaching lecture. Sitting down with the planets is like visiting a guidance counselor. The only problem: what the hell is he saying?
So you break it down. Jupiter teaches about expansion and optimism and opportunity. Saturn counsels restraint and practicality and boundaries and responsibility. Jupiter has a good juicy happy feeling. Saturn feels tighter, stronger, slower.
Then you take those general qualities and wonder how you can apply them to your life. That's what I do as astrologer, and you can do it too.
Encourage and appreciate a lively organic balance in your own life between expansiveness and realistic limits, between generosity and caution, between luck and discipline, between hope and hard work.
