Hi --

I will hold off on your reading until you find out if Daylight was in effect ....

Saturn gets a lot of bad press because so many astrologers do not understand the meanings of the planetary powers. Saturn, if you think about it, is really FIRST among the planets -- being the bottom Chakra and holding the Divine Goddess Power (the Kundalini) which the Yogi then works to raise in consciousness.

In other words, our whole trip through the Zodiac is equivalent to the Lotus blossom climbing up through the water until it reaches the Sun. And each Chakra IS an element or phase of our development, and element or chakra is ruled by a planetary power.

Saturn -- as the ruler of Capricorn in obviously the principle of focus AND discrimination, especially since it is the co-ruler of Aquarius.

Before we evolve, we find limitations burdensome, and for this reason -- in the old texts you will find pictures of Saturn devouring His children! But the meaning is clear when we see the goddess Kundaline standing on the dead form of Shiva. Consciousness IS sacrificed whenever it is limited to a form. But without those limitations, there is no game at all -- so huow would we can play?.

Think of Saturn as your friend, bringing you a time of greater discrimination and focus. And I think that the effects of Uranus -- the newer co-ruler of Aquarius, are obviously more pertinent at this time ..... at least according to your transits.

p.s. Shantana is a short version of 'shantanand' -- meaning 'eternal bliss'. It was given to me by an enlightened Yogi Master.
