THE CRISES OF SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE, PLUTO
Life is full with challenges.
It is impossible to lead an intense live and not to feel the pain
of passing through periods of crises, falls, or other destructive changes.
While some people completely collapse and never manage to pass through
difficult situations, many other people manage to rise from conflict and
difficulty renewed, transformed, and ready for new challenges.
Every crisis can be understood as a catastrophe, as something horrible
that needs to be avoided at all costs, but it can be also accepted as a
turning point, a critical juncture, as a possibility for something new,
a possibility for a change.
In most cases the time of pain, crisis and changes comes
at the same time as the cycles of slow planets such as Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto.
Regardless of the type of the conflict, trauma, paradox, or dilemma
that happens, all these planets have the same characteristic: their
passing cannot leave us as we were before their arrival.
Our reaction to pain and crisis marks the way we will
pass through such a period.
If we believe that crises are something terrible, and
are main instinct is to somehow turn back the clock or find the exit out
of the bad situation as quickly as possible, thinking only of ourselves,
we will get stuck in the crisis for a long time.
But if we believe, as the wise men of the ancients China, that crises
are the possibility for a new birth, we increase the possibility to use
these stressful times in a constructive way.
For many people it takes a long time to understand the true reason
for their misfortune, until they recognize the possibilities which the
new life can offer them.
Unfortunately, a great many people never leaves the crisis
only because they don't focus on the future and stay trapped in the past,
regretting what life once was, losing the opportunity for further life
with newfound, hard-earned wisdom.
Nietzsche wrote: He who has the reason – the purpose for life is
the person that can overcome all the obstacles.
Just as the seed of a cherry knows that
is it's destiny to become an cherry tree, not a pear tree, there
is a part of us that knows what we intend to reach and
which path we need to take to get there.
Here the astrology shows its' uses because it shows the
nature of our seed: it is the map that suggests what we would become.
Birth chart is frozen in time; it is a picture of the sky at the
time and place of our birth.
Transits or the passing of the planets in your birth horoscope shows
where the planets are now in relation to the position they had at the time
of your birth.
Crises and pains can be signs that things are not the
way they should be.
If at that time we are not honest with ourselves, if we
continue to repress our true nature, the created tension is reflected as
disease, pressure, chronic dissatisfaction with life, pain, we also attract
events that will force us to change through suffering.
If we don't want the cosmos to burn down our houses, destroy
our cars, businesses, family, end relationships or ruins the health, to
force us to pay attention to what is happening, we must motivate ourselves
and actively live the stressful period and adjust ourselves to introduce
the newly created energy into our lives in a constructive manner.
