Saturn Return
In the process of individuation there is moment in our life around 28-29 years old. We all experience the return of Saturn. The Astrologycal period of time when this planet makes a complete round of itself in the zodiac energies.
The more I deep into astrology the more I understand in perspective the cycles of my life experience. So, around the first return of Saturn I ve moved to Patagonia, a vast region in the south of Argentina. The nature there is stunning. A very special place surrounded by mountains and lakes, glaciers, forest and magic.
The contact with nature had awaken wider eyes and soul. I could experience the cycles of nature, living each season with full awareness.
I had the fortune to live deep in the forest, sharing my space with amazing wild hares, tulips, abundance of cherry trees, native mushrooms, raspberries and the view of the Milky Way from the garden.
Capricorn and the Goat
What I would like to share is that Saturn is not always evil or malefic as it is exposed in classical astrology. In this place I had Saturn situated in my chart on the ic during my Saturn return and I was able to assist a magnificent and expansive environment. On another hand I feel I ve incarnated the Saturn itself when I started to trek in the mountains. In the beginning it was hard to believe that after walking for many kilometers up in the mountain I would reach a lagoon in the top of it!
The Saturnian and Capricorn energy are related to develop maturity and to achieve goals, to reach a new level of compromise and responsalibilities, it is a process to make our visions and dreams concrete. Capricorn is related the top of the hill and the goat is the animal that reaches the top as it goes step by step, little by little and in a constant way.
When we are walking uphill all this set of questions arises, why are we walking all this miles? Why are we carrying all this weight in our backs? We continue walking and more questions arises, while our feet hurt and we don’t have a clear idea of what is the purpose of this at all….
The inner mountain
Life has all this mountains that we start to walk with our backpacks full of stuff, of things we “need”. Sometimes it is heavy, we sweat, we need to rest and it is hard. We even ask ourselves if it is worthy, why are we doing that!? But always in the end there are treasures waiting for us to receive. After all the effort we arrive in a different place, with a different consciousness, with our eyes open and with a new perspective.
There is a purpose behind this mountains always, wild flowers, magic stars, caves, glaciers and surprises we never saw coming. Keep walking and exploring, life reveals its miracle !
When we reach the top we can see why we have made all that effort. We can rejoice in the immensity, in sharing the sky of the world with eternity.
And there is when we decide to climb another mountain….
