Saturn Square Jupiter—Aquarius to Taurus 23 degrees, August 19th
Saturn aspects Jupiter by 75% July 19NumberIt has been building up over the last few weeks and the entire month of August is feeling its effects. These are big planets so even a 75% aspect within 1-2 degrees will have a strong impact. Jupiter is often associated with finances and the Saturn square can cause temporary fluctuations in finances, delays in goals, low energy or ups and downs and skepticism towards gurus and teachers, and roadblocks regarding religion and faith. We may ask ourselves “Why are we doing this?” “For what?” “What is the meaning?” Secular astrology notes that Jupiter/Saturn squares can cause market drops, but it is always in the context of what else is going on.
This aspect forces us to restructure our lives and examine our limitations, the demands of what we can and cannot do with our time. If we are aware of the positive aspects of this aspect, we can use it to better manage our time. We need to reevaluate our goals and plans, make new sacrifices, avoid overdoing it, and learn how to reinvent ourselves when obstacles come our way.
You may work hard to effect change, overcome the ugly side of your ego, improve your self-esteem, and learn to balance your desires with discipline. The key is to use Jupiter’s creativity to fend off Saturn’s pressures.
Saturn can cause financial difficulties, so you will need to limit your spending. Saturn makes you look at addictive tendencies and make painful plans to change. If you shift your energy into creative endeavors, obstacles will be removed and you will find greater satisfaction. Ultimately, hard work and great responsibility will pay off.
Those born with this in their birth chart may be charitable in nature and want to do great things to help humanity.
