Astrocartography - Living on Saturn Line

Here is an interesting Astrocartography Question form Tweeting Grace

Curious what you'd say about living on one's Saturn line. Raising kids and Saturn is in the house of children. Okay to ask?


For those new to astrology, astrocartography is an astrological mapping technique. With this technique, we place your chart on a map. This lets us know how different areas will resonate with you.

In Grace's case, she indicates she is living on her Saturn line. Now the first thought most astrologers will have is, Ouch! Not a pleasant experience. But that may not be entirely true.

So let's discuss this.

Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure and time. You might think of it like the school principle.

So if you live on your Saturn line, you may have to toe the line with hard work, heavy responsibilities, limited happiness, confinement, loss and saddness. Now you see the Ouch, more clearly.

But that is not entirely the case. Because as you will see me repeat many times, it depends on the condition of Saturn in the individual's chart.

Grace, has not given me a lot to go on. The only other clue I am given is that Saturn is in her fifth house.

If you had the opportunity to listen to the show I did a week or so ago with Debra Clement on Anchored In Astrology, the fifth house is what we spoke about. You can check her archives to hear it, if you missed it.

The fifth house is the house of everything you love, from your hobbies, to your lover, to your children. It is the house of investments. Where you invest yourself, your talents, and can be your money as well. It is also the house of socializing.

When someone tells me they have Saturn in the fifth, again I might say Ouch, because this placement often brings sorrow or restraint regarding children. It can also do this with love. It is a statement that requires you to work hard in this area of your life. This may mean you must be the disciplinarian in the family, and so all the fun of the natural house of the Sun is not available to you.

But of course that is not the whole story.

If Grace has a nicely aspected Saturn, perhaps an exalted Saturn (in Libra) and there are other planets in this house to soften Saturn, these issues will not be so severe.

As one Vedic astrologer told me years ago about my Saturn mansion:

"You may have happiness only after some tears."

So perhaps Grace will write back and tell us more about her Saturn, its sign and aspects.

Till then, thanks Grace for the question.

Best always,
Michele

Graduating Class of 2008 - The Indigo Ray


On May 17th, I was in Southern California for a few days. I had the joy of watching an outstanding group of young people from all over the world graduate at Claremont McKenner College of Liberal Arts along with my intelligent nephew Matt.


The air was still and hot, and the entire West Coast toasted under the sweltering sun at triple figure digits. I watched as young people filled with ideals took their diplomas and readied to meet the world. Each one had completed a thesis, and it's title appeared under their names. The range of interests spanned issues from international economics to child custody, and computer gaming. This spectacular group came from numerous states from Massachusetts to Hawaii, and countries from Africa to Japan and Italy.


I marveled at the energy and the vast number of cum lauda honors achieved by nearly one third of this graduating class.


These souls have come to step up consciousness as we expand, and transform our world over the next seven years. I felt grateful to see the glow of their energy and enthusiasm, even as the weather whispered of climate changes far out of control.


The major earthquake in China still in the news, Iraq war unresolved, treasonous issues fringing the headlines, gas prices on their way to the planned $5 mark, and America's economy on the brink of disaster with the West leading the nation in foreclosures.


So what can these enthusiastic graduates look forward to?


The great paradox of soul incarnate is despite all the mundane societal, cultural, national and international issues, each one creates their own world. Each soul is linked to the force, as Yoda might put it. The very gridwork of creation is within your potential to adjust, change, imbue with your own imprint.


Understanding this, you can see the potential for waves of uplifting, expansive change through the aggregate intelligence of this graduating class. Here is the hope for change.


The souls graduating colleges throughout our nation this year are only one of the waves of new ray souls. They are the early indigo, many more are still in high school, while the rainbow and crystal children are in still younger grades. Each wave brings a new integrity, a new ideal and a new light to brighten the way as the paradigm shifts rebalancing the earth.
