Containing the Imperceptible

How to Get Saturn Retrograde on Side

Today, June 11th, Mercury finally breaks free of Taurus for home in Gemini today and Pluto retrogrades back in Capricorn. However, underlying these two ingresses is Saturn in Pisces slowing down significantly this week, getting ready to retrograde on June 17th and remain so for four months — which it does every year.

If you haven’t seen it yet, on Instagram, I riffed on the how Friday’s moon in Pisces transit to Saturn would be helpful in highlighting the issues that might come up during the retrograde. Check it out here.

This week is a great time to take stock of what structures / projects / work you’ve found to contain your creativity, dreams, ideals, connection to source, and ability to be a conduit of source into manifest / perceived reality. Ask yourself:

• Which of these will stand the test of time?

• Which will bring BOTH earthly, material as well as spiritual, universal benefits both to yourself AND reverberate through your relationships, communities, and eventually through to the world?

• Which of these truly enables you to RECEIVE in order to SHARE?

Because of the stationary nature of Saturn this week, this is about standing still and dialing into your awareness — especially of your perception and use of time.

Saturn is the planet of time in the sign of timelessness … one of the primary lessons (for my money and mileage at least) of this transit and placement is learning when and how to enter into “flow states”. Saturn in Pisces is about learning how to properly contain that which is imperceptible — time.

This retrograde will provide a natural period to CULL your docket so that what you focus your attention on will both teach and enable you to create that timelessness in the time you invest.

“The task at hand is to eliminate the distractions that create resistance and hence disconnect you from grace and block your ability to effortlessly channel light and grace into the world.”

With that said, oh look! You have an amazing tool at the ready … astrology.

Astrology + Time Management

The ancient origins of astrology lie in our ancestors’ need to predict season shifts in order to organize life and death matters such as the planting and harvesting of crops as well as a search for meaning in omens that correlated with celestial cycles — aka time management and decision making.

There are numerous contemporary schools of thought around time management and optimization along with the requisite apps and planners. However, below are ways that I often deploy myself as well as work through with clients in our 1:1 work.

Hopefully, they provide a more “seasonal” and “biorhythmic” option for you.
