Between a Rock and a Lightning Bolt: Saturn square Uranus in 2021

February 14, 2021 By Jacqueline

New Worlds by Julie Dillon 300x203 - Between a Rock and a Lightning Bolt: Saturn square Uranus in 2021Between a rock and a lightning bolt.
Between the anchor and the razor’s edge.
Between caution and taking a risk.

Between a rigid limit and an open window.
Between the reliable and the unpredictable.
Between responsibility and independence.

Between a tap root and a shooting star.
Between the conformist and the contrary.
Between routine and innovation.

Between a tug of war and a balancing act.
Between the dull and the bizarre.
Between conservative and rebellious.

The immediacy and tension
of the jagged confines of this juncture,
between a past and a future.


Saturn Square Uranus
February 17, 2021
June 14, 2021
December 24, 2021

Limitations loom large. Either we become aware of them or we are wrestling with dissatisfaction. Many feel boxed in by duties and responsibilities or feelings of guilt. Some believe their freedom and independence is being compromised or even taken away.

Goals may be disrupted by unexpected circumstances. There is an urge to get rid of responsibilities and routines or at least change them. It is a good time to break patterns, innovate and redesign how and where we’re going. Impatience demands immediate change, but is it wise to make irreversible alterations abruptly? Be aware of your intentions.

Uranus, the Awakener kick-starts new directions and sudden life changes, Saturn steps in measured time and tends to resist change. Is it possible to master the alchemy of risk and caution to express creativity and originality to implement enduring change? We will certainly face the baggage of the past and need to determine what is worth carrying forward. There is a strong emphasis now on our future goals and the impetus forward.


“If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.” Gail Sheehy

Lunar Eclipse Drama

January 9, 2020 By Jacqueline

Howl at the Moon by Julie Dillon 269x300 - Lunar Eclipse Drama
Howl at the Moon by Julie Dillon

Crazy moon.
World out of balance.
The dragon takes a bite out of the moon.
A shadow looms large where we expect illumination.
Howl at the moon!

It’s a new year. Time to be productive, get stuff done, move ahead.
There are edges, boundaries, and limits.
The shadow rises up, gets in the way.
Hungry shadow, demanding shadow.
Denial is no longer convenient.
Is there a price to be paid?

The dark ocean spits up a bottle
that holds an irresistible message that reads:
Pay Attention.

Even though every voice in your head tries to distract you from the truth…
an insistent glimmer of consciousness reels you tighter to focus:
Listen, this is important.
Complacency is a dead end.

Even though you may be grasping a thread
that is unraveling from the ground where you stand…
keep following to where it leads.

Even though you strain to focus through the twilight of distorted lens
and you are aching,
dis-empowered, split,
not knowing who or what to trust.

The karmic shadow bears a heavy weight.
Be brave and lay down the burden.
Reorient your center of gravity.
Remember your roots.
Calibrate your compass.
Stand up to your karmic shadow.
Welcome the clarity.
Choose integrity.


“Everything changes, everything is connected, pay attention.” Jane Hirshfield, Buddhism in Seven Words

Uranus Direct January 10
Saturn conjunct Pluto (and Mercury) January 12
Sun conjunct Saturn, Pluto, Mercury January 13

This is a challenging time with unique circumstances for each one of us individually and collectively. Complex. Lopsided.

It is natural to feel more sensitive than usual. There is a greater awareness of whether or not we feel “at home” within ourselves, our families, our relationships, our communities. Defensiveness is rampant as many are feeling vulnerable with a sense of being criticized or attacked.

The light of the Moon is partially eclipsed by the Earth. Earth’s shadow stands in front of the light. We see the world from a different perspective. Eclipses change the shape of perceived reality, often uncovering what’s been hidden. Our challenge is to incorporate the wildly shifting perspective.

It’s the time of year when the sun and moon reach their closest points to Earth, aligning the celestial bodies like a perfect cue shot to create maximum gravitation pull. (Severe weather forecast from SFGate). Tornadoes. King Tides bring flooding.

Taurus Full Moon 200x300 - Lunar Eclipse Drama
Uranus Direct

Additionally, Uranus’ station direct (retrograde since August 12, 2019) within hours of the eclipse magnifies restlessness, radical change and the unexpected. Again, this theme of the individual and the collective… it’s up to each one of us to grow from our roots and our history as we zoom into the future. This is a powerful turning point where we are confronted with decisions of whether to change course or what to cut out of our lives.

This is also in resonance with the major conjunction of Saturn and Pluto (previously occurred in 1982, 1947 & 1914) This time around it is inextricably tied in with the aforementioned components of the current design. Even if astrology is not your language the image of the celestial design commands attention.

Out with the old, in with the new. We must take a radical turn and step up to a greater evolution and awakening for a sustainable future.


“These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.” Najwa Zebian


The Inevitable

Our task is to deal with what has been stuffed, suppressed or buried, what we haven’t been able or willing to face.

The collective element is immense: our shared history, what traditions and ways of “doing business” are mainstream acceptable yet in reality shameful and harmful – involving slavery, abuse and destruction. The commodification of everything. Shameful waste. The hoarding of wealth. Now is the time to transform the Capricorn archetype. May we be stewards of the earth and respectful of all life and the generations ahead. May we take the mantle of power and responsibility with sober, reverent maturity.

The old Patriarchal power insists on building walls and barriers and the fresh blood is rising, unprecedented in diversity in this country, speaks for holding a more inclusive umbrella for the generations ahead.

This is a strong statement for maturity and steadfastness. Who carries the power of authority? Own it. It time for each of us to bear the responsibility to reshape our world. The call for security and control often gives rise to fear. Claim your boundaries. Own your authority and your responsibility for the generations ahead.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. 200x300 - Lunar Eclipse DramaInquiries and Contemplations

Where am I out of integrity in my life?

What are the unhealthy habits, people or props that hold me back?

What can I learn from my past?

What practical strategies or steps can I take to be in alignment with my values and work towards my aspirations?

What nourishes me?

Aquarius New Moon: Begin Again

February 1, 2019 By Jacqueline

“The really magical things are the ones that happen right in front of you. A lot of the time you keep looking for beauty, but it is already there. And if you look with a bit more intention, you see it.” Vic Muniz

Spacious imagining. Aquarius New Moon stimulates fresh and innovative approaches to familiar holding patterns. There is a spark of opening to new possibilities. Aquarius sees humor in human dilemmas. We’re all in this together. Aquarius sparkle meets Imbolc, a new moon at the cross-quarter (midpoint between Winter and Spring) is a propitious point of energized beginnings.

February 1st begins with Mars square Pluto. The aspect is intense, controlled, often angry and competitive. Mars travels ahead to join with Uranus on February 12, no restraint, potentially reckless, highly energized, eager to initiate change!

February 6 – March 6: Uranus moves through the 29th degree of Aries. This a a wild passage that portends discoveries and forging ahead and yet may also fuel radical behavior for those who only hold self-interest. “Expect the unexpected.” Look where Aries is located in your chart for this “last blast” of initiative and breakthrough and make the most of this time.

Identify the restraints, the judgements or blame surrounding them.

What will my life look like when I live fully in the awareness of my freedom and what may I initiate?

Aries New Moon: Activate!

April 13, 2018 By Jacqueline

The years go fast…There is much beauty awaiting – in undreamed of ecstasies, do not wait too long, do not delay too much…It is the only way worth living.” Emma Goldman

Meeting the Dawn by Julie Dillon 193x300 - Aries New Moon: Activate!Begin, begin, begin again.
Do it now. Activate!
Breathe the spiral of lifespring rising within you.

First new moon of Spring
Aries New Moon.
Focus intentions, move forward.
Creative fire forges action.

Impulse, action and the instinctive leap into the unknown.
The only ground to stand on
is the leading edge of provocative fire.

The leap, the courage, the precipice of now.
Take the initiative, break new ground, activate.

Affirm your intentions, align with integrity and take action.

Stay strong and centered.
Take a chance, wake up,
don’t lose your head.

Begin, begin, begin again.
Do it now. Activate!
Breathe the spiral of lifespring rising within you.

“You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that’s freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of suffering and madness. And it’s happening right here.” Eckhard Tolle

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a young upstart not known for its patience. The new moon comes into place alongside Uranus, the rule-breaker. Together, they are a rash alliance that activates disruption and breakthrough. Situations that have been lagging may receive a new infusion of inspiration or a sharp push for change.

This lunation gives courage to move forward. If, for some reason, courage is masked or stifled, extreme dissatisfaction, anger and agitation usually arises in its place. The impulse, the urge to break out of limiting factors is strong. Aries acts swiftly and instinctually.

Uranus is moving through the final degrees of Aires. The seed of this new moon culminates in two weeks at the Scorpio Full Moon at the time Uranus begins to traverse the 29th degree (until it enters Taurus on May 15). Uranus is a planet of radical change. As we close important chapters in our lives, take note that Uranus is known as “The Awakener”.

Aries NM 2018 www.Astrospirit.com Jacqueline Lasahn.bmp 300x300 - Aries New Moon: Activate!Ready or not, the immediacy of this present moment propels us forward. Yet, the importance of conscious intention at this New Moon cannot be overstated. Mercury stations direct only hours before Sun and Moon align, don’t be too hasty. Mars (ruler of Aries) continues to travel between Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. It catches up with Pluto on April 26. It will be retrograde June 26 – August 27. There will be plenty of opportunities to test, question and struggle with self-initiative and the will of others. Now the question is where do you need to focus your fire and assert yourself? Are you fierce and unfettered or irritated and burnt out? Tune into your personal sense of Now… or Now What?


The years go fast... 200x300 - Aries New Moon: Activate!☽ Aries New Moon Seeds of Inquiry ☼

Where do I need to focus my energy and passion?

How may I temper impatience with long term objectives?

Where am I ready to take a risk?

What are my fears about change?
