When it shines on things, they are transformed.”

Reality Check

The Jupiter Saturn cycle shows the possibilities or changes and development of an individual’s place in society as well as the possibilities or changes and development of groups (social, business and political).

Jupiter square Saturn extends from August 2024 until June 2025. The exact dates are August 19th, 2024 – December 24th, 2024 – June 15th, 2025. The week or so around each date is when it is the strongest, but keep in mind, it is in effect the whole ten months and will show up distinctly at various time for different people, organizations, or situations. There is a reshaping of our social, political and financial spheres.

The whole process can combine vision and ideals with the resolve and persistence to surpass obstacles. That sounds great, doesn’t it? It’s not simple. We face our fears. Confidence and self-assuredness are tested by reality. Breathing in and Breathing out. There are hard decisions that must be made. Stand up to keep your vision alive!

 

Jupiter and Saturn have a 20 year cycle. The inception of the current cycle was on the winter solstice of December 21, 2020:

The Saturn Jupiter conjunction began a significant cycle of social destiny. Read more here: https://jacquelinelasahn.com/more-than-an-eclipse

Now is the waxing square, a time of challenges, crisis and managing aspirations along with the current situation. This is an important year for change.

Aquarius Full Moon

August 19th, 2024

The lunar cycle peaks to fullness on the same day as the significant Jupiter Saturn square. The full moon is exactly square Uranus, creating a configuration known as a fixed T-square. The tension sparkles with activity and spontaneity. Although that may not be comfortable for everyone. Mercury is closely aligned with the Sun, marking a significant point in Mercury’s retrograde cycle. Breakthrough with new ideas and inspirations. Mercury will resume direct motion on the afternoon of August 28.

Seeds of Inquiry

The waxing square is a reality check for what began at the end of 2020.

What must be eliminated or completed or revised?

Are you in alignment with the intentions you planted at that time?

Are you in sync with your ideals and your goals?

What is worth working (or fighting) for?

“We must remember that no effort is lost. We tend to give ourselves such a short period of time for this major transformation. People need to look at the total picture of spiritual life and say, “I must make a lifetime’s commitment to this process.’ That is the gate. There has to be a ruthless self-honesty, the ability to look at something we have been doing for a long time and admit that we have been deluding ourselves. There has to be a commitment, a constant willingness to re-create ourselves. You don’t like what you see? It doesn’t matter, just start again. Without that willingness we cannot sustain the interest in the spiritual process…Self-observation is the beginning, but there must also be self-understanding, which is deeper. Self-observation gives us feedback about what we do. Self-understanding reveals why we do what we do.”
Georg Feuerstein, yogic scholar

Navigation in the Mystery

Your astrological chart is a potent pattern: it is the matrix that reveals how the planets speak within you. Prediction is a matter of looking down the river to interpret and sense the shape and flow of the journey ahead. Consult your celestial compass: What are the conditions and optimal ways to navigate? What are your possibilities and options?

The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth.
They offer parameters, milestones and timing.
They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to
deeper understanding and self-acceptance.
I welcome your inquiry.
I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline
