Over the past few days I’ve been unfolding a story about Saturn as it approaches a hard angle to the Sun. Some of the words astrologers use to describe this connection are reality check, responsibility, crisis, and limits. It’s not an easy angle, but it’s a necessary one.

Yesterday I spoke of Saturn, a planet that represents maturity, responsibility, and achievement. Of all the planets, it brings a sobering influence, a sense that time is short. We’ve got to build the best life while we can. Today we’re feeling the pressure to do just that.
