Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce astrologer Holly Ross, a 12 year astrology student and someone who I have the pleasure of teaching. This is her first astrology blog, and I'm so excited to have her guest blogging here at Metaphysical Meanderings! Take it away, Holly!
“If you like it then you should have put a ring on it.” - Saturn
Saturn,
First, I need to apologize for the things I blamed on you that were actually Pluto. When he was disrupting and transforming my life - for the better I should add - your poor reputation made me think it was you. I frequently wondered what karma I had put out into the world that made me deserve any of the circumstances I was going through. As is normal with Pluto, the only way out is through. Having you strongly on my side is what gave me--and continues to give me--the perseverance to learn, grow, and come out the other side better than I was when everything started. Pluto and Saturn together might shake the foundations of life, but they put something stronger in place that could withstand anything. I can appreciate that now.
Ever since learning more about astrology I have been a strong supporter of you. I’m not being gushy in my love for you; that’s not our style. You are what turned me to astrology in the first place. I knew there were things going on in the universe and using them for proper timing would make my life easier. The only way to find the right door to walk through was to learn. I started with learning about my Saturn return because that was the supposedly scariest thing coming up.
We can agree in my younger years I was impulsive. If it sounded like a good idea I would do it. We can both blame that on other planets, and a bit on choice. THis isn’t about them though. Every time I would do something I shouldn’t, you reminded me that karma can be swift. This kept me on the straight and narrow because I might be stubborn, but I’m a quick learner. I really think that’s why people give you a hard time. If they don’t learn, they repeat mistakes, and you probably let out a heavy sigh and make sure they face consequences.
You were a supporter of mine before I was yours. In classical astrology, Aquarians are children of Saturn. Being told that I was radical, unique, and kept people on their toes never really quite felt entirely true. Yes, some of it is accurate in some ways. I have been told I don’t think like others. We are a dually ruled sign after all. An ever-stronger truth due to your placement in my life is that logic has ruled my life forever. Anytime I do something that seems out of left field for someone else it’s because they weren’t paying attention, or privy to my thought process. All decisions are well thought out, planned, and made with strategic future thinking in mind. That has always been true. You helped me hone that.
Since this is an Aquarian love note we’ll talk about the few nice things that you’ve given me. Obviously, you are swooning because there are bullet points. I know you love that.
- Your placement gave me a good moral compass.
- You gave me the ability to stick to my guns; to see things through no matter how tough they got.
- When I set a goal, you give me the knowledge that my hard work WILL pay off.
- I was able to buy a house because of you.
- I met my husband in the most Saturn way.
- I was able to get a job with great benefits that I enjoy because of my hard work and dedication.
- You taught me maturity and gave me responsibility years before my peers.
- You’ve taught me patience, something I sorely needed as a younger person.
- You gave me a sense of duty to others - though that placement is with other planets as well.
- You give me integrity, and responsibility; the knowledge that if I get something, I come by it honestly. There are no hand outs and there is always a lesson to be learned from any difficult time.
This month you’re going to be joining your Aquarian children for a visit until July when you go back to the Capricorns. In December you’ll stay longer. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to it. When you were here in the early 90s I had a rough go of things. I think I learned the lessons thoroughly the last time; at least I hope I did. I know the planets are going to be in different places so maybe we’ll be able to relax a bit, not too much, and enjoy each other’s company more this time around. Maybe it’ll be a little easier now that I’m older, and gray--you like the gray, I can tell. I’m obviously a better person due to your influence. It’ll be hard work, but sometimes I like that… and really is it worth having if you didn’t work hard for it?!
Anyway, I’m pretty sure no one thanks you while they’re still alive, but that’s exactly what I’m doing. Thank you for being there for me. If I had not listened to you, none of this would have happened.
Yours,
Holly
