Your Stock of Ages:
Part 1 (Saturn)
|
|
by Noel Tyl
|
|

Behind the structure of society, of culture, of human kind -how we live, how we organize social development- there are the clearest of clear astrological guidelines. There's a reason why children start school at 6-7; why we have the developmental-challenge years of adolescence at 13-15; why so many of us make career and relationship mistakes at 21; why we all (especially in Amer-European cultures) almost always shift career level and/or direction at age 28-30; why we go through what I call "second adolescence" between 43-46, get the existential doldrums at 50-53; why retirement -originally socially established at 65- has retreated to 60, where it's supposed to be!
Continuing the spirit of this series of articles, helping the Meta-Helper learn astrological deduction and discussion points without an astrological horoscope [please see all we've done in the Archives here!], let's take stock of these ages, appreciating their developmental significances through knowing the astrology behind them.
Saturn is Time, Chronos. Saturn is key in everyone's horoscope and within our society. Saturn takes 28-30 years to go once around the Sun (to orbit the Sun). This means that, immediately after a person's birth, Saturn in the sky keeps on moving, of course, and sets up a geometrical relationship with its birth position in a person's horoscope. In 28-30 years, "transiting" Saturn (Saturn on-the-move) will go once around/through the full compass of a person's life experience and return to its natal position … and then keep going to cover the same ground again … and possibly yet again!
We all know the phases of the Moon, a 28-day cycle divided into 7s (first quarter), 14 (full Moon), 21 (final quarter); seven- day reference points, returning to the starting point, which is New Moon, in 28 days.
It's the same thing with Saturn (and, all the planets, the others having different time schemes). Saturn makes its first-quarter relationship with its natal starting point at age 6-7; it opposes its natal position at 14; it makes the closing "square" (we call it a square, because the first and last quarters occur when Saturn or the Moon is 90o from the starting point) at 21, and returns to be renewed at 28-30.
Oh! Now it's getting interesting: note how the numbers are so similar between the Moon in terms of days and Saturn in terms of years! --These two "planets" do indeed get together dynamically in life development, but that's a bit advanced for our curriculum here. It's not hard, but you do need to know your way around a horoscope to start working on that insight pattern.
Saturn symbolizes father, authority, the boss, the structure of society. At its start, we have the home structure and predominantly the father to establish the very earliest foundation of our life-spine, if you will, how we stand up for what, how we define our confidence, how we fit into and absorb the behavioral modeling presented by our parents. When Saturn squares its starting position, at age 6-7, out the door we go to take on the authority of schooling, another environment with its rules and structures. We're growing. And if there were problems encountered in the earliest, first phase, they will be carried into the second phase, for improvement or worsening.
Just appreciate the developmental engineering going on in those early school years! Ambition and relationships with the outer world are starting to register their youngest thrusts. Then at 13-6 -when Nature's tribes send the child dramatically into complex rites of passage- we clamp down on the youngster for him or her to learn more about the world, to absorb more controls necessary to orderly growth. Saturn is opposed itself; ambition is staring itself in the face, and society says "No!" This frustration is the crisis of adolescence! --Saturn rules the skin. Isn't it fascinating, with Saturn's ambition frustrated, the skin erupts in 'acneal' protest!? Saturn rules the bones, the skeleton: isn't is fascinating how adolescence is such a giant time of body growth!?
The frustrations are rampant. The efforts to be individual are camouflaged by group membership, successfully or unsuccessfully. Relationship follows intense hormonal stimuli. Whew! It's no wonder that precipitous marriage and concomitant mistakes of judgement take place at 21. Marriage for escape. Impatience. Freedom but underachievement?
Then, things start to settle down. Controls are absorbed in order for some level of efficiency to be routined for security. We find out what we really would like to do. As Saturn heads home to its natal position, we usually make the biggest changes in our young, maturing life, and that occurs over a year-and-a-half period between the ages of 28 and 30 [an astrologer can pinpoint it accurately!]. Career direction and level are center stage, and so very often the status-change reflects or has repercussions for a shaky relationship/marriage, an upset there as well.
At 35-36, there's a shift of gears, a maneuvering that is usually very rewarding, confirming the new choices adopted at 28-30.
THEN, here comes transiting Saturn for the second time opposing itself ("second adolescence"). This happens at age 43-46; the grass is greener elsewhere, on practically life-experience front!
--Now, let's understand: there are other planets, transiting at different speeds, making similar cycle phases to the natal positions. These phase movement transits get together, and this reflects individualistic change in development in our lives.
Knowing these shifts at these ages, so entrenched in the time weave of our society, the Meta-Helper, sensitive to and armed with all the other insightful dimensions we have discussed in this series -the Sun-Moon blend, retrogradation phenomena, etc.-can speak informedly about developmental pressures going on in someone's life, in relation to the Need complex leading their experiences.
Next month we will look into the transits of Jupiter -opportunity and reward-and see how this phase cycle keys into the Saturn transit cycle to help us fulfill personal significance under the Sun!
