A worldview, or a belief system, is a carefully chosen set of ideas that explains who we are, how the world works and how we can best fit into it.
There are numerous religious
worldviews.
There is a single, more unified and
consistent scientific worldview.
There are numerous political
worldviews, etc.,
Many mix and match worldviews.
Almost everyone has a worldview, or
belief system, and relies on it to navigate their life.
In addition to everything else they
did, the last 6 or 7 years adversely affected our worldview.
So much changed so dramatically,
most worldviews are now badly out of date and generally inadequate to our
present needs.
We cannot single handedly create-or
update a worldview.
Creating, maintaining and changing
worldviews is a complex group phenomenon.
And the planetary help we would need
to accomplish this upgrade is just around the corner.
The
bottom line is that we’re all standing at a crucial life crossroad without a
road map.
The good news is that, although our
worldviews are still in flux, the planets are about to bring them into much
closer alignment with reality.
Neptune and Saturn are absolutely
crucial to the birth, growth and evolution of ideas, including the ideas that
make up our worldviews.
Neptune makes ideas flexible and
expansive.
Saturn keeps ideas logical.
Saturn and Neptune often work at
cross purposes, but between them, they help us keep our ideas about the world
real, relevant and reasonable.
Presently, Neptune is in Pisces.
Saturn will soon be in Sagittarius
(December 2014).
As Saturn moves into Sagittarius, we
approach a pivotal moment in the evolution of the ideas that largely determine
the nature of our world, the flow of events, and guide our lives.
Saturn and Neptune will be in broad
square relationship from the moment Saturn enters Sagittarius.
There will be three exact
Saturn/Neptune squares between November 2015 and September 2016.
As Saturn squares Neptune, rigid,
fixed ideas will become more flexible; unrealistic, inaccurate ideas will
become more realistic and accurate.
We
will take more time to arrive at an opinion, on the one hand, and be less
likely to cling to outdated opinions on the other.
Our ideas will tend to mesh slowly
into a more solid, stable and reliable picture of the world.
This will happen on a large enough
scale to bring all our idea, and our worldviews into better alignment with
reality globally.
This process might be of little help
to those with grossly unreasonable, irrational worldviews.
But for those whose worldviews are
basically reasonable and need an upgrade, these four years will be a blessing.
Their worldview will come into
closer alignment with the truth of our situation and, thus, become more
empowering and effective.
It should also be noted that the
coming Saturn/Neptune square marks a major energetic shift, away from the
strictly physical and material world to the mental, emotional and spiritual
realms.
September’s Chart
I know this talk of worldviews and
their effect on our lives can seem impersonal and abstract.
But September’s composite chart
gives us an idea of just how personal and concrete the transformation of a
worldview can be.
I view September’s chart as both
preparation for and a preview of what we can expect as Saturn moves into square
relation with Neptune.
It
will initiate a thorough and fairly rigorous review of all the ideas we use to
understand our lives.
September will show us how such a
process looks and feels on the micro- and macro- levels. (The reassuring bits
come at the end.)
September’s T-Square
The most important and indicative
aspect in September’s chart, in my opinion, is a T-Square.
This T-Square involves the Moon’s
Nodes, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto, Capricorn, Pisces and Leo, and the 2nd, 5th
and 8th houses.
In effect, it involves all the major
spiritual evolutionary forces in the chart.
It
will affect the totality of our finances and all of our personal relationships
- romantic, social, professional and otherwise.
This T-Square leaves very little
untouched.
The T-Square’s Effects on the
Macro-Level
On the macro-level, the real battle
in September will be between people fighting to preserve the gross inequality
of the old status quo (Uranus conjunct the South Node in the 8th) and those
committed to genuine economic reform (Mercury conjunct the North Node in the
2nd).
The debate could be strident,
rancorous and confusing.
At bottom, though, the forces of
spiritual evolution (North Node), will support those fighting for genuine
change, as proposed by the grassroots.
False arguments in support of
injustice and inequality will finally be understood to be untrue.
September’s Relationship Yod
The Yod in September’s chart
indicates that we could all experience this confusion and conflict in an
intense and deeply personal way.
The mental and emotional turbulence
of August is probably not over.
The Yod involves Pluto, Chiron and
Jupiter, the 5th, 7th and 12th houses, and Capricorn, Pisces and Leo,
respectively.
Generally, this Yod will produce
persistent, rapid, see-saw tensions over spiritual, moral, social, cultural and
romantic relationship issues.
These
tensions will push us persistently and repeatedly to spiritualize our
relationships.
It could also compel us to modify or
end relationships that do not work for us on a spiritual level.
Alternatively, the Yod will push us
to change relationships so that they do support our efforts to spiritualize our
lives.
Deeply Destabilizing September
Overall
September’s composite chart is a
full, slowly boiling cauldron of transformational and disruptive energies.
Try to imagine what it would be like
to immerse your mind and your emotions in this cauldron.
September’s chart will send
continuing swarms of mental and emotional shocks, large and small, through our
lives - at home, at work, at play, on individual and group levels.
These
numberless shocks will open cracks between ourselves and our most important
friends and allies.
Disillusionment and realization will
alternate in close, rapid succession.
That, in turn, could subtly
undermine our social and professional lives as well as give us room to
maneuver.
The same basic process will occur on
the macro-level.
This effect will be pervasive and
global.
Long-standing political and economic
loyalties will come apart, slowly but surely reshaping the political and
economic landscape.
This will be its own source of
excitement and stress for anyone caught up in these events.
And to some extent, we are all
caught up in these events.
All of this can cause persistent,
low-grade stress that, over time, will undermine our sense of mental and
emotional well-being.
This, in turn, could undermine our
physical health.
By the same token, it will undermine
peace and stability at the community, state, regional and national levels.
But that is not the last word.
The last word is an encouraging
one.
Subtle But Pervasive Moderating
Influences - An Encouraging Note
We must not be disheartened at the
thought of so much instability.
Underlying harmonies in September’s
chart tell us that a new consensus is already taking shape, a solid foundation
is forming in the deeper levels of our minds.
We are already creating the
foundation for a new stability.
Unlike
the seemingly open-ended stresses and strains of recent years, these stresses
and strains will come with an end in sight.
There is, for example, a subtle form
of reciprocity between the chief planetary players in September's chart.
Aquarius is the natural house of
Uranus.
Aquarius occupies the 6th house, the
natural house of Mercury.
Hence, find a degree of reciprocity
that will help moderate the high voltage Mercury/Uranus opposition and help us
find resolution.
There are other such factors at work
in this chart.
Also, despite what is sure to be a
strident and rancorous debated, the sheer power of this Yod will work in favor
of compromise.
It is powerful enough to force
genuine and lasting changes on all levels.
The Yod is driven hard by Pluto and,
with Chiron, will produce pressures uncomfortable or painful and urgent enough
to force accommodation.
The sheer strength and
relentlessness of this dynamic Yod will push people toward compromise and
consensus.
Those ceaseless little shocks to the
system that drive things apart will also be providing the flexibility we need
to form new, more productive alliances.
The subtle, pervasive
destabilization caused by this Yod will also open us to deep, subtle forms of
inspiration and guidance and give us the freedom and the motivation to act on
that guidance.
Finally, as Saturn moves into
Sagittarius, we will benefit from a broad (Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter) trine in
fire signs.
This broad trine is especially
favorable for large, complex changes that require wide-ranging coordination and
cooperation.
It will begin in December
when Saturn enters Sagittarius and fade when Jupiter leaves Leo in August
2015.
Beneath the turbulence, hidden
behind the clouds of turmoil and the din of public debate, good things will be
happening.
We must not allow ourselves to be so
overwhelmed by the stress of these changes that we lose sight of the good stuff
- the reasons for hope and confidence in the future.
[We should also be mindful that
September’s pressures are driving us toward October’s eclipses.
Eclipses always mark turning points
and deadlines, foreseen and unforeseen.
These eclipses will reset everyone’s
expectations and accelerate forward motion.
Keep that in mind, too.]
