Transiting Saturn
The Opportunity:
This transit is allowing you to step into your authentic maturity. That means sudden changes initiated by you or otherwise that help you to let go of responsibilities that aren’t actually meant for you. For example, if you took a job or bought a house because of the expectations that others had for you, especially people you consider to be an authority in your life. Now is the time that you or circumstances help to free you from burdens that aren’t actually yours to carry anyways.
It may feel extreme, to be sure. But if something you’ve been feeling like you need to be disciplined in showing up for, suddenly has a change of circumstance remember that it’s there to help you only carry and be in devotion to your own path. To only carry what is yours. A time of freeing you of the expectations of others where you’ve had to show up regularly and put in physical energy and effort into maintaining something that in your bones is not part of your path. Be willing to be rebellious, stand your ground, and stand up to people who are telling you that you need to be something that doesn’t feel right. Allow cut ties during this time to feel like freedom, not like loss. If something has fallen away, it means that something that suits you better is ready for you to accept it into your life. Your energy and diligence are being freed up so you can shoulder more aligned opportunities and duties.
