2025: Fourth Quarter

A partial solar eclipse in late September will be having effects during this period, particularly as it fell opposite to the current conjunction between Saturn and Neptune. Eclipses tend to act as triggers, activating what they touch, so the next few weeks and months will highlight both the differences between the Saturnian and Neptunian ways of approaching life and its problems and the possibilities that can come from successfully blending them. We don’t want to be ‘so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good’, or so bound by earthly problems that we cannot see that there is heavenly purpose behind them.

The eclipse also aspected Uranus and Pluto harmoniously, which suggests that the changes already in progress in so much of the world will, if anything, accelerate further, requiring rapid adaptation to new, often unprecedented circumstances.

A harmonious link between Jupiter and Saturn throughout this period helps to bring some balance to the whole situation. Jupiter qualities such as faith, generosity and optimism can do much to help us to keep an even keel and to take as broad a view of things as possible.
