I spent a good amount of time analyzing the moon these past two days, and I’ve come to this conclusion:
Saturn is “Old Father Time,” astrology has given him the responsibility to restrict and limit through time, but what about the moon?
Because of the moon, our awareness has been risen to observe not only time, but cycles of time as well. In modern times, the Sun has been associated with man and masculinity, and the Moon with women, the mother, wives, and femininity. That’s a great place to start.
When the moon is full, I imagine it to be a woman who’s looking at me, and every night, she turns ever so slightly until her back is facing us, the time I associate with the new moon. Therefore, when we can see the moon, the moon can see us.
She doesn’t make an about face 180-degree turn all at once, she does it methodically. She turns a little bit each night.
By its very nature, the moon teaches us about patience and the passage of time. If you wanted to buy a can of soup from your local food store, but the store was closed, you’d have to wait until the store reopens the next day.
That’s so routine and mundane that we miss the lesson. The lesson is all things in due time, a little at a time, and everything in moderation, and that’s what we learn from the moon.
Even in the natural life cycle, when you plant a seed a process takes place. I don’t think anyone planted a seed on Sunday and woke up to full grown tree the next day on Monday.
As we make this case for the moon, we have no choice but to reconsider the responsibilities placed on Saturn. Do we really need a double dose of limitation and restriction?
During my studies I found something interesting. The lunar cycle is about 29 days and Saturn makes one trip around the Sun in 29 years! There are lots of similarities between Father Time and the Huntress, the number 29 for sure, but the Number associated with the Moon is actually 27.
Either way, it’s time for me to revisit the drawing board. I think it’s finally time to separate and redefine our Moon and Saturn.
