The tradition of astrology is one in which the client asks
questions and the astrologer answers them. The success of
the astrologer is generally determined by the accuracy of
these answers. This tradition, though, can limit the
potentials of astrology, and more importantly, the person
who uses it. The reason is that being right is not always
helpful. With respect to a natal chart, for example, if an
astrologer says, "Pluto in your Seventh House indicates that
you attract powerful and manipulative partners," this may be
correct. But, where does that leave you? Must all your
partners be manipulative? The accuracy of the statement
reinforces your negative experiences in relationships. The
astrologer may be right, but what's been the effect? It has
reduced your hopes for a trusting, non-manipulative
partnership. Is this really helpful?
It's understandable that people want answers and that coming
up with correct ones demonstrates the skill of the
astrologer and the accuracy of astrology. However, the role
of the astrologer is much more than the reporter of facts.
The astrologer can be a creative agent, a source of ideas
and inspiration for creating the future. But, this
possibility can only arise if we do indeed have some choice
in life. If it's all fated, then there's nothing anyone can
do about it. However, if life is a mix of Fate and Free Will
(and I believe it is), then there is a place to influence
the future. This is a very significant role for astrology.

Saturn, Creative Prediction and
Planetary Meanings |
| Creative Prediction, as
I call it, is not about saying that you've got transiting
Saturn square your Venus and this is a great time to party.
It is, rather, a means of finding positive value in any
transit, progression or other forecasting technique. The key
to this is meaning. What is the meaning of transiting
Saturn? If you believe that its only purpose is punishment,
then you might as well stop reading now. Certainly, Saturn
has its demanding side. It holds us accountable and places
us up against limits. But, it also has the potential to help
us build, construct and shape ourselves and our lives with
conscious purpose.
Saturn's square to Venus
is about reshaping love. The form can come with challenges,
that's the most common expression of the square. But, these
challenges are most likely to be fair, within your capacity
to meet them and, thus, can strengthen Venus in your life. A
more detailed description of how this might be done would
come through the sign and house placements of Saturn and
Venus, as well as other aspects and chart factors.
We can tell a
constructive story about any upcoming cycle (or any chart
pattern, for that matter). With this approach the astrologer
helps the client (or him/herself) produce desirable and
realistic images for the future. This creative approach is
only limited by the imagination of the astrologer. Good
astrology, of course, is true to the symbolism; it's
inaccurate to say that Saturn square Venus means expansion
of love. Nope, Saturn is contraction, but the good
astrologer understands the value of contraction and how to
use it productively.

Keyword
Brainstorming |
|
If you're short on ideas about combining the meanings of
Saturn and Venus (or any other astrological factors), try
astrological brainstorming. Take a list of keywords for
Saturn and Venus and combine them in as many ways as you
can. Even non-sensical ones can trigger creative ideas. For
example, with Saturn we have: mature, patient, responsible,
constructive, delayed, frustrated, serious, practical, etc.
For Venus we have: love, beauty, grace, charm, art,
pleasure, etc. Saturn-Venus, then, can bring mature love,
constructive art, responsible pleasure, etc. Add the signs
for more details. Transiting Saturn in Aries, for example,
describes new order or structures, the necessity for
independence or being a pioneer. The house Saturn is
transiting describes where this can best be expressed. If
transiting Saturn is now moving through the Eighth House
square natal Venus in Cancer in the Eleventh, this can mean
(among other things) that the need to define (Saturn) new
conditions (Aries) in intimacy (Eighth House) challenges old
relationships (Venus in Cancer) with friends (Eleventh
House). Or, the need to focus (Saturn) on one person (Aries)
through deep emotional work (Eighth House) meets the
resistance (square) of your old love (Venus in Cancer)
community activities (Eleventh).
Stringing together factors like these can feel awkward at
first, but it's a useful step towardh the creative fluency
that makes for effective astrological counseling. Working
this way means that the astrologer is dealing with
possibilities, not absolute answers. This is vital to the
process of discovery that makes choice possible and
cultivates creativity. The astrologer, then, changes roles
from the arbiter of reality to that of an agent of change,
from having the right answer to supplying a variety of
possible answers. This also means that the astrologer must
be willing to give up her/his power of being right. The
desire to create and contribute must at least equal the
ego's needs to control with absolutes. This kind of
flexibility is appropriate for the health and well-being of
the astrologer and the client. It empowers the client who is
to be encouraged to reinterpret the information in other
ways as she/he sees fit.

Natal Chart Interpretation Principles |
| These same principles
apply to interpreting a natal chart, as well. Too often I've
seen astrologers (including myself) victimized by the limits
they impose on themselves through their interpretations.
"I've got the Moon in Scorpio, so I should just accept
emotional suffering in my life." Statements like these are
not meaningful, they are curses. They may provide some
certainty. (Negativity is an excellent way to control
reality.) But, they disempower the person who hears them. If
astrology is to be of service to individuals and to our
society, it will do well to open itself to all the
possibilities available. At this time we no longer need the
dogmatic beliefs of the past. Pluto in Sagittarius reminds
us that this is a time when religions and philosophies will
be transformed or fall into further corruption. Astrology is
no exception to this. Approaching astrology with an open
mind and heart is the best way to harvest its unlimited
supply of inspiration and useful ideas. |
