Up top we have Saturn square Jupiter. This is my story. 

We all meet our third house cusp (mines cappy) and the ruler where we shop / locally as that’s the Gemini house innit. Furthermore where the ruler sits will show us how as that’s  it’s MO.

This morning l drove (gem) my partner (l have Venus partnership planet in my 3rd) to the dentist, that be Saturn, the teeth, as he needs work, that’s my Capricorn cusp, on his knashers.

I drop him off as he’s being anaesthetised, (that’s my Saturn the cusp ruler which is in Pisces).

Whilst he’s gone l go into shop, l struggle as l have pulled my back out (Saturn again) .With a bag of sunflower seeds for the birds (Venus in the third, l love the birds, and birds are a Mercury thing, it’s the third house).

The lady on till looked bout my age (2nd Saturn return) she said “don’t lift it love, l got a code on my list”. She then said she likewise had a bad back and was awaiting her third operation. 

Yes it’s a mirror and l met me. Then a man came behind in the queue he had overheard our chat and held up two packets of pain killers, you guessed it. He had a bad back.

Outside l meet two people one with a pair of sticks and the other openly dragging themselves along.. everyone needs support, Saturn.

Many years ago when l discovered astrology l realised that l had dad’s issues, as my chart spun off his. Dad, Saturn, suffered, Pisces, with depression. Capricorn on my third cusp in Capricorn is fixed thinking.  

So after my own breakdown (dark night of the soul) l burst out of this with an opposition to Uranus that had been useful as Astro gave me access to see myself as l had been before l learnt, Gemini s house, how to utilise astrological knowledge.

The current square up top between Saturn (as ruler of my third) and Jupiter mirrors my own sat/ jupe square.

I chose faith and knowledge, Jupiter, over fixed, limited thinking, Saturn.

Nevertheless Saturn, even when healed still brings me the natal signature that l carry in my nativity.

That of weak people, Saturn in Pisces, who need support, they can be physically disabled as in walking with sticks or they can be anxious/ depressed/ fearful types.

I am called with my third house to work locally with others who are struggling with “fixed thinking”.

 My own ancestral issue, Pluto, is that of choosing, third house, to overwork, to always put work and responsibilities before pleasure (Venus in the house is debilitated, retro and anoretic). 

The Jupiter square in my 8th, but ruling my 2nd is the telltale, as over work literally kills people in my lineage. The 2nd house is the pleasure they died before having, it’s the food they didn’t eat/ couldn’t afford, the relationships they did not enjoy. The love they didn’t feel.

The reason to live was to work. Period.

I have done my back in as l am yet to modify my Pluto/Uranus in my 10th, obsession is Pluto as it’s my 10th  (a work house) and it opposes Saturn Chiron and Mars in Pisces l know it’s my “weakness”.

I inherited it (Pluto) from dad (Saturn) and square Jupiter in 8th it killed him.

Do l learn (gem) now on Jupiters fifth 12 year cycle or do l let it kill me despite knowing better, Jupiter?
