Capricorn Icon forever: David Bowie
Saturn is now in his favorite sign of Capricorn. It’s a monumental shift towards time-tested real-ness.
Below are some wise words from our friend and favorite Scorpio astrologer, Philip Sedgwick. Check out the interview Sherene did with him on her P40 podcast on iTunes and Soundcloud.
*Saturn in Capricorn embellishes excellence, values quality, appreciates refinement. Saturn rewards those qualities. Saturn in Capricorn sanctions, praises and benefits hard work, dedication, diligence.
*Saturn loves solid planning, strategies and yet adores the ability to adjust to shifting circumstances and unexpected turns of fate.
*Saturn in Capricorn possesses an especially wry wit, a great sense of timing, and loves to view life from the point of view of the irony of it all.
*Saturn in his signsake realizes that petty tyrants – those annoying folks who always seem to ask the wrong question at the right time, or whose actions impede the plotted course of action – serve to sharpen focus, intensify determination and perfect tolerance.
*Saturn recognizes that obstacles and adversities – in the pause that they may create – ask a seeker to question whether the current course of pursuit is to satisfy a want or to fulfill a need. Either is fine; just know for certain what the deal is.
*Saturn savors timeliness. There’s a saying that casting directors frequently repeat to actors: If you’re on time, you’re late. Fifteen minutes early is great. You can always do something to honor Mars in Scorpio – locate the fire exits and find the bathroom.
*Saturn loves luxury. In Capricorn, he’s over the moon for high-quality stuff.
*Saturn in Capricorn appreciates the wisdom for saving for a rainy day. He gets that it takes money to make money.
