Lily Tomlin

Chapter 8. Saturn in Your Chart

Astrologically speaking, the planet Saturn is the force of discipline. Saturn defines your duties, responsibilities and the structure of your life. Saturn also represents the heavy hand of authority, fear, inhibitions, constrictions, restrictions, reservations, anxiety and limits imposed. It is a symbol for the force of gravity. Words like "must" and "can't" relate to Saturn.

Hard work and perseverance are also saturnian concepts and that's not all bad. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine." Saturn represents mastery, seasoned professionalism, efficiency, consolidation and dependability. This Khronos, Odin, "star of limiting the place" also represents daddy, and Jehovah complexes. Below is described your "saturnian" self Lily Tomlin.

Saturn in Taurus

ACQUISITIVE DECISIONS

You can get past your limits by putting your practical affairs and your finances in order. It is your task to find security without being cheap or excessively materialistic.. You also can have your share of sexual inhibitions to overcome. You might have to pay some dues before you learn moderation with your bodily needs. Avoid both denial and extreme overindulgence.

You may have to wait and you can probably find the financial and domestic and sensuous security that you seek by steering a middle path between the values of frugality and thrift on the one hand and excess materialism on the other. Put another way, there are limits to being poor and miserly and there is more to life that the material world. Remember that you are a spiritual being enjoying a physical existence.

A firm foundation and a secure center come from personal values. You are always defined and limited by what you are living for and if necessary what you would be willing to die for. Over time, you can learn to be patient and steadfast. You can acquire some practical business management skills.

TIP: You are advised to study prosperity consciousness. Read The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. ISBN 0-780875-165516.

Chapter 8A. Chiron in Your Chart

Discovered in 1977, Chiron is a relative newcomer to astrology. Named after the half-brother of the Greek god Zeus, Chiron is a comet from outside our solar system, according to the latest scientific findings. In Greek mythology, Chiron was tutored by the Sun and the Moon (Apollo and Artemis) and, in turn, taught the offspring of other gods.

Chiron taught special skills such as astrology, philosophy, ethics, music, medicine, horseback riding, and weaponry. These skills where thought necessary for gods, and humans, to achieve their destinies. The position of Chiron in your birth chart denotes what and where you may teach or be taught. It is also where you can be healed and how you can heal others.

A Centaur, who is part human, and part horse, Chiron is a half-breed. His higher self sometimes struggles with his own animal nature. What follows is a description of the "chironic" side of your character.

EMOTIONAL MENTORING

To become more successful with your family, you need to become more of a maverick. Rearrange your home base. Take another look at your background, heritage and roots. Key in on any relatives who were teachers or healers.

Open new doorways to the past. Take a more sagely approach to managing any tangible assets and real estate holdings that you may have. Try your hand at redefining your private needs and your turf.

Schedule appointments with alternative health care professionals that can help you to stay grounded. Build yourself a new foundation more suited to the needs of the new millennium. Form a more viable resonance with planet earth. To find the key to your destiny, re-examine your roots. Once you have truly secured your own space, you can become less defensive in your interactions with others.

Imagine for a moment that you're Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, Yoda the Jedi Knight or Helen Keller mentoring the blind, then give some sagacious thought to history and historical forces.
