Astrology - What Do You Need to Know?
If I only have time for a little bit of Astrology, what is the important stuff?
First you want to know where you have Jupiter and Saturn. Why? Because that defines your social identity, the way you relate to your friends and coworkers, to everyone you are dealing with in space and time. Jupiter is where you have strength and are gaining ground. Saturn is where you are facing challenges and paying back debts.
Once you know where yours are, you can tune in to how the current positions of Jupiter and Saturn are barometers for what is happening in the collective. Again, Jupiter is the current quality of the way people are expanding, what people are doing at a given time to increase their social strength. Saturn's position gives insight into what people are doing to get grounded, accounting for themselves and their past and present behavior. Some people might even want to start with the collective and learn about their own positions afterward. Just as we are being influenced by what is happening in the world around us right now, the birth positions show us how the gestalt, the energies of the time when each of us is born are reflected in the way we respond to the world now.
Start with that - where Jupiter and Saturn were at your birth and where they are now.
