Saturn turns Retrograde June 4 at 25 degrees 15 minutes AQUARIUS to October 22/23 at 18 degrees 35 minutes Aquarius. As Saturn turns Retrograde it also squares MERCURY stationing DIRECT in TAURUS on ALGOL/the Demon Star. The Amber Heard Johnny Depp trial outcome has made her and by extension all women seemingly be monsters who are then demonized.
There was a similar aspect to the Mercury Saturn square in November 2020 which was the time of the long recount of the US presidential election. There may be similar delays in things getting up and going again. It will take until June 18 until Mercury surpasses its Retrograde station point in GEMINI.
Saturn makes us face realitythrough hard tests, raising obstacles, maturing and limiting us.Saturn rules our bones, and our lives. Traditionally he is Father Time, The Grim Reaper or Death. As Saturn governs career, work and long term plans and goals,You may want to change careers while Saturn is Retrograde and head out into a completely new and freer direction. Many more people are choosing to work remotely. But you need more discipline to do so. That’s Saturn’s alley.

Saturn rules fathers, seniors, bosses, mentors. Saturn rules career and long term goals and reputation. Aquarius is Saturn’s scientific, retooling revolutionary ideas sign.
Saturn like to keep things the same. As Saturn goes Retrograde expect backlashes to any forwards movements. Saturn still is the great teacher, father Times, limitations and obstacles he demands sweat equity and hard hard work. Saturn is also limits within ourselves the negativities and walls, the resistance to change which Aquarius needs to invent so life can evolve and grow in consciousness.
So do some inventory on your career direction and life plans. It’s been hard to do with Covid-19. But listen to your higher self and what you need to break free of. Saturn is still reality in whatever sign it moves through.You need to respect your own history and learn it before you can retool it.

Anyway you look at it a very powerful aspect.

A New Moon in fiery Aries at 4+ Degrees 2:28 am PDT 5:28 am EDT, 9:28 am GMT
aries new Moon conjunct Chiron Lilith and Psyche March 2020
is a major Healing of our wounds, exposing our raw vulnerability in the face of the world Wide pandemic Covid-19 virus.
The inpatient impulsive, angry warrior Aries Moon is conjunct Chiron the Wounded Healer at 5 Aries and Lilith, who wields the fiery sword at the Gates of Paradise and the asteroid PSYCHE at 9 degrees. They are all in a square to the Fated Lunar Nodes in Cancer/ Capricorn conjunct Pholus another Centaur. See my previous article.https://infinitynow.wordpress.com/2020/03/23/covid-19-astrology-and-centaur-pholus/
FIRE Symbolizes spirit, inspiration, action , passion, energy. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and it is a masculine initiator of life, The orgasm or Big Bang. This is a fiery new spiritual initiation in healing our ego and false self.
Aries is the sign of identity, the ego. The “ I Am” ruled by planet Mars, now in Capricorn where Mars gains strength in the body. Mars in Capricorn brings patience, which is much needed now. With the Sun in Aries, it’s battle time. Mars is a hot-headed angry fearless and defensive planet. Chiron points out where we are vulnerable underneath our armour. Many people may not be able to contain their anger so expect violence to erupt between now and the Next Full Moon April 7 which is just before Easter and the first night of Passover.
We are being forced to confront our egos now. Who am I really? Why do i act the way I do? Whose voice is this in my head? What am i most afraid of?
The Mars rulership also brings in Scorpio energies of death, fear of death and dying, fear of loss of control, paranoia, and conspiracy theories.
When the world is in an unprecedented lockdown because of Covid-19 we need to nurse our wounds and drop our defences. Chiron is the vulnerable parts that we hide often from ourselves and not just out in public. Aries is the first sign and is associated with the Ascendant or rising sign our public face. Chiron shows us where the greatest healing is. By going right into our wounds and our helplessness, our fears, we can find the healing balm. That is where this new fiery healing comes from. It burns up the old armour facade so we can be our true primal spiritual selves. There is a blessing here.
Lilith is fiercely independent refusing to compromise warrioress in Aries’s. Her conjunction with Chiron indicates healing and reclamation for the neglected shamed feminine shadow. Asteroid PSYCHE #16 conjunct Lilith helps us to trust our intuition and go into battle using it as our best flaming sword.
The square to the Nodes and Pholus indicates this FATED time.
SATURN is in AQUARIUS at 0 degrees
This is where Saturn and Jupiter will be in December, Saturn in Aquarius makes the chaos, big world changes, our interconnectivity and our reliance on the net a reality, We can breathe from a safe distance, and be detached from the fear and uncertainty. There will definitely be revolutions forming from this world shift. Gather with higher-minded individuals who see through the fear trap. Covid-19 is real but there is a huge battle going on for world control while this divergence is going on. We’ve been programmed with dystopian futures in books and movies about this for so long now. We need to be awake and not in fear,
URANUS is also at 4 degrees -of Taurus trine the Nodes and Pholus too puts a much more radical, chaotic spin on al this. Taurus is the stock market, real tangible goods and values, tools and necessities. Revolution is fomenting shall we say. What we value hs been rocked.
ERIS the Goddess of Disturbia is squaring Jupiter and Pluto and MARS,
this is a very heavy intense power struggle going on. ERIs lusts after bloodshed in Battle. The song that is an earworm now is Leonard Cohen’s prophetic The Future 1992,
“Get ready for the future: It is murder
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions Won’t be nothing (won’t be) Nothing you can measure anymore The blizzard, the blizzard of the world Has crossed the threshold And it’s overturned the order of the soul.”
CERES the Great Mother is in Aquarius at 20 degrees sextile ERIS
Ceres in Aquarius is detached cool but inclusive and is channelling through the net. We are finding comfort in engaging virtually in this upheaval.
NEPTUNE in PISCES and VENUS at 20 TAURUS
are lovers dreamers, offering us spiritual physical realities and escape, we need to love our bodies and physical resources, Neptune in Pisces rules being confined, addictions and mental illness. Venus in Taurus wants to indulge in sensual delights, and be a couch potato, pay attention to your body. and be love. make art, be creative, rest pay attention to your dreams. visualize yourself being strong. Be careful of addictions at this time as a way of coping with fear,
MERCURY is in PISCES at 6 degrees helping us to dream, do pay attention to your dreams,and escape while in quarantine. Read escapist fiction, learn about true spirituality and those who had to go through hard times but survived,
Vesta is in GEMINI invest in communicating,
JUNO is the lone wolf in Libra at the 15th degree. The Feminine form of wisdom, she sees in all 8 directions. Take in the big picture. The message is to trust your intuition.

we are in a growth cycle until the next full moon.
Stay healthy, stay quarantined, just because it is a gift time,

I am so sad to hear of Canadian singer and poet Leonard Cohen’s passing Nov. 10th at 82 years old. I’ve been crying already since the election announcement just like millions of others and now this. Leonard has always been one of my favorite singers and songwriters. Beloved by millions for his ruthless, honest, exploration of the heart and soul and our common human condition, Cohen’s deep baritone soulful voice made him an unlikely pop star. His career spans 50 years as a musician and many of his songs, which were never charted hits, including Hallelujah, have been covered hundreds of times.
Leonard Cohen in London in 2009
Cohen was born in Westmount Montreal to a well-off middle-class Jewish family. His name Cohen means that he is a High Priest, the most holy in the Jewish tradition. Much has been written about his life. You can Wikipedia that. He just released his last album October 13th “You Want It Darker” which is totally prophetic, as he always was, what with Trump’s election.
I have been a fan of Cohen since I first saw him singing at aLove-In at Queen’s Park Toronto in the summer of 1967 his first album Songs of Leonard Cohen was just being completed.
I swear I wrote about Leonard’s chart years ago but it seems to have disappeared. So let’s look at the modern bard’s life and death.
Leonard Cohen born September 21, 1934
Leonard was an earthy, humble, perfectionist VIRGO with his SUN rising right on the Ascendant. This is a powerful symbol as his identity is about the dawn. The Sun is conjunct the asteroid EROS, and he was known for his erotic poetry and music. Virgo is also an austere sign and he was known for living in Zen-like sparsness. He was never a materialistic person. He has a beautiful, spiritual, creative, romantic, idealistic VENUS NEPTUNE conjunction in VIRGO in his 12th house opposite his poetic spiritual PISCES MOON. He is the ultimate poet and artist of spirit.
I have put in two special asteroids. Cohen was a big fan of the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca. The asteroid Lorcia sits right on his M.C. his career inspiration at 27 Gemini, the Pole star. Cohen’s career was to be the pivotal guiding star using his words to help others navigate their lives by.
The Virgo SUN Ascendant and his Venus-Neptune conjunction display the very meticulous, self-deprecating, hard-working tenacity, and songwriter that Cohen was, sometimes taking years to complete a song. Venus-Neptune in the 12th, by its placement is the most spiritual, solitary- he lived in a Monastery for 5 years, hermitlike, dreamy, a weaver of inspirational and psalms through music.
One of my favorite Cohen’s songs is DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE
A Venus/Neptune conjunction in the 12th house is literally the end of love.
“Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin -{Venus} Dance me through the panic ’til I’m gathered safely in -{12th house} Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove -{symbol of Heaven} Dance me to the end of love ”
The PISCES Moon is conjunct to the Fixed Star Fomalhaut which marks the Archangel Gabriel the trumpet blower on Judgement Day. Pisces, ruled by Neptune and Jupiter in ancient rulership, is placed in his 6th house, which is naturally Virgo, gives a sympathetic exchange between the planets of emotions,compassionate and poetic dreams. The Pisces Moon governs the collective psyche the deep emotional yearning to return to source. Leonard channeled the angels messages through his music. Hallelujah.
Leonard’s PISCES MOONopposes his VENUS/NEPTUNE, squares CHIRON in GEMINI @ 9 degrees. One of the main T- squares in his natal chart. Chiron is conjunct to the Fixed STAR ALDEBARAN which is the marker of Archangel MICHAEL, the fiery protecting angel in the East. How literal is that? Leonard’s primal wound Chiron, and his vulnerability is his poetic message, which is also where the greatest healing is. He communicated as a wounded healer, directly from the Angels.
“There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. “
Mercury the ruler of Cohen’s Ascendant, all of his Virgo and Gemini planets is in his first house at 17 LIBRA which is the position of two Fixed Stars, 1. Kraz, which means the claws of the Crow star and the word Tomorrow. The word procrastinate originated with this star. Did Cohen put things off, or take a long time to communicate? yes. 2. Seginus in Constellation Bootes which means a reaper or harvester a guard or protector. The Libran influence also shows the dapper dresser and dashing figure that Cohen made. Libra rules relationships, justice, the arts, the peacemaker, go-between, seeing both sides of all issues, the light and the dark, the holy and the profane are very much Cohen themes.
Cohen was known as a Ladies Man and he had MARS in LEO, conjunct the SOUTH NODE conjunct to LILITH the Goddess of sexuality and independence in his 11th house of detachment. South Node in Leo conjunct Mars indicates a past life as a great King, {Solomon?} a natural leader, a warrior, a very powerful, fiery passionate man, heart felt, self-referential man. Mars in Leo is very sexual. Leonard was a proud but humble Lion, who worshiped women, who were strong, independent Lilith types. His women were unique, beautiful sexual free spirits, uncompromising and passionate. Mars conjunct Lilith is fatally drawn to these types and he may have had difficulty with intimacy. Leonard never married but had two children, son Adam and daughter Lorca who he named after his favorite poet, Spaniard, Frederico Garcia Lorca. His was a courageous warrior of the heart.
SATURN opposite MARS in LEO
Leonard’s songs have always been heavy, and melancholy, doom and gloom realistic. He claimed he had depression for most of his life. Cohen also lost his father when he was only nine years old. These two planets Saturn in Aquarius and Mars in Leo symbolize the alchemy of turning Lead into gold. The “great work.” This was Cohen’s work, he did this personally and in his art.
These two planets also exemplify his quote. “I have always been attracted to the voluptuousness- Mars in LEO- of austerity- SATURN.
The 2nd T-square in Leonard’s chart is JUPITER in LIBRA in his 2nd house or resources and money in square to PLUTO in CANCER in his 10th house of worldly fame and notoriety in square to URANUS @ ZERO degrees TAURUS.
JUPITER Square PLUTO in his career house indicates Cohen’s drive and desire for success and brings luck and wealth. The square involving Uranus in Taurus Retrograde is very interesting revealing Cohen’s original style of singing, the gravelly, nasal,monotone, baritone. URANUS in TAURUS is a nontraditional sensualist, a way-shower, and radical freedom lover who is grounded in the world. Uranus in Taurus Retrograde in this T-square also indicated his financial ups and downs and losses late in his career forcing him to go on word tours in his 70’s to make money.
Note the asteroid Mariana conjunct to Cohen’s JUPITER in LIBRA. Oneof his most famous songs was “So long Marianne.”
PLUTO in CANCER is very sentimentaland close to his childhood. Cohen had two children and althoug he said he didnt want them originally. He said he was very glad to have them as they were his closest companions now. Cohen always kept his apartment in Montreal even though he lived in the U.S. for many years. He also loved being near water and in the 60’s he lived on the Greek Island of Hydra.
SATURN Retrograde in AQUARIUS in his 5th house of creativity, love affairs and the arts. Cohen is a total revolutionary, non-conformist in the bone. He was born that way. Saturn rules both Capricorn andAquarius in traditional Astrology. He honored tradition, his Jewish past, the bible, Jesus, but is not bound to the tradition. Saturn, the father, his karma, limitations, obstacles, maturity and legacy is in TRINE to Jupiter in Libra. These two planets balance each other out very well.
SATURN sextile JUNO on the GALACTIC CENTRE @ 27 degrees SAGITTARIUS
These two form a YOD or finger of GOD to PLUTO in CANCER in his 10th house. JUNO is the feminine form of Genius, and all good poets have a MUSE. In a mans’ chart Juno would be one indicator of his MUSE. The GALACTIC CENTER is a vast black hole at the center of our Galaxy. It is mysterious and dark and to those who are tuned into it receive mystical insights into the nature of our souls and ou life’s missions. Cohen channeled his art in a unique yet traditional way, through Saturn structure, folk music and traditional Greek instruments, poetry, and as a modern bard. This was his soul’Pluto’s mission.
AT HIS DEATH NOVEMBER 7, 2016
Cohen died November 7th in Los Angeles with his children there. No cause of death has been given yet, The news wasn’t reported until the 10th. I find his exiting the planet pre-Trump election to be very significant.
SATURN Lord of death @ 15th degrees Sagittarius is conjunct to the GREAT ATTRACTOR calling him home. Saturn is squaring Cohen’s Neptune Venus in Virgo. Saturn is also opposed to Cohen’s Chiron in Gemini, he had been ailing for the last while. He knew he was going to die soon.
VENUS at 23 Sagittarius is squaring Cohen’s Sun. A message of love from the Galactic Center.
Transiting Mars in Capricorn was opposite his PLUTO in Cancer which signifies death. Heart failure is a likely cause.
Transiting Pluto in square to his natal JUPITER in LIBRA with transiting URANUS opposite to JUPITER. Death may have come very swiftly which is a blessing.
Cohen was having his 7th JUPITER return now. This is a peaceful death. Cohen had lived a very full, very creative life. Jupiter is the King, symbolizing God, he was ready to go home.
Leonard Cohen left the world with NEPTUNE and the South Node on his Natal PISCES Moon. Neptune is opposite to his Natal Neptune. The North Node in Virgo conjunct to his natal Neptune/Venus. That’s one amazingly beautiful spiritual escort back to source for sure. In his last album just released in October Cohen sang ” I am ready my Lord. “
We will all surely miss the great poet. I know he is finding out if that Chord pleases the Lord. His music will always inspire us and help us to express what we can’t put into words. The music for many generations already and many yet to come. Thank you Leonard. As a Canadian we have lost a legend. I send blessings to his family, son and daugher. I will say kiddish prayers for him for the required 7 days as is Jewish custom. The flag in Montreal will fly at half- mast today in Quebec on the 11th on Remembrance day to honour its departed son. RIP Leonard. I know you have been danced to the end of love.
