We are all at this thing called life creatively adapting and responding to events as they transpire. It is very difficult to know if we are responding with wisdom or preconceived ideas from past conditioning. Often we have had several encounters with people and they have been quite similar in outcome. So we think to ourself.... Ah this is very familiar. i have a good idea where this is going. But others may b sensitive enough to recognize we r on to them and change their behavior accordingly. And then too, admittedly, we all live in the headlines and stories generated in our own heads. But quite often people do not take the time to understand the weirdness of others and just write them off before fully comprehending their behaviors.
Saturn's function is slowing your pace down with friends and groups so u may learn wisdom from such activities. This is because it is placed in your 11th house of friendship, group activities and hopes and dreams. It is not meant to put a damper on such things but as a way to come to terms with who you really are in regards to these activities....not what u have come to believe. And so it is with me... i to am learning who i am with regard to relationships. Not who i have imagined myself to be.
It is a wonderful school we are in here Eric. We have so much to learn in such a short period of time. i recognize our differences. Lucky for us we have so many sympathies and recognitions from the past that have kept us together for many life episodes that transcends these environmental contingencies. That makes us also aware of the challenges that are inevitable between all people who love one another and work at relationships and getting along. It is much more meaningful when people come together with the same aspirations.
hi steve,
i think i've witnessed this recently
When we are put in positions of authority or control over others- however small or large that power may be - it certainly has consequences to our spiritual lives. It is often difficult to know when to have a displinary attitude and when to just let everything go without any intervention and in the process also see things deteriorate and watch others either consciously or unconsciously take advantage of us and our friends. While we may be guilty of the same. Some of those around us at times have little or no consideration for the wishes and feelings of others. Is it for us to make such observations and act upon them? If so when?
