Saturn has been in your 4th House of Home and Family for some years now and will be there for most of the year ahead. Aside from the practical effects on the home and the family, it is bringing important spiritual lessons. And these lessons are going on in the year ahead.

Basically the cosmos wants you to learn to manage your emotional life better, to neither repress negative feelings (which only brings depression and physical ailments) nor to express them (which only generates negative energy into the universe and brings negative karma on you), but to direct them according to your will—to master them. This requires some understanding of how the emotional-feeling world works and might require some study on your part. But basically emotions will follow attention and focus. If you get control of your attention and keep it on positive and happy things, the overall mood will be better. Prayer and meditation—especially praise and worship—are like vitamins for the emotional life. The Buddhists teach to just observe and experience your emotions without expressing them. This is not repression, because you are experiencing the emotion, but you are not expressing it—dumping it on others. Thus you are not polluting the emotional environment. All the above is good, but I also like writing out negative feelings and then throwing out the paper. Talking them into a tape recorder and then erasing the tape is also effective. For many years you have been riding a career roller-coaster. Like any roller-coaster ride there are alternating thrills and fears. The purpose here was to teach centredness amidst all the career change and drama. Not to be overly elated by success, nor depressed by failure. Just to keep on keeping on. By now you have learned these lessons and are ready for the career success and opportunity that is happening.

Pluto is moving into your 8th House of Sex permanently this year. Thus you are going deeper into sexuality. It’s not just about more sexual activity, but a deeper understanding of what sex is. Unfortunately, the medical and psychological communities seem clueless about it. They see it as a mere neurological release; something physical, mechanical, chemical and emotional. But sex is much, much more than that. And you are in a period for learning more about this. Tantric (for those of you interested in Eastern philosophy) and hermetic science and Kabbalah (for those of you of a more Western bent) have much to teach about these things, and you might want to explore these.

Your spiritual mission in the year ahead (as it has been for many years) is spirituality itself. What we call ‘performing the Yoga’—making the union with the Divine within you. This and involvement in ministry, higher education, teaching and publishing (which are really side effects of the above) is your spirit’s true calling.
