Death and Transformation

This morning I drew a card with a snake and then Death not by coincidence. Death signifies transformation, a new life emerging. Really, like a snake shedding its skin.



Saturn leaves Sagittarius after spending the last three years in its wild fields. Since arriving in Sagittarius in December 2014 I have learned to adult the hard way thanks to Saturn. As a Sag, I don't want to grow up. I want to be the youngest I'll ever be, every day. But Saturn, being the authoritative and mature body it is, has pushed me to see life from a more practical view.

Sagittarius is scattered, restless, optimistic and is always looking for more, while Saturn is more structured and defined. Saturn knows its limits while Sag knows none. However, if opposites attract than this is a healthy relationship. It it is an ideal time for personal growth.

As a Sagittarius myself, things have been happening in a pretty epic way. And if what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, here I am. Change happens, but adapting to that change takes a conscious effort. Moving forward means being honest with yourself and sometimes the truth hurts.

There are still lessons to learn in the last moments of Saturn's visit and coincidentally the New Moon in Sagittarius. The moment in between what you once were and who you are becoming now is where the dance of life really takes place. This death, this transformation, this shedding of skin...will only reveal your authentic self.

I am standing at the edge of wonder where I no longer live behind hurt. I've denied myself to feel pain, but it is no longer buried. There is beauty in the ugly I've concealed, and now it is apart of who I am.
