Open Question: Satori’s Metaphor For Outer Planet Transits

Astrology in real life

I’m skimming through Barbara Hand Clow’s book, Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets and I came across something that made me think of a fab metaphor for what happens at an outer planet square/opposition/return. She mentioned that it was the fact of having this tremendous energy available to you, that if you weren’t ready to utilize it it was a missed opportunity. She said that when people were ready later to make a change they just didn’t have the energy available to push it on through.

That totally reminded me of those goofy Back to the Future movies. Marty and the Professor had to get the time travel car hooked up to the power source right at the exact moment or they couldn’t get where they were going. BUT it’s not like anything horrible would happen to them if they didn’t get “back in time.” they certainly could have lived out other existences wherever they were. they just wouldn’t have been their PEAK existences. Interesting.

Do you make good use of the energy available to you?

I think that particular insight was one of her clearer ones.

Ever see a person who failed their first Saturn Return and were unable to transition into adult responsibilities? Someone who missed the point of the individuation and spiritualization process of the midlife set of transits? Ever see someone who has missed the point of the Chiron return at 51 or the second Saturn return at 59? All these are psychological and spiritual growth experiences. There is just something empty about these people, failed potential, lost opportunities.

We have come into a time in our development as a species that just being born, surviving the best we can to the end of life is not enough. It used to be that spiritual evolvement was the quest of the few, now it is the mandate for all of us. It is why astrologers are more important than ever in development and transmission of the cycles of the planets and what they mean to us.

I don’t at all, I’ve failed every time. I’m NEVER ready when the world would support me in doing something. Argh. I’m a walking failure and I can’t stop myself.

I do usually, but not voluntarily. Outer planet transits usually feel compulsive to me, not so much a choice of making good use or not. Good use happens to me whether I want it or not - they squeeze every last drop out of me.

Lol, it occurred to me that the energy makes good use of ME not the other way around.
