A reader asks:

After reading your most recent Astrology for Beginners post and in light of the Saturn energy in the grand cross, I’m wondering this: How can you tell the level of someone’s maturity from their chart?

I don’t think there is any way at all to tell the level of a person’s maturity by looking at their chart. Further, I don’t think the level of a person’s maturity is static. Not through their lives or even from year to year or week to week even from day to day.

Jupiter through Capricorn definitely benefits anyone (of any age) who manages to conduct themselves with some degree of grace but I wonder if Pluto’s transit through Capricorn with have an even more profound affect.

The soldier called within 5 minutes to ask me if I wanted to come out and wait in the truck wash line as it can take hours to get your truck washed. He was trying to peace-make which I appreciated but I saw no sense going out there when I could not return the gesture. It seemed a better idea I maintain the space because I was working on a deep level that was productive for me.

I was thinking about what I had written on my blog about going down in a well. I was thinking how good I am at this. I have spent my whole like in a well and I was thinking I ought to go on my blog and tell people how this is best done because I do know.

With a stellium in Capricorn and Saturn in contact with both Venus and Uranus it seems to me that how you fare now is entirely contingent on your relationship with reality and your willingness to go the long haul.

Integrity, maturity and commitment are the cards to have now and if you lack on these fronts you can pretty much expect to be slowly and methodically brought to your knees.
