Saturn's rule

Things Saturnian: Business and places of business, public buildings, foundations, one's profession, career, vocation, employment, bankruptcy, debts and debtors, foreclosures, one's father, elders, enduring friendships, engineers, architects and architecture, buidling and building materials, landlords, land and property, monks and monasteries, retirement, elders. Body parts: Bones and teeth.

Jazz Fest 2006, my Capricorn friend, with Mercury and Mars in Capricorn also, and I were hooking up to do the festival together. I told her I was going to find a parking spot on the street. She was parking in a lot for $25. She fussed at me with all of her Saturn, "you're going to get towed. They're towing and ticketing like crazy. I saw it on the news."

I do not watch the news and even if I had $25 for parking, it's the point with me. If there are free spots, I'd rather spend my money on something else besides parking.

An astrologer friend reminded me that those born with lots of Saturn in their chart would probably get ticketed and towed. They MUST do things correctly, with integrity, not hurting anybody or anything, or else suffer severe consequences. Knowing right from wrong is their main claim to fame. They know it from experience.

Everything worked out fine with my parking situation then. I know what signs to look for and when it is not cool to park on the street. If I have to pay - like I did for Mardi Gras - then no big deal, I have the $$ for it.

When Pluto changed signs to Capricorn on the 25th, coming home from work that night, on the longest bridge in the world, I was going 73 in a 65 mph zone. I got a ticket. I faced Saturn with my guilt. And then I realized how scary this is for some that Pluto will be in Capricorn (after Dec 08) for approximately 16 years. We will all have to be mindful and righteous, or else.

I hate to spend my hard-earned money on a speeding ticket. Nobody got hurt, nor would they have. I had complete control of my vehicle and there was no traffic on the bridge. I have learned not to argue with Saturn. It is not reasonable energy. The fact is, I went out of bounds, and Saturn's job is to pull me back in. Good or bad is besides the point.
