The Return of Saturn

This has been a reoccurring theme as of late because I am I fact turning 30 this year and also getting married. The return of Saturn is defined as “an astrological phenomenon that occurs at the ages of 27-30, 58-60, and finally from 86-88, coinciding with the time it takes the planet Saturn to make one orbit around the sun. It is believed by astrologers that as Saturn "returns" to the degree in which it occupied at the time of birth -- approximately every 29.5 years -- a person crosses over a major threshold and into the next stage of life.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_return.

Take heed of this information. I realize that not everyone believes in astrology but I however do not believe in coincidences. There is to much relevancy to this asrtological phenomenon. The problem is that some people still tend to be so conveluded in their judgement and self realization that they still think they are doing the right thing. If you are worse off today then you were at the beginning of your 29 year point then you have not clearly assessed your life. Just because you may have changed one thing- job or location or something like that, have you really changed your bad habits? You know, those things we do that lead us to the same frustration and misery. Are you still letting others (men/women) manipulate you? Are you still trying to fix damaged people? Are still going against your better judgement just to not make others upset? These are the structures your life has been built upon so far and if these strucutres are unsound and not leading you to a place of joy and fullfillment then you are doing something wrong! I have said it a million times before but you are the one who makes or breaks your life. You for the most part can control your own happiness. The hard part is realizing that your operating system, which you are so comfortable with, may need to be changed. But once you realize it and jump in with both feet the rewards are much greater. You no longer have to make excuses for your behavior or that of others. Isn’t that liberating?
