Thank you so much for this Monique, I am so sorry for your loss. You have put words to my experience of grief during my first Saturn square. I was a child and unable to frame it through the lens of astrology. what a divine gift we have been offered when we can find this meaning and lean on such beautiful words. I am so sorry for your loss, and hope that Saturn's guiding presence continues to bring comfort.

Thank you Sonia for your kind words and for taking the time to read my blog. I appreciate you 🙏🏻☺️. I am sorry you had to go through that and at such a young age. I am happy that you have made it to the other side. We both did 🤗.

What a beautiful piece. Thank you for truly honoring Saturn, the guardian of the Soul. I believe we must reclaim Saturn's essence to help us remember our authority over our lives, as well as to remember what true authority and mastery really are.

Thank you Kristine 🤗, I agree it’s not easy but once we allow we gain a sense of peace, resilience, courage, confidence to move forward. What Saturn is teaching me is the Mastery of letting go of what no longer serves my best and highest good

And just when I started my mini-Notes-series on planetary alchemy with Saturn, this popped up like a synchronicity. Thank you, Monique for sharing your lived experience, with such a beautiful, evocative poem!

This is a stunning, soul-deep reflection on Saturn: not as the cold enforcer of hardship, but as the wise, patient guide who doesn’t break us, but shapes us. The way the author moves from fear to understanding, from resistance to surrender, mirrors Saturn’s true nature: not a punisher, but a sculptor of wisdom.

There’s something beautifully raw in how loss and grief become the gateway to Saturn’s gentler lessons: ones of release, resilience, and quiet mastery. Not a weight, but a compass. Not chains, but clarity. This isn’t just poetry; it’s a spell of surrender and strength woven into words. Gorgeous.

Thank you so much for showing just how beautiful Saturn’s love can feel ❤️ A fellow astrologer and I have developed a practice of writing letters to Saturn, and the way it speaks back to us is just so wonderfully supportive.

What an awesome practice! Direct writing is so cool, and I'm so glad to know there are others finding joy and insight with it. Sometimes I ask planets to speak to me from Mt. Olympus, and recently I've been having fun with some more creative AI prompts.

Oh Wow! That sounds interesting how does that work if you don’t mind sharing.
