Saturn In Aries: A Jungian Perspective With Belief Is Not Required

Carl Jung was one of the first psychoanalysts to explore astrology as a value added discipline. I’ve asked Gemini AI to explore this topic. 

As with anything connected to Aries energy---getting out of your comfort zone, trying something new along with a detachment to how you’ll look is definitely advised.

Imagine for a moment that the Earth is in collectively in the eighth grade:

There’s a dance this Saturday. It has begun. No one is dancing. Everyone is hugging the walls. This and fear is Saturn, our conditioning, our lock into ‘fitting in’...Aries is a pioneering energy. As soon as one person gets out on the dance floor, others join in…, correct?

With Mystical (and Christ Consciousness) Neptune also in Aries, we are being asked to dissolve our attachment to appearances and fitting in---.

Let’s look to our early childhood. Let’s look at our conditioning. Let’s look at Pillar One of Mentors in Our Raw Material. Let’s head to our soul’s (collective) dance floor.

Contemplate the following quote by Carl Jung:

“Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.”

What’s pioneered (first step on the dance floor) becomes the values and ideals passed down through the successive generations. Aries (Mentors) to Taurus (Music) (Signs) to (Pillars). (Astrology) to (Our Raw Material).

ICYMI, I am getting on my own dance floor with new steps:

Belief Is Not Required (BINR) to Our Raw Material (ORM). Like it eventually became too awkward in readings to tell a client what part of my communication came from astrological study and chart, and what was intuitive or from the cards, this new structural beginning (Saturn in Aries) asks for a clarity of communication.

As an oracle, communication comes through me. ORM has taught me ego (BINR) and soul (ORM) balance and equilibrium.

From a Jungian perspective, Saturn's transit through Aries is a significant archetypal passage. It's not just an astrological event but a symbolic journey into the depths of the collective and individual psyche.

Here's how we can break it down

Embracing Gemini AI:

• The Archetypal Clash: Saturn, the archetype of the Senex (the old wise man, but also the shadow of the oppressor, the limiter), enters Aries, the archetype of the Puer (the eternal youth, the initiator, the impulsive force). This creates a clash between:

• Structure vs. Impulse: The need for order, discipline, and long-term consequences (Saturn) encounters the raw, untamed energy of new beginnings and immediate action (Aries).

• Individuation vs. Ego inflation: The urge to become a unique individual (Aries) is tempered by the reality of limitations and the need for self-mastery (Saturn).

• Fear vs. Courage: The courage to begin new things (Aries) meets the fear of failure and the weight of responsibility (Saturn).

• The Shadow Confrontation: Saturn's transit often brings us face-to-face with our shadow—the repressed or unconscious aspects of ourselves. In Aries, this could manifest as:

• The repressed warrior: Individuals may confront their own suppressed anger, assertiveness, or competitive drive.

• The tyrannical ego: We may see manifestations of unchecked ego, aggression, and the abuse of power, both within ourselves and in the world around us.

• The wounded initiator: Old wounds related to taking action, being seen, or striking out on one's own may resurface, demanding healing and integration. With Chiron in Aries too this can be exceedingly challenging in ‘stirring the pot’ or wounding our closest people instead of self-reflection and self-healing.

• The Individuation Process: Saturn in Aries is a powerful catalyst for the individuation process, Jung's term for the journey towards psychological wholeness. This transit compels us to:

• Define our individuality: To move beyond collective expectations and assert our true selves, but with awareness of consequences

• Integrate the shadow: To acknowledge and integrate our repressed anger, assertiveness, and ambition, rather than projecting them onto others.

• Take responsibility for our actions: To own the consequences of our choices and actions, and to develop a mature and responsible will.

Numerological Influences

To add a numerological layer, we can analyze the year 2025:

• Universal Year: 2025 reduces to 2+0+2+5 = 9. Nine is the number of completion, endings, and culmination. It suggests that as Saturn enters Aries, we are also completing a cycle, tying up loose ends, and preparing for a new phase. This completion phase can amplify Saturn's energy of responsibility and taking stock. There may be a sense of urgency to mature.

Tarot Symbolism

The Tarot can provide further symbolic insight:

• The Tower: This card often appears when Saturn is transiting challenging signs. It symbolizes the breakdown of old structures, sudden upheaval, and the need for radical change. Saturn in Aries can bring about events that shatter our illusions about ourselves or the world, forcing us to rebuild on a more authentic foundation.

• The Emperor: Aries is associated with the Emperor, a card of authority, leadership, and the assertion of will. Saturn's influence here suggests a need to redefine leadership, both personally and collectively, emphasizing responsibility, discipline, and ethical action.

• The Devil: This card can represent the shadow side of Aries and Saturn—the potential for unchecked ego, aggression, and the abuse of power. It warns us to be aware of these tendencies within ourselves and in the world around us.

In Summary

Saturn's transit through Aries, from a Jungian and humanistic perspective, is a period of intense psychological and spiritual challenge and opportunity. It calls us to:

• Confront our shadow and integrate repressed aspects of ourselves.

• Define our individuality and assert our will in a responsible and ethical manner.

• Break down old structures that no longer serve our growth.

• Evolve towards a more mature and authentic expression of our individual potential.
