Dream to Action: Saturn Return & Cosmic Shifts
[3.30.25] Why it’s so hard to win the lottery? I wondered as I walked under Colorado’s big sky. We bought two tickets – we were feeling lucky since we hit our 32nd wedding anniversary.
I researched online what the take-home would be if we won. My beloved said, hey we could win both drawings. Ooh sure, why not?
It’s good to dream. Fascinating how the potential of having oodles of millions can make things feel real. I plotted how I would use the money. I told my guides that I can be entrusted with great abundance because I am very giving and benevolent.
I’d still do what I do now when I win: coaching, healing, astropsychology. It’s the work I love. In that sense, I’ve already won: freedom, time, and comfort. The more I feel such essences, the more I attract them. This gives me the faith and security to take action.
The eclipses that just took place represented big shifts. For me they focused on the wellbeing of my career (Virgo in vocation house) and my personal sovereignty (Aries in foundation house). Last Friday, I left a part-time sweatshop coaching gig. At first it was humbling, immersing myself in the corporate energy, testing approaches and frameworks.
For someone who is quick to act on values, working for a firm that exploited skilled coaches was at times agony. But 300+ professionals later, from all levels, industries, inside and outside of organizations, solos, and those retiring, I can coach anyone. That is freedom. The 2+ year there and my own practice gave me the confidence to embark on publishing a playbook about a balanced, sustainable job search.
I stayed with the gig above because I loved the clients and was gaining valuable expertise. This also coincided with my second Saturn Return (~age 57-59), a time to be challenged and reflect upon what has been mastered since the first return (~age 27-29).
Having lost a newborn at age 29, I was bracing for sh*t hitting the fan again. The second Saturn Return started to manifest last summer. It was hard. I was determined to see myself this time. I’ve since released the Old Sue who feared being deemed unworthy and undeserving.
I’m stronger, believing in my spirit and power. Stronger, knowing what I am capable of professionally. Stronger, embracing the awe when moving under the sun.
Still, the humble-pie eating continues. I was all gong-ho about finishing the job search playbook quickly. After hearing from the editor, I agreed I must slow down to cure it with my energy.
Since the project won’t be done soon, I needed to reframe the situation. Stop burning the midnight oil and return to self. Quiet time before bed (instead of forcing my brain to stay on), journaling, stretching, or Agatha Christie mysteries. Nourishing meals. Jog-walks. Connecting with good folks.
As I write today 3/30, we are coming off the new moon/solar eclipse in the assertive, action-oriented, and courageous Aries. Neptune, the planet of dreams, idealism, and unity just arrived in the same sign. The energy supports big changes, perhaps table-flipping, long overdue actions that represent YOU and your Spirit.
Empowering questions:
- What qualities would a windfall give you? How are they present in your life now?
- What do you appreciate about your life while you do something hard?
- What inspires and motivates you? What do you want to accomplish by September 2025?
- What things keep you grounded? It takes time to return to them.
- What is the risk worth taking even if you fail?
I invite you to connect on how I can support you to make things happen this spring!
May we all thrive,
Sue
