The Sun Squares Saturn as Jupiter Approaches Its Death & Rebirth Moment!

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Today, we're going to take a look at the sun Saturn square that is coming through this weekend, and prepare ourselves for the Jupiter cazimi that is happening at the start of next week. These two things are happening back to back, and are therefore related to one another.

So we're going to take a look at that today and how that works. Give you some things to watch for before we get into it. As always, remember to like and subscribe. I hope that this is a home for your daily spiritual practice of astrology.

On that note, if you watch regularly but are not yet subscribed, it's free to do so, and it really helps us grow transcripts of any of these daily talks, of course, are on the website, Nightlight astrology.com.

This is your last day, I guess tomorrow, technically, to register for the year one course that begins on the 22nd. It starts this weekend. Check out the first year course page. It's not too late to join, though you should try to get it in today with your registration.

If you have not yet, you can learn everything there is to know about the program on this page. This is the very last day that we'll be running the informational video about the course at the end of the daily content. So you can also check that out for more information.

Tuition assistance is available. If you need a little help to make the program happen, please feel free to apply for tuition assistance. It's there to make sure that people are not priced out studying something sacred.

The last thing I should mention is this: this weekend we also have our Solstice gathering. So if you go to the website and go to the events page, click on live events, RSVP, come join us in Minneapolis for a solstice meditation and time of community.

Saturday night, it's free to attend—just RSVP, so we know you're coming on the Live Events page on the website. Okey dokey. Well, let us now turn our attention to the real time clock.

Here we are, and we're coming in through the weekend. We're going to see that Sunday, June 22, while Jupiter is still completing its square to Neptune. By the way, check out that content if you missed it from earlier this week.

The sun will be squaring Saturn. The other thing that's happening very tight together is a Mars Jupiter sextile, kind of an invigorating little connection between Jupiter and Mars that can be very fertile, practical, useful, effective in getting things done.

We're not really going to focus on that sextile today. We're going to focus on the square between the Sun and Saturn, because the other thing that I want to point out is just how close the sun is to Jupiter.

This means that Jupiter is going through its death and rebirth that takes place with the cazimi. If we go forward this week to Tuesday, June 24, that rebirth of Jupiter is taking place, and then just the next day, we'll have the 24th into the 25th, the new moon will come through right on top of the cazimi.

We are going to be spending a significant amount of time looking at that on Monday and Tuesday of next week. But what this means is that the sun square to Saturn. Remember, Saturn is in the superior position to those planets in cancer.

The superior square from Saturn to the sun is taking place as the sun is conjoining Jupiter, effectively resetting the life cycle of Jupiter. Jupiter is exalted. It's in its own chariot. It's protected from the worst of the combustion.

So it's not quite like Jupiter's dying. You know, like in some of the other videos, we've talked about how synodic resets are like a death. But in this case, the reset between the sun and Jupiter is not as difficult as it might be, because Jupiter is in its own exaltation.

So still, we are getting a very strong new moon that is coming right off from the sun square to Saturn, Jupiter square to Saturn, and Neptune. The sun will also square Neptune to start the week.

So it's a very significant upcoming cazimi and new moon that is coming right off from the sun square to Saturn. So that gives it a lot more depth and a little bit more nuance that we're going to try to break down.

I'm going to give you five things to watch for—in no particular order—that I would not be surprised to see as archetypal themes, given sun in its or Saturn in its fall in Aries in the superior square to the sun and cancer as that reset of the new moon and the Jupiter cazimi is taking place.

So number one would be a burden that shapes a new beginning. You've heard me speak recently on the channel about the fact that Saturn in Aries can provide challenges for things in their youth, their birth, or their initial stages of development.

It's like an entrepreneurial project that gets caught up in red tape at the county office trying to get all the permits that it needs to get off the ground. Oh, this is going to delay our opening. Saturn in Aries can provide limits, setbacks, delays and things that require a lot of patience.

There can be a lot of frustration and irritability in a fire sign like this, especially Saturn being in its fall, and those things can come around the initiations of new things that a cardinal sign, like Aries, is trying to accomplish.

Put that alongside of Jupiter in the very fertile cardinal sign of cancer that also likes to birth things—both signs, signs on the light half of the year that are associated with spring and birth and life.

Now you have something that could sort of double down on the themes of a burden, a difficulty, an obstacle, a hitch in your giddy up right when you're trying to get something started, or a new beginning that is just kind of peppered with a little bit of Saturnian difficulty in general.

So that's one way that I would look at this sun Saturn square—meaningful impediments. I say meaningful because I am kind of a cosmic optimist, in the sense of trying to remain curious, grateful and open when various obstacles come along.

That's easier said than done, depending on the magnitude of the difficulty. But that's the attitude, ideally, that I try to embrace as a part of my spiritual practice. I'm sure many of you are similar.

So when we see the sun getting that square from Saturn—of course, Sun is the light in a sign of cancer, conjoining Jupiter—there's a very powerful, fertile new beginning that's coming through. It's going to be receiving a little bit of a check from Saturn.

So watch for that burden that comes at birth. I could also see this—Saturn provides endings and finality. When the sun enters cancer and Jupiter is also about to die metaphorically, there's a sense of maybe a powerful moment of finality, resolution, closure or endings.

Those might be difficult, but given that there's this powerful reset, cazimi, New Moon happening around an exalted Jupiter coming off from the square, makes me feel like any kinds of endings or harder conclusions or moments of resolution or sort of metaphorical death could really be filled with a silver lining.

I would look for that because of the exalted status of Jupiter. Are you going to get a little hip check from Saturn that comes in terms of finality, endings, closure, death, that kind of hard, wintry part of Saturn? Yes, but watch for a silver lining that's unexpected, perhaps, that comes with it.

That's another thing that I think would be very consistent with the symbolism of these planets in these places.

Number three, remember that Saturn often represents the old, the established, the traditional, the old man, or the senex—very Saturnian. Saturn is in a sign of youth. It's squaring Jupiter, a planet that was, by contrast, associated with youth.

Not surprisingly, it's Zeus Jupiter who overthrows Kronos Saturn as the young replacing the old in Greek mythology. So the conversation between these two planets right now in their square—but to speak of the reset of Jupiter and the fallenness of Saturn in a youthful sign like Aries—generational conversations, or conversations between older or more established things, traditions, structures, ideas, people, leaders and a kind of youthful response.

A conversation between generations, ancestrally and within families or groups, could be one way of looking at this sun Saturn square that's engaging the Jupiter Saturn square and resetting Jupiter cycle.

Number four, what threatens or deepens our bonds? The Cancerian New Moon with Jupiter cazimi in the midst really speaks to me of the deepening of emotional commitments and bonds in our life, whether that's family, friends, people in the workplace, emotional commitments to the things that you love or are doing with your life as a matter of calling.

It's the life of a parent. It's the life of someone who nurtures something—could be plants and animals, or could be a craft or a skill, wherever there's a devotional, nurturing kind of connection with something in your life.

You really care about it, you have to remember it, constantly care for it, and there's a lot of upkeep involved. The attachments to those things are often a unique feature of how those aspects of our lives deepen.

For example, with astrology, I will go through phases of deepening my love and my bond and my connection with this language. It's as though suddenly I'm falling in love at an even deeper level, and the intimacy is deepening in a way that only time and experience can do.

And it's like that in human relationships or relationships with animals or children—all facets of life that deepen and strengthen our bonds and connections over time.

Jupiter in the sign of cancer at this moment of sort of synodic reset between those planets, with Saturn coming from behind in the superior square—I would look at this as something that is very serious, that's maybe a little heavy, but that, if approached in the right way, will stand to deepen our bonds.

There's nothing like crisis and challenges and hardships that have to be faced in meaningful ways with other people, that deepen our relationships with other people.

I'm thinking right now about something really simple, which is, we got this new puppy, early start to his life. He breaks his leg. Very Saturn in Aries, by the way, in terms of the young start prohibited by, like, a broken bone.

You know, it's like, I've been meditating on that a lot with this little puppy. We're taking care of him, and I've noticed that between myself, my girls, Ashley, my wife, all of our relationships have, in a way, deepened because of having to care for this new member of our family who's like, all jacked up.

He's all messed up. No, I'm kidding. He's doing better. He actually got his cast off, so he's gradually on the mend. But you see those kinds of difficulties that can actually deepen our bonds and connections to one another, that can fortify and deepen and intensify emotional union.

On the other hand, Saturn in Aries, again, with the Neptune there as well, both in the superior square, can threaten. And so we have to be careful that we don't become reactive and irrational and we overcompensate in our response out of fear.

We have to be careful not to let fear and paranoia and anxiety about something maybe that's threatening us take the steering wheel. We have to have balance, measured, thoughtful, caring responses—yes, to anything that threatens.

But don't, you know, it's like, don't clutch so hard that you end up making the situation worse because you let your fear drive the response more than a courageous, heart-centered, thoughtful way of handling something that you feel is threatening.

The Saturn superior square can intensify and deepen our bonds and connections to meaningful things in our life. When we take those challenges and respond from the heart, then our connections can deepen. I think anyway, that's just another way of thinking about it.

Number five, facing fears with emotional courage. I was basically, I actually just dovetailed into this, didn't I? But on this level, when I see the sun squaring Saturn, Saturn in that superior position where Saturn represents something that feels very final or limiting or hard or severe or harsh, or maybe authoritarian or oppressive, even or suppressive.

You know, how do we respond to that from a place of being both vulnerable but strong? That's a cancer sun. I'm a cancer sun. I feel like that's been a lifelong lesson for me—how to be strong but caring, how to be a sensitive person but a strong person, well-boundaried attachments that are meaningful but not like veering into needy or problematic attachments.

Those kinds of things—we have a chance to grow so much in our emotional intelligence, to safeguard and protect things without being bullied. You know, it's like, how do you stand up to something that is scary or feels threatening?

Well, there's a great opportunity here for resilience, emotional courage, and really, to be the bigger person, even when, if you're facing something within yourself, a voice within yourself—be the bigger person.

I don't know exactly what that means, but the way that I see it is usually, it means peace, patience, compassion, kindness, tolerance, forgiveness—these virtues that so many spiritual traditions talk about.

When we call on those things with both kindness and firmness, when responding to oppressive things or ominous, scary things—people or forces or energies—that's when I think we're at our best as humans.

Of course, that's just my take on it. I might be biased because I'm a cancer sun. Some of these things have been very personal lessons for me to learn along the way.

But anyhow, those are the things to watch for, given this sun square Saturn coming right before the cazimi on Monday and Tuesday. We're going to talk at length about the Jupiter reset and give you some things to watch for a little bit deeper, some takes on the new moon and cancer.

So it's a really powerful start to the next week. And then before you know it, we're going to have Uranus, who's culminating at the anaretic degree of Taurus, moving into Gemini, so that the outer planetary action doesn't stop, guys. It just keeps going.

Anyway, this is the last day that you will be able to register for the first year course. Technically, you could register into tomorrow. We start on Sunday, so after I sign off, you'll get that informational video one last time, and I hope to see you guys in class soon.

If you have any last-minute questions, email us: info@nightlightastrology.com. Hope to see some new students and faces in classes this weekend. I can't wait. I hope you're having a good one. We'll see you again soon. Bye.
