Sun square Saturn today, full Moon squaring Saturn in a couple of day's time.  This is the crunch point at the tangible.  Saturn rules structure and form amongst other things, so if the time since September/October of last year has been giving you grief, then this next few days is decision time.  Cut your losses, let go of those things and people that aren't working then you'll have a lot more energy to put into those things that are.  Right now is not a time for growth and expansion, it's a time of weeding and pruning and clearing the decks so that the future can come in without having to negotiate old baggage.  And - go here, best yet.  Saturn on the Ascendant brings a dour yet practical side to life - these people are born old and get younger as they get older, but they've got to get to forty first.  They grow old disgracefully after they've been successful due to their constant mantra of ‘hard work, hard work, and yet more hard work'.  Not lighthearted or flippant, but the epitome of responsibility and solidity.  And they make good manic depressives on the side.  Eva Braun, Sean Connery, David Essex, Alex Haley, Frankie Howerd, Lyndon B Johnson, R D Laing, Rush Limbaugh, Monica Seles, Ariel Sharon, Tom Waits.
