Second Saturn Return

With Second Saturn Return comes

the recognition that

This game called life, no longer holds

us in it's spell

It is time to use the accumulation of

Wisdom

Laugh joyously at each daily revelation of

Freedom

The wise self knows, the baggage is much

Lighter to carry, and celibacy sometimes

a gift to cherish

Learning to love the self, and disregard

fears of loneliness

Celebration - of coming into a

renewal of new ways of loving.

Finding the love of others, my spiritual daughters

Sisters, near and in far off places

Their warmth and presence, ebbing and flowing

Through my life

Our spiritual self becoming more aware of

The Magic

In our Lives

Saturn in her second phase can show us that

our time has come

Now we can play the Fool

Our eccentricities and foibles being expected

The real freedom has begun

A woman who is no longer threatening!

But wait,

There is much to be done,

Our creativity shows through, time to

explore those other aspects,

Before we commit ourselves

to the warmth and joy of

Mother Nature's Arms

Clarity emerges.
