August 14, 2022: Sun opposite Saturn – Ruby Shoe Astrology
-
Decreasing incompatibility between Pisces Moon and Leo Sun (21 degrees)
-
Mars in Taurus, Pluto Rx in Capricorn (26 deg)

Mercury in Virgo Chiron Rx in Aries (16 degrees)
In contrast to Saturn, the Sun has restrictions on ego, self-expression and celebration. Those restrictions may be anticipated or there may be an external authority that says “Stop”. There will be additional responsibilities that seem to dull your brilliance and deprive you of appreciation, but the reality is that Saturn ultimately rewards you if you put in the work. Today’s pressure may focus on you so that you can become stronger and brighter in future.
For some, it could be the result or the end.
This opposition is part of the waning inconjunct which is a difficult adjustment after the August 11 full moon. So in addition to the cool shadow of Saturn Rx, the Moon in Pisces is reminding you that something must be sacrificed.
Not really a great day for pride but sometimes it just happens – you have to accept the restrictions and make sacrifices. The trick is not to give up – you are not becoming a victim, you are not giving up all your might. You’re taking on a responsibility that others may be unaware of at the moment – no applause for what you’re doing. And when it really matters – you work, you make sacrifices and no one notices, but that means it’s the real deal because you’re doing it for yourself and people at some point in the future. Will information.
Mercury’s fifth for Chiron adds to a bit more trouble. There are solutions but they must be communicated carefully. Focusing excessively on what is wrong will only add to the pain. And in some cases there may be no solution – you may have to live with the wound. Emphasizing improvement or offering “helpful” criticisms will only make things worse – tread lightly and be prepared to stop talking when someone says they don’t need help. For yourself, consider whether certain details should be left alone for a while. Bleeding the wound continuously will cause blood to come out of it.
So all of the above is sticky. Luckily, you have the mighty Mars/Pluto trine that can help you. Grounded actions can be powerful, causing major physical changes. But you must go slowly, be patient and commit to the work (which takes you back to Sun/Saturn). The effort will come easily (though not quickly) so you won’t have to struggle to make those changes. But you have to be committed. Mars/Pluto is the tremendous force that connects unconscious impulses to outward motion so once you are in the groove no one will be able to stop you.
