This week, the energy of Saturn is strong through the transits that are taking place. On Sunday, Aug 27th, we had Saturn opposite the Sun, something like a 'full moon' version of Saturn.

My story begins in late 2014, where I found myself at a point in life where I was deeply grateful, had checked off many things on my life's todo list and yet felt disillusioned. I was an engineer at the time, and while experiencing success in my career, I knew deep in my heart that I was reaching the end of that path, but didn’t know what was next. This was the main cause for the disillusionment, that despite all the success I didn't feel content. On a quiet winter evening, after my 2 sweet chi... Read more
