Jupiter square Saturn: The Future Squaring Off with the Past

By Mark Borax | August 12, 2024 |

On August 19, Jupiter at 18° Gemini forms an exact 90-degree angle with Saturn at 18° Pisces, the astrological aspect known as a square.

The purpose of a square is to weigh down the gravitational pull of a situation, pressurizing it so instead of ignoring it, you take its gravity into your heart, soul, and especially body, in order to galvanize your inner forces like they wouldn’t normally do unless unless so squared or challenged.

Jupiter carries the grand scheme of the reincarnation arc of your soul from life to life, the creative force within you to live the life of the soul and none other.

Saturn holds the memories of where you’ve been, the archeological structures of past lives that your current life is built upon.

When they square, your foundation and your future challenge you to dig your heels in rather than run away, to confront rather than avoid, to ignite your higher nature rather than succumb to fear and the false security of ego.

The strange changes of our time push you to bring the full brilliance of your inner nature out into the world, and so turn the balance away from conformity and toward individuation.

When Jupiter squares Saturn the ground you stand on can become a sacred chamber of awakening.

However gritty, confusing and problematic life gets now, something deep within you was prepared for this many lifetimes ago, and current drama can help you dig in and remember who you are.

About Mark Borax

Mark Borax has been a nomadic poet his whole life. In the late seventies he traveled the U.S. and Canada performing and selling his poetry. In the mid-eighties, Mark was befriended by his adolescent idol, writer Ray Bradbury, who became his literary godfather, believing in Mark's writing even though it was taking forever. ​ ​In 1984 he became a comic book writer and the managing editor of Comics Interview magazine. In 1998 Mark rode his Harley Davidson Low Rider, through the U.S. and Europe, stopping for a year in the Tuscan countryside of Northern Italy. Mark's first book, 2012: Crossing the Bridge to the Future, is a bestseller that describes the author's seven-year apprenticeship to visionary astrologer Ellias Lonsdale. Under the redwoods in northern California they created a mystery school which birthed a new form of astrology called Star Genesis, that helps people contact their core nature and life purpose. Mark's new book (co-authored with Ellias) is a Cosmic Weather Report that inspires readers to rethink the whole purpose of humankind and bring on a new future.
