ARIES HOROSCOPES

Saturn is called the great teacher in Astrology, but its lessons aren't easy to learn. They're long and tedious. Most of us equate tedium with doing something boring or mind-numbing, but tedium also allows us to master something we once regarded as beyond our abilities. It's human nature to sidestep situations we don't want to deal with or to give up when we feel like we're out of our depth, but Saturn doesn't let you off the hook so easily. It will keep placing a hurdle in your path until you clear it. And this is the miracle of Saturn. By making you face the same obstacle over and over again you get tired of your habitual responses, you grow impatient with the procrastination, the avoidance behavior, and even the feelings of helplessness. And it's in that moment of peak exasperation and exhaustion that you recognize how something you were afraid of has shrunk in size so that it now appears small and banal and infinitely manageable. Tedium takes the fear out of the equation so that you can do what should have been done all along. This is how the Sun/Saturn trine on August 6th frees you from the limits you have imposed on yourself.
