Now that restrictive, conservative, status quo Saturn has settled into Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, sign of the emigrant, refugee, stranger, and foreigner (plus, ideals, ideologies, religion, and a need or desire to travel) we have a long haul until the old man planet of lessons, tasks, losses, and hardships enters his own sign of Capricorn in December 2017. During that period he will approach, conjoin, and cross one of the four Cardinal World Points of Manifestation, 00 Capricorn, in order to vacate Sagittarius where issues of justice, legalities, religion, and philosophy are prevalent topics in society which demand addressing.
And as we see, the desire to emigrate and forced separation from one's country are particularly denoted by Saturn in Sagittarius along with restrictions on accepting refugees who need safety and support and a closing (Saturn) of borders (Saturn again) to travelers and emigrants (Sagittarius). We also notice a tragic lack (Saturn) of wisdom (Saturn and Sag) in the political system (Saturn rules systems) though if political managers listened to those with experience and/or seniority concerning refugee issues, needy sojourners would be treated more fairly and America's ideals so long touted would be upheld like the Statue of Liberty's (Illuminati) torch of freedom. Instead we find the *Saturn-Neptune and Uranus-Pluto squares ruling the day--one indicating loss, painstaking efforts, and suffering, the other describing a generational clash between upstarts and the establishment with protest movements all around.
Here's a discussion of the "Home of the Not-So-Brave" refugee vote in Congress yesterday plus some political observations from Ed Schultz and Rep. Steve Cohen concerning 2016:
*The Saturn-Neptune pair also represents certain -isms such as Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, and such. Presently 2016 candidate Bernie Sanders fulfills that role in society as the explainer and promoter of Democratic Socialism. And if you use the late afternoon Sag rising natal chart for America (July 4, 1776) you know that Saturn in Libra and Neptune in Virgo straddle the Midheaven of the chart and of our nation which denotes a socialist agenda vs capitalism as a Goal. That transiting Saturn will come in range of and cross our natal Ascendant (11-13Sag) of that chart before the end of December 2015 into 2016 (already within orb) is something to consider since Saturn's issues of accountability and responsibility have already become prominent in the halls of Washington DC where the globalist wars that displaced the population of Syria were planned and executed from the Pentagon with the encouragement of other western (and perhaps eastern) powers.
