\"\"<\/a>I found Diane\u2019s recent post<\/a> on Saturn and Neptune interesting because I have these two planets conjunct in my chart, straddling my Sun. Diane\u2019s post is entitled \u201cProductive creativity\u201d and she writes, \u201cIt takes these two very different planets working together to make the intangible tangible \u2013 pragmatic Saturn is the best at harnessing Neptune\u2019s dreams and visions and producing marvelous works of art, music and dance.\u201d \u00a0Saturn is the left brain, with its focus on logic and discipline and hard work; Neptune is the right brain \u2013 artistic, flowing, spontaneous.<\/p>\n

She goes on to say:<\/p>\n

Having Saturn in aspect to Neptune natally does help. Some of the hardest working, productive artistic types I know have a Saturn-Neptune conjunction usually in aspect to a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars). These are the folks whose lives revolve around their particular form of artistic expression. They seem to draw inspiration from the very air they breathe and use it to start working on their next creative project\/piece . . . amazing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s interesting to hear this description because from the inside, what this feels like (for me at least) is an intense drive (from Saturn) to keep pushing out the creative product (Neptune) into a form that will have some sort of use in the world (Saturn once again). \u00a0And when the Sun is involved as it is in my chart, this process is essential to one\u2019s sense of Self and well-being. \u00a0It feels rather relentless and oppressive, and makes it difficult to relax into a more enjoyable experience of allowing one\u2019s creativity to flow with ease.<\/p>\n

Conjunctions are funny aspects \u2013 the experience of them differs widely depending on the nature of the planets involved. \u00a0Because Saturn builds form and Neptune dissolves it, these two are not natural allies and I often feel a struggle between the spontaneity of Neptune\u2019s creative flow and the rigid taskmaster of Saturn\u2019s pressure to succeed. \u00a0But when I embrace the gifts of these two planets and welcome them both into my psyche, I am grateful for the balance that results.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
