Retrograde Saturn is forming a trine to my natal moon again today. It’s interesting to me that when I first discussed this aspect back in April, I wrote the following passage:

“I’ve been dealing with a lot of people who rarely act their age when it comes to taking on responsibilities that are their own to bear. I’m not their mother or their father, and I shouldn’t be the first person that they come to when they need help to clean up the messes they’ve made.”

Even though I’ve got a week off, I’ve been putting out a few fires at work. For the most part, though, the people who work for me have been quick to jump in and help because I have trained them to jump in and help. The “emotional maturity” that characterizes this uncommon alignment is something that I have imparted upon my staff. I’ve also been working with a manager who also behaves like a grown-up. We make a great team.

This aspect recurs one more time just after the new year arrives, during a week when I will actually become one year “older.” I’m looking forward to it because that’s another time when I’ll probably have a few extra days off. Knowing that I can leave my responsibilities in the hands of others means a lot to me, but most of all it means that I’ve been doing a good job and leading by example.

As Oscar Wilde said “With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.” I can thank my lucky stars that as I grow older, I not only seem to be growing wiser, but also more confident in my ability to age gracefully. Like any Capricorn with a Cancer moon, I’m just here to show the rest of you how it’s done . . .
