The Big Beast to deal with\u00a0with this week is the Saturn-Neptune Square.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, let’s get one thing straight: no one in their right mind like squares.<\/strong> Decades of astrologers have struggled to make old-school astrology more accessible and, honestly, more humane. Traditional astrology tend to be filled with a lot of doom and gloom-y terminology and thinking, and yes that’s probably not a good thing.<\/p>\n

But squares\u00a0still suck.<\/strong> Those of us who try to communicate astrology to the larger world will often tell you that it “brings challenges that have rewards once mastered,” or that they “can lead to spiritual advancement by overcoming challenges.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, you go ahead and call your flooded basement an “indoor pool” all you want… it still means that everything stored down there is getting plenty of water damage.<\/strong> Changing your terminology can change your approach to it, but no matter how much you tinker with the wording, squares are still not cromulent,<\/a> even if they embiggen<\/a> your soul somehow.<\/p>\n
