Interesting that you don’t think you express yourself well, Adam. I think you are one of the most articulate astrologers/people I’ve heard and you have an incredible way of creating vivid examples that have allowed me to develop into a far better astrologer. As a once Eng Masters student and now an English teacher, I’ve always felt the a similar way, but I have mercury conjunct Uranus so it’s a little different issue 🙊🫣
How cosmically timed to feel like you’re “loosing your words” when discussing Mercury square Saturn and limitations. The most beautiful expressions of the astrological universe are often the most mundane. 💖
I've been journaling and crying in the morning - some deep wounds are so hard to express/process with words, but what helps is the intention to let it come out in whatever form even if it's limited, and compassion for the limitations. Thank you for this video, which clarifies the energy for me❣
I am 65 and so many of these astrological events reflect life long issues. The last eclipse was on my ascendant/SN/BML and goodness knows what else. These videos are so helpful. Thank you!!!❤
I find that you are excellent at expressing yourself. You put a lot of effort in to ensure that you are understood to the exact degree that you mean something.
Very true about mercury square Saturn. Not only is my Mercury square Saturn, but it is T-square with both Saturn and Mars. I’ve spent my life trying to figure out how to write and speak not in spite of this configuration, but because of it.
#grabed I am a student in your 1st year class, getting ready to embrace 2nd year! I still don't have all the theory in my basket. I have a 9th house mercury in Pisces square a 12 house Mars in Gemini. It has always taken me more time to assimilate information it has to bubble up from the depths, and then it can be seen and articulated. I loved hearing today that I am lined up with the energy available to me to dive into year two, knowing that the theory will begin to assimilate! Hooray! I am also in the process of doing some personal therapy balancing the emotional and the logical. ☘️
Love so much of what you said hear. I've had so much come up, during ac time when I just wanted to be studying year one. BUT, the one thing I can be happy about, is I know what I don't know now. And I no I can't study watching my computer screen, without also being able to fidget or doom scroll and have music playing. ADHD and autistic. I need 3 screens. Language; I understand now that I was selectively mute. Hence, I love language. I can write so well. I can barely string a sentence together. Can't name the fridge or spinny clothes things. I write notes to my dr now. Last week he said "When did you write this? There's uncharacteristic spelling mistakes." It was nice to have it acknowledged that I usually write- with pen and paper (not typing posts) very well. I wish we still had encyclopaedias!!
8:34 Ahhh I felt this in my chest 😭I have this aspect in my chart Saturn on my ASC squaring Mercury in the 4th…And it is the most frustrating thing for me to figure out ways to feel heard or understood
Omg!!! I have been following astrology for years, I have been working on myself for many years, I understand many of my blueprints, I am a professional Ayurveda Practitioner… etc… And I have just understood something soooo critical about myself from this video .. Thank you!!!
I compare this transit a bit like Saturn in Gemini, which I have in my chart. I really had to train my speaking, reading, writing skills in my younger years and it was hard work 🥵 Fortunately, I have come to terms with it and today I work with communication and administration ☺️
My birthday is this week. Sun, ME square Saturn. Been weight lifting to gain muscle mass as I age. I’m 62 yrs. I came up to a place in my understanding of how much weight I’m capable of…(owie😂)….am learning my limitations and how to move gently thru them. Amazing that you mention this today. Just yesterday I told a friend about this.
Mercury on Aqua sq Saturn in Taurus...became some of my professors fave student writers, loved public speaking on high school, yet struggle today to find the words to write amd speak. Thank you for sharing your experience with this aspect. You are an inspiration!
My husband has Saturn conjunct Mercury in retrograde. It's a struggle sometimes. 😆 But I have Mercury in Virgo conjunct my Sun so I try to help him out.
This episode really spoke to me. In my natal, there is a sign-based square between Saturn and Mercury. Also in the midst of my Saturn return and I guess now a Mercury return
Sun/Tau, Asc/Pisc here: this moment reminds me of when I was a kid playing with a magnifying glass. We would focus the light over a fallen leaf to burn it. We could burn lines like a laser if we wanted to. Like now; focusing the light
Saturn can be seen as a weight. And a Saturn square can be seen as having to lift weights - and therefore you may grow strong in that area. The challenge turns into its opposite. Despite your struggles, your communication skills are impressive.
#grabbed My children brought home an injured fledgling crow. The fine for keeping wild birds is 50k or not less than 1 month of imprisonment. The bird is injured and most likely will not survive on its own. There are no rehab facilities within a 14 hour drive that will take the bird. I was told to make a nesting box and put it in an area where it was found. It will not survive. I’m currently working through to explain this situation to my children. I have Pluto scraping across my descendant line currently retrograding back into my 6th house. The current mars square to Pluto transit is also opposing my natal Saturn conjunct Pluto in the 3rd house. Gross times .
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Adam. I may not have Saturn square Mercury in my birth chart but I have too much water in my chart and have been quoted as too emotional. I find myself having hard time with fire people for instance. Having Venus and Mercury trining Pluto and the moon, for me, surface level convo are not as exciting, but I know do lack groundness. My personal planets opposes Neptune, therefore I feel like I easily misunderstand people or some people don’t really get what I’m trying to say. Astrology (and your insights) has made me see those things and to work on them. Thank you 😊
Fascinating that you have mercury saturn square. If there is anyone good with words its you. Even if you struggle you hit the mark. Going thru most of what you touched on. Thanks!
😢mercury in scorpio in 12th..nobody hears..saturn in aquarius 3rd so I write,send..lots of lost mail😂😂😢I always loved the message in a bottle,pirates as a child😂
I have mercury opposite Saturn in my chart my Mercury is also almost on my sunshine Saturn is currently on top of my Jupiter and mercury and the sun are where they were when I was born so it should be an interesting week
you and I share similarities, particularly the Taurus ascendant, and though I don't have mercury sq saturn, I have rx chiron 2h gemini. from what I understand, its challenges are like mercury-saturn, in that I rarely feel understood/that I've adequately explained myself
#grab i am travelling through KL international. Right now...communication speakers stopped, language barriers, delays and restarts. every flight today has been delayed
Chime in with another theme? Bet. "Disintegration by the Cure." As in the song--"Disintegration" by the Cure--and the album on which it appears--"Disintegration" by the Cure--and also as "in the horrid experience of dissolution or unravelling from the edges in, but it's actually a good thing". Certainly it won't be the only thing, with the journey Mercury's about to sing now--but that Saturn never said it would stay for the end; it knew it would leave you with babies and everything ;)
The course description at the end is so intriguing! You referred to the need for a basic understanding of houses and archetype’s prior to embarking on it. Is there a specific path of study, course recommendations or reading literature you would recommend to begin this journey?
Oh, I’ve been wondering about this lately but didn’t look. I wanted to knock out some reading material and I’ll read like 3 words and quickly go “nope, not today..” and it’s not at all related to not being interested, just not firing on all cylinders. Cazimi? Jupiter in Gemini? Let’s go there.. 😂 I’m over simplifying by a lot, 7 on a scale of 10. I’m sure this will be controversial cuz what isn’t, and I’ll be specific about one thing to ensure no one gets any ideas. In courses, it explains that references in texts to sons/daughters of the widow are references to the Sophia temple initiates and the decent into the underworld myths were quite literal along with being part of the initiation process. The significance of Lazarus (initiate name) was that they found the “etheric” “soul” body became densified where people were actually dying during initiation. So don’t try it. But there was a technique that could basically simulate a near death experience where the etheric would decent to the widow which is the Sophia (earth/world soul). Widow being she was the part of the Christ/solar logos separated into the underworld. There are a lot of references to sons/daughters of widows and resurrection. That topic is current in courses and the way it’s going it’ll go on past this cazimi 😂. If anyone is interested in a general idea of what the Sophia temples were like, I was reminded again of a documentary that’s intentionally made free called Aluna, it’s a doc made by the Kogi to teach basics of their spiritual practices. They’d fall into the spectrum of sons/daughters of Sophia and sons of Abel, we fall into one of two, but primarily (don’t get into moral judgment) sons of Cain. Its polarity, descents of Cain just refers to builders; there’s no moral inference. A lot is said about the United States and the free masons being the sons of Cain lineage just in that they build countries and monuments. Though, the founders were “good guys”, light and dark practices are the exact same ones and it goes on about how free masons have lost the tradition. Something like building the pentagon using sacred geometry is a sons of Cain thing related to the pentagon geometry is about protection, but you can also see it’s kinda lost its way. I’ve been wondering as I’ve kinda stalled out temporarily. I’ll literally stall on the appendix thinking “I’m not going to retain anything I read, it just isn’t going to happen today”.
Cap rising mercury in my 6th Saturn 3rd and for my libra sun mercury in my 9th Saturn 6th We found out on last weekend that my tenant can't pay the rent again this month we rely on that money to pay our mortgage it's half of it and we have had alot of tention with money for a long time anyway so the bank has reached a peak in helping us and I am forced to sell my house I sat crying wondering what I was going to do I have 3 small children and while sitting and talking to my husband we have decided to immegrate to the states to be with his brother over there.. It was literally a sad and hopeful week because I think it will be better over there for my children and we are hopeful that work will go well there too
You kinda have to experience things yourself, because the situations leading to events there are understandings of how, why, etc things could get to extremes. Even people like Hitler.
7:06 - "I'm losing my words" - What a great Mercury square Saturn moment 😄
I was just expressing compassion for someone, sharing that "she didn't know she didn't know" and it's okay because now she is doing better.

These are great! As a Saturn square mercury native, the overcompensating is real!
Bingo! The last several days I have felt and thought many aspects of a family situation and this video rings true. Thank you Adam.
Ty Adam,,💫
Good one, Adam. This transitive time seems to be carrying a heavy emotional load of expression. We will go with it.
OMG seeing extreme negative thinking in those around me, and nothing I say helps at all. So it seems Saturn also blocking my words of encouragement.
My husband has Saturn conjunct Mercury in retrograde. It's a struggle sometimes. 😆 But I have Mercury in Virgo conjunct my Sun so I try to help him out.

Yes this surprised me too.
What do you think about travel in these days? With the position of mercury
So good! Thank you... Birthday today so paying close attention to your thoughts knowing this will be an important theme in my life this year. ❤
I ran into this wall last night…already let loose lol
Really helpful - thank you 🙏

I am realizing that I actually need others to understand me, know me - sometimes it's okay to see it that way.

Thank you Adam always for the amazing vídeo♥️
I cracked up watching Adam (with Mercury square Saturn naturally) get tongue-tied and exasperated trying to articulate the meaning of this aspect.
You are most definitely a wordsmith, my friend! 🎉

Hi. I believe it means you need to have a good foundational understanding of Astrology.
Oh, I’ve been wondering about this lately but didn’t look. I wanted to knock out some reading material and I’ll read like 3 words and quickly go “nope, not today..” and it’s not at all related to not being interested, just not firing on all cylinders.

We found out on last weekend that my tenant can't pay the rent again this month we rely on that money to pay our mortgage it's half of it and we have had alot of tention with money for a long time anyway so the bank has reached a peak in helping us and I am forced to sell my house I sat crying wondering what I was going to do I have 3 small children and while sitting and talking to my husband we have decided to immegrate to the states to be with his brother over there..

My two expressions for this time period: "Hazmat Barbie", "Don't waste the Pretty (Mind)!"
Hazmat Barbie!
This is my natal. Mercury Aries Saturn cap
Mercury in Taurus square Chiron in Pisces 18 with Saturn at 4 Pisces. What to make of that?
Saturn is squaring my Sun in Gemini & opposing my Virgo moon😂.
Natal Mercury retrograde zero
degrees Leo.
You kinda have to experience things yourself, because the situations leading to events there are understandings of how, why, etc things could get to extremes. Even people like Hitler.
Any comments on the new government of South Africa?? I think they could do with some help....! 🤔
