Saturn Retro 2018: A Vale Of Shadows 02




This post has continued from the previous: Saturn-Retro-2018: A Vale of Shadows
To understand this post, read this summary: Saturn Retrograde Summary

1st June, 2018, the 45th day of Saturn Retrograde 2018, 
The last few days saw me (in)volunitarily/ customarily/ imperatively/ ritually enter/ descend.. 
into the serpentine labyrinth of annual Saturn Retrograde. 
Into the vortex of Solar/ Rajas/ Fiery energies, 
During Saturn Retrograde, the suspension/ withdrawal/ inversion 
of the usual Saturnine energies radiated upon Earth. 
Hence, the window of opportunity for all malefic Saturn horoscopes,. 
And a period of exile/ hibernation for all the Saturnine ruled.

And, being Saturnine myself, 
however much I do project/ predict/ surmise/ wax philosophical about this period, 
it's always an altogether different experience when we go through it personally. 
Every season, a layer beneath/ within ourselves is revealed. 
Like the Serpentine journey into your inner spaces.. 
The marshy backwaters of your soul.  
The inner unraveling of your past life karma. 
The ramifications of the Twelfth house of your horoscope, 
The debts owed in previous incarnations.

It's like Andrei Tarkovsky's dis-real movie Solaris 
It's like David Lynch's serpentine Twin Peaks series. 
It's what Roalnd Barthes talks of dis-real in his book Lover's Discourse. 
It's what Elliot talks of the "wastelands". 
Or what Deleuze says about the Desert of the Real. 
It's what Edgar Allan Poe talks of, about the removing of the Veil, 
Like after the effects of Opium wears off, 
in the introduction to his story The Fall of The House of Usher. 
Like entering the heart of the Sun/ Logos/ Signification 
But which but contains a void/ vacuum of in-signification within
 Such is the vast metaphysical import.. 
The cathartic significance of Saturn Retrograde.
