Governed by Saturn, the stern and authoritative planet, the second decan of Libra from October 3rd to 14th, 2023, carries the energy of challenges resulting in conflict in the world.

Saturn, known for its disciplined nature, can demand more from people. If you want things to get good, they must first go bad, And this creates the responsablity to go through thick and seen to satisfy a desire for justice.

Saturn is indeed exalted in Libra, but this means a stronger influence, and not a more positive one. Trials, tribulation, karma, restructuring, hard work, hardship, taking the hardest road, are all associated with Saturn the big teacher.

The energy of this decan is similar of that of the Three of Swords, the tarot card which Aleister Crowley and the Golden Dawn order associated with this period fo time.

People born under this decane are not the nicest people, but they possess lots of charm. Good examples are Putin and Simon Cowell.

Symbolizing heartache and emotional pain, this card serves as a reminder that things might get tough, we might lose, we might hear harsch words of criticism from others or there might be military action in certain parts of the world. The sword is always a representaton of a real weapon, and not just an intellectual one.

The Saturn influence is supposed to come from Aquarius, not Capricorn as much, but Saturn is still the planet of hierarchy and the military. Astrologers today associate this decane also with Uranus, which wants to break free but things do tend to blow up when this planet is around.

Amidst the conflicts that may arise, it is important for those born under this decan to approach them with grace and a keen sense of diplomacy. Through open and honest communication, they can navigate through difficulties and emerge stronger on the other side.

While the Second Decan of Libra may present its fair share of challenges, individuals born during this decan manage to reach high and to get away with most things.

We can only hope that next decan ruled by Jupiter or Mercury according to new astrology, there is more wisdom, peace and understandning. We will nonetheless have lots of things to contemplate and to talk about, no doubt there.

Of course besides the decan influence, there are tense aspects. The sun and Mars in Libra are in a tense aspect with Pluto in Capricorn, but also with Chiron and the North Node in Aries. It is no surprise things are as they are now. We just have to try and grow up and develop so that we can manage our tempers.
