After Saturn’s first cycle, there’s a chance for the solar system’s karma
The etheric interdependence between beings and things, far from remaining as an abstract esoteric axiom, is basic to karmic matters, and can be appreciated in the different panoramas displayed on a birth chart.
At birth time, the timeline points out days, months, years and cycles of different durations, depending on the transit or progression we’re considering. Saturn’s time is the first one we meet on a karmic chart, a time firstly expressed in the Earth’s karma (aspects of luminaries) and, of course, in the system’s karma (planetary aspects). But before the first return, the system’s karma still remains unreachable in esoteric terms.
When birth karma of the Sun–Moon cycle ends, then the rings of Saturn are crossed, and other cycles of the chart (planetary ones) become more flexible in the concrete experience and contact. Before the first return, those cycles just are, and display the energy they condense although it cannot be changed until birth forms (Sun–Moon) stop retaining the vital energy. Whatever be the aspect between two planets, their karma can be appreciated by looking at the immediate conjunction previous to birth time, so the pathway both have transited since the pre-birth event can be seen.
The Moon doesn’t just have fixated itself but also the entire system… The magnetism coming out of its axis has conditioned its own expression, as well as the planetary expression, beyond the Earth, beyond Saturn. Depleting that karma is a process that follows the path of the closest physical densities: from Earth, through Saturn, and then towards the rest of the system. The same pathway has to be followed for an astrological reading of the process. And, although karma on Earth is better understood after looking at the system’s karma that holds it within, the last one is the latest karma to be depleted.
The absolute and the natal
Astrology & Karma is a series published on medium.com and includes a lot of references about the different types of karma and the way to read them on a birth chart. One of the articles mentioned Donald Trump’s configuration, specifically to describe the karma of manifestation of a quaternary related to Mercury, the North karmic ruler (Gemini). The quaternary involves Mercury and Venus (esoteric polarity, Taurus), and their oppositions, which are esoteric polarities to each other: Pluto (Scorpio) and Jupiter (Sagittarius). The emplacements (signs and houses) indicate specific karmic situations and relations.
The signifiers of karma of densification are better known, which are those of the Sun–Moon’s cycle: positions at birth, phase of the satellite, and pre & post-birth eclipses. Whereas the impulse to repeat karmic patterns is also seen by looking at the house correlation in the comparison of the solar round and the lunar round.

The graph displays inside Donald Trump’s birth chart, whereas the outer circle has been explicitly included to make it easier to see the correlation with lunar houses (clockwise progression from the North Node, red color). Time passing by densifies the energy, and the densification makes repeat birth karma’s forms, as much as the cellular reproduction goes on in a living organism.
By overlapping houses, we don't just deduce connections between life’s areas and events but also some continuities that could be easily considered as long-lasting karmas. On Trump’s chart, it can be appreciated in a strong personal development related to public activities and social status (1st – 10th houses), like “gifts” or skills to handle situations.
Saturn’s first return is another classic signifier specifically related to freeing from natal forms. That type of karma had been already depleted around the 21 years old (expressed and developed). And the last 7 years of the cycle are to free the energy previously fixated to birth forms. From then on, the magnetism of the lunar axis won’t mean a conditioning to them anymore.
The absolute and the developed
To the mentioned signifiers, a karmic reading may add a dynamic perspective by including elemental interactions across the timeline, for describing birth expression as well as later tendencies, after Saturn’s first cycle. More about it can be found in Elements and karma (A & K #11) and Dynamics of karma on a birth chart, both articles displaying D. Trump’s and Steve Jobs’ charts, respectively.
They mention the way the elements of birth luminaries interact, even during transmutational processes and related to the rising signs:
Depletion: from Earth to Fire, from Water to Air
Neutralization: Earth–Water, Fire–Air
Fixation: from Fire to Earth, from Air to Water
Update: related to the same element
Polarization: Fire–Water, Earth–Air
The deductions based on them are karma too, inside of the paradox that time shows: a present condensing both a time to be counted before and a time to be counted later, the lunar densified as cold and the solar freeing by heat.
A reincarnationist perspective also adds karmic recapitulations, like annual vital events deduced by considering the configurations of the Zodiac at rest. The perspective is especially useful for identifying specific events while birth karma is depleted during each annual development. More about it can be found in Reincarnation on a birth chart, an introductory article on medium.com, followed by a little bit deeper explanation, Karma and reincarnation in Saturn’s cycle.
The absolute and the freed
The energy freed from birth forms produces straight effects on the solar system’s karma: the liberation of the Moon is THE chance for the rest of components.
Before Saturn’s first return, the annual seasons develop consciousness, in the processes mentioned in the series Astrology & Esoterism (published on medium.com) as zodiacal tones (mental, magnetic and ātman ones). Some of the articles especially emphasised the signifiers by describing the development of each tone, which takes place along trimesters, by the impulse of specific signs, and related to the quadruplicity the sign of interest belongs to.
Although birth karma doesn’t depend on it, the process develops reflexiveness, mental magnetism and intention, which can be appreciated by reading mental, magnetic and ātman charts, respectively.
Once birth karma has ended, the planetary cycles may deplete their own karma by making use of free will. The planetary aspectations remain fixated only if lunar karma becomes dense again but, once the last one has ended, the planets begin to deplete their own. And they may even complete the process and free the energy they condense, depending on the phase of the cycle they’re expressing (although Uranus’, Neptune’s and Pluto’s cycles are quite long…).
Certainly, birth forms may be reproduced after the first return, such as they’ve been doing since birth time. It mostly depends on the frequency of free will and the characteristics of Uranus on the chart. But the annual seasons passing by don't just develop consciousness: they’re also of great relevance for depleting the system’s karma, beyond karma depleted on Earth.
Free will doesn’t just reach the energy freed from the own forms but also the energy condensed in the areas and events correlated to the lunar round. The first trimester for the development of the solar rising sign will be the counterpart to those fixations induced by the first quadrant in the lunar round (just consider both rounds follow opposite orientations). So, seasons passing by are important beyond the consciousness developed on Earth, since they produce the clear effect of decreasing lunar karmic energy, which benefits the system. In an evolutional reading of the subject, the effect must become intention.
The sign developed during the year is that of the Sun’s rising sign. On Trump’s chart is Virgo, so it involves the mutable quadruplicity. The second trimester seems critical to Virgo, since the progressed rising signs meet while the mental magnetism is deveoped, in the 5th house on both rounds! Pisces (opposed to Virgo, ruled by Pluto in the magnetic area, oriented to make matter disappear) and all related to pleasure, sons, vitality and fun, are key subjects to specify what becomes dense (always beyond Saturn’s first cycle). The moment is critical in a higher o lesser degree depending on the fluency acquired by the forms of planetary cycles.
Comment
The correlation, month by month or following any other arch division, will indicate subjects and specific events to be aware of for keeping free energy, while looking for expressing and depleting planetary karma. The arch division and the way to focus on houses (environments) and aspects (events) may be better organized after identifying the main karmic subjects on a chart. And, if counting on direct references from the native, the way to specify the seasonal forms towards free energy turns into a much more specific task (hard to find two equal readings on the same composition). Anyway, the way to correlate the circumstances and events indicated by the rounds belongs to every readers’s single style.
The absolute expression of the energy provides a lot of benefits for readers, simply because it is beyond: beyond birth karma and life on Earth. The absolute can be appreciated in the quaternaries of manifestation, in the tendencies of the lunar round (not in the round itself), in the recapitulation, and also in the products of elemental interactions due to the time paradox in which there are no states or processes.
Beyond birth time, as this article has been entitled, may refer to what has not yet been born as well as what has transcended what has been given at birth. Beyond may be at the beginning, which “holds within” what is not manifested, as well as at the end, a time for freeing although there’s nothing to be freed from…
Identifying the beginning with the end is also a matter that becomes particularly concrete when reading karma on a birth chart, as the etheric interdependence mentioned before is too. By understanding the esoteric logic that the identification expresses, then the aspectations, signs and planets acquire concrete forms in the dense and fluent, in karma and in the psychic usage of free energy.
