In brief: A new inner direction takes hold, and becomes a plan for action.

As Saturn comes into and passes through your Eleventh House, you should, by this point, be actively listening to the inner message that began reaching you as Saturn moved into the Tenth House. Above all, this inner message brings something new into your life, perhaps more of a feeling or tone… or a simple vibration, but something that your whole being resonates to. More than anything, this new experience is something of a vision. Many see a whole new life plan at this point.

A vision is an experience or insight we have that is more real or important to us than the rest of our life surrounding it, both before and after that event. In a moment of vision, we take into ourselves or absorb seminal information that is more than we can simply understand with our mind. It may take weeks, months, or years to decipher and realize what it means. It is analogous to what we read about in some of the sacred texts, where they speak of receiving a secret scroll into the mind, and reading (understanding) it over time. We take in a vision, and we bring it to mind, again and again, until we have absorbed its content, until we understand it.

Saturn’s transit of the 11th house is a time when we are fueled and fired by something coming from within our own mind and self, an idea, thought, plan – a strong stimulus or message of some kind. And in this house, that original stimulus or insight turns into a plan, some attempt on our part of implement whatever idea is moving us, and make it real. “For spirit must be made to matter,” is a line I wrote years ago that describes what I am getting at here. We are inspired or driven to design a plan to make our inner vision real, to make it matter in our day-to-day life.

And to do that, we look everywhere around us for help, for anyone willing to move these plans forward. In this sense, we are very community minded, not particular about who can help, but embracing all and any means to make these dreams real. Here we are perhaps at our most visionary or altruistic, way beyond any selfish or personal motives, and sincerely making an effort to help make something happen.
