Saturn At Opposition

February, 2007

The planet Saturn came into opposition on February 10, 2007 .   When an outer planet reaches opposition it is on the opposite side of the earth than the sun, or 180 degrees from the sun and very near its closest approach to the earth for the year.  The planet is also seen at its brightest for the year at that time.

The chart below shows the position of Saturn above the feet of the Lion (Arieh) at the time of its opposition.

The lion represents the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and Saturn represents Satan in the war between the woman and the woman’s seed against the serpent and the serpent’s seed.  The lion’s feet are over the head of the serpent Hydra about to descend upon it and crush it.

On this same date of Saturn’s opposition, Mercury and Venus were high in the evening sky and shining brightly in the constellation Aquarius (Deli), which represents God’s blessings being poured forth on His people.  Mercury (Gabriel) was in the water urn and Venus (the Bright and Morning Star) in the water flow representing the blessings of Yahweh being poured forth to His people through His Son the bright and morning star Y’shua.  Zedek (Jupiter) was in Scorpio, which represents the war between the woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed.  Mars (represents Michael or War) was in Sagittarius, the conqueror going forth conquering and to conquer.  This is the constellation that the super-bright Comet McNaught passed through in January (see last month’s issue of Biblical Astronomy for more details)
