Saturn asks that we take responsibility for our actions. With Saturn sextile Pluto this aspect asks how we are going to transform?
Society is a rules based system. It requires accountability from citizens and leaders alike. In SA we have seen a breakdown in systems of governance. Across all spheres of government we see a lack of accountability.
Those who have acted wrongly show no guilt, shame or remorse. Feeling guilty acknowledges wrong doing by taking responsibility. Feeling shame acknowledges wrongdoing but also recognises that you are exposed and morally flawed. Remorse is a much deeper process that acknowledges guilt, sorrow and regret for the consequences of our actions with the desire to make amends for the harm caused to others. Society needs to reflect on this personally and collectively.
Systems have been abused by those in power and authority by protecting those involved in wrongdoing and not protecting the most vulnerable.
