There are things in life, important things, that take 10-15 years to show you their final repercussions. And the countdown begins after the act has been committed. These are lessons, both mystical and practical, that every young person underestimates either through arrogance or ignorance. Some Saturnians tend to know this innately, but most people don't. It is true that wisdom does not come guaranteed with age. The fool sat and waited - for he thought time would make him wiser. But there are some wisdoms for which age is an essential prerequisite. Meaning that one cannot be initiated into certain lived knowledge without actually having lived it. As you mature, you will come to understand that learned knowledge and lived knowledge are far more different than you first imagined. These are often painful truths and realizations one cannot prepare for in the sense of foreshadowing their arrival. Time is a patient teacher, and one must meet it with an equal degree of patience. Sometimes that's all the lesson really is - patience. One's capacity for calmness between important, life-altering choices. The space between is what inspires deliberation and determines the quality and character of the one casting the choice. If you did not need time - then you wouldn't be born in it. You can pretend you've gotten there all you like. But for you to actually get there - you will have to travel the long roads of life.
