review 2008/aquarium
Your assessment of the phrase is excellent. Due to evolutionary necessity we must become less theoretical and ideological and become more practical and responsible in our stewardship of our time here and our relationship to the sustainability of our environment, including other sentient beings. If we're not progressive we're regressive or anti-progressive, since evolution is a one way street and there's no way to simply stand still. Interdependence is the constant reality of our environment, and we must learn that we also are interdependent with other life forms. This view ultimately leads that we should pull together for the common good so we can share rewards and well being in common. If the failure of the one leads to the weakening of the whole, then it is in the interests of all to care for each other, lest the brain die when the kidneys fail or one being's disease create an epidemic.
Com + passion = fellow feeling. There are many ways to express these in our world. For one, working hospice. For another, philanthropic works. For another, opening human potential. For another, creating a soup kitchen for the poor. For another, serving a greater good for present and future learners. The reason for the descriptor "practical" is due to the Earth quality of what Saturn is showing us. Merely believing oneself to be serving often misses the mark, since service, being ultimately an Earth quality, must be anchored in some practical "real" form. That what Saturn offers in this opposition, expressing a quality of the Uranus in Pisces, however that can be realized by our individual Spirit. Great thread of discussion.
