BACK TO THE INTERNAL GRINDSTONE !!!

Saturn - the planet representing the urge for security and safety, that is also known as the taskmaster teaching us the lessons we must learn in life, shows us what we are unsure of or truly fear, and forces us to find the means to acquire discipline, effort and sense of order so that we may overcome limitations and obstacles - began its RETROGRADE journey for this year yesterday, 1/13 at 10:58 AM EST ...

The main thrust of a transiting Saturn retrograde is RESTRUCTURING our foundations ... since Saturn is the planet which represents systems and organizations, during its retrograde period the time has come to re-examine these areas and find ways to improve them ... it is now time for everyone one of us to restructure systems, programs, organizations, and even rules in order to make them function more efficiently ... processes and policies will all benefit from re-examination during this period ... and isn't it sadly ironic that Haiti was hit with such a deadly and devasting earthquake on Tuesday just as Saturn was "slowing" down to station into retrograde motion on Wednesday ... since Sunday, January 10th , Saturn has literally been vibrating at 4 degrees and 39 minutes of Libra creating a lot of tension and possibly a feeling of heaviness and being weighted down ... unfortunately the area around Port au Prince, Haiti, "gave way" to the tension and stress creating a huge disaster ... and undoubtedly many of us somehwere in our lives were feeling this vibrational stress since Sunday even if we didn't have such a dramatic release of this energy !!!

Just a reminder that Saturn is currently in its transit through the sign of Libra ... and the essence of this transit is being tested through relating ... needless to say relationships and partnerships both personal and public are going under the universal microscope for closer scrutiny - and haven't they been doing that since the end of December 2008 when we began a year long series of personal planet retrogrades and shadow points that often overlapped !!! ... in Libra, the greatest lesson Saturn will ultimately teach us is that of BALANCE in relationships ... letting give and take have equal power ... through these balancing acts, one will be able to determine and establish their place in the professional and personal landscape of their individual lives ... and Libra born individuals may especially be sensitive to this retrograde energy that is taking place in their birth sign ...

My fellow Capricorns, this begins our yearly period of "hibernation" or self introspection since this is our ruling planet ... what has been going on in your life since Saturn stationed back into direct motion last May 16th, 2009 ... what have you been working on and possibly rebuilding and restructuring that now needs some re-examination to determine whether or not you are on the right track or producing the desired results you are working towards ??? ... or what did you start working on during the last Saturn retrograde period - 12/31/08 through 5/16/09 - that now MUST be addressed and either improved upon or simply let go of in order to facilitate personal growth ???

Saturn retrogrades roughly every 12 1/2 months for a period of about 4 1/2 months ... Saturn remains retrograde until May 30th of this year ... in doing so it will make one final return to the sign of Virgo between April 7th and July 21st for some last minute restructuring, rebuilding and strengthening business in the area of daily work and service, health and nutrition, and possibly family issues ... Saturn remains in the sign of Libra until October 5th, 2012 ... Saturn teaches every one of us different but difficult lessons in life ... but if you keep your feet firmly planted and try to stay positive and understand that the "light at the end of the tunnel" usually signifies greater personal as well as spiritual growth, you will definitely come through a much stronger person and better for the lessons you have taken seriously and made great personal effort to learn from ... you will certainly be better equipped to deal with life and its many challenges !!!
