BUILDING A FIRMER FOUNDATION !!!

Saturn, the planet representing the urge for security and safety and whose keyword is "the teacher", stationed back into direct motion this afternoon, May 30th at 2:11 PM EDT ... Saturn is also known as the celestial taskmaster who teaches us the lessons, both easy and challenging, we must learn from life ... while Saturn has been in retrograde motion, since January 13th of this year, we all have been reviewing and trying to restructure systems, programs, organizations, corporations and rules to allow them to function more efficiently ... we also have had time to become more aware of our own personal authority and power and whether or not it fits within society or needs some adjustment on some level ... we have also been reveiwing whether or not society rules and policies are helping give us structure or limiting us in some way ...

Just a reminder that Saturn was beginning its transit through the sign of Libra when the retrograde began ... 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 ... 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 have been sensitive to this retrograde energy that is taking place in their birth sign ...

Saturn backed into the sign of Virgo for one final bit of business on April 7th so the lesson shifted to taking a long hard look at our daily work and service, health and nutrition, and possibly family issues ... Virgo born individuals may also have felt more pressure in one or more of these areas too with Saturn draggin the ball and chain in your birth sign ... but we all, regardless of birth sign, were dealing with this energy on some level of our lives ... and with the present state of the economy and business it makes a lot of sense !!! .. Saturn is teaching all of us a very difficult lesson ... but holding firm and staying positive will get us through this stronger and better able to deal with life and its many challenges ...

Now that Saturn has turned back into direct motion, we are better able to see where we stand and begin to move forward in building a more secure foundation and structure for our lives ... at this point we can start working diligently towards pursuing more stability and security in our lives ... no doubt we may encounter limitations or restrictions either self imposed or imposed by authority figures on some level ... or perhaps the Universe itself will even throw a road block or two our way to see how we implement the work ethic and partnerships/relationship issues we have been working on and refining since January 13th !!!

My fellow Capricorns, it is now time for us to "wake up" from our "hibernation period" and move forward with our lives - this is our ruling planet !!! ... we have a yearly period of about four and a half months to review and rethink ... as Saturn is currently completing its transit through the sign of Virgo, we are undoubtedly taking one last long hard look at our daily work and service, health and nutrition, and possibly family issues ... and also anything we have all been reviewing since the retrograde began in January ... Saturn returns to the sign of Libra for its complete transit on July 21st and once again partnerships/relationships both public and private along with personal values will be under close scrutiny until the transit is finished in October 2012 ...

Saturn requires every one of us to often be taught through 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 !!! ... Saturn remains in direct motion until January 2011 ... Now is a good time to make sure that each cornerstone of whatever foundation you are currently working on building is firmly planted and secure !!!
