STRONG AND SOLID FOUNDATIONS IN LIFE !!!

Saturn, the planet representing discipline, effort, sense of order, limitations, obstacles, being tested and whose keyword is "the teacher" and "the taskmaster", stationed back into direct motion Monday, July 8th at 1:12 AM EDT ... Saturn is also known as the celestial taskmaster who teaches us the lessons, both easy and challenging, we must learn from life ... it frequently puts limitations and obstacles in our path in order to make us slow down and make sure we are building strong foundations and structures on solid ground ... while Saturn has been in retrograde motion, since February 18th 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 ... in addition, we've been reviewing whether or not society rules and policies are helping give us structure or limiting us in some way ...

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 structure and foundation in 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 make us realize whether or not we made good use of this retrograde period !!!

Just a reminder Saturn is currently in its transit through the sign of Scorpio which began last year on October 5th ... and below is a "refresher"- appropriate as we are in a Mercury retrograde, right ??? - as to what this transit of Saturn involves :

This Saturn energy is extremely purposeful and indeed its lessons here will have the potential to lead to great transformation and change … Saturn and Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, actually get along very well together … and since Pluto is currently in Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn, and with Saturn now in the sign ruled by Pluto, they are considered to be in mutual reception … in mutual reception they are visiting each others homes and this can make a very positive position for both to be in … each one strengthens the power of the other and work in cooperation with each other … So does this make this transit more challenging or more rewarding ??? … maybe both … only time will tell and it will certainly depend on what is going on in your life !!!

Saturn is very powerful in the secretive and passionate sign of Scorpio … it enables one to understand human motivation ultimately enabling one to control others which can be either a very good thing or a very challenging thing … the dominant strength this energy gives is often masked by a pleasant and congenial exterior … however Saturn here will place obstacles in our paths frequently in the form of emotional difficulties and sometimes even scandal … achieving power under this energy can lead to downfall due to rumors and gossip … this is an excellent position for executive ability and unwavering commitment to a particular goal … there is very little patience here with laziness and unwillingness to work …

Saturn in Scorpio will truly test our desire nature … it will most certainly bring to light that which is hidden even if we don’t want it to be revealed … there could be challenges, limitations and obstacles in regards to the masses, crime, phobias, obsessions, slow growth, birth and death, coercion, generation, regeneration, and degeneration, things which have been developed secretly and undercover, plumbing, dictatorships, unpopular causes – all areas ruled by Pluto …

Other challenges, restrictions and testing could include joint financial ventures; the support one receives from other people which includes financial, moral, spiritual and physical; legacies; trusts; wills; taxes; insurance matters; intimacy and sexual matters; spiritual and physical regeneration; psychological rebirth; death – not necessarily ones own; occult matters; sleep; deep level research; investigation and hidden assets including the assets of partners and alimony; and surgery - all matters represented by the 8th house which is the house Scorpio naturally rules … health wise, there could be issues with arthritis and gall stones … there also exists the possibility that skin conditions could develop and erupt from not letting deep personal issues be known and dealt with …

The main lesson Saturn in Scorpio presents is testing us through our desire nature … do we use or abuse it … we will be taught how to effectively express any kind of personal power be it sexual, financial, political, etc. … the challenge is to overcome the tendency to agonize about which course of action we should take in order to avoid our energies being misdirected … this can be either a very rewarding transit for Saturn because it and the sign of Scorpio like to have a sense of control, or it can turn into a disastrous misuse of power that ends up hurting or destroying things and other people through ruthless scheming ... the greatest achievements will be made when we are able to acknowledge and identify our personal convictions and positively act upon them …

Saturn in Scorpio likes highly organized power, an intense commitment, knowing secrets, explicit intimacy and strong characters … it does NOT like to lose control and not knowing … positive transformation will result when we are able to gain honest awareness of our failings as well as others and correct the situation …


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 ... Scorpio born, the Universe continues its action of placing your lives on a huge learning curve giving you the opportunity to learn and achieve greater personal and spiritual growth even though it is likely to not be easy at times ... 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 ... 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 constant challenges !!!

If you've had a natal chart done and know in which house or houses the degrees of Scorpio lie, you'll get a good idea as to where Saturn is requiring you to slow down and take a good hard look at that area of your life ... Saturn stationed back into direct motion on Monday at 4 degrees of Scorpio where it has been astrologically "vibrating" since June 23rd ... that area of your chart is where you may certainly have been feeling the weight of the "Cosmic teacher" presenting challenging lessons ...

Saturn remains in direct motion until March 2nd, 2014 and will not complete its transit through the sign of Scorpio until September 17th/18th, 2015 depending on which time zone you live in ... 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 !!! ... Now is a good time to make sure that each cornerstone of whatever foundation(s) you are currently working on building are firmly planted and secure !!! ...

As a Capricorn born who will be ruled lifelong by Saturn, I can say that from personal experience the transits of Saturn aren't always a bad thing that should be dreaded ... while its actions can be difficult and challenging, Saturn's main objective is to help us grow and become a better, more highly functional and successful person by taking deep, serious and honest looks at where we are and where we should be going ... and this is done by making sure our foundations in life are always strong and solid !!!
