STANDING ON SOLID GROUND ???

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, and most importantly known as Father Time - began its RETROGRADE journey for 2014 today, 3/2 at 11:19 AM EST  at 23 degrees of Scorpio ... if you've had a natal chart done, then you know in what area of your life Saturn has, and will continue for a while longer, been making you focus your attention on to improve and make more secure ...

The main objective of a transiting Saturn retrograde is RESTRUCTURING, if necessary, our foundations to make sure they are strong and solid ... 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 every 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 ...


Saturn is currently transiting through the sign of Scorpio ... it is very powerful in the secretive and passionate sign of Scorpio ... and since Saturn and Pluto, which rules Scorpio, are in mutual reception with Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn, which of course Saturn rules, the effects of this particular Saturn sign transit is very powerful and has the potential to produce some great rewards even though the process will by no means be an easy one !!! ...  while Saturn is in Scorpio, we are trying to understand human motivation that ultimately enables us to control others which of course can either be a very good thing or something very dark and disastrous ... our desire nature is being thoroughly tested bringing to light that which is hidden even if we don't want it to be revealed ... we also are being tested in areas regarding issues of personal power and intimacy, our spiritual nature, and joint financial ventures ... also there may be a lot of intense review and consideration regarding legacies, trusts, wills and taxes ... we all have been working on positive transformation by trying to gain honest awareness of our failings as well as others and making the necessary corrections ... this process began back on October 5th, 2012 when Saturn began its transit through Scorpio which will be ongoing until it completes its transit on September 17th/18th, 2015 - even though it will briefly make its initial transit through Sagittarius on December 23rd of this year, but due to retrograde motion will return to Scorpio for some last minute business on June 14th/15th, depending on the time zone in which you live ... obviously Saturn can be very heavy and restricting when it comes to teaching us lessons about life, so it would make sense that its retrograde periods, for review and reflection, last longer than those of the personal planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars ... but keep in mind that Mars began its retrograde journey for 2014 yesterday, 3/1, so we have the planet of action, initiative and aggression (Mars) in retrograde motion for the next 79 days with the planet of restriction, limitation and obstacles (Saturn) ... that is a lot of frustrating energy making is slow down when we really want to GO !!! ... the universe obviously has its reasons for placing these two in retrograde motion together at this time, and if you are patient, willing to slow down and take an honest look at what is going on in your life and then use the energy wisely, you can accomplish a lot in building a stronger personal and spiritual foundation ... but the universe also has bestowed us with a gift as well as Mercury stationed direct on 2/28, so perhaps we will be able to think through and mentally process what is going on and being brought to our attention more productively !!!

My fellow Capricorns, this begins our yearly period of review and self introspection as this is our ruling planet ... what has been going on in your life since Saturn stationed back into direct motion on June 7th/8th, 2013 ???  ... what have you been working on and possibly rebuilding and restructuring that now needs some re-examination and reevaluation to determine whether or not you are on the right track to produce the desired results you are working towards ??? ... or what did you start working on during the last Saturn retrograde period - January 30th, 2013 through June 7th/8th, 2013 - that now MUST be addressed and either improved upon or simply let go of in order to facilitate personal and spiritual growth ??? ...  this would apply for everyone as well !!! ... usually people are not happy when Saturn comes into the picture to teach us and make us learn life lessons that often are very daunting and difficult, but we native Capricorns understand Saturn's "weight" which can bear down on us ... so its retrograde journey each time becomes an opportunity for everyone else to feel and hopefully come to understand what we have to live with all of our life ... challenging - you bet ... and no one would ever say it is an easy task, but the potential for rewards are unlimited if you open your eyes, ears and hearts, allow the universe to lead the way and be willing to go the distance !!!

Saturn retrogrades roughly every 12 1/2 months for a period of about 4 1/2 months ... Saturn remains retrograde until July 20th ... indeed 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 definitely be better equipped to deal with life and its many challenges as well as being able to determine if you are truly standing on solid ground !!!
