SATURN - the planet representing discipline, effort, sense of order, limitations, obstacles, and testing by placing restrictions in our lives - stationed back into direct motion today, August 2nd, at 1:53 AM EDT ... Saturn, the celestial taskmaster, teaches us the lessons, both easy as well as extremely challenging and difficult, we MUST learn on our journey through this life in order for positive growth both personally and spiritually ... it frequently puts those limitations and obstacles in our path in order to make us slow down so we can build strong foundations and structures in our lives that are on solid ground ... while Saturn has been in retrograde motion, since March 14th of this year, hopefully 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, if we used it wisely, to become more aware of our own personal authority and power and determine whether or not it fits within society or needs adjustment on some level ... in addition, we should have been reviewing whether or not societies rules and policies are helping to give us needed structure or limiting us in some way preventing personal and spiritual growth !!!
Now that Saturn has stationed back into direct motion, we should begin to be better able to see where we stand and thus 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 !!!
Saturn had actually come out of Scorpio on December 23rd of last year, but it got no further than 4 degrees 56 minutes Sagittarius when it began its retrograde journey for 2015 back on March 14th ... Saturn returned to Scorpio back on June 14th but it has gotten no further than 28 degrees 17 minutes Scorpio when it stationed back into direct motion today ... this is significant because it was only in the final two degrees of Scorpio, and in particular transiting back over and then going to go back over 29 degrees ... 29 degrees of any sign is considered the "critical" degree where action and resolution MUST be taken whether by our own efforts or with the "help", so to speak, of the Universe !!!
Just a reminder Saturn is currently in its transit
through the sign of Scorpio which began last on October 5th,2012 ... below is
a "refresher" as to what this transit of Saturn involves which now almost being at its conclusion you are better able to see and understand :
Saturn in Scorpio energy is extremely purposeful and
indeed its lessons will have the potential to lead to vast transformation and
change ... Saturn and Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, actually get along well
together ... and since Pluto is currently transiting through the sign of
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 for a more positive and
productive position for both to be in ... each planet strengthens the power of
the other and they tend to work in cooperation with each other ... it can make
their energies much more powerful but let it not be said it will by any means be
easier ... so does this make this transit of Saturn more challenging or more
rewarding - or maybe both ??? ... if you know in which house or houses of your natal chart
the 30 degrees of Scorpio fall, then that is most likely the area of your life
you may have experienced this energy play out during this transit of Saturn ... and
when Saturn concludes its transit through Scorpio, you should be able to look
back and realize change has taken place and hopefully you will feel and realize
it was for the better no matter how difficult and challenging it may have been ...
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 or very
challenging and, in some instances, very disastrous ... the dominant strength
this energy gives is usually masked by a pleasant and congenial exterior ...
however, Saturn here may have placed obstacles in our paths frequently in the form of
emotional difficulties and sometimes even scandal ... achieving power negatively
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 little, if none at all, patience with laziness and
unwillingness to work ...
Saturn in Scorpio certainly tested our desire nature
... it may have frequently brought to light that which was hidden even if we didn't want
it to be revealed !!! ... there could have been challenges, limitations, and
obstacles in regards to the masses, crime, phobias, obsessions, slow growth,
birth and death which does not necessarily always relate to the physical form,
coercion, generation, degeneration, things which have been developed secretly
and undercover, plumbing, dictatorships, and unpopular causes - all areas
naturally ruled by Pluto ...
Other challenges, restrictions and testing could have appeared in the form of joint financial ventures, the support one receives from others -
financial, moral, spiritual and physical, legacies, trusts, wills, taxes,
insurance matters, spiritual and physical regeneration, psychological rebirth,
occult matters, sleep, deep level research, investigation and hidden assets
including the assets of partners and alimony, and surgery ... all of the
aforementioned being concerns of the 8th house which Scorpio naturally rules
...
Health wise, there could have been issues developing with
arthritis and gall stones ... there also exists the possibility that skin
conditions may have developed and "erupted" from not letting deep personal issues be
known and properly dealt with ...
With Saturn in Scorpio, we are all being tested through
our nature of desire ... do we use it or abuse it ... we are being taught how to
effectively express any kind of personal power be it sexual, financial,
political, etc. ... the main challenge is for us 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 of
Saturn because it and the sign of Scorpio like to have a sense of control, or it
will turn into a disastrous misuse of power that ends up hurting or destroying
things as well as other people through ruthless, underhanded scheming ... the
greatest achievement will be made if we are able to acknowledge and identify our
personal convictions and then positively act on 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 personal and
spiritual growth will come through transformation resulting from us being able
to gain honest awareness of our failings as well as others and then dedicating
our efforts to correct the situation ...
My fellow Capricorns, it is now time for us to conclude our period of review, reflection and rethinking of what
has transpired in our lives, especially since March 14th, and move forward as
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 is about to conclude its action of
placing your lives on a huge learning curve giving you the opportunity to
achieve greater personal and spiritual growth even though it has not likely an easy process at times ... and that would be an understatement we all can
relate to !!!
Saturn is usually teaching all of us very difficult
lessons ... but holding firm and staying positive will get us through this
stronger and better able to deal with life and its many challenges ... so if
you keep your feet firmly planted and try to 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 able to
handle this journey through life more efficiently 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 not just from Saturn !!!
Saturn stationed back into direct motion at 28 degrees 17 minutes of Scorpio where it has vibrating been at an "astrological standstill" since July 29th ... in fact, Saturn was "slowing" down at the 28 degree mark of Scorpio since July 3rd making July most likely a very challenging as well as downright irritating month for many especially with the Venus retrograde coming into play on the 25th ... and just a heads up that August may be just as challenging in some way as Venus will be retrograde the entire month and, even though Saturn is now direct, it will be passing through the 28 degree mark again and then the "critical" 29 degree mark from September 1st through September 17th ... in fact, something could come back for you to deal with that may have occurred between June 14th and August 1st as Saturn passes back over these degrees once again ... and it would not be out of the question for something to come up from the period between December 5th through December 23rd of last year when Saturn was in direct motion passing through these degrees ... this retrograde period began at 4 degrees 56 minutes Sagittarius and the house or houses of your natal chart where these degrees fall show where in life you may have been feeling the weight of the "Cosmic teacher" bearing down with challenging lessons ... did you make an effort to change or ignore it and run the risk of having to repeat the "lesson" when Saturn returns to transit through Scorpio again in 29 years ???
Saturn remains in direct motion until March 25th, 2016 ... Saturn will conclude its transit through Scorpio on September 17th when it will begin its complete transit through the sign of Sagittarius, and just hours after Mercury begins its third and final retrograde period for 2015 ... gotta love that cosmic sense of humor !!!
Time for me to once again reiterate a worthwhile observation of mine - 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 finding the courage deep from within to take a serious and honest look at where we are versus where we should be going ... and this is done by making sure our foundations in life are always strong, solid and secure !!!
