23 and 1/2

I just wanted to write one last post about the Saturn in Scorpio transit that will affect each one of us more or less. As I have stated in my previous posts, Saturn will be here from the 5^th of October till the 17^th of September 2015. That gives us plenty of time to consider and learn. It’s a very good time for discipline in our lives. Scorpio is a water sign and one of its main characteristics is ambition. Let us all try discipline and ambition for these years to come.

As a last thought, please watch this video called 23 and ½ hours. I was inspired by it. It’s well done and interesting; I invite you to just listen closely.

Saturn in Scorpio -Sagittarius,Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

Saturn has entered Scorpio on the 5^th of October 2012 and will stay there till the 17^th of September 2015.

Sagittarius: Saturn transiting your 12^th house
The 12^th house is the house of behind the scene activities or anything that is hidden from the outside view of the world. The house visions some loss of clarity, self indulgent habits, addictive substances and escape from reality. This house is also the house of spiritual inspiration, enlightenment. Saturn in this area helps you work behind closed doors, write, create, imagine, dream with your eyes open, experiment. This is a quite time for you to enjoy yourself and the way you place yourself in the world. If you have a problem you need to go deep and search for that problem to reveal. This is a period of rest. You can concentrate on your health and make sure to have it checked. Saturn sweeps through your life and demands that you take a hard look at what's been hiding in there. You must solve unsolved problems that you have, you must end cycles and end projects. You will easily face the truth that has been hidden from you and realize what is worth. Saturn will make you end everything that is not necessary and hold on to what is the most important thing. You are introspective at this time and you might isolate yourself. At the end of the cycle you will feel released and free to start new.
Capricorn: Saturn transiting your 11^th houseThe 11^th house is the house of friendships, of groups, of associations. Our hopes and dreams are another element of this house. Humanitarian causes, clubs, social organizations, all kinds of large groups of people with an important influence in the world. The last 3 years Saturn helped you in your career and created an important placement for these years to come. Now you have to go back to an important group and give back. You will volunteer, help out a political candidate, you will put all your skills to work and help others in a situation not as fortunate as yours. You might meet some people during this time that will change your life or have a very important impact on your life. Others will play the most important role now and you must find a way to contribute to their happiness. Your innermost personal wishes and dreams will become a part of you through friends and associations to a group. Decide to contribute to the place you live or be a part of something that makes an impact on society. One more thing is that Saturn is your ruler and he is in a very favorable relationship with Pluto, which is in your sign and this is a very good and constructive aspect. You can build a lot on this. You can take charge of your life and you must find a way to let others do the same.


Aquarius: Saturn transiting your 10^th house. The 10^th house is the house of one’s primary career goals; so we have here the career and not the job. We have here reputation, honor, achievement and authority. The 10^th house also represents the father, as the 4^th house represents the spouse. You must take responsibility and resolve karmic issues. In this placement Saturn will make you work hard, great responsibility will come and Saturn will teach you how to handle such great responsibility. There is method and a lot of control when it comes to Saturn and his great mastery. Saturn will show you that dreams may come true, but only if there is enough hard work in place. Saturn will require sacrifice, concentration, fight, courage and method. It may mean a shift in your career, a new professional chapter will come your way and you will feel it quite powerful. This is nothing to fear because remember Saturn is working very slowly and will never blow our minds as Uranus or Pluto. The very important task now is the commitment as this is what Saturn is all about. If you do chase another career, you must do it very carefully and with lots of courage. You must think out the options and come with a lot of hard work at the meeting. You become (perhaps painfully) aware of what you have and haven't accomplished to date. Everything is now realistic and it comes to you after some years of work. At this time you must think improvements, development and you will not aspect a solution and a reward overnight. Rewards will come back later. You can go back to school or take a hobby and bring it to a profitable endeavor. Saturn will also give you a mentor or an older person that will guide your way. Accept that because it is the one thing that Saturn gladly offers as a help on what it will pull you through.

Pisces: Saturn transiting your 9^th house
The 9^th house is about improvement, improvement on every aspect of your life. This house is the house of higher learning and continuing education. What is more is that we have here the belief system, your ideas about the world. Long travels and foreign places and people come your way with this transit. It is best to start new education or new target for your life. At the beginning of this cycle you will feel a little skeptical of the new world that is revealing in front of you. But this is only to make you aware that you need to go deeper and to learn new things for the new years to come. Travel will become a very big part of your life or just new people from all over will begin to be part of your life. You may have to learn something new and in a new city, try to go back to university and expand your learning. You may decide to start a new project and write a book or start a new small business; you will work very hard on this project; just remember that you have a teacher in Saturn that will just put you to test. He will also give you the guidance to make things happen. Please be patience and remember that Saturn is a very slow planet. It does the job, but it does it very slowly. Saturn is all about the big accomplishment in life and now it’s your time to have this in the area of your life that relates to improvement.  Saturn is also in a very good aspect with Pluto and this is a beneficial trend for you. Work hard and improve!

Saturn in Scorpio for Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

Leo: Saturn transiting your 4^th houseThe 4^th house is the Mother, the one that has all the energy concentrated on home. Property concern, real estate, domestic issues, family in general is the main focus of the 4^th House. This house is the emotional stability that we all search for, and this is the house of foundation and why we are able to cope with everyday stress. At first Saturn will place you in a position that you do not feel comfortable with. For example, you will hate where you live in the moment. It is Saturn, the teacher and master that will make you more responsible and aware of the foundation in your life. You may prospect the market for a new house, prepare a loan for a house or buy a house. You can also renovate where you live and make this a big project in your life now. Please be aware that Saturn asks for care and hard work and you must have these to make your dream about a house come true. You can also take more care of your parents in the next few years. Saturn will also give you the challenges and you must find a solution for each one. The house you will buy must be a practical one; you must afford it and must be sufficient for all the members in your family. Note that this will take time and it won’t happen overnight, you need patience because Saturn gave you a hard task. Please note that at the end of this cycle you will find yourself in a better climate, a wonderful dream home. This also means that you have will have the sense of family and security that you need to build on the years to come.
Virgo: Saturn transiting your 3^rd houseVirgo will have Saturn in a house that she likes, that is the house of relatives, neighbors, community and city life. We also find here short trips and reading, networking, small scale advertising and any form of communication.  Saturn is a hard dealing planet and now you have this planet in a house that is quite airy and not connected to material things. Saturn now will make you write more, edit or lecture if this is the case (and it must be with many Virgos are very well placed in academic field). If you work in marketing or public and social services Saturn is also helping you to become more aware of the trends in the market. You will be able to get your ideas across and reveal you talent in a new and interesting way. If you want to take some new courses, this is the best time to start and to organize them in a way that will help you in the future. Note that Saturn will place some challenges, but it is also for the better and after this long transit you will feel more secure on the way you handle your speech.
Libra: Saturn transiting your 2^nd house
The second house for you Libra is the house of money, what you have in a material sense, money you earn, debt, possessions, the value system and personal feeling of self worth. This stage in your life has to be a very practical one. Money will come slow, but steady and you will learn more about how to handle resources. You need to understand what kept you from achieving the results you want and need. Saturn will teach you money management, it is said that you will be at a MBA of finance these years to come. You will learn how to get more value from the money you earn and how to cut waste and find the best way to keep everything in place. Saturn will not give you a rise and you will not have more money at your disposal; you will just learn how to deal better with what you know have. You may as well be having so much trouble with money and learn so much that you will eventually become richer than you have ever dreamt. You will change your habit concerning money and you will see how good this can feel after a period of time. Also note that this will happen very slowly as Saturn is a slow planet. It has great influence, but it gives that influence step by step. You should not hurry either. Organize you money life and things will change for the better.  

Scorpio: Saturn transiting your 1^st house.The time has come for the most important zodiac sign, as Saturn is transiting Scorpio itself. That means we are in the 1^st house, the house of identity, the house of the ascendant and the most important house of them all. We have here the first impression, the self image, the outlook on life, what motivates you, what drives you. Saturn came here as a master and he has a lesson to teach you. He is the taskmaster, but with him you get solid results. He is here because he needs to teach you maturity, responsibility, growth, discipline, seniority. You work hard, prepare for the years to come. You may start something new in your life, start a business, start a new relationship, get married, move in another town, have a baby or have a new very good job. This will be the most important thing in your life and you will build your life from this point on. You will bring beneficial things from this late in 2015. Try to concentrate now and focus on whatever comes your way because it will be big and it will lay the foundation for the next 12 years. Set goals, set priorities and be able to have everything finish in time. It is the most exciting time as you are very busy, Saturn will give you a lot to do and worry about. The energy now is high and you must be the very busy bee. Try not to feel too critical about everyone else that will not be able to keep us with you. Saturn is on your side and that is why you have this special place now.

A gentle tipping point - Saturn in Scorpio

Saturn is the great planet of discipline, of hard work and patience; of solitude and of responsibility. An interesting fact, but not astrology related: in Roman mythology was the god of agriculture. We had this planet in Libra for almost 2 years now and that affected all kinds of relationships, like business or personal ones. Libra is the planet of relationships and when a planet like Saturn is visiting; it becomes a little harder to form or to stay in a relationship. But that was in the past; let’s see what we have in the future.Saturn has entered Scorpio on the 5^th of October 2012 and will stay there till the 17^th of September 2015. Saturn affects now the fixed sings and that is because Scorpio is one of the most important fixed sign. The other 3 are: Aquarius, Taurus and Leo. Saturn also gives us the opportunity to gain strength, to become more responsible for what we do and say, and to cut out waste in our lives. Saturn needs us to work hard, put our energies into practical projects. Anything that is not practical will soon disappear under the care of Saturn.

The sign of the zodiac and how Saturn in Scorpio will affect you:

Aries: Saturn transiting your 8^th house.

The 8^th house is the house of sex and intimacy, soul mate; the house also rules the major lifestyle changes and shared resources. This transit will place a significant accent on these areas of your life. Aspect drastic changes and new conditions on shared resources. Although note that Saturn is a very slow planet and everything will happen very slowly. You may also find yourself in a position to encounter a problem with intimacy. It’s also a very good period to think and organize your resources. Saturn will actually teach you to do more with less money. It is best to come back to your bank accounts or your loans to see if you can better manage money there. When it comes to money, innocence is never bliss.  Read about new laws and about new ways to deal with them. If you do not, Saturn will find a way to force you do that. Remember that Saturn is the great teacher of the zodiac and he will make you learn your lesson. It is not safe to get married at this period of time because the husband or the wife will have some financial problems. You will find that having Saturn in your 8^th house is much easier than it was having Saturn in your 7^th house.

Taurus: Saturn transiting your 7^th house.

The 7^th house is the marriage, other people, and business partners, someone that can take you to court and file a lawsuit. Also we have here the balance of power in a couple. In this cycle you must define and better understand the relation with others. Try to be flexible, to act as a partner and not a ruler as you usually do. This means you will have to focus more on your partner, on your marriage and partnership. Many Taurus will get married under this transit and that will be a very healthy and good marriage. This will be a strong union and a very serious one. It might be possible that the husband or the spouse will be older than you and that is also in a very good aspect with Saturn in Scorpio.  But be careful that Saturn requires sacrifice and hard work to get this done. The focus will be on the partner, he or she will get a new job, or have a big promotion and you will have to balance your needs with his or her needs. You must be of great help in this situation and that is what Saturn wants from you. If you resist that, you will not learn the lesson that Saturn is teaching and that becomes a karmic one. Saturn will put a light on your relationship to see where you stand and how you are able to deal with it. The same thing can happen in a business alliance and not a marriage one. The business partner must be appreciated for what he is and gain its deserved status.  

Gemini: Saturn transiting your 6^th house

The 6^th house is the house of work, employees, co-workers, everyday chores and daily routine, also diet, attitude towards food. In this case, you must attack things in a different manner, change the way you handle projects. There are new ways in the marketplace and that is why you need to change too. There is some pretty good news, in this placement Saturn boosts the business and it must make you hire new people and find new people to help you in the business you have. It will take more assignment and more responsibility, a new job or a new endeavor for you. That means you have something new to enjoy, but also to work hard at it. Always remember Saturn is the great master of hard work and discipline and you must put that into your daily work and routine. Another area that will be on the spot light is the one regarding health routine or diet regime. Eat right, sleep right, change your habits for a healthier and better life. You may actually find a routine that you like (although that is very difficult as we are talking here about Geminis that especially hate routine). Organize your life, find ways to have a good time management and be productive in what you do. By the end of the transit you will be healthier and happier.

Cancer: Saturn transiting your 5^th house

The 5^th house is the house of creativity which allows you to be recognized as successful; it is the house of the inner child, hobbies, play, recreation and financial speculation; also the area of love and romance. Many of you will go through a period of evaluation of talents and of expression. Some of you might find the time and resource to turn a hobby into a business. One other theme will be getting serious about stabilizing your love life, because now you are ready to start a new chapter in your life, where you can build richer emotions. The new love that you will find now will be older than you with seven years or more. Saturn will approve with this and will be happy if you decide to follow this new love you have. Also Saturn will test this relation at the beginning forcing you to live separate for a period of time. But this will only make a connection even deeper and wonderful. If you are now in a relationship that is not good for you Saturn will make it happen for an end. If you plan to have a baby, now it is a very good time to do it as Saturn will guide along like a master. Creative projects will also find their ways and will be enhanced, they will take time and expect delays, but that is only because Saturn asks for quality in everything we do. At the end of the transit it is possible that you will be a happy mom or dad and you will know your responsibilities.
