Of all the planets in the zodiac, perhaps no other gets as bad a rap as Saturn. Astrologers bemoan the appearance of Saturn and deem him responsible for limitations, restrictions, laws, duties, obligations, taxes and time. Yet, they often ignore the fact that he is also the planet of manifestation, of the realization of dreams, of fruition. If you've ever dreamed of realizing manifestation, abundance and living your dreams, Saturn's your man.
Liz Greene, noted astrologer and author of Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil states, "Saturn. . . is never easy to deal with because his function is that of promoting growth and it is only frustration and pain which at present are sufficient goads to get a human being moving." When Saturn has an important transit in our chart, this often means that our frustration and pain will have reached a point where we can no longer ignore them. That means letting go of the familiar, comfortable rut we're in. Most of the time, we resent this enormously. However, the flip side of this forced change is necessary growth.
Few of us embrace change or growth, so a Saturn transit is usually considered an unpleasant time. Yet, change is the only way to achieve lasting happiness. So, while you may feel torn between the familiar and the scary unknown, Saturn will do everything in his power to push you forward. Saturn reveals where your soul's purpose lies, and it demands that you rid yourself of the habits and attachments that prevent you from living fully.
Saturn challenges us to live the lives we are meant to live. Best of all, if you tough it out and break those bad, comfortable habits, let go of unhealthy attachments, and do the work required to move towards your dreams, Saturn will help you manifest them.
Right now, Saturn is in Leo, where it will remain until 2007. This placement highlights that it is time for the planet to embrace creative change and generosity. The dark side of this, however, can be an obsession with superficial things that only fulfill the ego. Following is how Saturn in Leo will affect you according to Saturn's sign in your birthchart through September 2007.
Saturn in Aries
You'll have lots of opportunity to examine your ideas, needs and responsibilities around romance, creativity and/or children. Both new and old relationships with people and with your creativity will be the places in your life where you'll have both frustrations and the chance for tremendous growth.
Saturn in Taurus
Change will come to you through your home and family. Be prepared for lots of changes, perhaps a move, and certainly a reassessment of how you view and interact with your family of origin. There will be questions of responsibilities, duties and obligations to family and how to deal with these realities in a kind and enjoyable fashion.
Saturn in Gemini
An entirely new way of communicating and a new presence of mind will be developed during this time. You will see yourself, your choices and responsibilities in a way you can't have even have imagined in your past. You'll become more mature and engage with the realities of life.
Saturn in Cancer
This period is about learning to use your resources wisely - material, financial and emotional. If you're chronically in debt, then your life will no longer accommodate that habit, you'll have to learn to live within your means, and you'll learn the great comfort of solidity that comes with that. You'll learn how abundance, manifestation and prosperity work, for you.
Saturn in Leo
Saturn's now placed in your natal Saturn sign, which means that every area of your life that is stuck, dysfunctional or irresponsible is going to change - ready or not. Go with the changes, don't resist and you'll end this period with the outlines of the life you've always dreamed of having. Saturn is the ruler of manifestation and all its power is in your sign, which means all that magic is available to you if you have the strength to be worthy of it. If you resist necessary change, this period will be highly unpleasant.
Saturn in Virgo
You've been set a real challenge with incredible rewards at the end of the contest. You will be charged with resolving pain and fear from within, from your past and from others. Once this period is over, you will be the person you were meant to be, emotionally healed, ready and able to build your dreams.
Saturn in Libra
Relationships will be your challenges and your rewards during this transit. Any relationships, no matter how deeply enmeshed, will only survive if they serve the best interests of all parties, meaning that they serve true development of the soul. Some old friends will fall away and some new ones will appear that help you move towards making your dreams real.
Saturn in Scorpio
You'll be given more responsibility that you've ever imagined, or wanted, for that matter. You'll have to honor the obligations this places upon you, but boy, will it be worth it. Do the work and you'll live your dreams!
Saturn in Sagittarius
Things philosophical, spiritual, religious and educational will be where you have the need and opportunity to grow and develop. It's time to wrestle with these topics, which will suddenly be in high relief in your life. Closely held beliefs about ideas, religion and authorities will now be challenged, but if meet the demand to take responsibility for your own beliefs; you'll grow in spirit beyond your wildest dreams.
Saturn in Capricorn
All aspects of your life are now demanding that you look at your finances, how you manage them, where your income comes from and where it goes. Look at this as a time to live within your means, plan for the future and resolve both debts and debt spending. After this tough financial period, you'll be setting yourself up for solid money management for the rest of your life.
Saturn in Aquarius
You'll be tested in the areas of interpersonal connection, especially in important professional and love relationships. It's a time that will demand that you refine and define what you're responsible for in relationships, and where you need to detach your feelings of responsibility. This will mean a lot of shifts in relationships, the ones that serve your growth will endure and the ones that don't will end.
Saturn in Pisces
Compared to some other placements, you're getting it a bit easy during this period. If you want to improve your outlook at work, resign yourself to doing a bit more than your fellows. If you want to improve your nutrition or health it'll never be easier, Saturn's abilities to generate motivation, drive and follow-through are with you as never before. All told, mind your p's and q's and you'll come out way ahead by September 2007.
