Saturn Goes Direct Saturn went into Virgo September 2nd 2008 and went retrograde December 19th at 8 degrees Virgo. It retrograded all the way back to 1 degree Virgo. Saturn will turn direct May 2nd . For those with planets in early Virgo such as the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury or have early Virgo on the Ascendant (rising sign) this could be very important for you it represents the development of a new cycle. Saturn will be in Virgo for the next 2 years so if you have any planets in Virgo, Gemini, and Sagitarrius you could also feel the affects along the way. Saturn lets us know in a concrete way if we are learning our lessons and when we have, releases us to learn the next one. It is our report card as to how we are manifesting our purpose in the world. Where ever Saturn is in our chart is where we have to learn lessons involving how we manifest in the world. For instance if natal Saturn is in your second house which rules money, possessions, values, etc. you will have to deal with any self-doubt, inhibitions, feelings of lack and so on around those issues. If someone has other planets that transiting Saturn is making connections to it will bring to the surface any hidden feelings around issues involving those planets and whatever house they reside. Saturn is about testing the boundaries of our comfort zone. During the retrograde period you might have been preparing for new ways of doing things or working on a plan to restructure a business or participating in an organization that will broaden your scope of influence. During this period it can help you to become clear on what direction to take. It could mean that you have been making strides and taking steps to be seen as an authority in your field. It has been a time for cultivating relationships that could ultimately put you in a position to go to another level both professionally and personally. I know of a certain networking organization where relationships have been formed during this period with business owners in other countries which would potentially provide business opportunities for its members on a global scale. With Saturn going direct the seeds that you have been planting over the past several months will begin to blossom and take form. You are ready to act and implement the plan. Some times it may have felt you were taking two steps forward and one back that is because Saturn wants to make sure there are no missed steps. As Saturn begins to move forward you too should feel that release of new energy Springs forward in you. Saturn is about hard work and when we do our do diligence Saturn rewards us. So pat yourself on the back for all your hard work and planning because a new cycle is about to begin that takes you beyond your current comfort zone. What is unnecessary will fall away what will remain are the stepping stones that lead you to the next road on your journey. Let Saturn stretch you. Meet its challenge and you will be better off for doing so. Begin to feel the difference between pushing too hard and being lead. For consultations contact
