A Note On Saturn's move into Libra

Last week I received an email from Ted from AstroAdvisor. I asked him if I could post and he said Yes. I like what he has to say especially on the fear negativity of Virgo. ---Tracy

Dear Clients and Friends,

The planet Saturn has just changed signs, leaving Virgo and entering the sign of Libra on Thursday, October 29th. Saturn will make a brief transit in Libra until April 7th, 2010 before retrograding back into Virgo one final time. Saturn re-enters Libra once again on July 21st, 2010 until October 5th, 2012.

Saturn symbolically represents our life lessons, ambitions, security and status, and karma. We reap what we sow with Saturn. It gives us what we deserve and have worked hard for. Saturn is also associated with ones character. What kind of obstacles have we had to overcome or sacrifices to make to attain our goals? What do we have to do now to make our dreams and aspirations become real and tangible?

While Saturn has been transiting Virgo, there is a tendency to express the negative emotions of fear, doubt, or worry. More effort is probably required to keep a peaceful and positive frame of mind. With what is going on in the present economic climate, it has been a challenge for many of us. There can also be a pre-occupation with making things perfect and becoming too critical of everything or others around us. Now that Saturn is in Libra, it is time to lighten up! Time to attain more balance in all areas of life.

Saturn is considered "exalted" in the sign of Libra. What this means is the nature of the planet is best complimented while transiting the sign. It also means it can express its planetary nature the strongest in this sign. Welcome the great balancer and lord of karma, Saturn, in the sign of balance and harmony, Libra. It is time to change our ways! Karma or the repercussions of our actions can come back much more quickly now that Saturn transits Libra. It wants to make things fair and equal.

The "wrong doers" in the world may be paid a visit by the grim reaper during this period, lol. Maybe just in time for Halloween, lol! Many would hope for such a thing. For example, where is the "fairness" in bailing out wall street and big banks at the expense of American tax payers while millions lose their jobs or homes? If things are equal, then the same amount of "bail out" money should be given to the people who lost their homes or jobs. Where is the "fairness" in this? These are very interesting times and we haven't seen nothing yet! Wait until Saturn in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries and squares Pluto in Capricorn over the next few years. More about that another time.

The other important theme of Saturn in Libra is "relationships." Partnerships and relationships usually take on a more serious tone now. Any issues that you may have not wanted to confront will probably have to be dealt with now. Ultimately, the goal of Saturn's transit in Libra is to make relationships more solid, strong, and complete. Other people or significant others can take on a more important role in our lives too. The urge for commitment or forming longer term relationships and partnerships takes on more importance. Life can be hard enough at times...we don't need to go at it alone. Now I think I am starting to sound like some commercial I heard! lol. That's all for now.

Wishing everyone peace, harmony, and balance in all areas of life!

Astrologically,

Ted
