Saturn transits Libra: Are you ready?
Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the planet Saturn’s transit through Libra and what it marks for many people, especially those experiencing this transit for the first time ( those born in later than 1980) will be taking a giant leap into a new personal era. This is the return of Saturn for those in their mid-late twenties. A three year stretch of destroying, rebuilding and restructuring.
Relationships and communication
This transit will effect you greatly if you have cardinal planets and planets ruled by Saturn like Capricorn, Libra, Aquarius. If you’re natal Saturn is in Libra this will be an extra special time in your life.
So what exactly will happen? A lot of things will be happening. Since Libra (Kemetic god Anubis) is the sign of balance and justice, this will be a period of balancing. You as an individual will have a more clear vision of what is working to help you and what is working against you, and then being able to cut away what is not working in your favor. In contrast you will have a clearer view of what will work for you and the challenge will be accepting what is unfamiliar and new even though it will assist you in your transformation. If you feel you have been shortchanged, you will be more tactful but self-assured in airing your grievance. If you have been slighting someone, Libra will bring out your apologetic nature and you will feel the need to stop it because the realization of what you are doing is wrong will come to light.
Saturn rules relationships and communication, so during this time period of Libra. You will able to cut off dead weight and will be able to communicate this to those who are dead weight. This will not come without static as not everyone is ready for this balancing act. There will be those who will offended and this will be a trying time for you if you aren’t willing to work through this.
Over this time period we will feel a need to have a partner, a counterbalance, in a relationship with clearly defined and fair rules. Libra will also grant us the patience to weigh all options before taking this step. Since this is a transformative era for many of us, partners and relationships that will help us to grow will become highlighted and it is up to the individual to see this. On the flip side hanging on to that which doesn’t work for us will create more intense static than normal because the Libran nature is to seek balance so you will be working in opposition and not in cooperation with Saturn. If you are not working in accordance to Libra blame issues will be abundant during this time also. Your partner will blame you for not communicating enough, or ignoring your needs a vice-versa. Nations will miscommunicate much more than normal as we are seeing daily in the news.
Destroy and rebuild, return of saturn.
During the Saturn in Virgo period there has been a research and development period for self and spirit. I believe we all can all see the crumble of the old paradigm. Banks failing, little faith in government. Widespread foreclosures and businesses closing their doors. People generally uneasy . This is bringing about a completely new focus of existence for many earth citizens. There have been more millionaire entrepreneurs created in the last few years than in anytime in history. The next few years will be bringing many many more. People are not satisfied with simply living to work anymore. The weekend warrior and 9-5 dynamic is becoming obsolete. Humans are becoming more interested in their soul purpose and doing what fulfills their hearts desires as opposed to just working to make a buck to buy more “stuff.” Unfortunately there will be many people who will not be aware of this shift and they will be left in the dust as the gap between the rich and poor increases.
Passing of Saturn ( period of 27-30 yrs of age)is the transition into true adulthood that will be especially apparent for people who have strong Saturn influence. Add this on top of Saturn’s transition into Libra during this same period and you will not recognize your old self, it will be like the emergence of a butterfly from out of it’s cocoon.
So right now up until April 2010, then July 2010 until October 2012 it will be all about balance, patience, communication, persevering. Accepting what works, ridding yourself of what doesn’t. It’s going to be an interesting ride. Thanks for reading-Sutekh
