Today, October 25, 2012 Sun makes a conjunction with
Saturn. This is the first time that the
Sun and Saturn have been conjunct in Scorpio since Saturn was last in Scorpio
in the early 80’s. Saturn is the sign of duty, responsibility and
accountability. Saturn restricts and
contracts. The sign Scorpio known for sex, death and transformation is also
concerned with debt, interest rates and taxes. The death of Scorpio is not the
physical death but the death of an old way bringing rebirth and the new.
The fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will
feel Saturn’s restrictive influence most strongly. All signs of the Zodiac will feel the impact
of Saturn in Scorpio on some level. Saturn spends approximately two and one
half years in a sign. In December of
2014 Saturn will move into Sagittarius then due to retrograde motion will slip
back into Scorpio in June of 2015 finally leaving that sign in September of
2015. If you are a Scorpio ask your Libra friends what life has been like for
the past two years or so.
The houses of the horoscope represent particular areas in
the life of an individual. The first
house is the self; the second house is money etc. The house in your horoscope that Saturn travels
through is where it is payback time. Or
if you have done your work, did your homework and accepted responsibility you
may find this to be reward time. Saturn gives you what you have earned. If you
have been deluding yourself in any area of your life Saturn brings you face to
face with the reality of the situation.
Over the next couple of years Saturn will form a trine
aspect with the money planets, Venus and Jupiter, in the July 4, 1776 chart of
the USA. At this pre-election moment,
Saturn is in harsh aspect to Obama’s Mercury. His ideas and opinions face
obstacles and challenges. His challenger,
Mitt Romney has transiting Saturn moving into trine his Mars, the planet of
action and energy. Saturn brings focus and the ability to organize and get the
job done. He is a formidable opponent at this time. Concurrently he has Saturn making a harsh
aspect to his natal Venus. This aspect
points to the Republicans apparent problem with women. There may be strains and disagreements within
his relationships and a difficulty relating to people.
This election is a difficult one to call for a lot of
reasons. Mercury changes direction on Election
Day moving from direct to retrograde. Mercury
was in retrograde motion on Election Day 2000 so there may be some dispute or
discrepancy that will take a while to sort out.
The winner of this election will face Saturn’s transit of
the USA’s Venus, Jupiter and Sun. The Sun rules the head of state and as
mentioned before Venus and Jupiter the money.
Saturn can surely depress the economy but can also bring a certain
amount of stabilization. Saturn in
Scorpio can restrict or contract the debt. At any rate, it will be “get your
ducks in a row” time and whoever is in the driver’s seat will have their work
cut out for them.
For the rest of us Saturn will be very personal according
to the house it transits and the aspects it makes to the individual’s chart. A
Saturn transit is real and concrete. It manifests in the physical world. Even
if you don’t know Saturn from a hole in the wall you can identify where Saturn
is by locating where the principles of Saturn are manifesting in your
life. A Saturn transit is a good time to
see an astrologer. Remember no matter
how difficult it gets: This to shall pass.
