It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way...Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities, 1859I'm sure we have all been feeling the stress and weirdness in various ways in the last few weeks as Saturn crawled through the last few degrees of Virgo. Virgo's might have received a final kick, wake-up call or have been through especially difficult times.
Of course it depends on your chart though as a lot of others might have been feeling just as freaked out. But all
Saturn in Virgo Returners will be pleased to know that Saturn, as of today, has OFFICIALLY ENTERED LIBRA!
This means your Saturn Return is over for the most part (apart from the retrograde back into Saturn briefly next year - just to check up on us and make sure we're still on the right track), and all of those with Saturn in Libra have officially started their Saturn Return.
Please don't fear it, it is a right of passage and a necessary phase of life in order to readjust your course, values and habits IF you are screeching along on the highway going the wrong way and ignoring that feeling in your gut that things aren't as authentic as they could be. If you are on the right path, expect affirmations from the universe and personally relevant major achievements.
Now
Saturn is exalted in Libra, so Saturn is now officially happier than when it was in Virgo. This is good. And this means plenty of especially life-affirming things could happen during this time for you which improves the quality of your life.
Think firmer, more authentic commitments, in love and business, and more voices rallying for social justice. Think more breakdowns of corrupt corporations and shadow-heavy religious figures. Think make or break time. Think more attention paid to quality of associations, balance of give and take, pulling your weight, fairness in teams and thinking seriously about commitments of all kinds.
Quit messing around with relationships that don't fully empower you - you are being tested! And the ones that are working, are still going to require a lot of hard work.
I for one, as a lover of justice, fairness and equality, am looking forward to this time, aware of the harsh measures it could bring but still mesmerised by the balancing act it promises.
Venus Rules
So don't forget to give your make-up bag a good clean out, and reassess your skin-care regime. Also watch your sugar levels and all sugary habits - are there any habits you could transform here? Get yourself some sleek, well-made clothes and present yourself as a vision of power, elegance and taste. Oh this old thing? I just threw it on.
Sabian Symbol for 1 Libra - The Theme of the Moment
Saturn, at this very moment, is at 0-1 degrees of Libra.
The Sabian Symbol for Libra 1 is "A butterfly preserved and made perfect with a dart throught it". The brilliant Linda Goodman talks about an "archetypal death" with this placement. Are you stuck or postponing something due to sacrifice or an inability to move? Are you stuck on the past or being too superficial? Are you sticking around somewhere far too long without seeing a clear future?
Also, investigate what house has Libra on the cusp for clues into upcoming themes in your life. If a house has Libra 0 bang on the cusp, it is highly significant too (if you don't use whole signs, when this would always be the case).
So, welcome to Saturn in Libra everyone. I am going to enjoy observing and blogging about what transpires. :)
