Calling everyone.
The game is about to change. A cycle is coming to an end, a new cycle is about to begin and your future is coming to a big screen near you - ridiculously sooner than you thought.
Yes with Uranus about to enter Aries towards the end of May things are going to change pretty soon and in a big way since Jupiter is at the same point too. Will you surprisingly reinvent yourself or will the reinvention be a surprise even to you?
Saturn in Virgo has been hard for a lot of people since September 2007, emphasizing our neuroses and then helping us finally learn how to let go of them. But Saturn is getting ready to go direct soon and will enter Libra officially in July. This means a whole new ballgame and the changes will take effect with lightening speed from the end of May onwards.
Calling all of those with Saturn in Libra. Your Saturn Return is taking place in exciting times!
But before you start worrying about Saturn coming back to Libra in July, please don't forget that Saturn is exalted in Libra. This means Saturn feels more at home in Libra than in many other signs. Not that he will let you get away with anything.
What changes in your life do you desperately need to make? What do you want to be when you grown up? What concrete steps are you taking towards that? What kind of relationship with your friends and your partner do you want? What is balanced, fair and just? Have you sorted out your Daddy or Mommy issues and stopped projecting them onto your relationship?
If you haven't had any major changes thrust in your face yet from external sources, why not start to seriously think about your life right now. Your life is begging you to make the ridiculously necessary changes, which you know in your heart are needed for you to get to where you want to be.
Get ready for a series of tests and don't beat yourself up if you fail the first ones...there will be more over the next few years. You might start off shoddy using all your old tricks and then refine your character as saturn moves back and forth over your natal saturn.
I think someone always is who they are, but when your Saturn Return comes around you shake off all the external things in your environment which have been inhibiting you from trying to give your best shot at being yourself. First the storm, then the calm.
Think The Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Look what he was capable of surviving! Compared to that, the next few years will be a doddle. Think Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Think Committed by the same author. Think discipline. Think rehab. Think therapy. Think firmer, more authentic commitments, in love and business.
Wonder constantly what your highest self would do. Spin with the changes then stop spinning and change. Why did you come here? What are you meant to be doing? What has been stopping you from doing it? Can you commit with integrity?
You will be tested.
If you are busy going to the next level in your career or relationship, well done! You have worked hard to get here and deserve your success.
"At the Saturn return, particularly the first, there can be a rapid onset of major changes. Most people will get either married or divorced; be promoted, get fired, or quit their job and start a new career; buy their first house or sell one and move; start to make it financially or go bankrupt and start over, or both; and so on. Saturn is not attached to what kinds of changes we make, as long as they work for us in the end. As long as we are getting real."
"Saturn in Libra is about the boundaries we have with people, the rules we live by, the agreements we keep, and the ability to hold commitment. People really struggle with commitment, either not being able to handle it at all, or being overcommitted (or trapped) in toxic situations. When we honour Saturn, that is, when we strive for clarity and maturity and a little bit of structure in our relationships, they work a lot better." - Eric Francis

Your posts always enlighten me. As someone about to experience his *second* Saturn return, I've been enjoying your previews of what I'm to expect.
