Saturn's New Style
By Richard Lee Vaughn
On July 15th, Saturn moved into Leo/Gemini (see my June Article, “Pluto in Sagittarius”), where it will transit for two years. (In Gemini- two signs behind tropical)
With Saturn in Leo/Gemini, control, anxieties, obstacles, losses and karma are focused on children, government buildings, moneylenders, the stock market, love affairs, arrogance, and pleasure. We have to take responsibility for our very souls and what we create.
Saturn in Gemini/Leo will teach us to tear down the walls that we have built around us so that we can say what is really in our hearts. Saturn in Gemini/Leo is where we need to focus attention as the power elite, working through education, television, religion, and satellite transmissions will use the Leo qualities to destabilize, attack and terrorize our nerves and minds as they program, suppress news, mature thought and serious expression. We have to take responsibility for information and encourage information sharing and allow differences in opinions to be voiced.
Saturn’s 2-year Transit Through Your Natal or Solar Houses (Use the tropical zodiac)
Aquarius-Recognition
This Saturn transit takes place in your solar or natal 7th house, indicating that relationships are most important for you. You may get divorced, married or have confrontations with strangers. You know who you are but others may not; be prepared to be tested.
Pisces-Preparation
You may find yourself working from home, tending to the most tedious of jobs with Saturn moving through your solar or natal 6th house. Pay attention to your health, practice humility and get closure.
Aries-Patience
Your solar or natal 5th house is the focus over the next two years. It is okay to be the center of attention. Children, love affairs, and older lovers all require more of your time; organization and anything produced during this time will take serious concentration.
Taurus-Foundation
You are concentrating on your family and home as Saturn moves through your solar or natal 4th house. Domestic policies and anything you have been putting up with will end. You may be tired of walking on eggshells in your own home.
Gemini-Communications
As Saturn moves through your natal or solar 3rd house, organized religion may seduce you. You will complete a phase of inward preparation and self encounter. Siblings, cars, phones, meetings and your immediate environment are where you will be most affected.
Cancer-Structured Finances
Saturn’s transit of your solar or natal 2nd house means learning what you really value. You may feel financially insecure at this time. However, this can be one of your best times for establishing your financial independence. Be careful of your personal belongings.
Leo-Supreme Attitude
This transit represents a new beginning of internal growth as Saturn moves through your natal or solar 1st house. Introversion and introspection help you to get in touch with yourself. You need to unlearn all of the incorrect and inaccurate ways of thinking about yourself that you have learned from others.
Virgo-Junk in the Trunk
At this time, the decks are cleared for new action. Now, with Saturn transiting your solar or natal 12th house, you should be finishing up anything that was not completed during the last several years. Circumstances will compel you to close out projects.
Libra-Expectations
Your principal task is to integrate yourself with some kind of group expression as Saturn moves through your natal or solar 11th house. You may feel that coworkers and friends are getting in your way. Your ideals and objectives will come into sharp focus as Saturn brings about the results you have been trying to achieve.
Scorpio-Culmination
In many ways, Saturn’s transit of your solar or natal 10th house represents the harvest, the experiences and the consequences of the preparations that you’ve made for the last twenty years or so. You will gain more responsibilities in your professional life. If you are ever to be a leader, it is now!
Sagittarius-Eagle’s View
You are approaching a life peak. All your ambitions and efforts should bear their greatest fruit as Saturn moves through your solar or natal 9th house. Don’t assume you have reached the point of complete understanding. You may become narrow minded, unless you remain open to new discoveries about yourself and the world.
Capricorn-Sharing
This transit brings into focus finances and possessions that you hold with others. In a larger way, it brings into question the greater transformations that you have been going through. Now you must come to terms with other people’s values and incorporate them into your life as Saturn moves through you solar or natal 8th house.
Dates to watch for: 1-10th, 11th, 12th-14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 27th, and 29th.
