~ Saturn in Virgo ~

Written Fall, 2007

Dates Saturn is in Virgo:
9/20/07 ~ 10/29/09 & 4/8/10 ~ 7/21/10

Saturn is now changing signs for the first time in 2 1/2 years. This is always a significant event that many feel quite strongly, even if they do not know exactly what may be creating this.

Whenever Saturn changes signs we sense that our life is moving into new territory; that we are closing the book on one phase of our lives and that a new one is about to emerge. The sign in which it occurs gives us dictates as to what is next on our agenda. And the house in which Saturn transits in your own chart is the area of your life most affected. A reading will enlighten you as to what this is and how to be better prepared for this important event. But let’s take a look at what Saturn entering Virgo will be emphasizing for us all.

The sign of Virgo loves order and efficiency. And Saturn is all about purpose, intention and goals. Hence, this combo will increase our desire, and need, for creating a basic structure that supports our Goals and Purpose. The basic structure of your life has Saturn’s prints all over it. So while Saturn is in Virgo, we will be drawn, even compelled, to get our lives in order and to create structures and systems that will support that happening.

While Saturn is in Virgo, its primary purpose(s) will be to:

To help us get our house/office/business/health in order so that it “runs smoothly” and efficiently.
To give us tools, means and ways to accomplish this very thing.
To clear out the clutter, both physically and mentally.
To help us to find meaning in how we spend our time and our days.

Saturn energies, when used in constructive and positive ways, can help you to:

Evaluate where you are (honestly).
Eliminate habits and ways of doing things that are counter-productive to your goals (it is the planet of discipline).
Help you to define your purpose and intentions, in any given area of your life.
To teach and/or show us the value of Living on Purpose.

Remember, Saturn will be here over two years, and so you will have time to make all this happen. I will say that I have already noticed that many are feeling this shift to “get their life together”, starting with getting more organized in some way. And in fact, the early weeks and months of Saturn’s presence in Virgo are going to be particularly strong in this way. So don’t be surprised if you, too, will look around your office or your home and say “Enough! I simply cannot live with this clutter and disorganization any longer!” If this is you, get excited that you are tuned into this planetary shift and that you are ready to take charge of your life in this way.

Here are some questions to ask in the coming weeks that will help you to best take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to “get it together”!

What makes me feel most frustrated and ineffective?
How do I waste my time? My money? My resources?
What have I been meaning to do forever and haven’t gotten to?
What can I eliminate from my life that is draining my time, energy and resources?
Where do I want to be in one year? In three years? (etc.)
