Good Morning, Stargazers! I couldn’t sleep at all last night and am hoping this post isn’t riddled with typos that I’ll have to fix after my second cup of coffee. I’d love to blame the Scorpio Moon. Or Saturn going direct. Or the Full Moon eclipse on Wednesday. Take your pick of astro-happenings: any one of them could cause a sleepless night 😉
Here’s what I wrote last night, at around four in the morning, BCT, Big City Time: Â Saturn turning direct and I feel speechless. Meaning that I don’t feel anything and maybe this is a preview of Saturn squaring my Mercury or, really, what is there to say now? We have been WAITING.
Now, a Retrograde outer planet definitely has a different energy than a direct-motion outer planet and with Saturn the differences are palpable. Conversely, Pluto and Neptune, for example, are such slow-movers and spend such a good portion of time in retrograde, well, I just wonder if anyone really feels the difference and yes my Cancer stellium privileges *feelings* above all other ways of understanding the world.
Full disclosure, Saturn (friend of Capricorn) went Retrograde in square to my (not a friend of Capricorn) Cancer Sun. And I was happy for the release from that pressure. Now I’m just hoping he will skip degrees 13 through 28 of Libra, and skip squaring my Sun/Mercury/Mars. Ever known a Saturnian type to skip? Didn’t think so 😉
Astrologers tend to look at the larger themes, but hell I have too much Virgo for that on no sleep. I’m a detail person and I insist that you return to your natal chart.  So find the house in your chart where you have Libra and you can begin to see the areas of your life that will be most affected by this Saturn transit. And then go around the chart, planet by planet, searching for where and when Saturn will aspect your junk 🙂
If you don’t know how to do this, I recommend learning it in person from someone. The visuals are so helpful. If you are local, you can learn it from me.
Note to self: back to sleep
Keep up with me on Facebook and Twitter! And yes, I do readings after a good night’s sleep.

Moonpluto, you are a writing machine, I can barely keep up:) My 10th House…back over my Pluto again! waning with the square to my Cappy Moon! YAY! Hurry up Saturn, and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. MEOW.
Hi Kashmiri! My thoughts exactly. Saturn in Scorpio ready?
I feel like getting out bed now! Seriously 😀
Excellent! Getting out of bed is a great thing to do. Katagiri Roshi, Zen Buddhist, said that the only cure for getting out of bed is… getting out of bed 🙂
Well MoonPluto, before a serious love can happen, an unhealthy and unhappy entanglement must end. That’s the reasons for the butterflies in my guttage.
… And why use beautiful butterflies to describe the unpleasant feeling of nerves? Strange…
Joanna, this is THE time for you to define (saturn) love (venus)… AND Saturn is in Libra and your Venus is in Libra: it couldn’t be more perfect! Can’t you see? The universe is, well, not just talking to you but lecturing???? And I don’t mean me!!!! I mean BIG BIG Universe.
RE: unhappy and unhealthy entanglements: They end when they end and not a moment too soon, in my opinion. They play out. Maybe everyone on the stage winds up dead, but…. I know how it is. The caterpillar becomes a butterfly after how long? You are on your way to becoming the butterfly. Remember, Saturn is time, timing.
And another thing: this Saturn transit will be happening in my 12th house and I have just read up on this and I continue feeling nervous….
If I were you, Joanna, I wouldn’t do too much Google research. After all, they don’t have *your* chart in front of them. It’s just general info. You already know what Saturn thru your 12th is.. You’ve been living it! I think Saturn going direct is the best thing for everyone, besides.. inevitable! We’ve had our “break” now… we move again. And like I wrote in my other response, trining your Mars is pretty damn good. Conjuncting your Venus Jupiter okay okay that can feel like… shit.. BUT BUT…. I mean maybe you feel ugly or pessimistic or rejected or rejectable or out of luck (having Saturn on those two benefics) but.. Saturn will keep moving AND there are lessons (yippeee!) here being shown to you about love and relationships and defining what those are, what those mean for you. NOW is your time. 12th House? Hard to see? Hard to find? Hard to learn? Hard to grasp? Your job (Saturn) is to access the information in *other* ways i.e. in 12th House ways – through dreams.. through visions… through the psychic/spiritual realms.. thru service…..
Hmmm..This new Saturn direct will be striding alongside my natal Venus and Jupiter at those degrees in Libra and forming a trine to my Mars in Aquarius.
Methinks I shall read up on this because your post sounded IMPORTANT!
Come to think of it why do I have a sense of foreboding about this transit?
Saturn is serious. That could be your foreboding right there! And Saturn Venus? Saturn Venus Jupiter? You got serious love on your mind? I hope so 🙂 From what you’ve written here though, I don’t think you need to “forebode” though. Just.. .pay attention, which you’re likely already doing. And trining Mars? Sounds good to me…Serious love.
Saturn in Libra mostly plays nicely with my chart except for my lonely little Cancer Venus. I’m glad it’s turned direct. Hopefully things will progress.
So strange, Lupa. I was dreaming about you and woke to find ur comment here! Happy Scorpio Moon to you 🙂
