Saturn is a monster. I know that’s not all very new age and comforting and the mountain goat up the mountain, but that’s my image for today.
That Saturn is a monster in chains and she’s rattling her chains and it’s like that post I put up the other day, comparing the zombies in The Walking Dead to Saturnian fears. They are coming for you. Wherever Saturn is holding in your chart now. And you will experience it and it will threaten to submerge you until you get some solid ground there. What is the solid ground? The solid ground is Saturn sextiling Pluto in CAPRICORN. The solid ground is other people. People you can trust. Not the undead.
With Saturn in Libra, we could detatch. We could make nice. We could lose weight and put on lipstick and pretend we were new and/or different. Saturn in Scorpio, conversely, is a cry from the abyss and reminds us that we still have crap to sort through and some of those crap mountains are pretty high and stank.
“Don’t panic” a friend of mine said today and she’s right. I think we’re all going to have to slow down. Saturn in Scorpio is like swimming with ankle weights.
I don’t want to end on too depressing a note. I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone if Saturn in the early degrees of Scorpio is dragging you down. And sometimes that’s the most, and even the best, that we can have: that others are here, with you.

I checked back because a lot happened in those years – the Saturn transit was great, it was Pluto following that shot it all to hell.
I had a ball last time Saturn was in Scorpio. Hope it’s as good this time:)
From what I recall, if I have the years right… things started to get better for me during that transit….
“We could make nice. We could lose weight and put on lipstick and pretend we were new and/or different.”
I was just talking to myself, realizing about how I don’t need that. Right now, I would LOVE new make-up & facebook pics trying to make me seem as something other than I am. “oh look at me doing something that makes me look more than you previously thought i was!!!!11~~~” lmaooo. Guess I wanted fake comfort from that.
But I don’t need it to hide… I’m just going to work where I’m at. Change comes from the inside anyway. 🙂
Thanks for the reassurance that I was right t let that go.
You’re welcome, Flowers!
yes, the crap mountains are pretty high and now they are really visible! No brushing under carpet. Literally gave myself an out-loud PEP-talk last night to try and get on top of the demons in the crap mountain. I think it worked somewhat, gonna keep hollering at myself and not let myself sink into that dang crap mountain. This isn’t a depressing post, it’s realistic and fortifying.
thank u
Your words are a comfort, as always. Saturn in Scorpio is now in my 11th, opposing Chiron. An old friend died this week, and one of my best friends dumped me cold. I know she is struggling with an enormous burden and has been for a while. I can’t quite believe it yet. When I look at my chart, the reality of the situation is undeniable. I spent a day crying and the next day I woke up with resolve. I’m going to be happy, regardless. I’m going to endeavour to enjoy my life because I know it is precious.
Kashy…
I haven’t been following you too terribly long, but this entry impressed me…I thought, ‘damn, she’s good!’ I’m 6th house Scorpio sun, moon and Asc in Gemini. Thanks for rocking 🙂
lol i’m rocking away 🙂 thanks Gloria
I started laughing too because I just saw “Frankenweenie” today and thought of the Turtle going through the fairground like Godzilla. Anyway, good to know I am not alone. Better get used to concrete shoes for awhile.
lol
A favorite Rothko…thank you

As I read this over for the third time I started laughing hysterically because I really did buy a lot of new lipstick while trying to gloss over (no pun intended) my Libra season problems! *Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…* Thanks for this post.
Do you know what, Aliza?
I am cool with all that impending Saturn weightiness.
My last 18 months have been marred by a serious loss of personal and professional confidence as he has been visiting my 12th.
Last week I began feeling less a dilettante and more a serious contender. Feeling my age. Soon to be 43! Woohoo!
This is business time (Flight of the Concords “It’s Business Time” is awesome BTW)
And once again thank you for posting your pearls of wisdoms.
