Your introduction to Saturn in Sagittarius (and details for the other eleven Signs) is HERE. I’ll update it every three months or so, so keep coming back!
What’s in it for me?
“Saturn in Sagittarius” means that Saturn is now in your Sixth House and will remain there until December 2017, and regardless of the transits it makes to individual points in your chart along the way, it will also have a general effect on the Sixth House matters in your life, such as your work habits, how you organize your time and resources, and (in many cases) your physical health.
What kind of effect does Saturn usually have?
Saturn brings structure and order and discipline to your life, which are all good and necessary things. Unfortunately it has a bad reputation, because frankly most people love the idea of “structure and order” until it is imposed on them… like a home with a leaky roof that you keep patching and ignoring over and over again until the thing finally caves in on you one day. Listen to what The Universe is telling you needs repair or restoration or throwing out in your life, take action, and ultimately your life will be much better, and you will have avoided the roof falling on your head and smashing your collection of vintage Batman collectables.
But yeah: no one ever really calls Saturn “fun,” unless they are either being sarcastic or are hoping your roof collapses on you.
That sounds awful!
It doesn’t have to be. The Sixth House is where all the little details go that a successful life is built on — the Fourth House may be your foundation, but the Sixth is where you (literally or figuratively) keep and organize your basic resources. It’s that urge to check your pocket for your keys before you leave for the day, in a sense… and since it comes before the Seventh House (partnerships) it can be argued that this transit is like the last chance to check your hair and your breath before you go on that Big Date, literally or figuratively. Also: start paying attention to your health and health habits… you aren’t getting any younger, you know.
So Saturn in Sagittarius might actually be good news for me?
Yes, if you respond to the challenges you’ll face in the departments of your life listed above with hard work, discipline, and a little faith in yourself and in The Universe in general.
Something to contemplate…
“Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
Surprises, let me know she cares
Say it ain’t so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home”
It’s nice to be of service to a loved one… but can you show the same degree of attention to yourself?
Anything else?
Two things: first of all, don’t panic over this Saturn transit. It’s going to cover a two year period, and even if it makes trouble for you at times it’s not like every day of that period is going to stink. Secondly: no matter what House Saturn is passing through on your birth chart, you should always remember that the transits of all the planets, specific to your birth chart, is what will tell the whole story. That’s when it comes in handy knowing an astrologer who offers discounts to first-time clients. Just sayin’.
