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 Tenth 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 Tenth House matters in your life, such as work and career, what you’re doing with your life, and what you contribute to the world in general just by existing and doing what you do.
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!
Well, let’s be honest here: often getting up in the morning and going to work can be awful, even if you love your job. But if you’ve been on a life path that no longer suits you (but you’ve put up with it because hey, it’s a living, right?) then you may find the pressure to go elsewhere gets turned up… otherwise your job may leave you with no other choice than to, as the euphemism goes, “seek opportunities elsewhere.” And if you’re already looking for work, are you doing it wrong somehow?
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…
“Workin’ in a coal mine
Goin’ down, down
Workin’ in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin’ in a coal mine
Goin’ down, down
Workin’ in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
‘Cause I make a little money
Haulin’ coal by the ton
When Saturday rolls around
I’m too tired for havin’ fun”
Is this REALLY what you’re supposed to be doing with your life?
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’.
