Saturn in Scorpio has a sixth sense

Solving mysteries behind the scenes will be the work of Saturn in Scorpio.  This paternal teacher spirals from cooperative Libra to serious Scorpio this Friday, October 5th, ending 3 years of holding us accountable for commitments we’ve made to others.  

Since October 30, 2009, Saturn in Libra strengthened the structure and endurance of our partnerships.  Karmic “agreements” have been fulfilled by taking responsibility for our moral debts.  Not yet?  Only 5 more days ‘til this window closes!

Saturn’s sojourn in Scorpio (October 5th, 2012 - December 24th, 2014) will be marked by a drive for success through persistence, determination, and thoroughness.  Visionary solutions are provided up front, as Saturn makes an immediate liaison with “I have a dream” Neptune.

Saturn was last in Scorpio 29 years ago, August 24th, 1983 to November 17, 1985. Your deepest desires emerged then, and again now, as a determined, even obsessive, drive for power.  Someone carrying the Scorpion intensity entered your life to help you heal an old wound, or wounded you further.  This same energy returns now, at a higher octave.  

Patience and persistence Grasshopper
. A diligent Scorpio Saturn will be a hard taskmaster, with little patience for laziness, debts, or an unwillingness to do the work.  

The Force of freedom by fulfilling responsibilities is with you.  
Here’s a predictive look at Saturn in your horoscope:


Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Close relationships with others have weathered 3 years of testing your ability to cooperate, without losing your uniqueness.  Now you know which expectations from others you’re willing to fulfill, and which ones you’ll disregard.  You’re beginning a deeper transformation, honoring your values in the face of enticements to “sell” your freedoms.  At the same time you’ll be experiencing intimate emotional encounters, the birthplace of mutual awareness, dissolving any sense of separateness.  You emerge as a woman of independent means.

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
You’re going public.  If you haven’t been receiving much recognition for all your hard work, you’ll begin to do so now.   For the past 3 years, you’ve been preparing for a debut.  Now, the culmination of years of  effort emerge in visionary solutions.  Your ability to define yourself on your own terms may be challenged by others who see that you are quite accomplished in balancing your inner needs with outer duties.  They’ll ask you to prove it.  Hence, you’re taking the stage to show them that you are a woman of your word, you fulfill your agreements.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
What you’re leaving behind this week is Saturn in the place of the unloved child, or that creative part of you that did not get recognition even from yourself.  In the past 3 years (since October 30, 2009) you’ve come to love yourself, to recognize your significance.  And you’ve done it while carrying heavy responsibilities regarding children and romance.  You’ve been sorely tempted to withdraw, which would only have meant avoiding the people who are good for you.  As Saturn enters Scorpio, you’ll begin to seriously explore the power of mind over matter, and the keys to the unconscious mind.  You’re looking for nothing less than the rhythmic balance of healing.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
You’re finishing a reshuffling of your definition of, and reliance on, home and security.  You no longer carry the child’s idea of safety.  During the past 3 years, you’ve built your own stable foundation.  Now, Saturn in Scorpio gives you the sustained careful discipline necessary to take what you’ve created into the marketplace.  To give form to your art.  There may be a school of hard knocks ahead, just don’t let it cause you to withdraw or avoid confrontation.  You’re going to express yourself in the most effective way possible, and earn money doing it!

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
Since October 30, 2009, your inquiring mind has taken flight in new territory as you analyzed and focused on putting order to volumes of information.  Sometimes worry and fear of criticism left you barely able to catch your breath, yet some unusual mental gifts have been set free.  Several years of preparation have come to an end.  Saturn in Scorpio ushers in a new beginning.  You will emerge from a dormancy, in terms of outward success, and move forward and upward, achieving your ambitions.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
A 3 year period of feeling financially insecure is ending.  You’ve been driven to work hard and accumulate wealth, and you’ve done that through building your capacity to earn a livelihood.  You’re now going to deliberately restructure your skills in speaking and listening by subjecting old habits and attitudes to a keen scrutiny.  You’re going for a brilliance in communicating, without the inhibitions of judgement and blame.  Your mind will be filled with the fresh air of curiosity!

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
Since October 30, 2009, you’ve been earning an advanced degree in self-confidence, particularly when it comes to relationships.  You’ve been synthesizing all that is best in you.  Now your solid integrity fuels an intense drive for success as Serious Saturn dives into Scorpio for the next 3 years.  You’ll structure your finances so that they take a backseat to you inner values and personal sense of worth.  You’re developing a shrewd business sense, with prudence, farsightedness, and hard work.  Material gain and easy access to wealth comes through an inner or outer authority.  But it’s most likely that the wealth you truly value comes through a loving relationship.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Since October 30, 2009, Saturn has traveled through your house of karma, requiring you to let go of many ambitions that were driven by patterns from the past.  The decks have been cleared, so that you attain an inner serenity by transcending the ego.  This culminating time of adversity now gives way to new beginnings in which you discover and commit to your deepest inner needs.  Your journey now is inward, and work may be a bothersome distraction.  You’ll release the energies of limitless vitality, self-confidence and enthusiasm as you get an intuitive perception of your own worth.   You’ll decide that you deserve the very best!

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
During the past 3 years you’ve immersed yourself in the collective group consciousness and found ways to serve the deeper needs of humanity.  If you’d ever struggled with feeling alone or aloof, you’ve now solved it with a true sense of belonging to humankind.  Now, with Saturn moving into Scorpio, your goal is to be relieved of the bondage of ego self.  You are entering the butterflies cocoon, where you will transform guilt and blame, losing your old sense of identity as a flawed human being.  All mistakes are erased, like old chalk on a blackboard.  There are no battles, only surrender. 


Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
It’s harvest time in which you’ve reaped the rewards of 3 years of hard work and heavy responsibilities.  Yet your high achievements in the material world demanded a sacrifice (Saturn is famous for this!) of your personal life.  You’ve had an opportunity to shine, and become clear about the purpose behind your ambitions.  Now you take your achievements and responsibilities to the level of group consciousness, to contribute to humankind.  You cannot sustain the “lone wolf” aloofness of personal success.  You’ll take your butterfly kisses, your hopes and desires for humanity, to pierce the bubbles of superficiality.  You’re learning to truly belong.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Since October 30, 2009, you’ve been living in the birthplace of thought and desire for a meaningful life.  You’ve become connected to spiritual laws through your intuitive perceptions of human behavior and consciousness.  Now, for your next 3 years, Saturn in Scorpio moves into his natural “home” in Capricorn’s own 10th house of fatherhood and career.  Your search for cosmic meaning will find a place in your ambitions.  You’re entering the time of harvest, when all your hard work and heavy responsibilities pay dividends.  You’re about to make a big impression on the world through your unique individualism and leadership.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Good news!  This week you complete a 3 year journey through the point of crisis, the place of struggling to maintain your individuality in the face of emotional and monetary exchanges with significant others.  Conflicts regarding vulnerability versus control have helped you take a stand.  You’ve refused to sell out for the transient relief of drugs or illusions.  Now, with Saturn entering Scorpio in your 9th house of the higher mind, you’re going back to school for your PhD in Spiritual Laws.  Your keen intuitive perception will help develop optimistic solutions.  During the next 3 years,  you will round the corner of the highest mountain top at sunrise, and see the Truth.

Libra's Autumnal Equinox

Stand on the equator Saturday morning and you’ll be perfectly aligned with the center of the Sun.  The equi (equal) nox (night) is a time of equal parts light and darkness.  On this teetering balance, Libra will make her graceful entrance.  

But first, expect radical changes, and breakthroughs beginning Tuesday evening.  Our direction in life has a seismic  challenge.  Look for open doors as we tip our hats to the second pinnacle of the New Revolution.

Earthquakes and Lightning

Darth Vader drops his mask tonight, unveiling secrets and hidden wounds that can heal under the forgiving light of Cancer’s nurturing Moon.  

The 1st pinnacle of the New Revolution (June 24th) was a cosmic intervention that toppled old beliefs that blocked our vision of how magnificent and powerful we truly are.  Physicists saw through a limiting belief system and announced the discovery of the God Particle, a tiny speck of creation.

Can’t we imagine ourselves as brilliant collections of creation particles?  The 2nd pinnacle of revolutionary transformations will be September 19th.  Our masks cracking.

Venus in Leo will make lovely harmonic music with Uranus this week, adding the creative fire of her love to his lightning bolts of change.  It’s time to put your goals on stage.  The Virgo New Moon this Saturday (7:11 PM, PDT) is rich soil for new ideas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
When the Virtuous Virgo Sun sits down with Mental Mercury early Monday morning, it starts your week with a sharpened mind.  You need to focus on your Taurus gift of purposeful determination and power.  Otherwise the brilliant efficiency in practical matters, a talent that you share with Virgo, will degenerate into the fervent need to be right.  This shifts joyously at midweek when the Moon and Venus sing to you in beautiful harmonies about your relationships.  Your marvelous ability to give and receive love is wide open!  

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The strong need to be right clouds your judgement Monday morning, calling for a need to loosen up some of your most “treasured” opinions.  It’s an overdose of Virtuous Virgo!  But hang on, Wednesday morning Venus opens you up to a renewed sense of your own beauty.  The Virgo New Moon on Saturday stirs up your discerning mental processes, looking for perfection.  It does exist, in your heart.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)

Leo (July 22-August 22)
A restless need to get out there and get what you what, even if it’s making you miserable, could overcome reason on Monday morning.  If you’re walking a path that’s full of opinionated potholes, get out your torch and pave it with your integrity, generosity and nobility of spirit.  Otherwise you’ll find yourself resenting anyone who challenges your opinions, even if they show you a better way.  The Moon fires up in Leo Tuesday evening (8:01 PM, PDT), making the rest of your week a playful time that’s filled with the imagination of a child.  

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You’ll fight for your opinions Monday morning, whether or not it makes you happy!  The stage is set for a week of putting practical organization to those visions that have been dancing in your head since June.  Let your fears be swept like a tornado.  Midweek becomes a time of sweetness and light when the Leo Moon strikes up a fun flirtation with Venus, the goddess of love.  With both these planets under the influence of your favorite lover Leo, the rest of the week is bound to be full of creativity and play.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
The Cancer Moon in opposition to Darth Vader on Sunday evening uncovers uncomfortable secrets.  Yet you can trust what you see.  Then, the big kick-off to your week comes Monday morning when Warrior Mars in Scorpio takes your mind to a healthy workout at the gym.  Abundant mental energy joins with endurance and depth to make you capable of bringing practical form to your ingenious ideas.  This is the week to put your most deeply held beliefs into action.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Your week starts with an instinctive craving for action, which is driven by your very sharp mental focus.  If life has gotten you into a dither lately (there’s been so much perfectionistic Virgo energy!), Wednesday morning offers you a respite in the open arms of love.  Venus in fiery Leo creates a lovely harmonic chorus with you, and with the surprising god of lightning in Aries.  Romance and relationships of all kinds are in for a charming change.  

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Your Aquarian air stirs up a few tornados of your own this week when humanitarian interests clash with a desire for perfection.  All the Virtuous Virgo energy that you’re now experiencing can degenerate into an opinionated stubbornness unless you keep your eye on the big picture.  Your moods lifts midweek when Venus brings you the opportunity to experience the oneness and peace that brings meaning to your life.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The Moon comes home to your harmonic friend Cancer at 9:49 PM, PDT on Sunday morning.  It’s a day to stay close to home and hearth.  Warrior Mars shows up Monday morning with a typical Scorpion mode of action, which is to dig deeper in order to get to the bottom of what you truly value.  Just remember, Scorpio will show this to you through very intense emotions.  By midweek you’ll get a direct experience of the warmth and loyalty connecting you to everyone you love.  Happiness. The Moon moves into Virgo during the wee hours of Friday morning (2:31 AM, PDT).  While you are still sleeping, the Moon walks into a fog bank of the visionary illusions from Neptune in Pisces.  Catch your dreams.

Under the Virgo Sun

Our minds are marching to the precision drumming of the CEO of the Zodiac, Virgo.  Problems get solved this week with Virgo’s exacting craftsmanship combined with Mental Mercury’s studious accuracy.

The opening act is the hot-blooded Aries Moon being jolted by lightning bolts out of the blue from Urgent Uranus.  This up front and personal Moon joins with the mythic god of lightning to guarantee
surprising shifts in perception, fueled by wide awake intuition. 

As she's leaving Cancer Thursday morning, the goddess of love packs a yummy lunch-to-go so she won’t be late for her premiere appearance on Leo’s creative stage (7:48 AM, PDT).   She may put on airs, but her boldness in romance is so engaging we'll forgive her overindulgences!  Venus in Leo wins our hearts with her loyalty and creative passion. 


The Force of waking up is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of September 2, 2012:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Sunday the Acrobatic Aries Moon is happily doing cartwheels when she lands on the god of lightning, sparking her mood with sudden changes and adding merriment to his game plan.  Your heightened intuitive abilities and original imagination pick up on the excitement in the air. You're looking for something unconventional to do. You turn (or trip) over the Taurus tortoise and
discover an untapped gold mine of personal resources, some quite surprising. It just gets better starting Friday when Venus moves into Leo for the next four weeks. Wildfires like this actually create new growth.  

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Profoundly profitable.  That describes your week.  This gets highlighted on Tuesday when the Moon gets to sit down and take a load off in the earthy arms of your Talented Taurus (8:41 AM, PDT).  Take this opportunity to let the high energy of Sunday and Monday settle into a deeper groove.   Mental Mercury in Virgo is your helpful sidekick, and he’s holding a very successful board meeting with Powerful Pluto, voting you in for a period of sustained emotional well-being.  A thorough look at your resources finds a buried treasure.  A wealth you didn’t know you had.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Although Virgo has your feet on the ground, your week is so loaded with fantasies and imagination that you may loose your head anyway!  The Moon packs up her Taurus treasures and climbs the airwaves of Curious Gemini at 9:10 Thursday evening.  There’s a lift in your mood and an opening in your heart.  Just before the weekend, watch for flashes of genius, the one thing that’s hard to overdo this week. The last quarter square of the Virgo Sun and the Gemini Moon marks a day of reconnoitering this Saturday.  What have you done with the opportunities that arrived about 21 days ago?  Cut loose what isn’t working, and put your energy in things showing signs of success.   Romantic respite this weekend.  Log off and relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Surprises are in store for you, particularly Monday.  They’ll come at you fast.  The goddess of love is spending five more days in your sign, so you’ve enjoyed an extra dose of very sweet home since August 7th.  But on her way out your door, Venus gets a cold shoulder from Serious Saturn in Libra, dampening your spirits.  It’s enough to make you want to say goodbye to a comfortable situation, but don’t.  Saturn just wants you to take a sober look at your relationships, particularly with family members.  Any pie-in-the-sky dreams will crash, but the time tested connections are becoming more secure.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Love to see you glow!  This week your heart warms, your energy is high, and a sunny welcome is in your big smile--once you get through a mid-week snare of negativity.  Thursday evening the goddess of love appears center stage in your life, lavish, ardent and theatrical.  For the next 26 days your love of life paints everything around you in vivid technicolor.  The weekend is your time to shine, especially if your birthday falls in early August.  You’ll bring happiness, and likely beautiful music, to everyone.  

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Burn your to-do lists in the birthday candles!  If your birthday is this weekend, you’ll start your personal New Year at a pivotal time in the lunar cycle.  The stage is set for you to use your wise discernment (Virgo) and consciously let go of the need to multi-task (Gemini) or set insanely high standards.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Inspired and innovative, you start your week on fire with energy.  Still, you may be tempted to put love under a microscope.  Don't.  Your muse, Venus, is spending her last days in Cancer, and Serious Saturn (yes, he’s still in Libra for 5 more weeks!) throws a chilly wet blanket over her In the wee hours of Monday morning. Saturn’s sober look at your relationships can be helpful, but a somber look, you have to say no.  Venus gets a fresh start in Leo Thursday evening, where she gets to be her lavishly loving self for the next 26 days.  Love’s in full bloom.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Put your feet up and relax.  This week moves you closer and closer to the kind of meticulous thinking that dots the i’s and crosses the t’s and helps you decide on better nutrition, better health, better investments.   After you duck some of the impulsive vibes of Sunday and Monday, you find yourself happily content with a slower pace, courtesy of Taurus the Tortoise.  Time to let the powerful transformations Pluto is bringing you settle in.  A thorough look at your resources finds a buried treasure.  A wealth you didn’t know you had.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
The Virgo Sun gets a dose of overindulgence from a too Generous Jupiter in Gemini, your intellectual buddy.  Virgo’s love of shopping, combined with the loose generosity of Jupiter, makes the end of the week a dangerous time to be at the mall.  You’ll have a tendency to rationalize lots of purchases on the grounds that it’s such a bargain!  Under the heady influence of this weekend’s Gemini Moon, you sparkle with flashes of ingenious ideas and intuitive hunches.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The in-sync well-being you have this week, will have you feeling competently in charge of your life.  Mercury in Virgo gets a helpful push from Warrior Mars in Scorpio around mid-week to re-examine the bottom line, and look for hidden clues in the fine print.  Nobody loves reading the fine print, even exacting Virgo, but a helpful Warrior Mars in the intense waters of Scorpio points out where a few hidden details could come back later to sting you.  Pay attention to surprises that pop up.
