Loading ...SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS
The transit of Saturn through Sagittarius begins from December 23, 2014 through June 15, 2015 (retrogrades back into Scorpio) and then into Sagittarius from September 18, 2015 through December 20, 2017.
Saturn energy is one of structure, of discipline, of reality and the equation of reality with truth; its function is to limit, to set rules, to set boundaries…it is the planet of karma.
Sagittarius belongs to the element fire, hence is energetic, hasty, and enthusiastic. It is a mutable sign, comparable to molten metal, aggressive and impulsive, but not dominating. It is a masculine sign, positive and forceful. The nature of the sign values personal freedom and self expression, therefore, is ambivalent in its relationship to the social order. Sagittarius is associated with idealism, with those who cannot accept the status quo and who would thus reform society.
Saturn in fire sign Sagittarius corresponds to constriction, over-compensation, disillusionment and pain…the kind of pain represented by the loss of faith and a general search for a new framework of spiritual and moral values by which the life may be given structure and meaning.
Saturn in Sagittarius will put a crimp in the urge to expand and understand, creating a barrier between conscious personality and intuitive perception. It will be the responsibility of the individual to understand and experience the meaning and sphere of the fiery element (related to the function of the intuition)…an element in which Saturn is not comfortable…and, when restrictions arise, to see Saturn as a motive, leading to a process, resulting in growth.
Sagittarius, a dual sign, corresponds to laws…both the man-made laws that deal with the structuring of society for the protection of its people and Spiritual law, reflected in human behavior, rarely understood. Saturn’s transit through this sign is connected with the understanding and development of intuitive perception and wisdom. Those who have prepared their minds (souls), on an esoteric level may be brought to the point of initiation during this transit.
The expression of Saturn through the houses – either posited in the house or ruling it by having Capricorn on the cusp – influences the events of the department of life mapped by that house via poverty (lack). Saturn tends to that which is practical and concrete. Whatever good comes from his influence is the result of carefully laid plans, plodding effort, subtlety, craft, and cunning. His tendency is to accomplish through deception rather than through force.
FOR PEOPLE IN GENERAL: Those born under Mutable signs – Gemini – Virgo – Sagittarius – Pisces – are now under the gun…challenges and tough lessons on deck. It is time to take better care of your health. A Saturn to Sun transit generally affects the vitality so if your body sends signals of lack of energy, listen. Rest more often than is usual, don’t push yourself beyond your limits at this time. Listen to what your body is telling you. And walk softly in the area (house) in which your Sun resides.
FOR THE U.S. Saturn has been transiting the 12th house, offering patriots a last chance to preserve the Constitution. On January 12, 2016 Saturn will commence one of the most significant transits of its existence when it crosses the U.S. Ascendant, entering the 1st house and considerably increasing responsibilities of the citizens due to arising difficulties. It will remain in this house into 2019, years of introversion and introspection in which the populace will be given the opportunity to lay a foundation for restructuring their inner lives, a necessity that must precede restructuring the outer life.
Saturn will oppose natal 6th house Uranus in December 2015, encroaching on freedoms. Expect travel restrictions and internet interference (Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, on the 3rd house cusp). Expect health restrictions (Uranus occupying the 6th house). All those who prefer alternative methods of healing would be well served to stockpile vitamins, essential oils, herbs (and the accouterments necessary to make medicine), and tinctures professionally made such as Lomatium, as our respiratory systems are and have been under attack for some time. Totally necessary will be the ability to adapt as various crises surface with employment, police, military, the health industry, communications, and travel.
In addition to the opposition of Saturn to Uranus, on January 2, 2017 Saturn will oppose natal 7th house Mars, attracting fierce frustration with other countries as a damper is put on U.S. aggression. The frustrating circumstances will begin around December 15, 2016 when Saturn comes within a 2* orb of the opposition. Shortly after the exact aspect in January 2017 Saturn will then square natal 9th house Neptune, further creating distress over international events. Color our leaders to be fog-bound.
FOR AUSTRALIA: Saturn has been transiting the 8th house and will be faced with difficulties concerning finances and possessions held with others. Another country with major transformations in store.
FOR CANADA: Saturn has been transiting the 8th house, influencing the treasury and national debt. On December 7, 2016 Saturn will enter the 9th house, giving influence to the judiciary branch, institutions of higher learning and immigration. During its transit through Sagittarius Canada will experience many difficulties as Saturn will square natal Mars, square natal Jupiter and oppose natal Venus.
FOR CHINA: Saturn has been transiting the 10th house of their government and national image, which continues through November 13, 2016. This is the area (house) that represents the harvest; it is a leadership position that encourages achievement.
FOR ENGLAND and FRANCE: Saturn is transiting the 8th house, bringing into focus finances and possessions held with others. Hard transformations are upon these countries.
FOR GERMANY: Saturn has been transiting the 5th house, an area sometimes known for its hazards. The country will face heavy responsibilities concerning the young.
FOR ISRAEL: Saturn has been transiting the 2nd house…the financial state of the nation. The population will be tasked to learn what they really value…not just material things, but also psychological, spiritual and moral values. For them it is a time for restructuring their value system.
FOR NORTH KOREA: Saturn will cross their Ascendant on January 22, 2015. A similar influence as the U.S. in that Saturn crossing the Ascendant will commence one of the most significant transits of its existence and considerably increasing responsibilities of the citizens due to arising difficulties.
FOR RUSSIA: Saturn has been transiting the 4th house, playing havoc with living conditions of the population and national domestic matters, which will continue through November 9, 2016. Saturn will square 1st house Moon in January, February, April, May, and October 2015, raising many domestic difficulties for the Russian people.
FOR TURKEY: Saturn has been transiting the 6th house; the people will be facing a critical time in their development…one of preparation, to put everything in order so as to enable them to make the maximum impact once Saturn crosses the Descendant.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more – more unseen forms become manifest to him. Rumi
