Saturn in Scorpio
(Oct. 5, 2012 – Dec. 23, 2014 & June 14 – Sept. 17, 2015)
Astrologically, Saturn is often referred to as “The Lord of Karma” or “The Great Malefic” and sometimes “The Task Master,” all of which can provoke feelings of pessimism and negativity. Rarely are Saturn’s countless hidden gifts emphasized upon first contemplating this great planet’s Astrological significations.
Saturn is the planet that represents structure, social-political systems and authority, as well as the awareness of time and karma. He is the harbinger of the blatant recognition of a long standing way of life that is no longer serving us. With Saturn’s ingress into Scorpio we will find ourselves investing time to restructure the area of our lives reflected by the zodiacal sign of Scorpio. Astrologically, Scorpio represents issues involving power—or lack thereof— death and rebirth; transmutation and regeneration; deep-seated unconscious patterns, compulsions and obsessions; secrets and mysticism; and security and resources. Saturn will bring awareness and a need for dynamic change—individually as well as collectively—to any of these Scorpionic qualities in need of transformation.
Saturn in Scorpio will shine its light into the darkness of corrupt financial sectors and expose their abusive power driven agendas. On a personal level, you will be encouraged to delve into the caverns of your own psyche to access your personal authenticity and power. You will also find inspiration to transform outmoded patterns that sabotage your truest desires. Additionally, the conservation of resources—again, both individually and collectively—will be highlighted during this period. This is especially true for Scorpios because Saturn will transit directly over your Sun. If you are between the ages of 28-30 or 58-60 you are experiencing or about to experience your Saturn return, a major maturation and turning point in life.
Mindful awareness is required at the onset of a significant Saturn transit and we are encouraged to use integrity in all our dealings throughout its duration. The Saturnian journey often leads us into solemn periods of reflection where we may find ourselves feeling dejected, disillusioned and thwarted to move into the future we desire. Simultaneously, Saturn can promote new career heights, responsibilities and leadership recognition. If we consciously embrace Saturn’s wise teachings we can emerge with unexpected treasures and a more dynamic and productive life.
Saturnian transits and aspects bring us to a crossroads and provide opportunities to hasten our evolution. They usher in a profound time period, which if embraced, can ultimately bring great wisdom, a deeper meaning to life and awareness of self, maturation, humility and freedom by releasing that which no longer serves us.
