Saturn in Leo 2005

Change is inevitable. The world continues to spin on its axis and the effect of it on our lives is what we each decide to make of it. Saturn is changing signs from Cancer to Leo. Are you ready?

SATURN IS ENTERING LEO at 5:34am PDT/8:34am EDT/2:34pm GMT on Saturday July 16, 2005 for two-and-a-half years, after a two-and-a-half year sojourn in the sign of Cancer. But perhaps sojourn is not a word that adequately describes what Saturn does as it transits through any sign. Saturn’s orbit is slower than those of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. While it moving so slowly through a sign, it does some serious work on you, giving you the energy to redefine and refine yourself in some area of your life. If you resist it can be painful; if you are mature about it and do the right thing, it is rewarding.


FROM CUB TO LION/LIONESS:

Saturn last entered Leo at 10:11pm June 4, 1976/1:11am June 5, 1976 (EDT)/7:11am GMT on June 5, 1976. It was a time of assessing what was in our individual and collective hearts and what we needed to do to recover from the wounds we had suffered during the time of Saturn in Cancer. How were we going to heal? What did we know we had to have the courage to address? Where did we need to be brave? What needed to be cleansed from our hearts? Where were we being stubborn? Where were we creating frustration? Were we ready to open our hearts? What did we need to learn and did we need to return to school for an education in something? Where was your ego over inflated? What did we not learn morally and ethically the previous few years while Saturn was in Cancer? Whatever it was we were forced to reap the consequences of our actions; either we reaped reward and advanced because we had acted honorably and forthrightly, or we reaped scorn, obstacles, ridicule and reprimand because we had acted immaturely in our own self-interest and self-protection and most likely lied about it the entire time by claiming we were doing it for the interests and protection of others. Now we must start maturing. Like the Jack Nicholson line in the movie “The Shining”, Saturn is saying “Honey, I’m home”.

The same things life themes that occurred about thirty years ago are playing again and will get top billing.

There are ways to handle this energy in a mature and positive manner, depending on where your natal and transiting Saturn are located. Saturn may be the Lord of Karma, but it is also The Teacher and empowers us to DO THE RIGHT THING in our lives. When you do, Saturn is the planet that brings the energy of reward.
