SATURN and YOUR PERSONAL SIGN OR ASCENDANT:

(3/21-4/20)

Saturn will transit your 3rd House of Communication, Writing, Siblings, Neighbors, and the oldest son. This is the sector of your day-to-day life and it is the job of Saturn to put more structure into your existence. Whether you work at home or outside of the home, expect your daily schedule to take on more importance. The way you communicate with others at this time may find you depending more on cell phones, faxes, e-mail and other electronic gadgets to get your message across. Even if your schedule does not undergo any severe changes, it is certain you will gradually find yourself taking on more and more responsibility.

Travel may become an important part of your life at this time, particularly if it is for business purposes. If you are job hunting now, it is likely that the next position you decide to accept will require you to do a great deal of traveling. While Saturn is in Gemini in your 3rd House, it brings the ideal time for you to break away from the negative habits in your day-to-day life, whether the desire is to stop smoking, stop arriving late to work, or stop gossiping, now is the time to clean up your act. Aries natives are generally very focused individuals, but if there is any area of your daily existence where you are lacking, you can be sure that Saturn will put you on the path of change.

(4/21-5/21)

Saturn will transit through your 2nd House of Money and Values. Taurus, you are efficient, practical and highly capable when it comes to handling money. But when Saturn transits your sector of personal finances, there is no telling what you can accomplish, especially at the time when Jupiter aligns with Saturn. WOW!

Many of the Zodiac signs see this as a time of cutbacks, restrictions and even a financial shortage. For Taurus, however, is becomes a different story. You are not afraid of any of these upsets because you have the tendency to impose very strict standards to yourself, especially in the way you handle money. The Saturn in Gemini transit here inspires you to be particularly aggressive in saving money or making sensible investments. You are concerned with resources of all kinds now and eager to put your inventory in order. This is a time when you are likely to become involved in collecting antiques or other decorative objects of value. You have a special appreciation for items that are both beautiful and useful.

It is possible that you may have an opportunity to take on a second job during this transit. Not only do you have the discipline to work harder than usual, but your natural ability and intelligence is well received by others, especially potential employers. If you handle all of your money matters wisely, you can leave this transit much better off than when you began it.

(5/21-6/20)

Saturn will transit your 1st House of self, appearance, confidence, new identity and a possible job change or relocation. In may ways this transit is more favorable to you, Gemini, than any other sign. The Saturn influence is squarely focused on your most personal endeavors and projects. Geminis are not always comfortable under the tutelage of Saturn, but when there are lessons to be learned, there is no better astrological teacher. Many Geminis are impulsive and act in the moment. Now you may learn to stop and think what the outcome will be first.

Throughout this transit period of two and one-half years, you will discover a subtle maturation process at work. On some level most Gemini natives really never grow up! It is all a part of the Peter Pan syndrome which characterizes most of you. However, Saturn is making demands on you that have not been present in your life for many years, and the resultcan be considerable!

Making important personal commitments is one of the hallmarks of this passage. Breaking bad habits and replacing them with good ones come more easily to you now. You are sure to be image-conscious, but not in a frivolous or shallow way. How you present yourself and your ideas is paramount to enhancing your self-esteem at this time.

Saturn will also bring to you the mantle of seriousness, which is uncommon to most Geminis. This is positive and can really work wonders for you because it allow others to see a difference, the more mature side of yourself. That, combined with your amazing wit, is certain to make a favorable impression on everybody. Success comes through work, a move, changing you appearance and how you view and inter-relate with others. Over time, the new you, along with a new perspective and respect, will come forward. Remember Gemini, strength and accomplishment are in the wings, waiting to be developed.

(6/21-7/21)

Saturn will transit your 12th House of illness, hospitals, prisons, secret matters and dreams. This transit of Saturn in Gemini represents a subtle yet important transition in your life. When Saturn moves through the sector of secret wishes and dreams, you are uniquely aware that a long cycle is coming to a conclusion. It takes approximately 29 years for Saturn to make one complete trip around the Zodiac. Each new cycle, celebrated every two and one-half years, completes a learning process so that when Saturn moves back into your 1st House, in 2003, you will begin a new process of life experience.

The passage of Saturn through Gemini at this time represents the final leg of its journey before the new cycle commences. Does this mean that the transit through the 12th House lacks significance? Definitely not. It brings about the final changes preparing you for this new cycle, such as secret enemies undermining you at work, causing a change of jobs and relocation. The necessity to care for an elderly parent in your home. Developing new projects, finishing up with school or job training, bringing with it the possibility of a new life style.

This is a time of increased psychic abilities and awareness as you are keenly attuned to your past, present and future. Cancer people are highly intuitive, and this transit heightens that 6th Sense ability. You can expect dreams to become an important part of your life, and in order to understand their meaning, it is important to keep a dream journal. Once you grow accustomed to exploring this inner world of your own making, you can use this knowledge to confront and solve problems during your sleep states as well as in your waking life.

(7/22-8/22)

Saturn transits your 11th House of friends, groups, love received as well as circumstances beyond your control. The transit of Saturn in Gemini allows Leo to expand your social life in ways that are not specifically social. A born Leo possess an amazing talent for organization, and during this transit you may find yourself taking on volunteer duties for a civic or neighborhood group. Everybody knows you have the inclination to get involved with these sorts of things. Politics is also a possibility. This influence will get your usually hectic schedule back on track. Discipline plus organization puts it all into perspective and you are suddenly able to put your free time to good use, such as acting in a play or singing the solo part in the choir.

This transit also gives an indication of the kind of people you will attract and the friends you can make during this time period. Because you are specifically looking to draw influential people into your sphere, it is very likely that you will do just that. In particular, you may meet someone at this time who fills a role of mentor or a parent surrogate in your life. You may even fall in love with an older mate. Since the 11th House is also the sector of your hopes and wishes, this individual may represent a wish fulfillment on your part for someone to take on that role. Likewise, during this transit, you may have the opportunity to become a mentor to someone you know who is much younger and inexperienced.

(8/23-9/21)

Saturn will transit your 10th House of fame, fortune, the father, ego, status, reputation, profession and authorities. The important thing for Virgo to learn about each Saturn transit is that it will bring to you exactly what you have earned, no more, no less. The law of Karma is exact! So when the transit involves your sector of career and professional reputation, you can expect this period to be one of the most important and influential in your life. If you have been working hard on your career goals during the past few years, you can expect this period to be a time when your efforts are finally rewarded. While this does not necessarily mean that you will get the acclaim and financial rewards you want, you will definitely be given the opportunity to achieve your professional aspirations. The material rewards may come later, often as the result of some other transit such as Jupiter or Mars. All three are in Gemini mid-2001. At this point you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done the very best you are capable of doing.

Increased responsibilities go hand in hand with this Saturn transit. If you are looking to take on extra work, you will get the opportunity to do so. Saturn is a part of the maturation process, and this transit forces us to come of age. Virgos are sometimes rather shy about tooting their own horn, but for once you can feel at ease about rejoicing over your accomplishments.

(9/22-10/21)

Saturn will transit your 9th House of foreign lands, higher education, the law, in-laws, long trips, religion and the sub-conscious mind. Now is the time, Libra, that Saturn will force you to get serious, something that is not easy for you to do. You would rather avoid it at all costs. The 9th House represents your desire to expand your horizons, both in the material and spiritual sense. Travel is something every Libra longs for and can appreciate, but when Saturn transits this sector, you can finally stop dreaming about it and actually DO IT! It is possible that you will have a chance to travel for business purposes at this time, or perhaps at long last you will take that European or South Sea Island trip or cruise you have been talking about. Your hopes and dreams have a chance of becoming a reality now. Remember, we actualize what we visualize.

This Saturn transit through Gemini impresses upon you, Libra, the importance of education. If you have been thinking about going back to school to get that degree, or get important training for a new career, Saturn will bring to you the wherewithal and discipline you need in order to complete those tasks. This area of the chart also governs the Law. If you have to deal with legal matters now, you are certain to receive justice. Spiritual matters are high on your list, but not in the esoteric sense. At this point in your life, Libra, you are concerned with examining your personal value system more closely. How well do you interact with others? The status quo matters, but not imply for its own sake. Now you want to apply spiritual laws and understanding to yourself and how you live each day.

(10/22-11/21)

Saturn will transit your 8th House of sex, death, inheritance, regeneration, taxes, and other people廣 money. The 8th House is the universal home of Scorpio, the secret chamber where all of your thoughts and desires are buried. This area of the chart shows how you merge with others in sex, business and financial matters and brings about a regeneration of mind and spirit. You will now be concerned with finding your own identity through your association with others. Sex is always a serious matter to Scorpio, but now it becomes a matter of utmost significance. You are not interested in a superficial sexual relationship. You are now looking for a union that offers a soul kinship.

With business relationships, you are always extremely cautions, and the Saturn transit through Gemini only increases this tendency. The difference is that instead of being extremely cynical, your attitude now is based on analytical interpretations of the facts. If you work at a career where handling other people廣 money or resources is your responsibility, this will be a crucial time for you. Especially so with a change of Presidents and the Stock Market volatility! This is particularly true if you are the one who handles the family budget. Scorpios are extremely conscious of the balance of power in a relationship and are at times known for manipulating that power for their own benefit. Money equals power, but the Saturn even handed approach allows you to remain unaffected by your financial status.

(11/22-12/21)

Saturn will transit your 7th House of partnerships, marriage, public relations, other people and open enemies. There is no doubt that any Saturn transit will affect your life, Sag, but when this planet moves through your sector of marriage and partnerships, you can be certain that your relationship will be tested to the extreme. Like Aquarius, you have trouble surrendering your personal freedom in the name of togetherness, and because of that, marriage can be a bit rough for you. Sagittarians are as capable of falling deeply in love as any other sign, but love brings commitment with it. For you, Sag, commitment is often synonymous with a loss of personal freedom. Once you get that part settled and reach a mutual agreement with your beloved, that everything is just fine. But now, perhaps for the first time, you are likely to find your relationship being tested and that can be a bit scary.

Sagittarians are great at the fun stuff. They love to party! They dig sex, or just hanging out together, but have been known to freak when the going gets rough. However, the Saturn presence in the partnership sector provides you with a new maturity that can be helpful. Suddenly you are ready to take on additional responsibilities within the marriage or partnership. Even if you have not been the primary breadwinner in the past, you may be called upon to fill that role now. If your spouse becomes ill, has a business problem, or must travel for a length of time, he or she knows they can depend on you to run things for awhile.

(12/22-1/21)

Saturn will transit your 6th House of work, health, the mind, service given for free, and pets. During this time you will be involved with efforts to improve your health and fitness. With Saturn present in your 6th House, you will be given the discipline to initiate a whole new attitude toward getting healthy. Saturn is your ruling planet, Capricorn, so you understand very well the way the energies work in your life. You also realize that wherever Saturn is transiting, discipline is your key to success.

When it comes to sticking to an exercise plan you can be determined, even a little grim, but you may be lacking in imagination. The Saturn energy provides you with a new-found interest in getting healthy. One of the most powerful factors in this is to find a plan that works for you. Why should you do the exercises that you do not like or enjoy doing? Why eat food you cannot stand? There are plenty of pleasant things you can do to get in shape. Try walking, not on a treadmill, but preferably in an area of scenic beauty. That way you will be doing something with your spirit as well as your body. Buy a dog and take him for a walk twice a day. Go horseback riding.

It is the same with food. Sure, cut back the amount of food you eat, along with some red meats, and go easy on the sweets. But serving up nothing but vegetables and cottage cheese is a sure way to make you cranky, and worst of all, hungry! Give yourself some leeway. Eat mainly fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains a few days a week, Then once a week, eat your favorite foods. That is discipline as well as common sense.

(1/22-2/18)

Saturn will transit your 5th House of creativity, children, romance, love affairs, speculation and sports. When Saturn travels through your sector of romance and creativity, it tests and challenges you in ways you might not have thought possible. Where romance is concerned, this transit could represent a time of profound truth in a love affair. What may have seemed like a little more than a pleasant romantic diversion could easily blossom into something deeper, more profound and lasting. Aquarians often have a cynical streak when it comes to love. They may have been hurt a lot in the past. You are always afraid that a romantic commitment could, despite all of its obvious attractions, spell the end of your personal freedom. However the presence of Saturn in Gemini actually gives you a whole new perspective on romantic love. Getting serious, and staying that way, can be a difficult task for a true Aquarius. With Saturn in command, you are able to see the greater purpose in such a relationship.

Creative plans will do very well under this transit, because Saturn provides the physical and emotional endurance to stick with a project from beginning to end. Artistic Aquarians can really do themselves proud during this period. With your analytical talent in harmony with creative abilities, this could turn into one of the most productive periods of your life.

(2/19-3/21)

Saturn will transit through your 4th House of home environment, the mother, property, foundation, endings, and the latter part of life. The transit of Saturn in Gemini through the sector of home and domestic matters involves coming to grips with vital areas of your past and present life. Issues that you may have been avoiding for many years are certain to take center stage now, regardless of whether you feel ready to deal with them. This is particularly true in matters relating to parents and other primary family members. Even if your parents are dead, you could find yourself trying to reconcile the relationship, This is a tine when you may find yourself questioning the authenticity of your own actions. Are you living up to the standards you set for yourself, or merely repeating patterns that were set in your childhood and adolescence? This Saturn transit will help you to see the truth about yourself and to liberate yourself from the illusions of the past. Don廠 fear this process, but embrace it. All relationships are improved if the parties involved know and accept the truth.

On a practical level, this transit influences your choice of residence. You may decide to move, or if you have always been an apartment dweller, you could feel the time has come to buy a house. Any real estate transaction can be fortunate for you during this time period.
