Saturn says “as you sow, so you reap!”
Have you ever wondered why Saturn has that ring around it?
It's called the ‘ Ring Pass Not'
And it is there to make sure we don't get too carried away with ourselves.. meaning we need a check up every so often, to see how we are doing. And often Saturn's transits through the Zodiac signs is not too much fun, as he demands we clear away any mess we have made, our negative Karma, and create positive Karma for our future.
You see, the soul has to pass certain initiatory tests …
And you can't get past the rings until you satisfy Saturn by surrendering your ego to the soul's higher destiny. Saturn wants you to take responsibility for your actions, forgive others, forgive yourself, and help others climb to the mountain top!
Saturn is now in the sign of Virgo the Virgin, meaning purification, and offers us the possibility of redemption during the next 2 year cycle.
Saturn is the planet that often receives the bad review, however as we enter into its new phase in Virgo, we have good news, or at least better news than would otherwise be expected.
You see, the signs are divided into elements Earth, Water, Air and Fire. The planet Saturn rules Capricorn, which is an earth sign. Capricorn's most compatible signs or energies are the two other earth signs, namely, Taurus and Virgo. So with Saturn entering Virgo, and Virgo being an earth sign, these two energies synchronize with each other and can create wonderful ‘works' together.
However, we must keep in mind that Saturn does have his rules and regulations, and we Virgo's will have to go though the tests of Saturn for the next two years. And what may they be? I would have to say health and work, service to others, healing the subconscious mind, learning to use our right brain along with our analytical left brain. Challenges may include letting go of perfectionism, control issues , and health/safety issues at work, and learning to listen to our body as it tells us what its needs are.
Below is a list of key words for Saturn and Virgo which will give us a clue as to what we might expect over the next 2 years.
| Saturn | Virgo |
Key word – ‘Limitation’ |
Key word – ‘I Analyze’

Because Virgo rules our health, we need to be aware of Saturian ailments which include: Teeth skin, bones, skeletal structure, cartilage, bladder, spleen, crystallization in the joints, Diseases such as arthritis, and osteoarthritis, any type of obstruction or restriction in the body, depression, negative outlook and thinking, inhibition, intolerance. Saturn in Virgo may create intestinal disorders, or blockages. Virgo is associated with the 3 rd chakra or Manipura chakra, our personal power center, and the place where our childhood memories are stored.
“THIS IS THE YEAR TO QUIT SMOKING”
“ LEARN TO BREATHE”
“ TAKE YOGA”
While Saturn is in Virgo we can expect to see changes in out health care systems, hospitals, animal shelters, and animal health care … cutbacks are possible because Saturn can and often does cause restrictions. However, we could also see an increase in public awareness of these issues and new types of funding for these projects.
Heightened awareness for global travel and health issues arising from superbugs, and unwanted diseases will become an issue. There could be shortages of vaccines and/or medical equipment and longer waiting periods for medical help and surgeries.
Our food chain may be either threatened by super- storms or sabotaged by man. We will become more fastidious about what we are eating and how our food is grown. There will be delays in export/import business in these areas (food, medical) and our standards will have to be raised.
Sagittarians, Aquarians, Leos, and Aries, and Libra will feel the greatest frustration from this placement, while Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus and Cancer get a much better deal. Gemini and Pisces, well, it is debatable, you will find both positive and challenging scenarios play out with Saturn in Virgo.
And for Virgo's, well there will be a mix of challenges and triumphs, depending of course how Saturn and your Sun is aspect in your chart. I am a Virgo, and expect a 2 year run of focused and disciplined attention to my work and health.
Our universe operates in cyclical precision just as the finest Rolex watch. There are certain times where these cycles's will occur in our sign and bring challenges to awaken our consciousness to what we are really doing with our life.
And…. are we really doing what we want, or… have we fallen into a trap of going no where we really want to be. Saturn is here to help us break out of our comfort zones and to guide us to be our best.
Here's a short version of what we can expect from Saturn over the next two years. And remember, we all have very positive transits throughout these years to offset the challenging ones.
Aries – you will have to preserver during this cycle of Saturn; you could have some delays with work, your goals, but keep positive. Please be aware of your health as Aries and Virgo can create some stress, emotionally and physically. Let go of any perfectionism and just do the best you can each day. Have blood work done, and check your blood pressure.
Taurus – you're a friend of Saturn's and Virgo. It's time to work hard, get organized, stay focused and you will reach your goals.
Gemini – you're ruled by the same planet as Virgo, so we may cut you some slack, but you will probably feel more somber and serious for the next 2 years, and work will be annoying. Delays, responsibility. Quit smoking.
Cancer – spend your time with your family working together to create a healthy daily routine, you will be care giving to your elder family members. Organize and clean your home from top to bottom, this is the year to let go of non-essentials.
Leo – Your so happy that Saturn is leaving your sign, for the next two years you will become responsible about money, yours and others, get rid of outworn values, and material belongings that you really don't need. And work. And have some fun!
Virgo – make sure you get a check up, eat properly, and finish your projects over the next 2 years. You may have health challenges through this cycle, so listen to your body and don't delay seeing a health professional. Focus, discipline, and work hard, Saturn is here to help you get it together, and let the challenges roll off your back.
Libra – watch those sweets, and don't stress your pancreas. Keep yourself on a good health regime. Your relationships may seem full of responsibilities and … hum drum, but it's up to you to put the spark back in them. Don't let Saturn make you take yourself too seriously. Lighten up.
Scorpio – You can regenerate any health issues you are having by changing your diet, exercise, focus, discipline. This is a good cycle for work, a promotion and a raise.
Sagittarius- You will have some health issues during Saturn's cycle, hip bone, osteo, arthritis, , it's time for a complete health cleanse, especially the liver. Some delays in work related goals, but persevere, your time will come.
Capricorn – Saturn is your ruler, and it is in the sign Virgo, who is a good friend of yours, so you should have a successful 2 years. But just like everyone else, protect your health; be cognizant of your teeth, bones, Skelton structure, spine, and knees.
Aquarius – This cycle of Saturn will have its lessons and challenges. You must be very aware of your physical and emotional health. Watch your stress levels, Yoga would be very good for you this year. Your nervous system may be out of sync, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Learn to breathe through your stress and frustration. Work can be challenging and some delays are possible. Everything is arranged in the universal timing, and your time for glory will come…..in late 2010
Pisces - Saturn is insisting that you clean up any old emotional problems and resentments you have been carrying, you can't be moving ahead in your life with old baggage attached to your back! Let go of self-defeating habits, and look after your health… this is very important! You want to make some changes in your work or career, and perhaps a move is on your mind, there will be delays, but be patient, the right job and home will appear.

Your astrological chart is a psychological map of your personality; more specifically—your genetic coding. Your environment has also been an influence or perhaps has deepened your innate patterns.
We can change these by listening to our own intuition and surrendering to our higher self. Healing can take place through Grace ... the essence of unconditional love.
My most basic belief is "Listen to the inner voice".
