Are you living in challenging times - it could be Saturn

Laurence Harrould - Tuesday, June 08, 2010

In my lat post I talked about the effect Saturn was having and how it was blocking changes. On 31st May Saturn went direct and I'm finding things have shifted. However, we don't seem to have moved into a time of easy flow. While the blockages have cleared there are new challenges coming up.

On 22nd July Saturn moves into Libra (and stays there until October 2012). This is a new phase and quite a different energy from what we've been experiencing. The focus of Libra is balance and it's ruled by Venus: the planet of beauty, balance and harmony. Now there's something to look forward to. However, in the meantime there's some work to be done.

We can't move into a new era with a heap of baggage holding us back. Saturn is currently in the last few degrees of Virgo. Virgo is about detail and so we're seeing a lot of time and energy being focussed on seemingly minor matters - making mountains out of molehills. This could be seen as getting caught up in trivia and not getting the big picture.

What is really happening though is that we're sorting out all the things that are holding us back and so attitudes are going to be tested, any lack in skill or competency in areas that are important for you is going to tested over this time.

Saturn acts like a doorway. It's the entrance to our new self, our new way of living, thinking, being. As well as being the doorway it's the gatekeeper. You can't move into the new while still holding on to old attitudes, beliefs or opinions.

So, if you're being challenged at the moment: financially, skills being tested, relationships under a strain, have a look at what's going on. Get some perspective and try to understand what the lesson for you is.

Between the end of October 2009 and early April 2010 Saturn was in Libra. This was a time when there seemed to be a lot of promise and positive energy. New ideas were coming up, new opportunities etc. There was talk that the GFC was really over and we could get back to enjoying ourselves. That seemed to fall in a hole when Saturn went back into Virgo.

Look back at what you were doing then (Oct-Apr). Over that time we were being given an introduction into what will be happening for us over the next couple of years. Once Saturn leaves Virgo (22nd July) we'll get back to what we were doing then PROVIDED we haven't got anything holding us back. So the things that are happening now are to help us remove those ties and limitations that will prevent us moving fully into our next stage.

Those challenges confronting you at the moment - are they an opportunity for you to shed your old thinking and grow or is it just the Universe "picking on you"? It's all a question of your perspective. How will you use this time and energy?
