Saturn in Libra

By month's end we will be seeing Saturn change signs and move into Libra. Previously in Virgo, Saturn's measures may have felt exacting, now the balance must be found. Focus will be on the rules, obligations, building or being blocked in the area of relationships particularly, money issues may also be involved. I cannot say which way any one person might feel this effect without a chart and knowing current life conditions so I will talk about some various manifestations that are possible. Over the past 2 years imperfections and areas of insufficiency have been exposed for us- personally as well as at a societal level (just look to our government and financial system ). Moving on, now it is action time. It will be felt by many that it is time for a change somewhere in the balance of your life and it starts with you first. Time to start the changes that will address needs, wants and outright dysfunction.
One note -- it is fair to assume that anyone born near the 20th of Sept., Dec., March, or June will be feeling effects quite significantly over the next 6 months and beyond. But also many others with sensitive points in the same degrees as those mentioned.

So Saturn is boundaries and Libra is our interrelationships- work, school, love, self. The thing to watch in Libra is extremes and imbalance- often by way of one side giving too much by way of compromise and the other giving none at all. With an added point of intersection with Pluto being throw in for intense measure some may become almost obsessed with some issue or another (perhaps making money) but this type of extreme is to be avoided because the consequences will eventually undo much of the perceived gains if you overstep boundaries. Rather than making more money the cure-all, see if you might also cut back or be more efficient in other areas- look for varied solutions not just one big fix. Some may slip into, or remain within obsessive relationship attachments out of dependency - real or percieved. On the positive side, if you have been working diligently toward a position of greater authority, autonomy and authenticity this can be a period of great fruition and ability to attract resources and gain a powerful reputation in your field.
In life matters we should expect to see a time of increased responsibility, changes in authority figures, bosses, teachers and the like. It could be a time for some to step down from positions of power and let change occur or just let go of what is ready to go from your life for fresh horizons. Those who have abused a position of authority over others may be held to great measures of accountability or exposed suddenly. Some might marry, expand their family, divorce or separate. If any of these more traumatic changes happen see the opportunity for correction of course in your life. If something happens that makes you insecure it is a push towards self growth and improved trust in ones ability to act. It may not feel great at first but all processes take time. This time, the next 2 +/- years, will be teaching us in the areas self discipline, fairness, and equality among others.

These issues may not immediately jump out at us but by the end of 2009 there will be signals if not initial plans for change already in the works. If change comes that feels unsettling give it time- throughout Jan., Feb., and March will be a time to reflect and see if things are working well. Best regards for the best outcome.
