I’ve been catching up on sending out the astrological transits reports. While I’m doing everyone else’s, I check mine as well. That’s what I mostly use the transits for, to let me know when I’ll be on the other side of challenging times. Here are some excerpts of my transits for this week. It’s good to know this one will be over by the end of the week because I have felt unusually restless for no real reason: Transiting Saturn square natal Uranus. You may feel restrictions to your freedom during this period of time, or feel that you want to be breaking away from something, but find yourself unable to do so. Powerful feelings of restlessness may come up for you at this time, but you may feel stifled and unable to cope with them or break out of the rut you feel yourself to be in at the moment. This conflict is unsettling for a time, but it will pass as the transit moves on and eventually diminishes in its influence. What you can take away from the experience is a more focused awareness of your energy for freedom and the search for new horizons, in spite of remaining, and to whatever extent you do remain, in the limitations of your established place in the world.
I’ve learned whenever I feel restless, that means change is happening. And then I see what it is. Ah, the ever popular Transitting Saturn conjunct natal Saturn: At this time in your life, which is sometimes called your “Saturn Return”, you will go through many life changes in the direction of greater maturation. It is a time of great decisiveness and action, as you make a move toward your true calling in life. The structure of your life is subject to some slow, steady and long-lasting changes during this period of time. The previous 28 years or so have been spent in one condition, which gradually prepared you to enter the next cycle. Now you are ready to take that step, as old habits or outworn behaviors are ready to be sloughed off, as the snake sheds his skin, in preparation for new growth. Your very appearance may change. Your friends will find you totally transformed after this period of time, although the logic of the changes are usually evident to you from the perspective of own inner workings.
The first Saturn return was a real trip. Wow, I can hardly wait.
