Our karmic planet of self-reliance and responsibility is making a big move in the planetary skies today, precisely at 1:09pm EST. Saturn has spent the last 2 years since 9:49am, 02 September 2007, in the sign of Virgo. While in the sign of service, discrimination, and analysis- the collective’s faith has been undoubtedly shaken.

Saturn now moves on to stir-up the astrological realms of Libra for the next three years, until it enters Scorpio upon 04 October, 2012. The typical passage of Saturn through any given astrological sign is approximately 2- 2 1/2 years. With the recent upheavals Saturn created while in Virgo, it sure seems logical that it’ll take three years while visiting in The Scales to straighten it all out.

Yes, Dear Stars, there is a new hope in the planetary skies! Saturn in Libra is here to bring balance, impartiality, honor, and maneuverability to the limitations the world has recently felt. But, DO NOT think this will magically come without attention to self-reliance and personal responsibility. Saturn only gives rewards to those who have earned them.

Check into the Libra slice of your Zodiac pie, yes this would be YOUR birth chart! This points to the specific area of life where you are well-advised to apply attention and focus for the next three years -and most certainly- where challenges and new energies present themselves. However, these are ones that by all astrological standards, will only make you all the stronger for rising up to them. The lessons needing to be learned become invaluable experiences in your evolution.

Collectively, we are equally requested to cultivate harmony and diplomacy in our lives. Casting off intolerance, insincerity, judgment, opinions, and argumentation serves the common good in the couple years ahead. Saturn now urges us all to take an objective view to all of what we experience, and take on passionate involvement in our partnerships.

Those Stars with their natal Saturn placed in Libra, will be in their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Saturn Return during this transit, as will all Libra Sun Signs equally experience the intimate energy of Saturn in their lives until 2012. Our Fatherly Planet not only brings intense changes, but ones that are necessary. Adhering to the self and not relying on others brings ease to these natives.

Saturn dips back into Virgo 07 April until 21 July, 2010, (and will not return again to the Virgin for another 28 years!), before moving completely forward in Libra. We’ll reach 04 degrees Libra upon 13 January 2010, where at 10:56am, Saturn will Retrograde until 2:08pm on 30 May. More to come later on Saturn‘s winter request that is meant to restore our faith Stars.

For now, enjoy the peaceful progression toward a new sense of balance. Remember what you personally do reflects back to you- remain wise to how Saturn affects your life presently. The Universe will surely thank you in handsome rewards for it.
