ASTROLOGY. Saturn positioned in Virgo

      On 2^nd September 2007, at 16:48 hrs, Saturn left the sign of Leo and passed into the sign of Virgo. Saturn is one of the distant planets and its cycle is 29.5 years. This means that it stays a little longer than two years in one sign of the zodiac. This is a rather important transit, which determines quite bright tendencies.
      Saturn will stay in Virgo until the end of October 2009 and then it will enter the sign of Libra. After that it will return to Virgo for a short period of time and only in July 2010 it will finally consolidate in Libra.
      It can be unambiguously said that, still, Saturn is, first of all, a planet related to restrictions. These restrictions should teach us ascetism, ability to refuse things, simply responsibility, ability to enjoy the minimum, ability to form a strong core inside oneself, resist difficulties of life. Certainly, these lessons are painful and unpleasant enough. Hence, a zodiac sign, through which Saturn passes (especially if the position in this sign is not harmonious – for instance, such position was when Saturn was positioned in Leo), gets a big test. So, we can congratulate, first of all, Leos, who may say: “Hurray, freedom, finally. Saturn has abandoned our sign”. Well, Saturn is like some rigorous supervisor, authority or grandfather who demands a lot. It, certainly, is for the good of ours, but here you will not play nor rejoice heartily: all the time you have to be concentrated. So it should really be an easier time for Leos.
      Saturn’s passage to Virgo begins a new story, first of all, for this sign of the zodiac. It is true to say that Virgos can easier stand the vibration of Saturn than Leos – already for the fact that both Saturn and the sign of Virgo are of the same element – element of Earth. It means they are in a friendly position and can easier benefit form the exchange of their energies. Thus, it can be said that Virgo is, on the contrary, more likely to get a big benefit from the transit of this planet than suffer from it.
      It should be useful to speak about the influence of the changed position of the planet for each sign of the zodiac.
      True, I believe that most of us will later feel the impact of Saturn in a new sign of the zodiac. Certainly there are sensitive people, who feel the passage of a planet (especially if this position is important to them) before that moment, even a week or ten days before it. Some people sense it at the same day, while others sense it only a week or even a month later, when the energy of the planet becomes strong in that sign. Most people can feel as if something does not allow you to think or concentrate: thoughts going one direction, suddenly radically change their direction or nature. True to say, many of you will probably need time to get used to the new position of Saturn in the sign of Virgo, and this can be felt as some unpleasant slight pain in your bones: “As if I want something… but actually I don’t know – maybe I don’t want anything… I’ll soon start something, or maybe I won’t”. It is indecision. But, nevertheless, all of us will get used to this. Some time later, especially when the influence of the solar eclipse will ease down, Saturn will open its positive side for us too, and we will learn how to get that good and big benefit from Saturn positioned in Virgo. For, nevertheless, Saturn’s position in Virgo is much more favourable than its position in the sign of Leo where it stayed for more than two years too, which is since the middle of July 2005.
      What things is Saturn responsible for in our life, body and structures? Well, first of all, Saturn is responsible for profession and career. And when it changes its position in a zodiac sign, then our attitude towards profession alters a little: what is a better way to realize oneself in it, what are the ways to do it and how to better achieve results.
      Saturn is always related to a model of how we seek our goal. When the planet was positioned in Leo, a tendency was to go for power through power, influence, authority, no matter harmonious or not. Saturn in Virgo will develop a tendency to aim for the goal, career or a rise through information, possessing it, and ability to direct it one way or another, and through science, rationality, intelligence and wit. Certainly, at this point there appears more insidiousness and manipulation. In a positive way, Saturn in this sign will highlight and bring a wave and opening of inventions of the applied science. Everything what has been gathered as experiments will be finally applied in biology, genetics, physics, and chemistry and simply in crafts.
      Virgo is a sign of intelligence, small things, documents and ability to practically and skillfully apply knowledge. Here, Japanese are most probably, the ones who can most significantly express features of the Virgo sign and, I think, when Saturn is positioned in this sign, it will highlight some totally new tendencies in Japan’s destiny. Well, aspects which are disharmonious get highlighted first.
      In the human body Saturn is the bone system, teeth and skin. Since Saturn is positioned in Virgo, this affects intestine and pancreas. Certainly, people whose mentioned structures are weak can feel the burden of Saturn harder than usually. But the consoling part is that people, whose heart is a weak side, will recover. Saturn’s position in Leo has been affecting the heart, back and spine and this difficult influence will finally leave these areas.
      Saturn in Virgo will draw big attention to the health. You should pay more attention to the food you eat. I think that in this period of time different kinds of yoga and different diets will become especially popular, vegetarian food will spread wider too and these are positive tendencies.
      Saturn in Virgo, in the end, will somehow more constructively and deeper help you perceive information and use it at work and will help you to make order in various areas of your life. People under signs of Virgo and Pisces (that are in opposition to Virgo), Gemini and Sagittarius, can react to this position especially sensitively. Do not get sad, dear people, if at this time you feel some strange anxiety. You just have to make effort to stabilize yourself. You can help this even if you breathe in a conscious and connected way, affirming: “I stabilize my systems, my bodies, I ground myself. I stabilize and harmonize my systems, I harmonize myself with harmonious vibrations of Saturn.“ But you should do this very carefully and moderatelly. Saturn is a serious planet, who especially demands such careful and wise approach, and when you master energies of this planet, this can really give you much. What in particular? Ability to relentlessly, patiently, unstoppably seek the goal and reach it. Realize things that are most important to you. In the end, be able to tell your aim from the sea of the whole life. For there are people who cannot formulate an aim at all.
      It is quite worth for you to work with vibrations of Saturn. Even planetary mantras can be used for this. I will try to present planetary mantras in our website – the need is getting mature and I think that this should be quite interesting and useful.
      For two years Saturn, as a strict, ascetic, restricting and setting order authority, did a revision in systems related to Leo and these are kindergartens, theatre and cinema. Here, not a long time ago, before Saturn left the sign of Leo, a whole pleiad of film directors passed away. I think this was resonated by the position of this planet. Well, and Saturn in Virgo will realize totally different areas, namely medicine, pharmacy, crafts, sciences and system of education. To my mind, these areas will not suffer but, on the contrary, will get the positive influence of this planet, when all pressing and acute things will be brought to the surface in a stricter way. This is also old people, past, history of our lives – I think this will get even bigger attention. Saturn positioned in the sign of Virgo, can prompt you to finally do order in information systems, systems of media and will help each person to do order, first of all, in a place of work.
      Having entered Virgo, Saturn highlights a topic of work. In a positive sense, Saturn can help us work willingly and passionately. Saturn in Virgo is a position of research, good for scientists, who can make researches, noticing the smallest details with all their energy and passion. Certainly, here comes a danger to get stuck on details and forget the wholeness. Saturn in Virgo is immensely loyal to rationality. However, it can often forget humanity, sensitivity and emotions and become that scientist who callously prepares little animals…
      Saturn in Virgo is immensely scrupulous and can help us all become more accurate, diligent, become better in details, notice and be able to estimate details and pay attention to the history. For example, be not surprised if you find it much easier to get back to your archives at work where you had not done order for ages, and now you have finally decided that it is time to look through what you did earlier. And it is fine: Saturn positioned in Virgo can help you get a good result if you dig in archives and history, in things that you already did, because this is a position of economy but in the negative sense it is stinginess. Saturn positioned in Virgo is immensely economic. Thus, be not surprised at work if some regime of economy will suddenly be set, if more check-ups will appear. However, this can give positive results too: there will simply be more order at work. For doctors some scandals, related to their profession, can be highlighted. This will again prompt improving this system, as well as for teachers this will also be a time when, probably, there will be a need to look closely through the system of education and methods. And I do not doubt that new ways of this area’s further developing will be discovered.
      In a place of work, you can be strangely demanded to make order, even where everything was orderly before. Do not be surprised if at home you suddenly feel that you need order too: long forgotten corners can no longer remain left behind. This is the positive influence of Saturn’s position in Virgo.
