TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE JUPITER

As a bit of a background, Saturn in retrograde often works in ways that most planets in retrograde do not work.  Most of the planetary energies are withheld when in retrograde, while Saturn (who’s energy is normally suspended) is quite the opposite.  Some consider its retrograde energies similar to the energies of Jupiter and its energies, which are normally withdrawn, are now softened.  When Saturn is direct in motion, its energies are restrictive and a disciplinary in nature and the urge to make deliberate plans of action are restricted and stifled.

Transiting Saturn makes things difficult especially when in direct motion and a square to Jupiter often denotes a time when plans are thwarted and very limited.  If you want to achieve while this square is in place, you will have to work diligently and will often be feeling limited with your progress.  Saturn will test your resolve and will cause a review of how your life is running up to this point in time, especially in areas related to business ventures and finances.  Your career options may also be under discrete dissection and people in authority will be watching your every move.  Be sure you do not miss any steps.  Progress is often stagnated if not completely stopped.  Taking on too many projects is never suggested when Saturn is involved and most certainly not when Jupiter and Saturn are in square with one another.

Seven years ago during the conjunct between Saturn and Jupiter or during the Saturn Jupiter opposition, you may have started a project or began something new.  This Square will bring it out into the open and subject it to intense scrutiny and observation.  It will be tested and if you did not look at it from every angle and make sure that everything was completed according to set standards, you may have to cut your losses and begin anew.  In seven years, things will once again be tested and if things are not working now, it is wise to just begin again using an alternate route, if the first one did not work.

During this square, Jupiter, which is all about expansion and freedom of movement, will be harnessed and tested.  The desire to move out into new directions does not sit well with Saturn and you will be wise to make sure that before you move ahead in life that you have taken the necessary precautionary measures and put them in place or you will be stifled and held back in your objectives during this aspect..  Obstruction and agitation, along with anxiety may all be part of the process, but the end result if you make sure that you crossed all the “T”s and dotted all the “I”s might well be worth the struggle.  The foundation that you build during this time will stand the test of time and be built on solid ground. 

It is often suggested that you wait until this transit is over before you make alternate plans or begin new projects.  There will be far less obstruction and fewer obstacles to overcome.
