NATAL AND TRANSITING SATURN

Saturn moves through the zodiac every 29 years, remaining in a sign for approximately 2 ½ years. 

 

The sign and house position of Natal Saturn (Saturn at the moment of your birth) defines the area of life (house position) and the way Saturn’s energies are released (sign position).  Saturn works well in its own sign of Capricorn, in many cases defined as business expertise.  It also works well in Libra where its rewards for hard work can be well expressed when in connection to relationships, balance and harmonious interchange.  

 

On the other hand, Saturn may not work well in Cancer, as Saturn is known for its discipline and in certain cases heaviness. Saturn may not work well in Aries either because Aries pushes for results while Saturn restricts and delays and can put a halt to what Aries is trying to accomplish. 

 

The aspects from other planets within the framework of the birth chart, however, must be taken into consideration for a full picture.

 

In the Natal chart, Saturn suggests that we must put our best foot forward in the area of life defined by its house position.  This placement often suggests that hard work, a disciplined effort and sustained determination will eventually work out, offering stability and long-lasting outcomes reflected by the work you put into what is accentuated. 

 

If Saturn is poorly placed in the Natal chart, you can expect challenges, delays, obstacles and hardships along the way.  It is best not to take the easy route as you will eventually realize that there are no shortcuts. Determination and disciplined hard work are what matter.  Saturn can be extremely detrimental or beneficial depending on its placement and aspects formed within the natal chart configuration.

 

While in its transit, Saturn can be quite the adversary for success and hold up achievement although, as mentioned earlier, if you dot all the “I’s” and cross all the “t’s”, it can work favourably for you. There are no guarantees, however, when it comes to Saturn if it makes harsh aspects to natal positions in the birth chart while in transit.

 

Saturn will test your resilience, and your resolve. It is known as the teacher of the Zodiac.  It does, however, reward you with a solid foundation and can also provide long-lasting rewards where owed.  Much depends on its natal potential. 

 

Natal Saturn is your blueprint for structure and discipline while transiting Saturn is a temporary restructuring or testing period when making contact in your chart.

SCORPIO NEW MOON 2026

On Monday, November 9, 2026, we will experience a New Moon in the sign of Scorpio at 16° and 52’. 

 

A New Moon signals a new beginning phase. Focus on the energies of Scorpio for this new Moon.  The work you put into this project will come to fruition when the Scorpio Full Moon is experienced in some six months from now.  As a side note, we will experience a rare TWO Scorpio full Moons in 2027.  One on April 20 at 0° and one on May 20 at 29°.

 

For this New Moon cycle to have an influence in your personal Natal chart, you will need planets or angles connected to its Scorpio placement.  When we say connected, we are referring to aspects particularly the Conjunction and the Opposition.  This New Moon is at almost 17° so you must have planets within an active orb of no more than 3° of this placement (14° to 20°), either applying or separating.

 

With the New Moon being in the sign of Scorpio and Scorpio being ruled by Pluto, you can expect transformational energies.  This may be the time when we need to go beneath the surface and uncover anything that needs surfacing.  Is there something buried deep within that you need to deal with? 

 

Does something need to come to an end for a new beginning to take place? 

 

What changes are required at this time and how might you go about making them happen?

 

Scorpio is about investigative work, finding the truth if there is something that has been neglected or something that might feel too taboo to face.  You will need to dig deep to uncover anything that needs your attention, particularly if this buried issue can begin to fester and create more issues if not resolved.

 

This may be sexually oriented or carry with it issues that are joint and involve others, perhaps the family or your spouse.  It may involve inheritance or legacies and perhaps in some cases business.  Much will depend on the houses involved in your astrology chart as well as the planetary energies associated with this placement. 

 

Do not take this time for granted. Often this Scorpio New Moon speaks of resolving issues and moving in a new direction based on actions that begin at this point.  The outcome will largely depend on the effort made and the planning put in place by you. 

 

In some cases, if we are not paying attention and resist this need for resolution then life takes a leading role and much of what happens may be out of our hands because we did not act when we had the opportunity.  It is best to keep control and intentionally move ahead dealing with any matters that might be present after going deep. 

 

The Conjunction and Opposition can be considered the more challenging energies depending on the planets involved as would be the Square.  The Trine and Sextile offer opportunities for healing or things working in a more favorable manner as you move forward.  Opposition aspects often involve others.

 

The Scorpio New Moon 2026 can bring a deep dive to look inward, emotional regeneration, and change.

INTUITIVE UNDERSTANDING

There is a part of you that instinctively just knows.  Even though it is a “knowing” the ego and the logical mind can create questions. 

 

Intuition can create a breakthrough beyond logic. It is an understanding without preconceived notions.  There is a part of you that can answer most any question, sometimes the answer comes from imagination, sometimes from logic and other times from “other” sources.

 

You can rely on intuitive as long as the imagination is held at bay.  Intuitive instinct can be a warning or it can be a message that we need to listen to. 

 

We still have the ability to heed or discard.  There are nearly always choices. I say “nearly” because sometimes things happen so swiftly that we don’t have time to make decisions and we just follow the intuition.

 

There is always someone (for the lack of a better word) there to help guide you along life’s path, especially when challenges are at hand.  They can be relied on, and the information we receive from them is always for your own good.  The message can come in different modes. These modes can be advice given, for example, by a close personal friend who has always been there when you needed them, or it can come from an advisor or a person in a position of authority, but what we are talking about stems from outside the usual sources.  The sources we speak of are our guides, our higher self, and those that have already crossed over (those whom are generally not seen with our physical eyes).

 

It has been said that guides are there whenever we need them.  As you grow and mature, our guides may change as our needs do so that they are more suited for that specific stage of development.

 

Reach out and someone will be there. Rely on your intuitive understanding. Never give up. The answer is available. You’ve got this!

NATAL AND TRANSITING URANUS

Uranus within the framework of the birth chart, depending on its sign and house position, often speaks of an area that may need change.  The birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth.  This natal snapshot never changes. When we refer to natal Uranus, we are referring to its position at the moment of your birth.

 

Uranus is somewhat offbeat, erratic, and can indicate unusual behavior. Uranus’ energy can be sudden and unexpected.  We may get warnings of the need for change and in some cases disruption to what no longer suits our evolutionary growth.  We have outgrown what has been in place. It is time to either revamping or make a major shift to move to where we now need to be.

 

An example might be Natal Uranus in the third house, (of course we also need to take into consideration the aspects it receives from other points in the chart) could indicate that our way of communicating is subject to change when activated through transit or progression.  Our everyday activities are subject to change and disruption.  Our communication techniques are unusual or unconventional, and others may have a difficult time understanding us (in this example).

 

Taking this example further, there may be something unusual tied to our siblings or neighbors or our relatives, in particular, an aunt or uncle may be considered rather distinct or unusual in comparison to the norm.  Our discussions may focus around unusual topics or be ahead of their time. 

 

The Natal chart tells the story of what can be expected when transiting planets hit the Natal positions in our birth chart.  Our natal chart is the blueprint of our life. The natal planets never change in our birth chart but once the snapshot of the heavens has been taken and the position of the planets noted for our birth chart, the planets continue to move.  The planets are then called transiting planets.

 

When Uranus is transiting through the different houses in our chart, it often brings something to the surface and pushes for change and evolution.  It may awaken us to something that we might not of otherwise thought about. 

 

For example, Uranus transiting through the twelfth house may bring out insightful moments and release pent up energies that may change our perception particularly tied to spirituality, or psychic inclinations that were buried prior to this time.

 

Uranus will awaken us and bring to light the necessary change required in whatever area of life that it is transiting through (represented by the chart house) and the linkage to planets either in this house or connected to the current position of Uranus by degree in transit. 

 

Changes often take place suddenly or unexpectedly and often in erratic or under unusual circumstances.  Over time, which may take as much as 18 months to truly understand, we begin to realize that this change was exactly what was required.

 

One thing about Transiting Uranus is you can expect the unexpected when it makes contact to planets and angles in our natal charts.

 

Natal Uranus represents your uniqueness, sudden change, freedom and revolution while transiting Uranus indicates rebellion, sudden change and an awakening.

ASTROLOGICAL DIGNITIES

The Astrological dignities (sometimes referred to as the core essential dignities) reflect the comfort, strength and effectiveness of a planet’s energies based on the Zodiac sign it occupies.  Some signs are easy flow energy and others create uneasy flow of energies for the planets.

 The four dignities are natural rulership, detriment, exalted and fall.

 Each planet has a natural ruler, sometimes referred to as its domicile. 

 NATURAL RULERSHIP

 The natural rulership is as follows:

      1.       Leo is ruled by the Sun

2.       Cancer is ruled by the Moon

3.       Virgo and Gemini are ruled by Mercury

4.       Libra and Taurus are ruled by Venus

5.       Aries is ruled by Mars and Scorpio is co-ruled by Mars

6.       Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Pisces is co-ruled by Jupiter

7.       Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn

8.       Aquarius is ruled by Uranus

9.       Pisces is ruled by Neptune

10.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto.

 Please keep in mind that the co-rulers were put in place prior to the discovery of the actual ruling planets, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus.  In my view, the current rulership should be applied not the co-rulers.  Example Aquarius co-ruled by Saturn does not match energies near as well as Uranus’ energies.  Saturn and Uranus have, in many ways, opposing energies.

 DETRIMENT

When a planet is found in the opposite sign of its natural rulership, this is referred to as detriment (also known as exile).

When in detriment, a planet is not at ease, and its energies are harnessed or at a lower influence. This is similar to when planets are in retrograde with the exception of Saturn.

      1.       Sun is in detriment in Aquarius

2.       Moon is in detriment in Capricorn

3.       Mercury in detriment in Sagittarius

4.       Venus in detriment in Scorpio

5.       Mars in detriment in Libra

6.       Jupiter in detriment in Gemini

7.       Saturn in detriment in Cancer

8.       Uranus in detriment in Leo

9.       Neptune in detriment in Virgo

10.  Pluto in detriment in Taurus

EXALTED

A planet that is exalted or in exaltation brings awareness energies and functions at a higher octave. 

1.       Sun is exalted in Aries

2.       Moon is exalted in Taurus

3.       Mercury is exalted in Virgo

4.       Venus is exalted in Pisces

5.       Mars is exalted in Capricorn

6.       Jupiter is exalted in Cancer

7.       Saturn is exalted in Libra

8.       Uranus is exalted in Scorpio

9.       Neptune is exalted in Leo

10.  Pluto is exalted in Aries

FALL

When a planet is in the fall, its energies are considered to be in a weakened state.  The Fall position is opposite the exalted position in Astrology.

1.       Sun is in fall in Libra

2.       Moon is in fall in Scorpio

3.       Mercury is in fall in Pisces

4.       Venus in fall in Virgo

5.       Mars in fall in Cancer

6.       Jupiter in fall in Capricorn

7.       Saturn in fall in Aries

8.       Uranus in fall in Taurus

9.       Neptune is in fall in Aquarius

10.  Pluto is in fall in Libra

It should be noted that all of the planets, regardless of their dignities, should be studied in relation to the aspects stemming from other planets and angles in the birth chart.  These can mitigate any dignity.

For example, if a planet in exaltation having several planets or angles (Ascendant, Midheaven, Imum Coeli and the Descendant) in challenging aspect connected to it will not function as well as a planet that has some or many easy flow aspects making contact.  A planet in detriment or fall that is aspected by planets or angles with easy or opportunistic aspects will function easier than a planet with challenging aspects.  Again, all Astrological functions must be taken into account when deciphering a natal Astrology chart.

ASPECTS WITH SUN IN SCORPIO 2026

We focused on the Sun in Scorpio in our article on October 19, 2026 – https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-scorpio-2026  

 

Today we are focusing on the transits that will affect Sun in Scorpio over the coming year.

 

Transiting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all transiting through the early degrees of varying signs affecting those with their Sun in the early degrees of Scorpio. 

 

This does not mean that the progressions and other transits are not affecting those with their Sun in the mid to later degrees of Scorpio, as there is a great likelihood that these charts are being enhanced by other indicators.

 

In our articles, we always touch on the outer planets because they have a profound effect on each of us and move very slowly often being an indicator or a change and disruption depending on the aspects involved. These can last up to three years depending on the positions of natal planets in the birth chart.  As a result, they have great impact on our lives.

 

Transiting Uranus currently is in retrograde at 4° in Gemini, making a Quincunx to the Sun in the early degrees of Scorpio. 

 

Neptune is currently also in retrograde at 2° in Aries, also making a Quincunx to Scorpio, and Pluto at 3° Aquarius in direct motion is making a Square to those with their Sun in the early degrees of Scorpio. 

 

Uranus and Neptune (both making a Quincunx) create a Yod and Pluto making a Square all suggest that a challenging time is at hand or is just starting or is just finishing off, depending on the degree of your Sun in Scorpio.  If your Sun is in the early degrees of Scorpio, you likely know what I am speaking of.  The individual birth chart, however, needs to be reviewed to see the full picture. The birth chart is our potential moving forward and when activated by transit or progression, the potential in the birth chart is triggered or activated.

 

The Yod we mentioned is very challenging, often suggesting a crisis which you must deal with and the need for reaching deep within, often finding solutions through a deeper source. A turning point will be reached after which those affected will move forward in a much more positive manner, often activating a spiritually enlightening experience.

 

The Square to Pluto, depending on the houses involved, will speak in terms of a challenging situation where you may have to leave something behind and move forward transforming those parts of yourself that no longer serve your journey or deep issues that might not have been properly dealt with previously. These now surface so that a resolution can be found.  Change on a deep level and dealing with what might be referred to as taboo situations is now what must be undertaken.  The transformations that take place on the other side of these difficulties can enhance life and change situations that needed revitalization and regeneration. 

 

Each Scorpio touched by these transits will deal with this transformation in their own personal manner. What goes on beneath the surface, because you are a Scorpio, may not be revealed to others, but change, nonetheless, is almost inevitable. 

 

The aspects to Sun in Scorpio 2026 from the outer planets suggest challenging life lessons but the lessons will teach valuable, needed information for change and transformation.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Scorpio readers.

UNDERSTANDING HUMAN BEHAVIOR

Human behavior varies so significantly from one individual to another that trying to comprehend the “why” behind behavior can be almost impossible.  We are all different and convey our message in different tones, under different conditions and with varying degrees of sentiment and emotion.

 

Many conversations take place spontaneously in the moment, although others are carefully thought out and practice ahead of time. 

 

With some people, they are that fickle that what is said in this moment can be taken with a grain of salt in the next. 

 

If a serious conversation triggers worry and anxiety, a calm, caring demeanor can help the situation and make the other person more comfortable.  Sometimes these conversations can be a heads up for our benefit and in other situations there is a need for the speaker to unload.  An ear for listening and maybe gentle reassurance is all that is needed.

 

How do we truly understand human behavior? 

 

Unless we have taken steps in someone else’s shoes, we likely have no concept of their journey. Words can convey a sentiment, but the meaning is interpreted differently by each set of ears that listen. We can only understand from our own vantage point and experience.

 

When we verbally dump our baggage, who are we really talking to?

 

The only person that truly understands what we are say is self.

 

Compassion connects us even if we cannot fully perceive what someone else is trying to say. We will never truly understand human behavior and perhaps that understanding is not important.

 

Understanding our own behavior should be highlighted. Self-understanding can help alleviate concerns or stressors we may experiences. 

 

We are complex creatures open to suggestion, at least most of us. We can learn from one another, especially when we discuss with others who have experienced what we are going through.  Experience is the best teacher. 

 

Understanding human behavior might be difficult, but it is made easier with a compassionate heart.
