For a large portion of 2017, transiting
Saturn will be in Sagittarius from 21 to 29 degrees. In late December, it moves into the sign of Capricorn. This post will affect those with their Sun in
Sagittarius between 17 degrees to the end of the sign and into the early
degrees of Capricorn. Remember to take
into consideration the house that your Sun is in as well as the overall
condition of your Sun by planetary aspects as you read this post. The position of your natal Saturn will also
be part of the energies.
Saturn generally has its greatest effect
when it is two degrees past direct. For example, if your Sun is at 23 degrees
Sagittarius, Saturn will have its greatest impact at 25 degrees Sagittarius. Saturn tends to delay action and often slows
down progress. This could explain why it
is strongest at two degrees past direct, unlike any other planet. Saturn takes its time as it wants to make
sure that everything has been competed as perfectly as possible.
Sagittarius addresses higher learning and
often deals directly with religion, spirituality, and an advanced philosophy of
life that looks at everything from a positive perspective. Sagittarius truly believes that there is
always something better waiting just around the next corner. Saturn on the other hand can be quite
restrictive and challenges you to work hard, even alone and that although hard
work can be tedious at times, the efforts are often tied to the end
result. Saturn tests your ambitions and
can also affect your health when directly related to the Sun, although a
thorough examination of your chart would be required for a clear, accurate
evaluation. If you do feel tired or run
down during this period, this is normal, but if you have any major concerns,
you should have a physical checkup at least once during Saturn’s stay in
Sagittarius. Checking the natal
potential for this however is highly advised.
Saturn can bring to fruition efforts which
might have been started some 14 years ago when it was in opposition to the
Sun. Whatever was initiated at that time
may now be brought forward and the results of those actions may now be seen. Often an opposition suggests that others were
involved in the outcome and the results can be either very fulfilling or you
may be frustrated about the outcome of these actions. This current period initiates a time of
responsibility and difficulties, and although you may feel burdened and
over-worked during this time, the more you put into your efforts, the greater
the potential outcome. Jupiter, the
ruler of Sagittarius, does bring with it some luck and opportunities, but
consistency and hard work is usually an important part of the process.
This period could involve your occupation
and any goals you have set for yourself.
As mentioned previously, Saturn can also affect your health, and you
should be careful to neither overdo things nor put too much responsibility on
yourself. Sometimes these extra
responsibilities that often manifest during this period will stem directly from
your superiors. Do not to take on any more
than you are capable of handling and know your limits. If you have been working on a project and it
is near its completion or will find its conclusion at some point during this
year, it is advised that you keep working towards the end result and do not
start any new projects until this one is completed.
This is often a time when you learn about
perseverance and hard work, and patience is often an area that needs some
work. Remember the harder you work at
something, the greater the chances for a successful conclusion. If something does not work out the way you
had planned, you can stay on the same path in some way and make whatever
alterations are required to make things work.
If you find that the potential is not good for a positive outcome, you can
cut your losses and recognize that things are sometimes not meant to be.
You may feel somewhat limited and your normal
optimistic approached to life may be thwarted during this time. You are learning perseverance and the
potential for rewards is also in the works.
Do not allow negativity to enter the picture even though a part of you
wants to break free of the current restrictions. Stay true to yourself. The lessons best learned sometimes teach us
that many things in life are not as we anticipate because we cannot see the whole
picture. Once we
see the whole picture, we may need to change our focus.
