Saturn, the Karmic Planet will enter Virgo
on Sept. 2 2007 until July 21 2010
SATURN IN VIRGO
AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP!
Not Instant Karma- LATENT KARMA
Copyright Tara Greene 2007
On September 2, 2007 SATURN ENTERS
A new era begins as Saturn enters Virgo. Raise a big glass of champagne now and toast a fond farewell to Saturn in Leo where
the Cosmic Cop pulled those dramatic, regal, creative, fiery, willful Leo’s up by their bootstraps for the last 2 years.
Leo’s are off the hook now, for 30 years. Saturn will be in Virgo until July 21, 2010.
Every 2 + years Saturn enters another Sign and changes the nature of our reality. The Karmic Planet will be dishing out one
heck of a tough Reality check traversing the earth friendly 6th Sign of Virgo, the Maiden of the Harvest @ 9:44 am EDT/6:44
am PDT/13:44 23 GMT to be precisely Virgoan.
Saturn the Time Lord introduces us to latent karma relating to this crazy reality TV show we call life. He’ll be dishing
out issues relating to work, service, discipline, the harvest, health, business, ecology, hierarchies, etc with but a brief
dip of his leaden toe into Libra Oct. 29, 2009 to April 7, 2010.
Saturn is the harbinger of more earthy tales to come when Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, enters Capricorn in 2008, not to
mention Jupiter entering Capricorn Dec 18th this year. Later…
During Saturn in Virgo those with Natal planets and placemats in Virgo, especially the Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Mid-Heaven
will reap most of the effects most acutely. Cute is never an adjective associated with Saturn.
Virgo is the second-largest constellation in the sky. The Greeks called the constellation Parthenos. She is usually identified
as Dike, goddess of justice, who was daughter of Zeus and Themis; but she is also known as Astraeia, daughter of Astraeus
(father of the stars) and Eos (goddess of the dawn). Virgo is depicted with wings, reminiscent of an angel, holding an ear
of wheat.
While Saturn tours Virgo, the Goddess of the Harvest he will force us all to separate the wheat from the chaff. Saturn is
slow, leaden, Time, the Father, Patriarchy, obstacles, difficulties, hard work, discipline, maturity. Saturn binds, limits,
it is all of the Physical material world.
Saturn rules all corporations, businesses, career, social standing in the world, hierarchies, seniority, seniors, Senators,
ageing. Saturn’s characteristics are austere, serious, weighty. There’s no big laughs when Saturn’s around.
He’s dry as a bone. Usually cautious, responsible and respectful of hierarchies, yet emotions and imagination can be
deep and penetrating. Saturn never rocks the boat. That’s Uranus’s job. Saturn takes 29 ½ years to complete it’s
orbital cycle. This is synchronis with the Moon’s 29.5 day cycle.
SATURN RULERSHIPS- PROFESSIONS AND TYPES
Saturn rules lead, stones that don’t glitter, the dross of all metals and all dust and ashes of everything like garbage
and waste disposals, incinerators, crematoriums, etc. It has some rulership over diamonds, being the hardest minerals. Saturn
rules miners, jewelers, those that work with metals or minerals, geologists, people that work with the earth-farmers and workers,
gardeners, trenches and quarries, grave diggers and people who work in caves and tunnels-subways. Plumbers {lead traditionally}
general labouers and contractors, leather workers. People whose jobs occur in cold, dark places {clubs?} or otherwise unpleasant
places. Night workers, anyone who works in jobs relating to the dead, bereavment and funeral trade people. People who clear
dirt and refuse, sewage, waste disposal. Also any highly responsible manager, prison workers, and the police force, those
who keep order. Monks and hermits, scholars and those who live in secluded outposts or isolate themselves from society are
all under Saturn’s rule.
Saturnine Places-
Dark, damp, dirty, cold and subject to decay and rot. Desolate, inhabitable places-Siberia, deserts, mountains, woods-the
pine in particular is an old symbol for Saturn. Any landscape with caves, wells, holes, obscure valleys-Shangri La?
Saturn governs all structures and buildings and especially archeological ruins, disused buildings, abandoned structures, dens,
monasteries, churchyards, burial gounds, cemeteries. It signifies buildings dealing with authority, high offices, government
buildings, intimidating structures, remember that the World Trade Center fell with Saturn in Gemini the twin towers, opposite
Pluto in Sagittarius, related to religious fundamentalism, terrorists, airplanes and foreigners. Saturn rules toilets, drains,
cellars, basements, air raid shelters.
Saturn traditionally rules two signs, as all of the planets do traditionally, one masculine and one feminine. Modern rulership
sees Saturn ruling Capricorn and ancient ruler ship has Saturn also ruling Aquarius-a bit of a surprise for you rebellious
Aquarians, but it gives you a place to ground..
THE STATE of SATURN ARRIVING IN VIRGO
Saturn has been travelling through the two signs where it is in detriment, weakened and debilitated since June 2003 when it
traversed Cancer, the Sign opposite Capricorn, then Leo, Sign opposite Aquarius since July 2005-Sept. 2007. So Saturn must
be pretty grumpy by now, having been under the spell of it’s own medicine, kind of a homeopathic cure I’d say,
since then, and ready to make home turf in an Earth Sign where Saturn is most comfortable.
Let’s go back in time to when Saturn was last in an Earth sign. This occurred in May 2000 when Saturn was in Taurus
where it conjoined Jupiter at the very important beginning of a 20 year long cycle. These 2 planets rule the Economy as a
whole, and with a stellium of 7 planets in Taurus on May 3rd a new economic cycle began which busted the Dot.com boom. Investments
switched to sensible safe Taurean real estate.
Saturn then entered Gemini and at his opposition to Pluto in late August 2001, the 2 major planets provided the defining moment
for the millennium- so far- 911 and the literal symbolism of Saturn in Gemini, sign of the Twins, opposite the Plutonic destruction
by airlines, religious terrorists, foreigners – Sagittarius – the symbol of western economic imperialism. The
Western world was shattered and polarized. Religious fundamentalism was suddenly the agenda, both that of Islam and that of
American NeoCons. Just as predicted in George Orwell’s novel 1984, a strange war against an indefinable enemy began
–,the war on terrorism. On a personal level, what Saturn’s journeys since it entered Cancer in 2003, has created,
is circumstances that seem beyond personal control have been undermining the situation of the individual in a long and tiring
process of dissolution. Being Saturn-ruled, this naturally affects Capricorns and Aquarians most.
Having been debilitated in Cancer Saturn’s infamous weak knees were already quaking as he entered Leo, and his most
recent outer planet aspect, that of its’ opposition to Neptune, which we’ve been experiencing for most of 2007
has put old Saturn or Satan under wraps and in a fog of delusion, illusion, addictions, fantasy and drugs. In other words
our view of Reality has been twisted and warped, through Saturn’s lens and we are definitely totally befuddled as to
the nature of Reality or don’t even bother to ask anymore-just look at the state of American and Canadian and the World’s
politics these days.
The Karmic Lesson that we’ve been needing to learn with Saturn in Leo opposite Neptune in Aquarius is that It’s
not the worst thing to surrender your ego, but the best, to accept that there are higher forces – karma perhaps –
that cannot be avoided. The lesson of Saturn/Neptune is that everything physical in life {Saturn}is transitory {Neptune} and
will be dissolved by time. If you only believe in the physical world and it’s apparent riches you are caught in the
trap of Satan. The kind of acceptance that arises from connecting to true Spirit and seeing through the temptations and glamour
of Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Aquarius is nourishment for the Soul. “Saturn always wins” someone I knew always
said. As far as the soul is concerned, the losers wins, and the winner loses. That’s Saturn’s turf. So this is
the journey we’ve all just come through.
So, there is only one thing for Saturn to do, get to solid ground, back to hard work and get healthy again. Saturn has just
Trined Pluto at 26 degrees Leo/Sagittarius, and is ready to be reborn especially with Pluto conjunct the Galactic Center.
As he puts his feet on solid ground again in Virgo Saturn’s gonna do what he does best-make the buck stop here. As you
sow so shall you reap is Saturn’s motto. Saturn will have those who have sown in haste on shaky ground without forethought
on their knees and that goes for all departments-government, culture, religion, food, health, medicine, etc. Of course Saturn
will show us the limits of how we’ve raped the Earth and bring us karmic balance through earth changes.
THE WORK-
Saturn will help us scutinize work, discipline, responsibility, completing the job efficiently, analyzing. As Saturn limits
and brings obstacles, work will change, slow down, work will be seen as community service, for the good of all. We will perfect
the health system, old structures are due to be reaped in the harvest cycle. The way seniors are viewed and treated will change,
honour will come to the elderly. There will be food shortages and earth changes.
Fed us with XS, dumped SUV’s will be turned into practical living shelter’s for the poor. Life will become simpler,
back to nature, growing one’s own food, dealing with one’s own community, sharing the work of caring for the elderly,
living in communal societies. Working with one’s hands, and hands on knowledge will be prized.
Virgo is the Goddess’s Sign, Her energies will rise, business will shift to a female centered ethic based on human values,
family responsibilities, universal mother wages, paid maternity leave for a year for mothers, and paid father support. The
Goddess also will show us how GMO, additives, chemicals, plastics, fluoride, chlorine have all been creating cancer rampant
throughout our societies now. A move to Green everything is already underfoot and will leave a No Footprint map on everything.
The entire health structure will shift to alternative medicine, ancient healing techniques, acupuncture, herbs, Wise woman
ways, shamanism, water, sound, light, etc.
Incompetent, over-inflated leaders will disappear from the scene, hooray. The dross and bling will fizzle. This transition
to Virgo is supported by Jupiter’s entry into Capricorn December 18th, where it goes on to make a trine to Saturn at
7 degrees in January 2008... just as Pluto moves into Capricorn. Ths is going to be a wonderfully re-constructive period.
Although the repeated Mars opposition to Pluto from January – March 2008 points to a crisis in War, the economy.
THE ‘60’s RELOADED
The major event for Saturn in 2008 is its opposition to Uranus – something that takes place only once every 46 years.
The first opposition takes place at 18 degrees Virgo/Pisces synchronisticaly in time of the US election in November 2008.
The aspect repeats in February 2009 at 20 degrees and in September at 24 degrees. This planetary cycle another stage in the
maturation of the seeds that were planted n the ‘60’s at the Uranus Pluto Conjunction conjunction which spawned
hippies, political and cultural revolt, mind expansion and the notably focus on an enormous generation gap.
How will the virtual world of Uranus in Pisces oppose the practical world of Saturn in Virgo? YouTube and all other web access
will have a huge groundbreaking affect on attitudes and will revolutionize the actual balance of power. Ultimately the illusions
of the old order will succumb to the freedom loving revolutionary anarchy of Uranus and this will create a huge new effect
on elections.
Known as Chronos, from which we derive the word for Time, Saturn, the Cosmic Cop, ruler of Karma, builder of
corporations, ruler of maturity, ageing, seriousness, manifestation, and the Patriarchy is a very important Planet, for
it represents the way you see and experience the universe- REALITY- 3D, the physical world- as you have structured it.
Talk about Reality Shows!
Saturn entering a new sign indicates a change in our Reality, in hard core, just the facts m'am terms. Saturn
in Saturn helps us to have discipline,self-respect, faith in one's destiny, and the ability to be alone.
But Saturn shouldn't
be thought of as all bad. After all, Time is relative. There are no judgments. Saturn merely represents the Karmic Universal
Law of Cause and Effect. "As you sow, so shall you reap." So we will be physically confronted with the effects
of thinking only of ME,and the inability to plan where our fuel supplies will be coming from in the next few years. Saturn
helps us to get disciplined, serious, mature, take responsibility.
Hey, we
all need to take more responsibility for what we have created personally and also collectively. Goya's famous painting of Saturn eating his children
comes to mind. In Vedic Astrology Saturn is the Great Malefic, feared and honoured. A friend of mine used
to say that "Saturn/Time always wins out." .
Saturn is associated with the Tarot Card of the Universe/The World # 21, the last stage of the journey.
The card pictures a naked woman/Goddess dancing in space, free, because she has taken responsibility for creating her life
according to her will, she has learned how to harness Saturn's energies. Saturn in the Kabbalah is linked with Binah, the
3rd Sephira, in the Trinity of the Archetypal Realm. Saturn is the Supernal Mother, the One of Understanding who gives us
physical form, who births all. Thus Saturn is the Goddess and restricts Spirit as it manifests into form and time. A
Native American pipe invocation states that: Everything is born of the Feminine. Let's see Saturn as the Feminine Divinity
from which we are all born, and understand our common ground of being.
The house
or houses that Saturn will be transiting for the next 2+ years indicates the part of your life that is being examined and
tested and represents areas of the greatest tension in your life, to which you must direct close attention. Without further ado I present my Sun sign Forecast for Saturn's Karmic Korrections 4 U with musical accompanyment by...color=#33ccff size=3>

Aries
Saturn will be in your Solar 6th house,the Natural Virgo House of work, service, health,pets,and
Saturn will have a stronger affinity for you in the natural House of Virgo.
Hard work doesn't scare an Aries so you can expect that you will be sweating it out for the next two years. Getting organized,
disciplined and FOLLOWING THROUGH TO THE END, not a usual Arian trait is what the Cosmic Dr. ordered. If you are disorganized
for even 1 measly minute, then ding! Saturn will write you out your karmic parking ticket and you'll have to pay for it. There
will be no excuses allowed. Focus on longer term goal Aries. It's your time to mature, get responsible. You will enjoy the
sense of accomplishment. You will also need to learn how to delegate work to others because this house rules co-workers, employees
and those who are "in service" to others. Try to get off your fired up bossy horse and realize that we are not all alone in
the world but part of a group.
Taurus, Saturn in your 5th House
Saturn is Blessing you Bulls, so it's your turn to reap the rewards because you've been working so hard already. Saturn in
your 5th House is a time of getting serious and maturing in love affairs, self-expression, leadership, willpower, courage,
daring to fight for your convictions and children. A lot of men will father children during this time period.
Saturn is helping you build the practical results. If you've put on weight during Saturn's trudge Leo you will have the discipline
to shed it now.
The 5th house is the house of pleasurable activities, fun, dating, intimacy and children. Life will become a lot more serious
because you need to get serious. Even if you are a hard working Taurus and not the lazy type and of a "mature age" it appears
as though you need to clean up your act. Forget the bar hopping and getting plastered because you will get busted. You can't
get away with self-indulgence anymore. If you are single, you may look at "older" others and more traditional types with a
kinder and more sympathetic note. The 5th house is the House of the Child and the kid turns 21, or at least puberty. Children
may leave the nest or if you are younger there may be a wee one. This house also rules creativity and self-expression so it
would be a great time to take up and or take seriously, your creativity. All types of self-expression
apply- painting, playing music, singing, dancing or anything that takes serious study and concentration. Saturn will help
you stay focused on the task at hand. If ever wanted to learn how to play the piano or guitar, now is the time. This is also
beneficial for your own children.
GEMINI-Saturn in your 4th house-
Building a new foundation from the ground up!
Saturn will knock all that air out of your brains and fill it with dirt. The grey matter will look distinctly brown and earthy
and things will matter to you in a way they may never have done before.
This is a turning point for all Gemini's as the 4th house is the foundation of your Chart, the roots and what you plant now
will be harvested in 14 years time. This is a time for new beginnings. You will work hard and instead of flitting about getting
bored to easily might actually enjoy staying with something. You will be paying-literally- attention to your Home, your
roots, family, possibly your Dad. This is an inward turning time, a good time for psychotherapy. Time to buy a house, or other
real estate, plant some roots. Saturn helps you discipline yourself with a good diet regime. Mom or Dad may move into your
house or become a big responsability. A time of endings and new beginnings.
