Astrology by Mary MacLean

 I hope you will be delighted with the spectacular shifts on this site, spearheaded by this New Moon!  It brings fourth many issues I want to discuss with all of you. 

As you know, I will not be doing the bi-monthly forecast for the web site.  It was a major commitment with no financial gratification. 

 I enjoyed doing it but recently I have been doing something different.  I have been writing a New Moon and Full Moon forecast for some of my clients using  their individual natal charts.  This has been very rewarding for them and for me. 

 I would like to make this service available to you.  I will write the New Moon forecast for your personal natal chart with the addition of how your planets intercede in this process.  I will also include anything vital that happens to affect you by transit.  In essence I will be doing a short personal reading for you bi-monthly. 

 The fee for this is $30. 00 a month.  If you want a three month involvement, it will be $25.00 a month. A six month involvement would be $20.00 a month.  You can find these options on my pay pal page. This is a one-time only introductory price.

 I cannot do more than 20 people, as my time and space are limited.   I have already gotten several subscriptions just in the Denver area. I am sorry I have to limit this to 20 people at this time.

 Remember, I will be sending you personal information from your natal chart not random ideas that would fit millions. 

 If you need or require more detail from any NM or FM, I will be available for $ 2.00 a minute either by phone or skype. 

 I am delighted to support you in all your goals and objectives with my knowledge of Astrology.   You will receive an email twice a month with my personal interpretation of the New Moon or Full Moon influence in your chart.  It will also include any transits that I feel will impact you during this time.  It will be like having me in your back pocket. 

I love being able to offer you this kind of personal support with Astrology!

Now let’s focus on this New Moon.  This New Moon is at 26 degrees of Aquarius.  It is conjunct the Sun, Chiron, and Neptune.  There are a lot of cycles merging at this time, and as I say that, this cycle seems to be the most influential.  This NM sends you in a new direction but not without fear. (Neptune) In what house does this land for you?  This will tell you where this new beginning will take place.   The challenge that comes with this New Moon is one of not knowing the outcome but trusting that whatever happens can only be better than the past.  Aquarius is an intellectual air sign and its major appeal is inspiration.  You will be inspired by the thoughts and application of this New Moon.  There is still a Pluto square to Saturn but you are surely coming thru the worst of it.  The magic word for Pluto Saturn aspects is surrender.

 Mars in Leo at 4 degrees is making a quincunx aspect to Pluto and a similar quincunx aspect to the Venus Jupiter conjunction in Pisces.  They call this The Finger of God aspect.  Two quincunxes and an opposition are the makings of The Finger of God aspect.  The opposition is Mars opposing Mercury.   What does this aspect mean? This aspect gives energy and originality in solving difficult situations.  The Finger of God aspect points to Mars in Leo.  Leo is the house that will experience an influx of energy and originality.  Mars also makes a sextile to Saturn supplying you with some structural opportunities.  On the 16^th and 17^th of February there will be a wonderful Venus conjunct Jupiter.  Depending on where it is located in your chart will bring concentrated good news.  This New Moon is decisional as it is leading to March 10^th when Mars will go direct and certain situations will become solidified.  Mars will be a 0 degrees for 3 weeks which will slow things down considerably.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am rewriting this from Chicago so that I don’t miss my deadline.  I thought I wrote this already but when I went to finish it, I could tell that little green men came in the night and changed my article to lots of disconnected thoughts. They even messed up the dates and aspects.  So, here I am, Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, rewriting my Full Moon forecast.

As we slip into December, you can tell things are starting to rev up for the holidays.  This Full Moon is at 10 degrees of Gemini, the sign of the Twins.  You will find yourself multi-tasking all over the place.  (Take a minute to realize that some of us are better at this than others).  Venus enters Sagittarius on the 2^nd of December changing your vibration from emotion to ” LET’S PARTAY!”  Mars has taken up residence in the sign of Leo at 17 degrees as of December 1^st and slows down considerably as it prepares to go retrograde on December 20^th.  If you can find the house in your chart that is ruled by Leo, you will find the area of your life in which  all of this is taking place.  “RETROGRADE” means to go back, even though in reality, the planet only looks like it’s going backward.  The truth of the matter is that it is changing in depth as it revolves around the Sun. There have been certain decisions you have made since Oct. 17^th that you will be reviewing and accepting or rejecting during this retrograde period.  Mars stays retrograde until March 10^th, 2010.  Mars always acts like a mini-Saturn during this transit and redefines the house and sign that it occupies.  So expect some changes, maybe little ones or even big ones; it really depends on the placement in the chart and the personal planets that are in aspect.

Uranus goes direct on December 2^nd paving the way for the unexpected to materialize.

Mercury is going retrograde on December 26^th, 2009 until January 15^th, 2010.  The Mercury cycle starts on December 6^th as it enters Capricorn.  When it reaches 5 degrees of Capricorn, it would be wise to journal the next couple of weeks until it goes retrograde on December 26^th at 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Mercury represents communication and when it transits Capricorn, it tends to define things such as plans.  The type of plans that will be redefined is defined by the location of the Constellation of Capricorn in the chart.  Since it doesn’t change signs, there may be a delay or change in your schedule. You will know on December 26^th.

There will be many social events and a general need for all of us to extend a helping hand to everyone who needs assistance.  Look around you. Where can you make a difference in just one person’s life?  Little things mean so much when people don’t have much to be happy about.  This is a time to share love without boundaries, to smile with meaning and to have hope in your heart for all humanity.

Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances look them up.

Please read your rising sign as it will give you more insight into these events.

ARIES-(MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  You are trying to do 100 things at once and succeeding quite well.  You love this vibration.  This FM brings with it some changes, especially, those that have to do with short distance travel,  brothers and sisters, communications and, last but not least, community.  Earth signs, such as Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus would call this a chaotic period.  Mars is slowing down and preparing to go retrograde in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This is the house that is changing under the pressure of the Mars transit.  Even though this is an uncomfortable time, it will benefit you in the long run.  Remember  Saturn is transiting your 7^th house of partnerships, business or personal, and together these changes can have a great impact on your life.  Partnership issues are definitely a source of contention at this time.  Mercury retrograde will be in your 10^th house of career.  This is the area to look for delays. There will be a powerful Mercury conjunct Pluto on December 7^th that is very meaningful for you.  Uranus will be going direct in your 12^th house opening the doors to the past and unexpected situations.

TAURUS-(APRIL 20-MAY 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of values (money and love).  These are changes that you don’t want to deal with but deal you must.  Your personal money is on the line and, possibly, a loving relationship.  The last two weeks have been opening the path for you. Mars in your 4^th house of home and core issues is being redefined by the Mars transit and is slowing down to go retrograde on December 20^th, 2009.  You will notice that your moods will not change as fast and situations linger on more than you are used to.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto on December 7, 2009 and announce some important and powerful communications.  This will start the Mercury retrograde cycle for you.  It takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  Affairs of this house will be delayed.  Saturn is now transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This area will slowly be transformed into a better fit for you in the coming years.

GEMINI-(MAY 21-JUNE 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  These are changes in how you appear and possibly in your personality.  This is the area that you should expect changes.  Maybe there is a change in attitude towards partnership or some dealing with the public.  Mars is transiting your 3^rd house of communication and community acting like a mini-Saturn.  It will be slowing down enough to make you want to scream but take the time to think about what you are trying to accomplish in such a hurry. Your charisma is taking you forward to new horizons and new vistas.  Mercury conjuncts Pluto on December 7^th in your 8^th house of partnership resources and produces strong power issues, determination and ambition.  This is also the house where Mercury goes retrograde so don’t expect things to move too quickly after the 26^th of December.  There are opportunities all around. Look forward not back.  I know you will love all the chatter and running around.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and preparation and the unconscious.  You may have found that this is a time of revelation to some of the issues you have been dealing with.  Worries and thoughts of “what if’s” seem to keep you in a constant state of awareness.  Your level of anxiety is high but you love it. Mercury conjuncts Pluto on December 7 in your 7^th house of partnerships starting your Mercury cycle off with a bang.  This is an important day.  Mercury slows down by the 26^th of December and delays some issues that deal with partnerships and general public.  Mars is transiting the 2^nd house of personal money and love and redefining that area in your life.  Mars also slows down to a crawl around the 20^th of December forcing you to deal with some new uncomfortable situations.  This takes place in your 4^th house of home.  These delays are difficult as they happen in angular houses in your chart. (1st, 4th, and 7^th houses)

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  This is where the changes take place.  You may find that some situations require that you revise your goals to meet current demands that deal with children, creativity and love affairs of the 5^th house.  There is a lot of activity in the 7^th house pushing you in one direction and then another.  You may feel like the ultimate rubber band.  Mars in your 1^st house of personality is driving you to promote your current direction.  It will slow down around the 20^th and allow you to revisit the last two months and move forward.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto on December 7^th in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This is a strong communication and very important as it paves the way for you.  This is the beginning of the Mercury cycle for you.  This  slows down and goes retrograde on the 26^th of December.   Saturn in Libra, your 3^rd house, gives you a preview of what is to come in September of 2010.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  There are changes in your career or how people see you.  You may have acquired a new skill or new label. This change benefits your everyday work and health house.  Mars transiting your 12^th house of the past and unconscious is acting like a mini-Saturn asking you to look closer at the past and decide what baggage is expendable and what is relevant.  This can take awhile so don’t rush.  You will be able to let go of current emotional baggage that keeps you from the Promised Land.   Saturn is not finished with you yet, as it re-enters Virgo on April 8^th, 2010 to conclude its final transit on July 23^rd, 2009.  This period gives you an indication of where you are going and a preview of Saturn in Libra.  Take advantage of this look into the future.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 5^th house starting with a powerful conversation on December 7^th followed by the Mercury retrograde cycle.  Expect delays in this area and, especially, watch December 26^th for delays to show up.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, education, philosophy and foreign affairs.  These changes take place in the 9^th house which is a mental house as well as the 3^rd house.  This may be a change in attitude as well as any of the above mentioned areas. Mars is transiting your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  This Mars cycle will re-define this area as it takes on the ambition of a mini- Saturn.  This will take until March 10, 2010.  Watch December 20^th 2009 for you to internalize some of your decisions up to this point.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues beginning a Mercury cycle that starts off with some powerful communication. This Mercury will go retrograde on the 26^th of December and promises some delays when it comes to situations on the home front.  Saturn now transiting your 1^st house gives you an indication of what is to come in July and September of 2010.  As Saturn returns to Virgo on April 8^th 2010, it will revisit the issues of October and November of 2009.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.   This sounds like it could be ominous but, in reality, it can be as simple as incoming money changes.  This is not necessarily good or bad, just a change.  Mercury is going to conjunct Pluto on December 7^th beginning a new Mercury cycle in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  This can also involve brothers and sisters and short distance travel.  More than likely, it will all be about communications.  Mercury goes retrograde on December 26^th, 2009 and promises delays in 3^rd house matters.  Mars in all its glory is transiting your 10^th house of career redefining this area of your chart.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th promising a retrospect of the last 2 months.  This is going to act like a mini-Saturn so expect some review and redefining.  Saturn is in Libra giving you an indication of what is coming in July and September of 2010.  It will return to Virgo to complete some unresolved issues on April 10^th, 2010.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnership (business or personal).  There will be changes in partnerships but, in case you were wondering, they are necessary.   Venus is entering your 1^st house and brings much fun and party time.  Mercury is conjunct Pluto on December 7^th in your 2^nd house of personal finances and love.  This is a powerful communication about money that is important and starts off the Mercury cycle.  Mercury will go retrograde on December 26^th so expect some delays.  Mars is transiting the 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  As the transit continues, it is being re-defined by Mars acting like a mini-Saturn.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th promising certain changes in the 9^th house. Saturn has entered your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes giving you an indication of what is to come in July and August of 2010.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  There may be changes in either, or both, of these areas of your life.  Look for new opportunities and changes in existing plans at work.  Mercury conjuncts Pluto in your 1^st house of personality and appearance and you can have an important communication that shines the light on you and your personality.  You will be seen as someone to be reckoned with. This starts off the Mercury cycle for you.  On December 26^th Mercury will go retrograde and you may be some unwanted delays that you encounter.  Mars is transiting your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes and continues to promise a redefinition of this area of your life.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th so expect delays here also.  Saturn has entered Libra, your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  You may have been feeling as if career matters need to be revised and, actually, that is what will be going on in the next 2 ½ years. The period between now and April 8^th will give you an indication of what is coming in July and August of 2010. Meanwhile, the period from April 10^th 2010 to July 2010 is a final resolution to Saturn in Virgo.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Expect changes in this area, especially, in the next week.  This will be the culmination of some challenges you received two weeks ago.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and the unconscious promising a powerful realization or communication.  Mercury will be going retrograde on December 26^th, so expect some upsets and delays.  Mars is transiting the 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal) and promises a re-defining of this area of the life. This redefinition is going to help you, not hinder you.  This is important as it will enable you to get the most out of the Saturn in Libra transit.  Saturn transiting Libra at this time gives you the indication of what will transpire in July and August of 2010.  Venus just entering Sagittarius is promising some fun party times.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues promising changes in these areas.  You can change your mind about anything, even your attitude.  Uranus is still in your 1^st house and going direct putting unexpected adventure in your path.  Communications seem to light up the career sector of your life. As Mercury continues on its path, it conjuncts Pluto in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  This is a powerful and hopefully positive communication but Mercury will be going retrograde on December 26^th, so expect delays.  Mars is transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health promising redefining by a Mars-like mini-Saturn.  This is important as it will help you focus in on the Saturn in Libra transit. Mars also goes retrograde on December 20^th allowing you to revise and review the last 2 months of events.  Saturn in Libra at this time will give you an indication of what is coming in July and August of 2010.

When Saturn enters the sign of Libra in October, Mars will do a dance in the house of Leo.  What does that mean for the world?  What does that mean for you personally?  This will become a matter of interpretation and your best source is a good Astrologer.  Let me explain more specifically.  First, Saturn will be entering Libra on October 30^th, 2009.  If you are a Libra, many challenges and new obligations will be put before you.  Your acceptance of these challenges is revealed by your natal Sun and aspects.  For all intents and purposes, the vibration will change from organizing and detailing everything and anything (Saturn in Virgo) to deciding what works and what doesn’t. Saturn will ask you to examine the area that it transits in order to update and revise outworn conditions that weaken this part of your life.  You will use your Libra powers of artistic symmetry, affability, cardinality and social awareness to change the vision of Libra in your personal chart.  Saturn is exalted in Libra and responds well.   Saturn entering Libra will structure where the structure is weak.  Stabilize any discordant situations and restructure, providing the needed structure that has been lost thru the past, to establish a new solid foundation for you to build upon.

Second, if you are another Sun sign, somewhere in your chart the sign of Libra is present.  This will be the area of redefinition.  You may think that this will only affect Libras.  Surprise!  There is an area in all of our charts that is ruled by the constellation of Libra.

Did I hear you say, “Where is it?”  It could be anywhere.  It will totally depend on your exact time of birth and where you were born.  Oh yes, we mustn’t forget the date of birth.  Unless you are a student of Astrology, you will have to confer with an Astrologer to get your correct alignment.  I would like to give you an indication of what Saturn in Libra will be about when we look at the placement in your personal charts. 

Third, at the same time that Saturn enters Libra, Mars will be transiting Leo and go retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 at 19 degrees of Libra.  Mars at this time takes on the vibration of Saturn and redefines the area that it transits in your natal chart.  Mars will retrograde back to 0 degrees of Leo on March 10^th, 2010.  It will be important to note what planets you have in Leo in order to track the transit of Mars in this area.  If there are conjunctions and/or other aspects in this sector, they will produce much stronger and more personal meanings.  One thing I noticed was that Mars went into Leo, a signal of regality and defined determination; however, with the retrograde going all the way back to 0 Leo, to then go direct, I would hasten to say that your first course of action will be modified or delayed before you can actually commit to moving forward on the direct motion.  This will depend on the planets that you have in Leo and/or the aspects that they make from that position.  If that didn’t give you enough of a headache, keep in mind that this Mars will also be making a square to any planets that are transiting a fixed sign.  (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.)  Now that I have lost you in the realm of transiting planets, I do want to delineate for you the possibilities of this Saturn in Libra sextile Mars in Leo.  The other important transit that I found was transiting Saturn will square transiting Pluto in early degrees of Cardinal signs.  This aspect will eliminate and transform every aspect in 0 degrees to 5 degrees of all Cardinal signs.

  Before I move into that realm, I would like to say that this is a deliberate effort on the side of whoever is in charge to move you in the best direction for you personally.  If you have intercepted houses, you will have to cut and paste to make this work for you.  When the Mars transit is over, you will recognize the genius of it all.

Saturn entering Libra in the 1^st house has a lot of issues.  The most important issue is the start of a whole new Saturn transit thru the chart.  This is a beginning that leaves the last 28 years behind.  Saturn in the 1^st house is all about redefining how you appear to the outside world.  This could mean appearance, or how people perceive you.  Saturn will solidify the traits of Libra in the next 21/2 years.  Libras are masked hippies.  Under all those flowers and artistic acumen lies the heart of a real hippie.  You remember them, don’t you?  Well, they are still with us in the guise of Libras.  They are social butterflies and are the happiest when they are with people.  They love social opportunities as they shine at that time.  If you have Libra on the ascendant, or are a Libra native with planets in the 1^st house, this is a time of new beginnings.  This is the perfect time to reinvent yourself and you will have a lot of help from Saturn.  Your natural Venetian flair will be updated and undergo a restructuring.  You will be the new and improved Libra rising.

Saturn entering Libra in the second house has the distinction of redefining your values.  The classic traits of Libra are given to the second house of values and love.  Values can mean many things to many people and surely, Libra will have his or her very earnest meanings.  The term “values” incorporates the themes of love and money.  A Libra can define love emotionally, physically and psychologically, but it is totally encapsulated in the word “share”.  To a Libran “sharing” is a magic word.  If they can’t share, they don’t feel alive or loved.   Keep in mind the inability of Libra to make decisions and add that to the pot.  Now things start to get interesting because finances will also be redefined with the usual Libra flair.  Libra is ruled by Venus.  So wonderful can be a lovely thought, a jaunting vacation thru the museums of Europe, a dear friendship or just sharing coffee with someone.  This is all about solidification.

Saturn entering Libra in the third house is an indication of solidarity in dealing with communications and community.   Since Libra is a Cardinal sign it automatically feels the urge to initiate communications and be very active in community concerns.  This Saturn transit to the 3^rd house will make you rethink anything that you have to say before you have to say it.  You will learn quickly that you need to cover your butt and only communicate what you know is fact.  Libra in the 3^rd house does make you a bit loquacious, but in a friendly and social way. If you have planets in this house, the urge to orate is also present. This also will open conversations with brothers and sisters and make conversations more compassionate and understanding.  This is a redefining of your immediate environment, communications, and community by adding structure where it is needed to solidify this area of your life.

Saturn in Libra in the 4^th house is all about redefining your core issues.  This is an important house as it is angular and Cardinal.  Libra in this 4^th house screams “designer home.”  Libra screams creativity and artistic acumen.  To be sure, your home is going to be the focus for the next 2 ½ years.  The home is an outward manifestation of who you are deep inside; so if there are any changes to your home there will be definite changes to your inner core issues.  Your motto will be “Is this what I really want?” This question will answer many questions about the “you of today” and the “you of yesterday”.   This is the area of beginnings and endings.  Saturn in this house is open to new beginnings when faced with worn out habits that accomplish nothing.  It is also the house of endings.  There are no new beginnings without endings.  This redefinition will take place in your home and in your deepest core.  Saturn entering any angle will always, and without exception be more personal to the native.

Saturn in Libra in the 5^th house is all about redefining your creativity. After this transit is over, your house of creativity will be totally restructured.  Any areas that were weak or not stable will be up for redefinition. This house has many meanings but they can all fall under creativity.  Children are a main creative accomplishment. Saturn’s transit thru this house refines, develops and structures any dealing with children. Another aspect of the 5^th house is love affairs and Saturn’s transit will solidify or stabilize any relationship that is of benefit to you.  If this is a destructive relationship, Saturn’s transit will terminate it.  Gambling and investments are other avenues of the 5^th house. Saturn’s transit has a tendency to bring reality to the forefront of your mind.

Saturn in Libra in the 6^th house influences the everyday work aspect in your life.  Libra in this house has always promoted a love of people and beauty.  Your respective outlay of energy for this house will always have to do with the elements of beauty, jewelry, cosmetics, home décor, anything with an element of artistry. Dealing with people is a must for you.  Saturn is at its peak in Libra and responds well.  This house is also the house of health.  With Venus ruling this house, your love of gourmet food can leave you a tad bit on the chunky side. Saturn transiting this area of your life will definitely put you on the straight and narrow when it comes to health issues or overindulgence of any kind.

As Saturn transits this house, you will notice your vision of everyday work seems to solidify in front of your eyes.  Saturn will create a structure that is strong and lasting and more efficient for you in the coming years.

Saturn in Libra in the 7^th house has everything to do with partnership, business or personal, and dealing with the public.  We all know that Libras are people who love partnerships, romance, harmony and, of course, sharing.  Wherever Saturn transits, it restructures and redefines.   This is a time when partnerships, business or personal, come into the spotlight.  The questions you are asking yourself are?  “Is this relationship currently fulfilling my needs?  What is missing in my relationship?”  If you are married, or pseudo married you will notice that as Saturn enters this 7^th house, you start to pay more attention to partnership matters.  There is always a tendency to grow apart when your are knee deep in work, rearing children and making a living.  However, most relationships will recognize these situations and try to remedy them the best that they can.  This is a bit different.  If Libra is on your 7^th house cusp, this is a personal reevaluation of the relationship and not a joint one.  In order for Saturn to do its job, you will be questioning everything that your relationship offers and what it does not.  The object of this game is to fill in the blanks with the missing elements of your relationship.  If your relationships are built on weak foundations, you will be asked to strengthen them. 

 Saturn in Libra in the 8^th house of partnership resources, sex, death and taxes, will take a strong look at the structures that have been set up in your life that deal with how people value you.  You may have a tendency to be a little too free with your money, always stating, “That money isn’t everything”.  Your whimsical outlook will take a turn as Saturn enters this area of your life.  Saturn will demand structure and value even if Libra is fond of sharing.  One sided sharing is not conducive to a secure foundation in this house.  Saturn in the 8^th defines monies from others, be it inheritance, partnership finances or institutional monies.  Aspects to and from this 8^th house in your natal chart will have an impact on how you experience this transit.  This is also the house of the occult and deeper and more personal connections to the mysteries of life are in the offing with this transit. 

Saturn in Libra in the 9^th house of philosophy, law, higher education, foreign affairs and writing and publishing are the issues that will be examined during this transit.  My first observation is that this is a mental and/or spiritual house and has a direct connection to how you observe life and live it.  Libra Sun in the 9^th house is the lawyer, the priest or philosopher, the writer and intellectual traveler.  As Saturn enters this house, the beliefs and structures of this house will be challenged.   This can be a time of self-examination and mental strides.  All of this bodes well for you because the next house of examination will be the 10^th house where a life pinnacle will be reached. Expect personal evaluation to color your life thru this transit.  Saturn will answer all your personal questions with renewed more meaningful structures.  This transit will leave you secure within yourself.

Saturn in Libra in the 10^th house of career and how the world sees you is a pinnacle you have reached with many years of dedication to your own personal growth.  This is a high point and you will feel rewarded with achievements. Libra in this house tends to lean towards the arts and artistic endeavors along with dealing on a social level with your career.  Event planners, creators of social affairs and/or artistic careers all fall under the auspices of Libra in the 10^th house.   Saturn entering the 10^th house signals an achievement in your life direction.  The important issue then becomes, “Where can I go from here?”  Now you are faced with redefining career objectives.  Saturn in this 10^th house redefines career and builds a solid foundation to build new goals.  New directions and interests lead you to investigate areas for new opportunities.  The fact that life is in constant transition seems to be of special concern and your willingness to experience that transition enhances your creative imagination.

Saturn in Libra in the 11^th house of goals, hopes, wishes and group affiliations brings your social life into focus.  Libra in this house encourages you to join certain groups that interest you and build goals within this group environment.  You may see yourself as the savior of animals and orphans or longing to share with society the dissolution of some apparent evil that exists in today’s world.  Your love of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a constant social goal.  Your desires are paramount in this house and the ability to make them a reality is at the core of this transit.  Saturn will test your interest and desire, ultimately to make sure that you have enough structure to ensure success.  Any planets or aspects that originate from this area in your natal chart will increase your attention to whatever occurs.

Saturn in Libra in the 12^th house enters the hidden areas of your past, subconscious, connection to the universal consciousness, institutions and emotional excess baggage.  The Saturn transit will have it’s work cut out for it. In this area we have stored many old tapes on who and what we should be like.  Here we find useless habits that can injure our future and past recriminations of our imperfect nature.  Libra in this house has a tendency to have hidden social fears and a mixture of flights of fancy and a need for privacy and creative endeavors that take place in the background of your life.  As Saturn transits this position, it will be impossible to hang on to any of the old litany.  Saturn will examine every thought, word and action that may be stored in your 12^th house and, if it doesn’t cut the mustard, it will be disposed of.  The object of a Saturn transit is to restructure and lay a solid foundation for the future.  This Saturn transit gets rid of the old, outworn, and useless inhabitants of your psyche and opens the doors to the reinvention of self that happens when Saturn enters the 1^st house.
