Saturn recently entered the constellation of Virgo. If you have planets in Leo, than you felt the influence of this planet known as the "Lord of Karma". Saturn a distant planet teaches many of life's most difficult lessons, within these lessons are rewards, if weare paying attention. Frustration, is one of Saturn's many areas of expertise. Where you have experienced the highest level of frustration in the past two and a half years is most likely where Saturn has been transiting in your chart. Subtle, yet deliberate. Delays, setbacks, disappointments, depression, restrictions, death and disease. Yes, even loneliness is Saturn's domain. It is usually through our pain or sorrow that we seekto more fully understand ourselves. That brick wall we keep hitting sooner or later wakes us up and that is perhaps where Saturn becomes a new opportunity. Real personal growth begins with our willingness to look inside with our own microscopic eye. This process of peeling away layers, takes time, again Saturn's forte. The slow movementof this planet intends for us to take a good long look and to get the lesson. All said, this may sound like a lot of doom and gloom. Not so quick, (as Saturn would say) the pot of gold, is the wisdom gained. A powerful and well aspected Saturn gives the kind of wisdom that has been earned and along with that leadership abilities. Being at its best it gives one a sense of non-attachment, this particularly is good for spiritual growth.   Slow and deliberate this planet will create changes, the kinds of changes may not beup to you, for we are talking about karma here.
