Saturn in Virgo

White Feather · Aug 29, 2007

Has anyone started feeling the effects of Saturn? (I sure have). It will soon be transiting into Virgo (Sept. 1, IIRC)

The planet Saturn, the astrological symbol of limitations and heavy burdens, exits the sign of Leo and enters Virgo on 2 September 2007 at 13:48:45 UT, not to return to the sign of the Lion for another 25 years or so. What is notable about the sky at the moment of Saturn’s ingress (entry) into Virgo is a massive Cosmic Cross in Common Signs, involving seven of the ten planets. The planetary formation known as the Cosmic Cross features planets in all four of the signs of one quadruplicity (in this case the Common Signs - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) and suggests a situation in which a person feels hemmed in by obstacles on all sides; a problem resolved in one quarter turns into a challenge from another quarter; the person feels besieged and suffers from constant heavy limitations in one form and another. This is the condition of the heavens as Saturn enters Virgo. Because the beginnings of anything influence the whole course and outcome of its future, this indicates a nearly three-year period of relatively strong limitations and challenges for those people having a number of planets in the Common Signs, and is apt to be a time of continual difficulties and frustrations for them until the planet leaves Virgo on 21 July 2010. How the passage of Saturn through Virgo will manifest in the life of any particular person depends, of course, on the individual’s particular horoscope.

Saturn is the outermost of the planets normally visible to the naked eye and so, until the time of the discovery of Uranus, his orbit was the outer limit of the solar system and the planet, as an astrological symbol, implied the limits and limitations of any situation, including a human life. Limitations can take many forms. Health can deteriorate; mental depression can cripple the ability to act; prison can restrain our personal liberty and ability to move about and live; there can be financial setbacks or conditions of want, and so on. Also, any of these forms of limitation can be and usually are mirrored in areas of life that seem unrelated to the original cause, as when money problems crop up in a marriage relationship to become an issue, or health problems are reflected in financial loss and huge debt, with its associated worry and desperation. The problems and frustrations associated with Saturn often cause a person to see himself as isolated and cut off from support and solace, resulting in feelings of loneliness. Saturn is the planet of reality, of material substance, and the cold hard facts of life. He brings burdens, sadness, heavy responsibility and the imposition of obligations and duties that we would rather not assume. Where Saturn passes there is constraint. He unearths things from the past, and brings an end to present situations. His effects are permanent. Underlying all of these more or less external manifestations of Saturn’s power is the deeper spiritual (call it psychological) need to learn to face reality on its own terms without attempting escape into delusion and fancy. Such virtues as patience, dependability, longsuffering, endurance, strength in the face of adversity, the ability to carefully and methodically handle real-life difficulties, and the development of true individuality are built into the personality when we successfully meet Saturn’s challenges. These things are the reward for passing the tests of Saturn.

It DOES depend on individual charts like the article said, but it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact it's better than it had been in a while. Leo is Saturn's sign of detriment which is just pure bad - especially for Saturn, since Saturn is the cause of a lot of bad stuff.

Saturn in mostly perigrine in Virgo, but it has several and frequent periods of mutual receptions by term with Mercury, and that's pretty good. In effect Mercury would be helping Saturn. When Saturn is between 19 and 24 degrees Virgo, which won't be for a little while, he will be dignified by term which is even better.

That's my problem, too; at least as it relates to this year's solar return. This month's lunar return had transiting saturn at 29leo46' while my MC was at 29leo06'. Yes, I felt the fury of Saturn in my house of career & work. Luckily I had a trine to my 2nd house pluto. It could have gone the other way and I could have been fired. So maybe it really wasn't a matter of it changing signs, maybe it was just the lunar return at work. Buit still, 2septemeber doesn't look too good. I already feel stifled and constrained; it will probably only get worse. Natally, Saturn is still in my 12th house. So I have about 15 years before things really get bad.

But 2september2007 has staurn going into virgo, conject my solar return ascendent of 01virgo47'. But my solar return saturn 18leo11 had a grand trine with sun in 9 and jupiter in 4th. Now I'll have to be careful whenever the Moon transits 01Virgo, until next April, at most, since my semi-solar return is coming up in october. The next time transiting saturn is in my 10th house will be 19december. So for two weeks prior until it passes the 19th I will have to be realllly careful.
