| The celestial influences impacting on your year birthday to birthday and 2008/9 are dominated by Saturn, arguably the most beautiful of all the planets, staying firmly in your sign. This transit of your constellation began in September 2007 and continues through to October 2009, with another brief visit between April and July 2010 just to make sure you’ve received the message and have taken all this on board. Saturn is the most distant planet visible with the naked eye and is the slowest of these in its motion through the zodiac. Despite being more photogenic than the other planets known then or even discovered since, it was seen by the old-time astrologers and even by many of those still working currently, as a difficult influence and one of the hardest to have hitting your horoscope. Nowadays, just as telescopes have improved to the stage that you can appreciate Saturn’s beauty from your own backyard, so many of those whose business is more about interpreting the significance of the planets and the stars today, have come to appreciate this reputation for evil seems rather over the top. |

| Sure, if you’re looking for a party then Saturn’s influence won’t be your very favourite. If you believe you can shirk responsibilities to yourself and to others, or that the rules of natural justice guiding the lives of everyone don’t apply to you, then you are in for a tough time. But how many Virgos do you honestly know who think like that? Even if you can name some then they’re probably still quite young, since Saturn has a big connection with promoting increased maturity, either encouraging and fostering its growth and development, or by demonstrating the need for a more sensible and sorted approach to those unwilling to accept this fact. So much as this is not forthcoming, then Saturn will bring problems, forcing you to think again about how you see the world. Whether you listen is entirely up to you, but the alternative of falling by the wayside is probably not that attractive in the end. Saturn puts you on the right course by causing more and more issues until you finally get the picture. If you think things can carry on as before, you’re wrong, and ultimately you’re not the type to be that focussed on wrecking your life. The people you know and the things you do that are causing you trouble, whether personally or professionally are doing this for a reason, because they belong to a previous era and despite the pain of nostalgia and any fear of change, it is time to let go of them and to move ahead. These old activities and relationships provide some certain sense of safety along the lines of the devil you know, and it is recommended not to give up on anything without a fight. But if after all this your efforts still bear no fruit, then you are better moving forwards and with no regrets. Saturn favours simplification, like the austere beauty of this planet and its rings. It will help you to focus on the right things and where anything else is concerned, will throw more and more problems your way until you’re either forced to give up or to go under trying… |

| This planet loves hard work, perseverance, dedication, determination, ambition, application, achievement, common sense and a longer view. It is least impressed by silliness, laziness, quick fixes, anything outmoded, things that are past their sell-by date and that now are just wasting your resources and your time. Its action is like the skilled gardener pruning a rose, removing the dead wood and any spindly shoots, leaving behind a stronger and more open structure with the necessary vigour to support a whole new round of growth. That structure might seem a little sparse now, but the extra space is needed, so check back in a few years before drawing any conclusions about the outcome. In the meantime note that for someone like you to whom life is always quite a serious business and who is usually busy with something or another, that the effects of Saturn’s influence are far from all negative. They might seem unwelcome while they’re happening, but they’ll respond well to your customary approach and with persistence on your part, will help you to complete this period in a better position than when you started, no matter how things might look at the moment. Mainly this will manifest very practically, with the chance to build on your hopes and dreams, making your employment affairs and daily routines far more of what you’d want them to be in spite of any prior setbacks. Equally in your relationships, while anything clearly troublesome is better off gone, there is the chance to form new contacts that are much more suited to you, while any connections worth having come out of this year stronger and with increased levels of commitment all around. |
