Saturn in Capricorn 24th Jan 2020 to 2023

SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS  (since January 2017)


Since early 2017 Saturn entered into the Vedic (Sidereal) constellation of Sagittarius.

Saturn represents democratic rule, facing up to your karma, responsibility, hard work, reality, truth, pressure, change & transformation. Saturn brings delay, obstacles and difficulties.


Sagittarius (and ruling planet Jupiter) represents justice, faith, optimism, philosophy, beliefs, religion, the Monarchy & royalty.


During this time, Saturn asked us to look at what we have believed about certain areas of our life until this point.


Throughout his transit he demanded authenticity, integrity & justice.


He taught lessons about those we look up to and admire and any false sense of faith in these figures came crumbling down; ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN'T GOLD.


We learnt about where we should be focusing our time and energy. If our commitments in love or business were based on an unstable structure, Saturn's reality check would have forced change.


The pressure to transform (Saturn) has played out for each of us in different ways depending on our natal charts, and on a Global level we have seen the manifestation through:


- Donald Trump's behaviour whilst in power (he was inaugurated at the same time Saturn moved into Sagittarius in January 2017)

- Brexit

- #metoo movement

- Climate change

- Scandals in the church

- Changes within the royal family with the meeting and marriage of Harry & Meghan


SATURN MOVES INTO CAPRICORN JANUARY 24th/25th


From January 24th 2020 , Saturn will move out of Sagittarius and transit through Capricorn – its own ruling sign. Specifically his transit will commence in Capricorn at 10 degrees within Uttara Ashada Constellation where Saturn will be in ‘dignity’; he will be home. Capricorn is a powerful sign for Saturn and will deliver a powerful and raw energy fueled with hard work, practicality and truth. He will retrograde back and forth, dipping in and out of Aquarius which we will cover at a later time.


As we complete the cycle of lessons around what inspires us, our vision and what we think is worth believing in, focusing on and committing to, Saturn in Capricorn for the next 3 years will challenge us to commit and "focus on bringing these new insights into form" (as described by Sam Geppi in this video).


This is time to make the next 5 year plan based on these new understandings. What started a few years ago is now culminating and we are now being asked to commit our time and energy to the truth of what has been revealed and take action into what will serve us in the long term. And to do it with LESS.


2020 will see many Capricorn themes with both Jupiter (learning, teachings, travel, gurus, spirituality, fatherly figures) and Mars (surgeries, accidents, sexuality, fiery energy, action) all joining Saturn throughout the year. Jupiter and Saturn have not been conjunct in Capricorn since 1961.


With old illusions shattered, what we have been working hard to understand about ourselves and what inspires us has brought understanding that the ‘old ways’ aren’t working anymore; we need to take this new inspired purpose and take action for the benefit of younger generations.


WORKING WITH, NOT AGAINST SATURN


Saturn represents the karma we have to deal with and usually its not the easiest energy to handle. Saturn is represented by an old man with a walking stick to whack anyone who isn’t learning their lesson. The next few years is the time to make decisions that revolve around hard work. If you are going through Sade Sati (7.5 year transit of Saturn over your moon), you can read more about it here.


There is sometimes unnecessary fear around Saturn but its important to understand the planet’s qualities and work with its energy rather than resist and struggle.  


Saturn (Shani) makes us deal with our karma throughout our life and we feel the most pressure when he transits our ascendant and planets. Whether rich or poor, these challenges are faced by everyone, and are only as hard as you make it and how you react to it.


Some lessons to remember for those experiencing Saturn’s aspect to natal planets is that the pressure you feel or the changes experienced that may not feel good is part of the karmic lessons you need to 'pay back'. It is not worth fighting against what Saturn is trying to teach you during this time but to work with the intensity.



REMEDIES


As advised by the great Astrologer Komilla Sutton, the best remedy for the nest 3 years is all forms of Karma Yoga and giving back to others through charity or donation of time or other resources. Community and environmental support is ideal as well as any form of self sacrificing assistance.


A less is more attitude will help you move away from unrealistic expectations and a focus on those less fortunate and the action you take in order to help others will alleviate the pressure of Saturn's influence.


Everyone can make even the simplest of changes to contribute to a better planet.



WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR VEDIC RISING/MOON SIGN


(Sidereal Vedic Astrology - this is different from your star sign or Western Astrology Rising or Moon sign! Do NOT apply to your sun sign as this may not resonate). For more information on the difference between Vedic and Western Astrology, click here.



Aries Rising or Moon Sign


For Aries Ascendants or Moon Sign (Vedic Sidereal Astrology), Saturn will be entering into your 10th house of your career, authority, status, how the public see you, who you are in the world and how you present yourself to the world!


Since November 2017, Saturn was transiting your 9th house testing your faith, belief system, religion, long distance travel and all forms of higher knowledge. Whether you went back to school, learnt lessons about other people's belief systems or way of living, traveled or met someone from afar, or felt pressure to change the way YOU thought the world worked, the lesson was to change and transform in these areas.


By removing old structures that no longer served a purpose in these 9th house areas, you were taught either through an actual teacher, father or father figure, or a relationship that didn't quite work the way you expected, that sometimes what we believe and as hard as we try to think we know what's good for us, the universe has its own plan. It's easier to accept the lesson and learn that what we have gained (and perhaps lost) was in our greatest favour.


The time now is to focus this new learning into your work as you discover new opportunities in your career. This will require discipline, structure and determination. Whether this will be a positive time or not will depend on your individual chart, the Ashtakvarga scores given to the 10th house and of course the time period (Mahadasha/Antardasha) period you are running.



Taurus Rising or Moon Sign


For Taurus Ascendants or Moon Sign (Vedic Sidereal Astrology), Saturn will be entering into your 9th house of faith, belief system, publishing, fatherly figures, religion, long distance travel and all forms of higher knowledge.

Since November 2017, Saturn was transiting your 8th house of transformation, other people's money, taxes & insurance, life & death scenarios, sex & the occult as well as your insecurities. The pressure that Saturn brought to your 8th house together with the collection of planets in Sagittarius toward the end of 2019 was an incredibly transformative time for you in these areas.


With the ease of Jupiter and the separative energy of Ketu also occupying the 8th house, despite the pressure felt in these areas that Saturn was affecting (either through endings, divorce, surgeries, questioning one’s life, deep learning into occultic topics & tantra), there was much karmic energies at play, bring up old past life and past 'people' which made you question your own deepest insecurities, and yet blessing you at the same time with Jupiter the planet of luck & abundance. So the lack you may have felt, was also met with a catalyst that helped you throughout 2019 through your transformation.


With Saturn entering your 9th house, the next couple of years will see you working hard to gain new learning through study, teachings, beliefs systems, travel for work, issues related to the father, publishing and the way you approach self-care. Whether that means structuring new businesses goals, life goals and value systems, or removing older structures that no longer work with your higher self, Saturn is bringing lessons to the work required in all your relationships and especially the one with yourself as you re-organise your approach to life.



Gemini Rising or Moon Sign

There may have been turbulent energy with another or many others who questioned your behavior and beliefs.  Jupiter blessing the 7th house may have brought an opportunity or partnership that was both painful (Saturn/Ketu) and yet highly spiritual (Jupiter). Sagittarius also rules education and some of you may have returned to University in 2019 and are now on the path to juggling work, family, marriage and 'everyone else' in your life to accommodate your new studies. You may have learnt a lot about yourself in 2019.


This could even have resulted in Marriage where you began to settle into the new relationship and understand how you and your partner relate to each other, or a shorter term relationship, association or partnership that didn’t last long, but taught you a lot about yourself.


With Saturn entering your 8th house, the next couple of years will bring opportunity, lessons and effort toward your shared finances with another, your sex life, how you deal with unexpected changes, your health, and those things you keep secret including your insecurities. The structured, no-nonsense approach of Capricorn is in for a treat with Saturn, although in its own sign, still has a job to do and he will ensure that whatever you haven't been paying attention to in these 8th house areas will need to be worked on.


Do not fear the changes that Saturn brings, what he puts in place in the next couple of years will last for a long time. It is advised to follow the remedies suggested to keep a level head during this time.

The 6th house also rules stomach related issues (digestion), so there may have been some trouble in these areas requiring an overhaul of diet.

Any addictive behaviour also would have been under scrutiny and change as the 12th house shows us the ‘drunkeness’ or ‘pleasure state’ we can feel from certain choices. The 12th house is the unknown and mysterious house, so things, situations and people that had been kept from you or secret that you may not have known before could have come up to deal with.
