Saturn
in Scorpio
On
October 5 transiting Saturn moved into the sign of Scorpio where it will remain
for approximately for the next 2 1/2 years.
Saturn
is the planet that structures our lives through achievement and
responsibility. Saturn is known
for its “taskmaster” qualities, testing our character through limitation. The
lessons associated with Saturn shows us where potential lies through the
paradoxical box it seemingly holds us in.
Scorpio
deals with the inner sanctums of life and the underworld of our psyche. There
is nothing casual or aloof about Scorpio. Power, control, conflict,
death/rebirth, vulnerability, secrecy, co-mingling of resources (connection),
and sexuality are some of the key descriptions associated with Scorpio.
Bringing a theme of intensity that gets down and dirty.
Saturn
entering Scorpio’s realm immediately challenges control and power. Showing us
the box we have built in the name of fear and summoning us to break free from
its limitations. The key during this time is to accept the restrictions placed
upon you by Saturn’s energy by giving up the control that Scorpio so
desperately hangs on to in the name of invulnerability. Saturn in Scorpio
teaches “restriction” is the letting go. In other words, surrender to what you
cannot control.
It
is also a phase of maturity that Scorpio must face. An opportunity for us to
take a look at our personal underworld and be responsible for clearing out what
no longer serves us and use our power wisely. With a Saturn cycle we are asked
to examine our deepest inadequacies and transform them into strength and
mastery moving towards maturity and growth.
The
transformational nature and emotional drive of Scorpio wants to feel deeply and
intimately, not only sexually but also on every level. Saturn examines
Scorpio’s Pandora’s box of unspoken desires and sober realities forcing us to
wake up from the dream we have structured our lives around.
So
prepare yourselves for a journey into the underworld, be open minded and
willing to accept your limitations regardless of how uncomfortable you
become. You will be asked to let
go of the “dead bodies” of your past, face your most hidden fears and die only
to be reborn again.
I've read this post several times now and it always gives me goosebumps! Excitement for what lies ahead, confronting/facing my fears, and leaving the past behind. It is a great message!
