Saturn goes direct at 7:52pm Eastern tonight, this should be favorable

[Ricochet21]

It's been sitting at 10 Libra for what seems like forever. Now, it moves forward. Not only will it shift many aspects for many of us, but symbolically, we'll not be held up any longer. It's time to GET ON WITH OUR PLANS. Quite naturally. I wish you all good fortune for this time.

Archetypally, since Saturn has mostly been playing the role of handle to the large bucket pattern of the other 10 planets, this is kind of like our "boss" is easing up on everyone and saying, go do your thing.

Progress is expected for most of us especially in areas where relationships are concerned (Libra). Libra is famous for fence-sitting, this should help us ease off of the fence and favor one side or the other. Also, Saturn exalted in Libra has been trying to play fair with everyone, bi-partisan, it's moving now, I think you'll see the end of that illusion.

Other planets don't "like" when Saturn moves. He's bossy and rules with a firm hand (which is exactly what they want to do too!)

So, it should be good, look for congested situations in your life to start to break up and move forward.

Good luck to you all :hi:

1. This is good news

I have been waiting on a friend ( Libra ) with a business deal. She has just gone dark.
Love her but then patience is one thing and moving forward is another.
Could this be why she is so bottled up?
I still need to call you Rick. But this is good to hear.

[Ricochet21]

3. No, this is probably not why she is bottled up

Probably a Saturn issue in her natal chart but it can be many, many things. Too hard to speculate. Good luck. :hi:

[kimmerspixelated]

2. Wow, just wonderful.

This is it, isn't it??

We shall be released and put on the loading dock.

Just the last few days, since I have been dreading certain major conversations, I have noticed the shift from the exasperating feeling of doomed dread, to well, let's move on with it!

You Exquisite Nail-hitter you!:hug: :fistbump:

[Ricochet21]

4. You know Kimm, I don't know if it's "it",

but it one of the "its" yes.
Go with that thaing!! So many Its floating around.

:popcorn:

[kimmerspixelated]

5. Heh! Well, it just feels so right,

I feel like everything predicted in all the past six months, all the big movements were the push-es,(get ready for it) and this is the moment of, ...spotlight, limelight, lovelight, and our selves, our souls, are actually in a position of grabbing the THING we want,embracing it, courting it, getting dressed up for the smoking hot date of Life!

The major gentleman caller of life is knocking at your door waiting on the veranda!

Or Sump-in like dat! HAHAHA!

[Saokymo]

6. It's about time

Been feeling really pent-up the last couple weeks. Hopefully this will get things moving in the right direction for us all. (I know I'd most certainly enjoy a change on the relationship front! XP)

[BlueIris]

7. Hee hee. One thing I like about Saturn direct...the "good bosses" step up.

Prepare to be rid of the slackers in your work place, the power and authority abusers, the spiraling-off-track types, etc. Those interested in using their authority for a serious purpose will have the upper hand now.

Beware, Bad Politicos. Your time is up.

[teenagebambam]

8. Thank goodness.

Have a power abuser who looks like will get his comeuppance this week!

[elleng]

9. Sure hope so, Ric; been waiting FOREVER for progress.

Thanks.

:hi:

[Dora]

10. Goodness, I am glad to know of this

Tomorrow is my divorce hearing. This transit could not have happened at a more opportune time. I'm so glad I checked in here today to see what's happening! Bless you, Rick!

[lildreamer316]

11. Best of luck tomorrow, Dora.

I'll be thinking about you...

[Ricochet21]

17. Best of luck, Dora! nt

[eilen]

12. I hope this means we will be hearing less about Weiner

and party bosses calling for his head.

[Proud_Lefty]

13. Amen to that

When a democrat is caught up in a sex scandal, even a legal, consensual one, our wonderful MSM is all over it. But when a republican is involved in an illegal one, even one involving young boys, it disappears from the MSM very quickly, never to be spoken of again. And if a republican does something illegal that causes millions of lives and livelihood, that's not spoken of at all. I am beyond sick and tired of it. When are people going to think for themselves?

[Mist]

14. Glad to hear this--I've been weirdly sluggish in many areas of my life. nt

[Blasphemer]

15. Thank goodness

Can't wait for it to be off my Venus!

[Ricochet21]

18. What productive things

has it done on your Venus?

[Blasphemer]

21. Well...

It's hard to view certain things as productive at the moment (but perhaps that will come in time) but it has eliminated a relationship that at least other people felt needed to be cleansed from my life. It's testing many other relationships and I'm still not quite sure which will survive and which won't. It's also brought some other relationships back into my life that are being tested for their ability to become fixtures in my life again.

[FirstLight]

16. Last week was hard, will this week be easier?

Just felt so "whomped' last week... tried to get some real accomplishments done, but by wed i was just too heavy to do any of it. I felt like giving up.

Now this week I am trying to get back on the horse. Yesterday was really emotional, and I can;t even pinpoint the triggers, just felt hopeless, useless, and embarassed for my own weaknesses....

Is the forward movement going to help? will I be able to get out of my own "la brea tar-pit" ...?

[Ricochet21]

19. I have no idea what you will or won't be able to do

but, in general, it should help you move forward esp since it's your ruler.

good luck :hi:

[FirstLight]

20. thanks rick...

:hug:

Is saturn the "heavy" that has been lingering? feels very weighty to me...

also, i guess since it is in Libra, that should be helpful too, since I have such a Libra influence as well going for me...

Onward & upward! ;)

[Habibi]

22. I've got a pile of sh*t coming up

with a very difficult person in my life. I'm planning to get away from this person, and it ain't gonna be pretty. So this is heartening.

[Ricochet21]

23. Good for you Hab

Your chart looks good for this. I know the story and am very happy for you. Watch for heavy guilt trips sent your way. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Congratulations on your freedom!
:hi:

[Habibi]

25. Thanks, Rick. "Difficult Person" will have to wise up or suffer the

consequences. We still want to to help, but not at the heavy cost we've already paid. And guilt be damned.

[dflprincess]

24. So, Libra is my ascendant

and my natal chart has Saturn in Libra at 20.

I don't know if this is enough information for you but any idea on how this will affect me? I've been going through a rough time so I'm hoping Saturn going direct may help.

[Ricochet21]

26. Sorry dfl

I would need your whole birth info if you'd like to pm it to me

:hi:

[dflprincess]

38. Thank you!

I have sent you a PM.

[Avalux]

27. Can Saturn direct be bad for some people?

I was reading that there are those who operate quite well under Saturn retro and when the big guy goes direct, all falls apart for them. There wasn't an explanation why....

Does that make sense and why would some people be affected this way?

[Sanity Claws]

28. Great question!

At least to a novice in astrology like me.

[Ricochet21]

29. It makes no sense to me

When a planet changes direction, it is either buying you more time (Rx), or times up, time to act.
When we "fail" during a Saturn direct it usually means that the person has been avoiding responsibility in the area of their chart
where Saturn is at. They know it too, they've been "told"... one day......

So, there is no general rule. There's doing what you need to do vs not.

My humble opinion

Hope that helps
:hi:

[Avalux]

31. That helps tremendously, thank you!

I've been reading about my planets/houses and what it means to me personally. Saturn is in my 10th house in my birth chart; so I guess I should be happy he's direct again so I can get some things done at work; was feeling quite stagnant and stuck with my job. I'm probably over-simplifying because I know other aspects need to be considered, but is this close?

[Ricochet21]

33. Yes, Saturn's best place in a natal chart is in the 10th..... nt

[Sanity Claws]

32. What if Saturn is retro in your natal chart?

I know Mercury retro does not affect me as badly as others because I was born during a Mercury retro, or so I've been told. (I'm also a Gemini and Mercury is my ruler.)
Why shouldn't the same rule apply to Saturn? An inquiring gemini mind wants to know. :)

[Ricochet21]

34. The major planets

go forward for 7 mos, and backward for 5

Being born with Saturn Rx is quite common. It CAN be problematic because in about 66% of the clients I've interviewed, it represents a father who was distant, the native didn't bond with the father. Some rare types, this can represent the mother.

:hi:

[Delphinus]

36. Rick,

that is fascinating about Saturn Rx and the distant fathers. I just looked at mine and my son's, both of us have that, and both of us had that same issue. Thanks for all you share! :hi:

[Ricochet21]

39. Yes

it doesn't mean that they were mean per se. Many times the man was busy at work, nonemotional, off to war, or simply taciturn.

[elleng]

30. Ric and all, it looks like PROGRESS!

JUST received message from my attorney, who received SIGNED Consent Order from 'husb.' We'd sent to him in November, he's aggravated us ever since, we've recently proposed modifications, but it may be IT, short of presenting it to Court!

edit to clarify: Have been separated since '06, in Court against him for Settlement Order for 2+ years as he sold our house and has been sitting on all the proceeds, which amounts to my nest egg. I'm living on Fed Pension + SS.

Please note different Post by me, earlier today, re: me and daughters. NOT good news, would LOVE some advice as want to respond to messages from daughter #1 shortly.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

E

And tonight's the FUll Moon, ain't it???

[Ricochet21]

35. Make that an eclipse

good news re: ex, I hope it comes thru for you!
I wanna party! :party:

[elleng]

37. Ditto! Got some wine!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. Had the discipline to sit down and practice the piano tonight.

I got out my old childhood friends, Waltzes and Preludes by Frederic Chopin.

I love it, I should not put off practicing. I always have loved practicing.

[Sweet Freedom]

41. No progress

:(

In fact, it feels like I went backwards. And I hate full moons; they always get me emotionally, so today stinks. :thumbsdown:

(I'm gonna go sulk now.)

[murielm99]

42. We are making progress on our house, and the

progress is sudden. The TV room is finished. It had carpet with actual holes in it.

We have the windows in the living and dining rooms replaced now, and a new window seat in place in the bay window. We were losing a ton of money in heating bills through these leaky old windows. We have to refinish some hardwood floors next.

I had envisioned doing the least expensive things first, and thinking hard about the kitchen. Yesterday, our carpenter, a very skilled man, brought pictures of some of the kitchens he has redone. I thought we were not close to being able to afford it. My husband thinks we may be able to do it sooner. We have to go over some things to see how the finances look. Maybe before the end of the year!

You have no idea how bad this kitchen has become. It really needs a renovation.

All this is because we hope to move. If we have to stay because things are not selling in our area, we can stay and enjoy the changes. I am not going to push hard for anything, or make rash decisions. It seems like these things are falling into place, both time-wise and financially, when I take a less aggressive approach.

[Sweet Freedom]

43. Well, the relationship I had hoped for is a definite no-go

:cry:

Not sure where the progress is, but maybe I'll see it later.

[FirstLight]

45. progress takes many forms

sorry to hear you're heart hurts...
:hug:

[Sweet Freedom]

46. Thank you

Apparently, I have an amazing ability to pick men who "totally love" me and think I am "completely awesome", yet don't want to date me. :shrug:

Sad thing is, years ago, I made a list of what I wanted from a partner. This guy was everything I asked for. :(

[Blasphemer]

47. I'm the same boat Sweet Freedom

In my case, he was everything I never even knew I wanted. Somehow despite being "perfect" and "amazing", he never wanted to go beyond friendship with me. On the flip side, the ones that do want me are not worthy (not because of high standards, not worthy by any standards) of dating.

Anyway... you aren't alone :hug:

[FirstLight]

44. the last three or four days i've had a case of 'the lazies'

can't really motivate for nothin'...got laundry to finish, yard work screaming my name, and regular desk work to catch up on.

seems like even my best intentions go to the wayside, i end up wanting to crawl in bed by noon and hide

like sleeping is my escape, but why do i need to escape when there's so much to DO! and I should be excited to accomplish things!

:wtf:

[Why Syzygy]

48. I wonder..

Do you think the medicine you take could have a side effect causing fatigue?
From what you've written about it, it sounds like a powerful drug.

[FirstLight]

49. possibly

Enbrel... probably does have that effect because it kills the immune system. but i have gotten down to one shot a week, rather than two...soon i can go to one every 2 weeks...

meanwhile, i think it's depression and boredom...unemployment tends to wear you down, too
