On September 2, 2007 slow moving, taciturn Saturn moved into precise Virgo and will stay there until July 21, 2010
Virgo marks a shift from our creative self to an opening up of individual consciousness into its transpersonal responsibilities.
Virgo rules science, medicine, health and healing, engineering, teaching, working for the common good, and aiding the poor and sick through research, development and humanitarian aid programmes.
Virgo has an affinity with three main themes:~
greater understanding,
service, and
healing.
Virgo desires to clearly comprehend in order to better educate, serve, heal, and problem-solve, not for self-gain, but for the upliftment of society.
Virgo does not take information at face value; Virgo requires discrimination, testing, and analysis to draw informed conclusions.
Virgo is the ultimate engineer and a visionary scientist/researcher
Saturn rules fear. Virgo rules clarity, discrimination, and research.
At its best, these could be three years of releasing ignorance and laziness
At its worst, Virgo's penchant for self-doubt, self-criticality, and hypochondria could keep us immobile
What is your choice?
Virgo also rules the human body and its relationship with Earth,
Saturn in Virgo could be a tough taskmaster when it comes to environmental issues.
Saving our planet and its inhabitants from extinction will rank high on the agenda during the Saturn in Virgo years. (Good news IMO)
Saturn in Virgo can help strengthen the global move toward alternative energies throughout 2009 when Jupiter joins Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius.
Virgo realises that each of us has a duty to heal ourselves by reaching out to help others on their healing journey
It is also a good time to get serious about seeking expert attention for symptoms or illnesses.
A symbol for meditation is an old fashioned scythe cutting through a corn field.
Something to consider during this transit is 'where are your metaphorical granaries and what would you like to store in them'?
