Transit Aspects

Astrological transits are a part of what is usually called predictive astrology, the claim of astrology to predict or forecast future trends and developments. Most astrologers nowadays regard the term 'prediction' as something of a misnomer, as modern astrology does not claim to directly predict future events as such. Instead it is claimed that an astrological pattern with regard to the future can correspond with any one of a variety of possibilities. What is in fact foretold is the trend of circumstances and the nature of the individual's reaction to the situation

Saturn Transits

Saturn transits have been feared for centuries. The superficial reading is that they bring all sorts of calamities. In fact, they bring dissatisfaction and a desire for change. Ages ago, however, who could change? People were bound to the same routine year after year. When necessary changes aren?t made, Saturn transits tend to force them. This, to ancient peoples, was regarded as disaster. What Saturn transits really do is bring things to a conclusion. One cycle ends and another begins. And yes, these transits are associated with ?Murphy?s Law?, if something can go wrong, it will. Suppose you are burning your candle at both ends. Saturn comes around and you get sick. Bad luck? No, just the results of the bad actions that you chose. Saturn transits simply tend to bring us the results of our actions, for better or worse. But if you have dotted all the i?s and crossed all the T?s, and took care of everything, Saturn transits can also bring rewards. If you have no loose ends in your life, Saturn will have nothing to chop off. Astrologer Noel Tyl, for instance, mentions a case of someone he knew who got a scholarship to study music in Europe when Saturn was making an opposition aspect to his Sun. He had to work long and hard to get it, and he would have to continue to work because the grant was dependent on his grades. A gift of money from Saturn, but there are always strings attached: hard work, effort, and discipline. The best way to handle Saturn transits is to look way ahead and see when they are coming. Will Saturn be going through your 2nd House (money) next year? Better start saving right now to make sure that you have reserve cash. Perhaps Saturn is headed for your 6th House (work). This could mean extra demands on the job. It could even mean no job. Update your resume, just in case. Yes, Saturn periods can be hard, but if you handle them right, the rewards you get are solid and long-lasting.

You will be feeling very uneasy and confused during this time. The critical nature of Saturn will be elevated and bound by the unrealistic ideals of Neptune. This may make you extremely self-critical and leaves you feeling depressed that you cannot live up to standards that are not based. This behavior is entirely unjustified but will seem to make perfect sense to you as Neptune will warp your own perspective in negative ways. You may also have feelings of guilt, doubt and denial and the best thing to remember is all is not what it seems. In general, what is happening is you are undergoing a great internal shift of perspective that will enable you to see things in a new and brighter way in the future. Reflection during this time on your past ambitions and goals is important as well as your own identity and role in life. If you can take time off work and responsibilities to go into seclusion from which you could benefit greatly this time. Avoid going to spiritual retreats as this could lead you in a wrong direction as your sense of self will be more delusional. Try to do a little as possible and maintain some routines to ensure that you know where your boundaries lie. When the dust begins to settle you will realize profound insights about your own innate nature and of those around you which could help you greatly in the future.
