I nearly called this post ‘as one door closes, another door opens’, because things are certainly in transition at the moment.
Saturn stations direct on Saturday, August 1 at 28 Scorpio. The holding pattern of Saturn in Scorpio is almost over (Saturn enters Sagittarius on September 18, 2015).
Saturn in Scorpio is formidable. It requires – no, demands – permanent, lasting and profound change. It’s a shape shifting energy that won’t let you leave any stone unturned as you attempt to mine the past and prepare for the future.
You can’t go back and change what happened, but you can resolve to start from today with more honesty, integrity and stability. Set clear limits and be firm about sticking to them. Know the costs. The gambling slogan ‘know your limit and play within it’ comes to mind, especially with money.
Saturn stationing in Scorpio is like a grinding down energy, where rough edges get worn away, but the process of becoming smooth might be at times uncomfortable or even painful. For here in the deepest sign, Scorpio, Saturn applies extreme focus and pressure.

You – or one part of your life – gets re-made now. Like a rough stone polished by the ocean, it’s possible to break entrenched habits and patterns.
Given that Scorpio is a water sign, you’ll have to attend to emotions, both yours and others, along the way.
One chapter is closing as Saturn prepares for his final 6 weeks in Scorpio. It will be another 30 years before Saturn returns to this deep and dark sign and we’ll all be very different people then.
Take this next 6 weeks, until Saturn enters Sagittarius, to re-set your foundations. Clear any lingering baggage – emotional, financial or otherwise – from the past. Lighten you load by taking responsibility, and sticking to your word.
Saturn in Scorpio will be triggered by Jupiter and Venus in Leo during the first week of August showing there is great progress, interaction and possibilities in the coming days.
Saturn always highlights a time of ‘rewards and consequences’. The next 6 weeks can bring the pay off for your efforts over the past 3 years, or it might bring a consequence of something you’ve ignored or neglected. If there’s a niggle inside your heart about something missing or incomplete, acknowledge and act on it.
Based on your sign (read for your rising or ascendant if you know that!), here’s a couple of topics Saturn in Scorpio energises for you:
