The Teacher Has Arrived - Saturn Has Taken Up Residence in Libra

By Gilbert Karlis


A professional astrology group I belong to initiated a discussion thread on the entrance of Saturn into Libra and there were numerous intriguing contributions from around the world. I am just as interested as any other astrologer from the general and personal applications of the long-term entire world changing signs and what that may possibly mean to our unfolding lives and it is often fun to look in the eyes of one more astrologer to see a different perspective. I chose a somewhat different route for my unique contribution towards subject and idea it might be intriguing as being a general read. As a result of my newest research project I were focused on political astrology and also the USA region pattern so which will contribute to my various route.



The United States (USA) in particular as well as the globe in general had been recently devastated economically by the Saturn and Uranus opposition that may be currently in play and it does not matter that Saturn will alter signs for component of this process. Standard orb of effect will render that is a still-active aspect whether Saturn is in Virgo or in Libra. Saturn and Uranus have five definite aspects (oppositions) over 21 months, of which we now have completed three. The whole of this pattern will likely be finished at the end of July 2010. We now have been and currently are reeling under the impact of conformity versus transform in our politics. Thank goodness the end of that pattern is at least in sight, only several months off. I am aware on the world wide economic impact, but this kind of a tremendous physique of info would must be designed on somebody nation basis which is just not possible in this article. I'll concentrate on a USA effect due to the fact which is what I realize best. I hope other astrologers will apply these concepts I am about to outline to other nations and experiences.

I desire to focus for your moment on Saturn moving out of Virgo and therefore the Virgo/Pisces axis and into Libra (an ingress) for 3 certain connections: October 29, 2009 direct, retrograding back into Virgo April 7, 2010 for about 3 months after which Saturn moves solidly back into Libra July 21, 2010 (ingress) to go on and complete its passage via Libra over the following two years. Think from the 3-month return to Virgo as if you had been returning to an old property to finish up the details of closing that episode within your life. The new episode is Saturn in Libra. To me inside a several stage activation for instance this, the stage is set from the first pass, conclusion is reached of the final pass, and also the retrograde pass from the middle although part of the program tends being quite powerful at times, maybe even pivotal on the overall impact from the experience. Again, that always overlooked middle passage might be an real pivot factor in whatever system is getting mapped. Due to my search it is important to issue out one more impact issue in this nine-month passage commonly overlooked in determining the key days within this sort of a multiple pass and which is the heliocentric date of ingress.

Using the American Heliocentric Ephemeris that lists outer planet positions every 5 days, the date of heliocentric Saturn's ingress into Libra, which can only come once in a complete 29-year orbit is February 12, 2010 and is an aspect generally ignored. In my long years of astrological study and process I have deemed it being both as essential as any geocentric ingress. At times within the procedure of astrology something hits an event at this kind of an odd time in the unfolding of a pattern how the trigger of that odd timing can also be difficult to see -- take into account this being a capability solution. Just due to the fact a date isn't provided from a geocentric aspect, it is even now valid; after all, heliocentric (Sun inside the center) could be the map of truth and geocentric (Earth from the center) stands out as the map of our personal perspective. Let us use an example.

In the current Saturn/Uranus opposition, you can find five passes that is certainly normal for ones opposition phase. Geocentrically, the 3rd and middle pass was on September 15th 2009. Heliocentrically the single date of exactitude was September Very first 2009. The beneficial debate within the USA at that time centered on wellness care reform. It is not tough to determine the battle among conformity and change, a colossal tug of war between two planetary giants. The battle truly started on Election Day 2008, made its second pass within 2 weeks of Inauguration Day (January 20, 2009), and we recently experienced the middle and to me pivotal passage in the very first 2 weeks of September 2009. It just so happened that the geocentric middle and also the heliocentric exactitude have been only 2 weeks apart placing double emphasis on that time period.

This illustrates a tense time frame, nearly surreal in nature (if you watched any television news during that time) from the release of the real Senate Finance Committee bill on September 16th. My very own take on this timing is that decisions were created as on the final content from the bill on September 1st, with the minutia (details) worked out more than the following a couple of weeks. Why? Mainly because heliocentric may be the reality in the energy (concept) and geocentric is how it affects us the following on Earth (personal perspective): the idea in form and manifestation. It is well-known to first have a idea and then for getting it achieve concrete materiality, an notion typically precedes concrete manifestation. Be aware that you just can do this exercise with any aspect passage, regardless of whether it is a single or several hit passage, Back to Saturn in Libra but very first an additional why -- what will eat so extended for ones bill to go via all its machinations ahead of genuine vote? Chalk it up to any branch of government that operates in the usual bureaucratic nonsense; some of this is actual theater and none of it's accidental.

The outer planets set the overall stage for humanity's lessons. Starting close to Globe War II, very first Neptune traveled through Libra from 1942 to 1957, inspiring, idealizing, disappointing, deluding all things Libra. Uranus traveled through Libra the last time in 1968 to 1975, electrifying, spotlighting, and exploding theories about all elements Libra. Pluto then traveled via Libra from 1971 to 1984 and dug up Libra's psychological basement (I call that rotor rootering) for all elements Libra. The qualities of Libra are extremely well identified but a few keywords would be relationships which in country terms would be alliances, networks, treaties and cooperative ventures, marriage in terms of region by nation practices and laws, the attendant rights on the women of those people countries, which leads to so quite a few issues I couldn't even list them. The theme is relating on the nation level and all the peripheral problems that stem within the theme. It's not possible to cause 1 issue in an astrological complex and not have the complex itself respond. In addition, all things Libra methods across the board, all of it, certain and negative, good, negative and indifferent, all of it! The stirring up of Libra's issues has been heading on because World War II.

Enter Saturn with its difficulties of structure, discipline, order, and responsibility. With everything Libra inside a constant state of chaos because Globe War II as the outer planets stirred up everything they could reach, Saturn very has had its jobs cut out for it. Every 29 years, Saturn dutifully starts its rounds - once again and again -- attempting to create order out of chaos. It would be lovely if the outer planets could leave points alone and allow some structures stay put. Sometimes Saturn follows the chaos produced by the outer planets and is able to structure successfully. Sometimes Saturn leads the chaos and also the structures it manages to put in location get disrupted by one of the outer 3 energies determined to force the changes that encourage progress. Sometimes Saturn cleans up the mess of a single outer world only to be followed by an additional outer globe creating a new mess. Busy, busy, busy. If Saturn leads alter (is additional along inside zodiac), it can get back to this kind of Libra chaos (or any other sign in question) produced by this kind of alter only once its 29-year cycle allows access upon its access (ingress) into Libra. Inside meantime, all issues Libra are inside a land of disarray until Saturn gets there with its broom and dustpan and cleans it up, creates sense out of it and makes the new structure. In which are the outers at that point? Are they ready to initiate a lot more change? Does the structure Saturn puts in place stand a chance of surviving or will it be subjected to yet another level or kind of chaos?

Bear in mind that compared towards the three slow-moving outer plants Saturn takes only 29 many years to accomplish one orbit. If we go back in 29-year increments to 1942 as soon as all this Libra action was set into motion, there was a Saturn geocentric ingress on November 20, 1950 (single pass). Think back on the returning soldiers from Globe War II (the war ended in 1945), occupation on the conquered nations took a bit longer. The women from the USA had filled the men's roles while they have been off doing battle and successfully ran the region for numerous years. The war was over, the soldiers returned home, the women's work had been relinquished to their returning husbands, brothers and sons. The women went back into their homes and kitchens and also a infant boom ensued. These capable women who supported the war and ran the factories and their homes and families at the same time have been relegated to their homes and kitchens with barely a pat on a back. The actual heroes, people who placed their lives on a line for numerous many years resumed their rightful place in society as the assumed head of home and breadwinner. Can you see the possibility of the few issues cropping up here and there in this scenario?

Another cycle forward and Saturn entered Libra (ingress) on September 21, 1980. Ingress simply methods to enter... as in entering or leaving a highway on an entry ramp. Ingress is to enter or "get on" the highway and egress means to exit or "leave" the highway. I remember the 80s well. Everyone remembers the colorful 60s, but the 70s and 80s have been not so shabby as to being colorful as well. Women were coming into their own, slowly but undoubtedly as the generations changed and society slowly changed.

Another thing I would make now is that no a single pays attention on the retrograde end of sign ingress, but it is nevertheless a form of ingress just over a back end of the sign rather than the well-liked front end. With that puzzle in mind, there was a retrograde, end of sign ingress (Scorpio to Libra) on August 13, 1954 and another on May well 6, 1983 (again Scorpio to Libra). I would encourage search on this end of sign ingress possibility so we can determine if it has any actual value. If valid, this notion then should be able to be utilized in all types of prediction. During the USA pattern this would signal economic, financial or importance program activations because natal Saturn is located inside the USA Virgo rising 2nd house.

In any country's natal pattern, there is a natal Saturn by house, sign, degree, and aspect -- Saturn is in a residence and rules (holds influence over) other house(s). Those energies are connected in lock step throughout the existence of that country mainly because that may be an indivisible construct. To result in Saturn is to trigger the construct. Periodically that Saturn is touched, affected, de-structured and then restructured by the natural cycles on the planets as well as other activations. The outer, slow-moving planets set the stage for all of the action involving Saturn and its structuring capacity as well as the faster-moving planets carry out the information of the experience for Saturn. Saturn is informed and changed by experience itself. At the following contact by people outer bodies and their energies, they are filled in on what Saturn learned within the previous passage as they initiate the following lesson plan.
