How will the Saturn transit into Scorpio in October affect other signs?

Question

My husband and I are both Libras, and we've been enduring Saturn's visit in our sign--we've done a lot of growing up in the last couple of years. We're curious to know how Saturn's transit into Scorpio will affect us? My husband has Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Scorpio, and I have Mercury, Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio.

Can anyone give any insight as to how this will affect us? For a little more insight, here are our charts:

Answer 1

but saturn is exalted in libra and libra is your first house so wouldn't this mean that your practical lives benefited directly as a result of this transit? i.e. being stripped of things that bring the illusion of happiness, valuing hard work and redefining what misery means (among other things)? JUST CURIOUS



since saturn will be in your second house i would imagine that you can expect the gradual deterioration of that which supports you (health, property, friends)

Answer 2

Saturn is currently conjunct your natal Sun.

For your husband, Saturn is currently making no aspects to his planets, although it will soon be making the last-contact square his Neptune ... but that is a "generational" aspect, in that it is felt by everyone in his overall age group, and doesn't affect him so much, personally.



You would both have Saturn currently transiting through your 1st house ... BUT ... were you both born at/around Sun-rise? If you got a "sun-rise" (fake) chart done, you would have your Sun sign and your Rising sign being the same in your chart, but it wouldn't be your true chart. Without your birth data, I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is really the case.



The transit of Saturn ONLY affects you when it moves within 4 degrees of making a transit to a natal planet or angle in your chart. It does have some secondary impact on the matters of whatever natal chart it is moving through at the time.



In other words, Transiting Saturn is today at 26:24 Libra (moving retrograde). It will be:

- conjunct anything located between 22:24 Libra and 0:24 Scorpio

- sextile anything located between 22:24 Leo and 0:24 Virgo OR between 22:24 Sag and 0:24 Capricorn

- square anything located between 22:24 Cancer and 0:24 Leo OR between 22:24 Capricorn and 0:24 Aquarius

- trine anything located between 22:24 Gemini and 0:24 Cancer OR between 22:24 Aquarius and 0:24 Pisces

- opposite anything located between 22:24 Aries and 0:24 Gemini



Since Saturn takes 2.5 years to move through an entire sign, the transits of Saturn usually give two periods of influence, covering a span of 1.5 years. The second contact is generally the stronger contact, as well as the times when Saturn is making and aspect AND makes a station (either turning into direct/forward motion, or turning retrograde).

Here's a site that lists the position of planets for every day, as they are at midnight in Greenwich Mean Time (England).

Using this ephemeris, you can find aspects of ALL transiting signs for any person, for a span of 6000 years (which is kinda outside the range of our lifetime, but is useful for curiousity about historical people and events that happened to them).



Cafe astrology has writeups for transits at their site. But the BEST source is a book called "Planets in Transit" by Robert Hand. It is incredibly useful and includes all transiting aspects of all planets, as well as transits through the houses of your natal chart. This book can often be bought online second-hand more cheaply at amazon, alibris, or any of the other "used book" sites.

Answer 3

Have you ever asked yourself why you find things like this so fascinating? The reason, I suspect, is because down inside you feel uncertain and nervous about the future and think these things might help you feel more confident.



But this is precisely why I urge you to put your trust in God alone for the future. As I have often said, predictions like these about the future are almost never on target (or else they are too vague to really mean anything). Why build your life around them or get your guidance from them? They are only a substitute for the guidance you really need—which is from God.



My other concern, however, is one that I hope you will take very seriously. These things may seem innocent and amusing at first—but it's easy to get more and more fascinated with them, and eventually become involved in occult practices that are not from God.



Don't be misled: Occult practices are not from God, but from spiritual forces opposed to God. Instead, put your faith and trust in Christ. When we know Him, we know we are safely in His hands no matter what the future holds. The Bible is right: "When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists ... should not a people inquire of their God?" (Isaiah 8:19).
