The completion on 19th April, 2007 of Saturn's last retrograde through the sign of Leo is the signal for re-examining our recent course of action and also preparing for Saturn's forward motion nearing the end of it's cycle through Leo. This last six months of Saturn's transit through Leo brings about the promise from the beginning of the transit back in August of 2005.
The rule is that the last six months of the Saturn transit brings in the fulfillment of your desires from Saturn's initial intro into Leo. Think back; what were you trying to accomplish at that time? Did you want a new house? Boyfriend? Promotion? Change your career? These are just some of the everyday things that some people look to change in their lives. Your choice can be more intense, depending on Saturn's promise in your birth chart. In the months leading up to our current transits, you may have noticed yourself repeating a situation or two. This is due to the retrograde motion of Saturn. Retrograde means to go backwards. While the planets never really go backwards, they appear as though they do from our standpoint. Saturn is now retrograde and in the throes of the last six months' transit through Leo. How far have you come since August of 2005? Saturn's transit has had the effect of testing the structures you have built in a particular area of your life, as seen through the lens of your horoscope chart.
As I look forward to the next six months, three things stand out.
If you keep a day timer or journal, it will be easy to see the goals you set for yourself. This is where it all starts to happen. It will start with the unexpected changes that come with the Full Moon Eclipse and end with the goals you set with the New Moon Eclipse. This is followed by the direct motion of Saturn in April and finalizes your intentions to further your aspirations. It seems as though we are ready to again take a step forward in our lives. In the past twenty-four months we have slowly but surely moved forward in redefining a particular area in our chart.
Here is a brief outline of the effects on each sign as Saturn turns Direct in Leo. Remember to check the forecast for your rising sign too, for a more balanced reading. To calculate your rising sign, click here.
Â
Aries, the Ram 
Saturn has been transiting your
5th house of creativity and love affairs. Has the relationship with your children, love affairs and entertainment been put to the test lately? One thing is for sure and that is that Saturn never leaves an area of the chart weakened. By the time it is done, you will have a solid foundation to build on for the future.
Â
Taurus, the Bull
Saturn transiting the
4th house awakens home and core issues. This position of Saturn emphasizes your inner foundations, as well as your physical home. You will find yourself trying to reaffirm belief structures that you have built your life on. This can be a little testy.
Â
Gemini, the Twins
Saturn is transiting your
3rd house of communication and community. I find that this transit of the third house redefines how you cover your butt. I have to snicker at that because during this transit it's possible for your job to move, you may need to commute, and brothers and sisters need more attention.
Â
Cancer, the Crab
Saturn has been coursing through your
2nd house of personal finances and love. This is where you decide what you want. This will solidify your personal finances and values. After Saturn is done here you will have a better idea of who you really are and what you desire and/or need.
Â
Leo, the Lion
Leo finds Saturn transiting the
1st house. This is probably the most important transit I can think of. Initially it is all about the new 28 year you are about to enter. The 1st house is the beginning of this great cycle. You will leave all your old emotional and psychological baggage at the door or take it with you for the next 28 years. The choice will be yours. Your personality and how others see you will change as you grow into this next cycle. This is where you start anew.
Â
Virgo, the Virgin
Virgo finds Saturn going through your
12th house of the past and subconscious. You may think this might be a soulful but quiet period, but alas, this is where you are so fed up with the emotional baggage you have been sporting around for so long that you review and relinquish it to the past. This is a time of letting go. It's easier to write than to do, but those are the facts.
Â
Libra, the Scales
Libra, Saturn has been transiting the
11th house for you and redefining friendships, goals and group affiliations. You will find yourself pushing forward with new goals. The possibility of you making new friends or enlisting old friends in your current quest is par for your course.
Â
Scorpio, the Scorpion
Scorpio, with Saturn in your
10th house, making a 90 degree angle to your 1st house, this has not been your easiest couple of years. Career is the center of your life at this time and working hard has been part of it all. You have made some decisions on your current career status and what you want for yourself in the future. The path is clear all you have to do is do it!
Â
Sagittarius, the Archer
Saturn has been mulling around in your
9th house of legal matters, publishing, foreign affairs and philosophy. I like this house, because it is a mental house and requires that you engage in your thoughts. Whatever the subject is, you will be engaged mentally and emotionally. This is you do what you say and not procrastinate. Since this is the prelude to Saturn in the 10th house, you will notice you are climbing to the top of career matters. It is no coincidence that you are on course to achieve a pinnacle.
Â
Capricorn, the Sea-Goat
Saturn is your ruling planet and, when it is found in the
8th house of partnership finances and other people's money, you can be sure your money will be affected. This can be taxes, inherititance, and mortgage money or partnership funds. Mainly it's all about money. This transit solidifies your income from others.
Â
Aquarius, the Water-Bearer
With Saturn transiting your
7th house of marriage, partnership and open confrontation, you may find yourself redefining your needs in your partnerships. This can be a difficult time for some, as it involves another person or persons. During this transit you are apt to rewrite your agreements with others. It is a time of self discovery, where you see your needs change.
Â
Pisces, the Fishes
You will find Saturn transiting your
6th house of everyday work and health. This transit develops a work schedule, or a health schedule that works well for you. It may take a while to figure it out, but nothing happens overnight. We all have 6th house needs and this is where you find out what they are. Next, it's just a small leap to make it happen.
