Saturn Just Entered Sagittarius

by Robert Wilkinson

At 8:33 am PST, 4:33 pm Greenwich, Saturn entered Sagittarius. This will profoundly affect all of us wherever we have Capricorn or Aquarius planets, as well as the houses with those signs on the cusp. And of course, anyone with planets in Sagittarius will begin to experience a profound restructuring and/or maturation in those “inner Lights.”

This will not be a thorough explanation for what we can expect during the Saturn in Sagittarius era. I’ll do a more extensive article in the near future, after the swirl of holiday posts subsides. Still, given the binding pressure of Scorpio gives way to an open view of larger possibilities in Sagittarius, this should prove a welcome relief from pressure we’ve all felt since October 2012.

The initial venture of Saturn into Sagittarius shows it moving to 5 Sagittarius, where it goes stationary retrograde March 14. It will retrograde back through the first 5 degrees of Sagittarius until June 14-15, when it re-enters Scorpio for the last time in this era. It then goes stationary direct at 29 Scorpio on August 1-2, and our Saturn in Scorpio transit lessons end on September 17-18 when it again re-enters Sagittarius, where it stays through December 19, 2017.

We’ll still be dealing with Scorpio Solar Eclipse effects from those set into motion in 2012, 2013, and 2014 for many months to come. These will be triggered every time a planet moves through Scorpio and triggers those Eclipse points. And of course, since Saturn in Scorpio was a huge player in the 2013 and 2014 Solar Eclipses, you will be reviewing, reusing, restructuring, and renewing that type of Saturn energy for quite a while.

For now, though, we welcome Saturn’s entry into Sagittarius! If you have a planet in Sagittarius, even at the end of the sign, you’ll begin to vibrate to the new Saturn energy visiting that planet. Because of the sign shift, it is square Neptune and novile Pluto, and will make an important binovile with Jupiter that will dominate January and a fantastic tredecile with Jupiter that will dominate February, followed by both Venus and Mars trine Saturn in late February, setting some harmonious and strengthening Fire energies into play.

So face the future, since this will help us learn dominion over our view, our philosophy, and our wider understanding. Those who have a mature spiritual view will find many opportunities to become the author of their own larger destiny, while others will break free of old binding spiritual attitudes and find a greater dance in a greater reality. Saturn in Scorpio may have been great for teaching us how to deal with corrosive or stuck emotional energy, but Saturn in Sagittarius calls us to a more mature understanding of truth, as well as more effective means of communicating that truth!

Because of the nature of Sagittarius, examine your expectancies, and try to see the humor and/or irony in life. This can help crystallize an entirely different view of what we expect, why we expect it, and how to fulfill those expectations. All done with humor and a sense of the absurd, of course! Welcome to Sagittarius!

Happy Holidays!

oh no... it's going to retrograde while conjunct my natal moon? I have had more than any 1 person's fair share of Saturn transits, conjunctions etc....especially in my first house!

my natal moon does sit in tight (less than 1 degree) trine to my natal mercury and my progreased mars has joined them now at 5 Sag....but still.....

in my next life I am going to be born into royalty...and take a break! :)

Always enjoy reading your posts. Regarding planets in Capricorn, what aspect are you referring to?
Merry Christmas.
