Saturn Enters Capricorn

by Robert Wilkinson

At 8:48 pm PST on December 19, 4:48 am GMT December 20, Saturn begins its transit of Capricorn. 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. As Saturn is in its home sign we can expect to exert even more of an authoritative energy than before! Those who have planets in Capricorn will be experiencing a profound restructuring and/or maturation in those “inner Lights” over the next two years.

This will not be a thorough explanation for what we can expect during the Saturn in Capricorn era. I’ll do a more extensive article in the future after the swirl of holiday posts subsides. Still, given the binding pressure of Saturn in Scorpio (2012-2015) gave way to an open view of larger possibilities when Saturn was in Sagittarius (2015-2017), this time of organizing that understanding into forms of effective personal power during Saturn in Capricorn will yield powerful concentrations of power in years to come.

The initial venture of Saturn into Capricorn shows it moving to 10 Capricorn, where it goes stationary retrograde April 17-18. It will retrograde back through the first decan of Capricorn until September 6, when it goes stationary direct at 3 Capricorn. It then moves forward through its shadow zone until mid-December 2018.

Of particular note is that the Sun will conjunct Saturn on the Solstice, followed by Venus conjunct Saturn Christmas day. As you know, these conjunctions fall immediately after the recent New Moon also conjunct Saturn on the Galactic Center. So we have the Mercury conjunct Saturn in Sag on the GC in late November and early December, and Sun and Venus conjunct Saturn on the critical degree of 1 Capricorn also at the Galactic Center!

All of these conjunctions imply that a) Through Mercury direct and retrograde, we have been and continue to get signs and signals about the Sag GC influence, and b), are about to get Solar and Venusian Capricorn GC energies at the Solstice. These recent and current conjunctions with Saturn also set these “year cycles” into motion, so we’ve re-set all the Sag inner planet conjunctions with Saturn from late 2016, and now will experience our Saturn lessons during the next year wherever we have late Sag and early Capricorn, with the backdrop being the Galactic energies that are pouring in through these conjunctions.

So let’s all welcome Saturn’s entry into its home sign of Capricorn! If you have a planet in Capricorn, 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, in the next few days it is just separating from a quintile to Neptune, and is semisquared by Jupiter and septiled by Mars. As Saturn moves farther into Capricorn, it will make a powerful serendipitous tredecile with Uranus by late January that will last through April, and begin the Earth trine with Uranus by mid-May, continuing that very favorable energy for months after.

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, and Saturn in Sagittarius called us to a more mature understanding of truth, as well as more effective means of communicating that truth. Saturn in Capricorn now calls us all to a more effective personal self-expression on our way to Spiritual Adulthood!

Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend

Because Saturn has been important as a stable leg of the Fire trines happening during 2017, as well as the current focus of Venus and the New Moon conjunct Saturn in Sag on the Galactic Center and the Sun and Venus conjunctions with Saturn in Capricorn also on the GC, we are in a time of very powerful galactic energies coming through Saturn’s understanding and mature hand on the helm of our ship of destiny.

Our inner Saturn gives us the power to take command of our lives and destiny. Saturn shows us those things we must master to become spiritual adults and fulfill our purpose for being alive on Earth. By knowing our Saturnian strengths, we can overcome fear and any sense of victimization or powerlessness.

To learn more about your power to master your existence on Earth by making Saturn your friend, please go to the Createspace page and order your copy of Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. The ebook is available through Kindle. Also, I’ve been told people who live overseas get their copy much faster by going through Amazon. And if you would, please write a review on the Amazon site, since the more reviews, the bigger the boost on their site.

It was written for both astrologers and non-astrologers, shows why some things happened when they did. Even those with little or no understanding of astrology will benefit from understanding why they had to make certain choices at crucial times that shaped their lives in profound ways.

Each time you read any section of this book you will find new insights about your power to steer your personal evolution. You will understand how to throw off all the attitudes and memories which have held you back from finding and living the life and purpose. Through your journey of self-discovery, you can find ways to live your life on your own terms, and fulfill your purpose for being alive as an Eternal having human experiences!

Happy Holidays!

Thanks, Robert! I have been wanting a concise explanation of Saturn in Scorpio, Sag & Cap, and you just delivered. As always!

Thank you, Robert! For the past month, I've been feeling the 'relief' somewhat of the end of Saturn in Sag and the beginning of Sag in Capricorn. Since my personal Saturn and Jupiter are conjunct in Capricorn (2 years away from my 2nd Saturn Return), it feels like a 'reward' is coming on some level...As much as I relished the first returns (1990-91), and was able to get a lot of things started and finished over the years, this one feels better.

Thanks for sharing and keeping us on the path to higher conscious/ness/living!!
