Saturn in Capricorn
December 22, 2017 - December 18, 2020

I received another message for the Cardinal Signs about Saturn moving into Capricorn on December 22, around the time of the Solstice. I'm focusing on the Cardinal Signs because you are most affected by the Saturn in Capricorn transit as is anyone with their Sun or Rising Sign in a Cardinal Sign. A Cardinal Sign-Moon also feels this waves of Saturnian energy. I'm also including the previous decade starting in January 2008 when Pluto arrived in Capricorn.

But first, let's go back the fall of  2007. If you have a Capricorn Ascendant then you would have felt the last dregs of Pluto in Sagittarius as intuitive hits or unformed realities. You were still in the womb of the Galactic Center and more than like experiencing prophetic dreams and impulses to relocate, change jobs, or you began looking at unworkable partnerships. This would have been the beginning stages of the destruction Pluto would bring to your life so that you would rebuild your life on more solid ground. And sure enough, when Pluto moved out of the shadow of Capricorn into Capricorn, we experienced the collapse of big banks, problems with Wall Street, and the mortgage crisis which caused the economy to go into a recession.

Now, any of you following politics from that time period, remember that President Obama came into office the following year and he had a huge mess on his hands. Although the opposite party, the Republicans bailed out the big banks, Wall Street, and this launched the beginning of homelessness for people who were otherwise unlikely to ever live in shelters, cars, or go on public subsidies. Houses were repossessed by banks, homeowners entered the rental market causing more demand for rental housing which caused landlords to raise the rent. Meanwhile, new minimum wage jobs were created and more foreigners move to US cities where they grabbed the higher paying jobs with high-tech companies (causing further unemployment). But I'm not going to get into politics here.

Ten years later, Saturn moves into Capricorn. Saturn is a different animal than Pluto. Saturn rewards and punishes based on a person's maturity (do they learn from life experiences or act like victims never taking responsibility?), integrity, compassion, and leadership skills. Saturn rules loners and people who think they have to climb the mountain alone. Saturn rules elders and aging. It rules skin, bones, teeth and connective tissue. It rules the lower spine and the knees. It rules mentorship and ethics in the business world. Saturn is the age before beauty; age before youth. And those of you going through either a Saturn-Sun opposition, Saturn-Sun conjunction, or a Saturn Return are going to feel like the Universe is testing you. It is. And you require faith (hard now that Saturn has moved out of Sagittarius) and patience (much easier when Saturn is in Capricorn).

While Pluto and then Uranus transiting in Aries beginning in 2011 (dipped into Aries) deconstructed the old structures, Saturn in Capricorn and then later Uranus in Taurus are rebuilding the structure. But first, we must take a good hard and realistic look at the structures currently in place because the old structures are represented metaphorically by an old crumbling church built on the fallow ground. Uranus in Taurus is going to till the new soil, but in an unconventional way since Uranus is unconventional and despises its time in Taurus.

The people most likely to show up as new leaders of the younger communities are the folks born between 1988-90 and a bit after that. The problem is that you have so little confidence in your abilities and some of you are unaware of your leadership skills. But have patience in the rebuilding process and know that what is yours will come to you at just the right time and just the right way. Pay attention to your dreams because they are real and contain important messages for you. Find mentors but don't fall into the lifelong learning education trap where you spend all your time in classrooms and fear engaging with the real world. You have what it takes. Your toes are on the starting line and the pistol to start the race rings out. Get going. We have been waiting for you, not just in this lifetime but for thousands of years. But remember to keep your integrity intact.

Okay, so here is the message I have for each of the Cardinal Signs:

Capricorn: You experience the Saturn-Sun conjunction which could leave you feeling exhausted as if your lifeblood or bone marrow has been sucked right out of you. You need to focus on keeping your connective tissues in healthy shape and also keep your iron levels up because anemia is a possibility as are problems with knees and the lower back. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin K, D, and the minerals magnesium, calcium, zinc, and boron in your diet. I also hear that ingesting hemp oil for your skin is important as is building collagen which gets depleted under Saturn conjunct your Sun Rising Sign.

Cancer: I see a focus on the skin for you. Make sure that you wear sunscreen at least half the time you spend in direct sunlight. You will need to take vitamins D and K, along with boron, magnesium, and calcium. And for all the Cardinal Signs I'm seeing a reduction in sugar and changing over to salt with minerals such as Himalayan salt. Spend time near the ocean, walk barefoot in the sand, and get plenty of purified water as your body requires more cleansing during this Saturn transit. If you find that you are grinding your teeth, drink relaxing teas before bedtime or ask your doctor about herbs for relaxation. And deal with your shadows and projections. Stop trying to mother people because this just brings dysfunctional and infantile people your way. Mother children but not adults who must find their own power in the world.

Cancerians and Capricorns who lost homes during the last decade will either buy a new home during the next three years or decide to go mobile and buy a mobile home or tiny home that travels. You will find new livelihoods that allow you the freedom to roam.

Aries: For you, I see wearing a helmet and using safety equipment while engaging in sports and recreational activities. Broken bones, and a broken jaw and broken teeth are potential for you if you don't practice safety. Bones take longer to knit during this Saturn transit, but you do experience slow and steady progress. It's time for you to mature and take responsibility for your anger and other emotions. It's time to mature and take on a leadership role. Health problems are the face and head, especially with teeth. Saturn brings rewards when you practice patience, take responsibility for your actions (past and current), and act with integrity. Along with Libra, make sure that you keep your electrolytes in balance. And if you are a man, take your zinc.

Libra: You experienced Saturn conjunct Sun from 2009-12 so this prepared the ground for the square you experience with Saturn in Capricorn. In previous years, with Uranus also opposing your Sun or Rising Sign, you experienced the end, often times, a dramatic end, of a partnership. This could have been in the business realm or the personal realm such as a divorce or loss of a business. Some of you lost employment too. And now, you begin a rebuilding process in those areas, but only after you do the emotional work required.

Healthwise, I see problems with kidneys and pancreas if you don't cut back on sugar, drink plenty of purified water, keep your electrolytes in balance and live a balanced lifestyle. Yoga and meditation go well for you. Taking on the weight of the world leads to health complications. Practicing diplomacy and living with integrity bring greater health to you. Eat less acidic foods as they leach calcium from your bones and cause kidney stones. Eat more vegetables and fruits and less meat and sweets. This will also help you to balance the scale when it comes to weight loss. Go easy on cosmetics and cosmetic surgery does not go well. Age with grace by taking better care of your health rather than going under the surgeon's knife (it won't go well during this Saturn transit and especially not when Mars is in Aquarius in 2018).

This is all the information I have for now. This article also refers to anyone who has a cluster of planets in Capricorn or Cancer (Aries and Libra) or planets in the angular houses (1, 4, 7, and 10).
