This in terms of forecasting means that in general terms the long term game has shifted.
Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius and Leo–this means that Saturn, starting direct will have a very challenging aura. Fixed ideas must change, stubbornness has to be abandoned for the moment. The concept of measurement, judgment, dealing with authority, confronting weaknesses, looking at the true foundations you have been leaning on and what you will have to tear down to get more stability in certain areas.
Thus, for Fixed signs this is the time to look inside and find that one important aspect of anyone who wants to deal with the vicissitudes of this life, this journey through the challenges of our natal map and the instinctive, yet has to be used feature of every person’s evolution, THE HUMAN WILL.
The human will is that cognitive function that is truly the source of any concept of free will that man has. And while some might argue that even will power is determined by the natal map, it seems to me that with hundreds, if not thousands of people with almost the same chart because born on the same day, sure the ascendent shifts the moon moves, but essentially the big aspects of Mercury on out are set in a daily degree.
Thus this forecast is for the human will of all fixed sign to be challenged by the tests of Saturn.
Water signs Cancer and Pisces will enjoy the trines of Saturn which usually brings the advancement of having ideas, and concepts of the life journey rewarded with concrete results. This is not to say that it is an easy go all the way around, but is a more tempered form of the usual Saturnine moments. Remember sometimes the good coach’s training will reward the team, there will be payoffs from all the good hard work in the past.
Cardinal signs Libra and Capricorn will benefit from the Saturn sextile, one of the most underestimated aspects. It is opportunity, the suddenly opening when the pulling guard knocks out the tight end and the ball carrier (you) can slip through the line and have opportunities at open field skills. And in the open field, once through the line, once having taken the ball, having seen the hole, knowing how to slip through and take advantage–then there has to be a good yardage gain. Achievement is possible, even great achievement.
For Gemini and Aries, the problem of the future with Saturn direct in Scorpio is the terror of the quincunx . This means learning new skills, even though the definition of what those new skills might be. Yes, to learn to know what has to be learned, to face ambiguity in the eyes and look around, only knowing that you have to suspend the agony of not knowing for the spirit of the quest. Everyone talks about the spirit of the quest. But in this situation, the first goal is to look for a goal, a process that is out there, but you have to find it. For Geminis it is learning more and deeper roots of knowledge to teach them the next step. For Aries it is to slow down and look for those elements of the quest which give greater patience and a more true expression of your drive and desire to be a competitive person in a situation that is so frustrating that it may seem like a tar pit. However the rewards are there. Geminis and Aries must read the book “Who Moved my Cheese” by Spencer Johnson, MD. The key is to find new cheese.
