If you have planets in the Fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius) Jupiter’s wrap-up in Taurus has left you with more in at least one area of your life.
Jupiter’s transit of Taurus formed an opposition to Scorpio and squared Leo/Aquarius. So between June 2011 and today, all of you with planets or angles in these signs were hit with an increase of opportunities, perspective, possibilities or chutzpah. And it was a big increase…impossible to miss. Check out the area(s) of your chart occupied by those signs; growth occurred, guaranteed.
I hope you guys enjoyed it and made use of it. Seriously. Because as of October 5th, Saturn’s transit of Scorpio will be cracking the whip over all your heads. Saturn will oppose Taurus and square Leo/Aquarius. Your gains will be trimmed, tidied and strengthened as Saturn moves over the same degrees that Jupiter did. This does not mean that everything you gained will be taken away. It does mean that your growth will be tested.
New job courtesy of Jupiter? Saturn will make you work to prove your mettle. Pay increase? Figure out ways to trim your budget; Saturn will throw some serious expenses your way. New relationship? Saturn’s transit could introduce your first major challenge as a couple. All this is just a way to ensure that what you’ve got is worth hanging on to.
Use the time between now and October 5th to plan your strategy.
Saturn moves out into my 7th this fall. My 7th house has many Scorpio energy (Sun, Mercury, Uranus, Juno, Vesta, and Parts of Fortune). I have always been single so I am wondering if this means that I could expect another 2+ years of cultivating myself (but, that sounds more like a 1st house thing).
Jupiter is moving into my second house any day now. My moon in Gemini rests there (the house is also in Gemini). Does this affect my experience of Saturn?
Sometimes Saturn into the 7th can bring one relationship with a lot of responsibility attached; I’ve seen it happen. But you have to check the other transits and progressions to see if they concur. Jupiter over your Moon will give you the emotional boost needed to deal with Saturn’s responsibilities. Plus, Jupiter in your 2nd will draw more security (even if it’s just financial it will still make you feel good).
That sounds heavenly (the Jupiter in the 2nd part). I’m starting a transit journal so I can see how events in my life align with the stars.
Great idea…transits make much sense when you can see them all together.
So I first read this and thought “oh, this doesn’t apply to me, I don’t have any planets in those signs”. But then I pulled up my chart and saw: Chiron in Taurus in the 2nd, Mercury in Leo in the 6th, Uranus in Scorpio in the 8th, my ascendant in Aquarius. So, I repealed my original thought. This past year has shown a new job, a new perspective on love, the death of my older, not as emotionally healthy self, and the rebirth of the newer, better me. So I guess this does apply to me! But I’m not afraid of you Saturn (that’s not true).
How does your Uranus in Scorpio in the 8th manifest? I have the same placement and it is in my 7th house, too!
We have had similar changes! And, I feel you on your Saturn attitude! Lol!
my sun and merc in 9th house cancer was opposed by pluto at 0′ cap and now opposing my 8′ merc, and pluto in virgo which just got a blast of marsian passion whilste having my chiron return, moon and asc in libra being disciplined into shape by saturn, the rest of my planets are in those signs. I am a medium, spritual healer and philosopher, after havin tried to ignore my natural strengths/gifts to be acceptable to my family and the masc world (yep natal sun and saturn quincux) Jupiter through taurus, gave huge challenging opportunity to walk my talk, honour my spirit.
I pretty much lost everything left that had been built on trained belief , a place to live, a place to work, a vehicle, a relation ship with family of birth. All at this point gone. Yes it has been devestating and traumatic and i wonder how i have survived, but once i worked through the grief, I saw what I have been given, FREEDOM and only people who are kind, respectful, honest and trustworthy. I have faith I will gradually be given opportunities that I need to build a totally new life, as the real me, on solid foundations, with emotional maturity, no delusions, simply as the master rather than the slave to my fears
Excellent attitude. Once Saturn moves into Scorpio it will form a nice trine to your Cancer Sun and Mercury…very stabilizing.
Thanks Nadia
Just looked at my progressed chart and my sun is in scorpio. I have just survived my saturn return with a sun sign in Libra, so I suspect a few more years of saturn lessons?
When Saturn passes over your progressed Sun…yes. But you may not feel it as overtly as a Saturn transit to your natal Sun.
I’ve got a nice t-square with Venus at 10 Taurus right on the Mc, square Saturn at 10 Aqu in the 6th, and Neptune at 12 Scorp in the 4th. I did not feel any gain, that’s for sure. Work got much slower, my health got worse, and my Dad got really sick. He’s doing better now though…we hope. Maybe Saturn will bring me something positive!
Jupiter does emphasize what’s already in the natal chart; so the existing potential for your father’s ill health and your ill health (Saturn in the 6th) was triggered (the MC represents the Father). Not all of Jupiter’s increases are positive.
Oh dear. I have my Merc, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and my Midheaven all in Leo, while my Rising and Pluto are in Scorpio. I’m going to assume that this means that this time up until October is going to be complete and utter Hell?
No, not at all. I’m not sure why you would come to that conclusion? The time from now until October will be a chance to plan before Saturn hits.
Hello….I’m very new to the in-depth details of astrology lol, but I am very aware of the future transit of Saturn to Scorpio (Slightly scared, but optimistic lol). I have Sun, Asc, Mercury, and Saturn? all in Scorpio I’m not sure of the houses and degrees. If you need more info on my chart specifics to give better insight I’d be more than willing
My question is how should I better prepare for this event? I will be turning 29 and have had MANY changes already in the past 8mth (relationships financial). Thank you!
Your Saturn Return is coming up (transiting Saturn conjunct natal Saturn). Big turning point…best way to prepare is to focus on what you need to let go of (what’s unrealistic) and what dreams/goals you can carry with you into the future.
I’m cancer sun, taurus rising. My 7th house in scorpio also has uranus. And with saturn on the way, I don’t know what to expect. Right now I am getting divorced – that’s uranus right? My ex has a capricorn sun, scorpio rising. Should I be worried? How do I prepare for saturn?
Uranus can represent divorce. I can’t say what will happen because I’d need to analyze your chart. As for preparing for Saturn’s transit of your 7th House…it will finalize the divorce. Just prepare to let go, because Saturn does represent endings. If you’re worried about money, you need to look at transits/progressions to your 8th House (shared finances).
Thank you Nadia. I am rather worried about money at this point. My natal chart shows neptune in saggitarius in the 8th house. I don’t know what transits/progressions are taking place. Could you help?
All I can say is that joint finances (taxes, debts, inheritances, your partner’s finances) will be unsettled.
Hi Nadia. I am scared to death of how this divorce is going to change my life although I know its the right thing for me. Would it be possible to analyze my chart? I would be eternally grateful.

Sorry, I don’t do free chart analysis. Please visit my Astrology Reports page to order a consultation.
Holy moly. My Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto are in Scorpio. My Moon is in Leo. My Mars is in Aquarius.
7 planets affected by Saturn, it’s going to be a wonderful 2 years *sigh*
You’ll certainly feel Saturn’s focus. You’ll become very aware of what matters and what doesn’t.
Or…6 planets…(whoops). Neptune in Capricorn will receive a nice sextile and Jupiter in Pisces will receive a nice trine. I guess I can look forward to that.
The trine to Jupiter will be beneficial. I’ll be writing a post in the next few days on how planets in Pisces/Cancer will actually enjoy this Saturn transit, so watch for that.
hi im a taurus born 6 may 1979 at 1.30 am…was wondering how saturn might affect my relationships…currently single and looking…
I am a Sag with a Sag rising… virgo moon..saturn in 12th house..I have just started a masters and on my way to a PhD (hopefully)
Apparently is good to have Saturn in this house for studies? Not looking forward to 2015 when I am will have it double….
All was so hard up until today that I am seriously worried.
Any thoughts?
Saturn through the 12th can bring solitude (because it is a time of letting go and ending things), which is why you might have heard it’s good for studies. I don’t know that this particular transit will help your studies, but if Saturn is making any aspects to your other planets it will be good for discipline.
i have Scorpio rising Taurus sun and Taurus Saturn both in 7th house .After Saturn in Libra crossed over my natal Venus in Aries last two and a half im a little leary of any new couplings tho many astro doctors swear ill be gettin hitched … Im to damn afraid …
Other astrologers say you’ll be getting hitched? I assume it’s because Saturn will be opposing your 7th House Sun? That doesn’t always indicate a marriage…
