Good Morning, dear Friends and Readers, I knew I was going to be slow with this series but it’s been a month !! So sorry, the days just seem to roar by…

If you have LIBRA rising, then Saturn in Aquarius is mostly likely moving through your 5th house. The 5th is kids, but also many other things — letting the child in ourselves come out to play, creativity, entertainment and recreation, and doing things with joy and spontaneity the way a child would. A picnic in the park, having pleasure in the moment, is the natural Leo 5th house. What complicates this particular house in that if you have Libra rising, it’s the opposite of Aries, so ALL the houses have their opposite signs on the cusp. This means you may have to work a little harder to bring out the positives and balance everything. Using the 5th as an example, Aquarius is much more about planning for the future, NOT doing things with only pleasure in mind. Ideally, if we are being our best possible version of ourselves, we can find joy in EVERY activity. The 5th is dating and romance, but with Aquarius on the cusp there’s also a strong need to develop a solid friendship and this takes time. That being said, Saturn will be in Aquarius for 2-3 years, so you have time…

Here are some examples of Saturn in Aquarius in the 5th that I’ve observed through the years. You may need to re-define what fun actually means to you. The old activities may not work for you anymore. You may have extra responsibilities for children or young people in your life. The beauty of this one is that Saturn in Aquarius trines Libra, making opportunities so much easier. Young people may need a bit of your wisdom about planning their careers. There may be more than one positive opportunity and they need to weigh the pros and cons of their choices. Taking your time to have these discussions offers you a chance to really build rapport with each other. It’s kind of the same thing with romance — taking your time to really get to know each other as friends will help you decide if you can really build a life together. There may be career glitches, like different schedules, that interfere with social time but this is really a hidden benefit. Remember that Saturn is a symbol for career, as well as responsibilities. Since Aquarius rules technology, connecting with people virtually may play a bigger role than usual. The virus has played a major role in the use of technology.

I saw an interview with the CEO of Khan University (free classes online). He has started a new program that offers tutoring for children. It’s called http://www.school.world. I think that’s it :)) It’s expanding to world wide and whole classrooms are signing up because the children have lost so much — scholastically, emotionally, socially, etc. I know a Mom who was looking for art classes online for her son and she found a free one with a Russian teacher and they did watercolors. There are many other wonderful resources for creativity for all ages. I personally have been watching sewing tutorials on UTube, learning a lot of clever ways to make patterns.

I have a dear friend with Libra rising and she is very much an artist. Any medium she tries is very beautiful. For her, the Aquarius energy has been to find a quilting group and each person makes a square at home. Eventually it will be a whole quilt. Zoom helped her to meet kindred spirits… I think it will be for charity. See how she balanced both the 5th and the 11th ? Find your own unique way to do the same…

If you have VIRGO RISING, then Saturn is moving through your 6th house of health, work and service. The usual is you need to watch your health, but with Jupiter going back and forth in this house, that improves the situation. Still, be very careful to protect your knees, lower legs and ankles (Aquarius) and the usual with Saturn is bones, joints and teeth in general. I was oh so careful not to slip on ice this winter…thank goodness we got through it safely. This transit will be with us next winter and the weather extremes are still continuing, so be careful !! The natural 6th (virgo) rules the intestines, so you may want to eat probiotic foods or take those tablets or powders that help the digestion. Every culture has it’s own version of sauerkraut…

The 6th house is also co-workers, Saturn here may represent a supervisor, or you yourself have increased responsibilities at work. I suppose Saturn in the 6th could mean a lack of a job, but again, with Jupiter here, I doubt it. If anything, I would think it would mean MORE work, and the square to Uranus in the 9th could symbolize some long distance challenges. For example, long distance challenges could mean information coming from a distance changes on almost a daily basis and policies need to be clarified. Maybe it means Zoom meetings at awkward hours due to time zones. The Aquarius in the 6th emphasizes the importance of teamwork and good morale. Expressing empathy can be important but at the same time don’t get too personal at work.

The 6th house also rules who YOU hire. I would be quite cautious about hiring workmen from a large company who is headquartered at a distance from where you live. I knew someone who used a national company to get new windows, but the communication was so garbled between the main office and the local branch that it took months before things were sorted out and completed. Of course, the virus made things difficult, too. You can look on Yelp for local reviews. There are also social media sites that will help you with estimates on what things should cost. If you are buying a new computer for work, consider getting an extended warranty…

The 6th house also rules small pets, small dogs, cats, poultry, and various other birds. The veterinarians have pretty strict rules these days because of the virus. And medical for your pet can cost a lot. Be aware of this and consider pet medical insurance, depending on your situation. Of course, you may need to look into your OWN insurance first — medical, dental, etc. If you pay attention to good nutrition and hygiene, and do some gentle exercise, you should get through this long Saturn transit ok. Saturn is about taking responsibility and in the 6th it means be responsible for your own good health. We have talked about taking responsibility on the physical level, but don’t forget the emotional and spiritual level, too. I allowed myself to get really angry for about 4 hours last fall and immediately got a sinus infection. Taught me a very good lesson. Negative emotions WILL manifest. Eliminate them. Work with your own thoughts and belief systems to neutralize any fear, doubt, worry, and negativity in general. A daily prayer of gratitude is a wonderful way to start. All successful people do this.

Well, that’s it for now. I will certainly try to get back to you guys sooner rather than later. Just remember that Saturn brings up our weak points for a reason…we’re not getting picked on, it’s too help us strengthen ourselves. You can do it !!! :)) Jenae
