Thank the stars this full moon (see June 2009 Stars)  at 17 degrees Gemini/Sag

Saturn is currently in Virgo

 squares off Saturn at 17 Virgo. For the first time since Saturn went back direct in mid-May (it had been retrograde since late December) I have felt Saturn’s discipline, structure and (in Virgo) need for routine kicking in. 

This week has been more focussed on health (Virgo rules 6th house of health and routine), going to the gym, eating my veggies and generally paying the piper for 5-6 months of general sloth. And it feels good. There is something about Saturn that makes feel happy that we have boundaries. 

I just hope it lasts. Luckily the 17th degree triggers off some gem/sag points for me, so I think it will. 

How about you? Has Saturn kicked in, started you lusting for broccoli, and gym classes? Have stalled activities, meant to bring some structure and routine to your life, started up again?

Tough chart and one that is just about played out because we have Saturn in Virgo and Jupiter and Pluto moving on from Sagittarius. Sag wants to be free, experiment, all-knowing, sit-around-toking-and-discussing-the-universe. Virgo is quiet and industrious, clean and tidy, service to mankind etc.

Wow, Jupiter, Uranus, Moon, SOUTH node and Neptune in Sagittarius. When there are that many planets around a south node and none around the north node, the person has decided to go back and face demons. Over and over again. Every time she pulls herself out of old bad behaviour, she gets sucked back in. Boundless enthusiasm and energy to keep trying though.

Amy has a Virgo Sun/Mercury (retrograde) square Moon/South Node in Sagittarius. Also in Sag, is Neptune. How she balances both Virgo and Sag I don’t know – Virgo’s need to focus, think clearly, and take pleasure in fixing little things with Sag’s always bored, always seeking more, need for spiritual experiences (probably through sex/love – Mars conjunct Venus (Leo) is trine the other planets in Sag) and through drugs (Neptune). Very tricky. That battle is then articulated through a Gemini North Node – the need to express not the answer, but the journey.

Jupiter and Pluto have both recently passed over these Sag/Virgo hotspots. It would appear to the world as though she was spinning out of control, more drugs, more men, greedy for emotional and spiritual adventures. As Saturn comes into sight, and moves further into Virgo, in the next year or so, she will move into a much more structured environment.

This post is for a friend who like Amy Winehouse.

23:48pm (1:48pm GMT)Saturn leaves Leo and enters Virgo 0deg I’ve had the feeling the last few days that Saturn has been cataloging and filing in preparation for his entry into Virgo. He is collecting data on what certain individuals need to put in place with regards to eating good nutrition, exercising properly and putting structure and routine into place. Sort of Santa, making a list and checking it twice – who’s been naughty and who’s sorted out their daily routines. I suspect I am on Saturn’s hit list. And when Saturn prepares, all the Sun Signs had better make a list too!

As I start this blog, right as Saturn is moving, I feel as though it’s an opportunity to collect and manage my thoughts on paper. Well, sort of paper. Let’s see how it works out.
