Keeping an Eye in the Sky - Astro News with Maria



By Maria Shaw Lawson

We are already hearing from many Scorpio friends and clients, especially those born in late October that Saturn is definitely testing them.

Saturn is called the teacher and karmic taskmaster, astrologically speaking. Whenever he moves into a new sign, which he did earlier this month (From Libra to Scorpio), he moves into a new area of our natal charts, wanting to teach us a new lesson. Usually that lesson is about taking responsibility for something in our lives. Saturn brings us challenges and tests and then rewards us when his visit is over, which will be about 37 months from now. So yes, we'll be in school for a while with Saturn, our teacher. Work hard, no matter what zodiac sign you are, the next three and half years and you will receive many rewards. Slack off, don't do the homework or learn much and life may become difficult.

Saturn in Scorpio is different than Saturn in Libra we have dealt with the past several years. Scorpio drives us to the depths of our soul, to the root of the issue. It breaks life down so it can be rebuilt. Libra wanted us to learn about our relationships. Scorpio wants us to go deeper, to soul level. You will learn what lies beneath the surface in your relationships. Secrets and well as a greater understanding of your life and love come to the surface. Fellow astrologer and Pisces D.K. says it best, and I quote: "The question Saturn in Scorpio will be asking us is, "How can you become the authority of your life if you don't know who you are and what you truly want and need (and fear) on the deepest level of your being?"

Saturn in Scorpio is about getting real.

Any decisions you make in your life or changes between now and November 14th are for real.....they are permanent. You can't take the action back. Be careful of hasty action. You may want to prove a point and teach someone a lesson but don't do it. If you tell your lover it's over and I never want to see you again (between now and mid November), then it's permanent. If you walk off of the job and then decide you made a big mistake and want your job back, you won't be able to get it back. Be careful of taking action now. If you are sure of your actions, proceed because the results will be around for the next 29.5 years. But if you are unsure and you act, those decisions will be full of consequences. If you are not sure if you want to get married, then don't walk down the aisle. If you are not sure you want to get pregnant, then don't do it now. Avoid commitments...especially long term right now. But this is a great time if you are truly ready to commit to something or someone to do just that. For instance, if you want to change your eating habits or make a lifestyle change, this is the perfect time to do so. Dropping weight, exercising, working on health issues....all good and you can create permanent routines you will carry with you.

We've got the new moon in Libra on the 15th, which is a great period to start a new relationship or partnership. Make a wish list for what you want in a relationship and post it on your vision board. Be sure to read the Mooncasts for this specific new moon written by our talented writer Jamie Malag in your latest edition of Alternatives Spirit Guide.

In other astro news...we have a mercury retrograde coming early November for three weeks so get your ducks in a row before then. And we have some eclipses coming too! Eclipses bring in sudden unexpected news and change. The two coming at years end are in Scorpio at 21.57 degrees on November 13 at 5:17p.m. Eastern and then November 28 at 9:33a.m. Eastern in Gemini at 6.40 degrees

Wherever Gemini or Sag is in your chart you will be most affected. Those of you are Sag or Gemini sun, rising or moon, will also be. Pisces and Virgo will also feel the effects too more intensely than other signs. Those of you who have degrees in your chart around 22 and 6/7 will also be affected.

If you want to find out how the eclipses are going to effect you, please order a one question reading from my website.
