About Saturn, the Great Teacher

Saturn, the Great Teacher, has just begun its transit of Capricorn. For the next two years and more, Saturn will be having a strong influence on whatever area of your life/chart it is working its way through. Today, the day of the New Moon in Capricorn when six heavenly bodies are transiting the same sign as Saturn (Saturn, Mercury, Sun, Moon, Venus, Pluto), it is a good time to consider how Saturn affects different areas of our lives.

While I mention this regularly in my Full Moon and New Moon columns, I have found another astrologer who has done some fine work on Saturn through the houses. Jessica of MoonKissed has written a series of articles highlighting the effects of Saturn through the different houses. In the interest of not reinventing the wheel and of supporting other astrologers who I find interesting and well informed, I suggest you read what Jessica has to say about Saturn.


Saturn has a profound effect on how we learn our lessons, whether we are conscious of it or not. Better to be aware and conscious, I think.  Hope you find her work enlightening as I do.  Also, Robert Hand's classic, Planets in Transit can be very helpful for understanding the individual transits.

Today's stellia in Capricorn, involves the Sun, the Moon, and two inner planets plus two of the most powerful, outer, slow-moving planets. It is wise to learn all we can about how we can use the energy of this New Moon in Capricorn to make plans, start out on a new path or in a new direction. Slow down, as Saturn always advises, and notice how your  mental, spiritual, emotional, physical, and energetic levels of our lives, perceptions, and experiences are calling for your attention and discernment.

Many blessings as you experience this powerful New Moon in Capricorn today. If you missed it, read the New Moon article below.
