subject: Dancing With Saturn In Libra [print this page] In astrology whenever a planet conjoins another planet that is the seed of a new beginning. Professional astrologers will suggest that when you have Saturn conjoining your Sun it is time to pay careful attention to what you are starting at this time in your life. This cycle is 28 years long and what you begin now could last for a long time.
When Saturn is transiting, (moving) through your Sun sign it will create a new beginning for you. How you Sun is positioned, what house your sun is in and what planet or planets your sun is connected to will determine how this transit impacts your life.
In general Saturn conjunct the Sun indicates that it is a time to reconsider what you are doing for a living. The Sun symbolizes the essence of what we are doing in our lives. It is the life force energy. If there was no sun there would cease to be life on earth. So what inspires you? What gives you your life? These will be the questions to be considered when Saturn is crossing over your Sun.
For some Libras Saturn conjunct their Sun is a welcome experience. It is a time when you will feel inspired to seek a promotion, a new job, or go back to school to further your skills. The Sun has a lot to do with what we do to make a living, but it is far deeper than just a job. It is about what we are doing with our life. Are you happy with your job? When you are in a Saturn transit it is important to do what you said you would do. Saturn is the planet of responsibility and commitment so be responsible and work hard. Even though Saturn is about commitment be conscious of why and what you have given your word and commitment to. If it is out of guilt or something you think you should do reconsider if you need to be continuing that promise.
If you are not being authentic to what your soul wants and needs for your personal growth then the Saturn transit can be difficult. You may lose your job and you could be more susceptible to stress and illness. You may feel that a heavy weight is on your shoulders or a dark cloud is surrounding you. These are signs to reevaluate what is important to you in your life and seek answers within to what your core values are.
Once you get in touch with your core values, whatever they may be, then consider if what you are doing is in alignment with your values. If supporting your family is a core value and your job is the means to do that then acknowledge that your job does align with what you want and need at the moment. If your core values include harmony in your life and the people you are in relationship bring nothing but conflict and discord then it is time to reevaluate whether or not you still want those individuals in your life.
Saturn in Libra will impact Libras in various degrees. For some Libras the shift can be a minor and welcome change to embracing a life that is authentically yours. For other Libras Saturn in Libra can be a difficult transition and a complete overhaul of your life to get it back on track towards what will ultimately bring you joy and fulfillment.
