Star Struck Style

Transiting Saturn made its final conjunction with my natal Saturn just a few hours ago. My second Saturn return is officially over!

Well, that’s not exactly true. The ringed planet will be within a one-degree orb of my natal Saturn for a while because it just turned direct. It’s barely moving at all right now. I’ve got about three more weeks of this seemingly-endless cycle to endure.

It hasn’t been bad. Honestly, it’s been more boring than anything else. 2024 will go down in the books as one of the most uneventful years of my life. At least I got to go to Las Vegas a couple of times.

Anyway, Saturn’s next stop in my chart is its return to the place it was last April when it formed a sextile to my natal sun. “Café Astrology” has a rather rosy forecast for this transit that will characterize much of January for me:

“When transiting Saturn trines or sextiles our natal Sun, we feel more comfortable with who we are. Because we have a more mature grasp of our own capabilities, we project a more responsible, perhaps serious, and self-assured personality to others. We may be more open to receiving grounded, practical advice.

Our lives seem more stable during this period, likely because we look at ourselves in a realistic and reasonable manner. We are less vulnerable to self-delusions.“

The sun will be transiting Capricorn at the same time as this Saturn transit, so practicality should be my modus operandi throughout the month of January. That’s good news for me. I just hope that “practicality” won’t be synonymous with “boring” as the year begins. Curiously, Uranus will be stuck in the sky for the entire month just a few minutes away from forming an exact sextile with my midheaven. That bodes well for exciting changes in my career: the one thing in my life that bores me the most.

It’s an optimistic forecast, and something to look forward to now that I’m on the other side of this thrice-in-a-lifetime Saturn cycle. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
