Star Struck Style

I published a post yesterday about Saturn’s ingress into my sixth house. Just a moment ago, I looked up the same transit on “Café Astrology” just to see if I could learn anything else about this major shift in my horoscope. Nothing really surprised me except for the use of the word “fluff.” Just a couple of days ago, I was discussing dandelion fluff in an unrelated post. Anyway, the prediction reads as follows:

“Saturn turns his critical eye on matters of the sixth house, and you are likely to feel a certain level of pressure in the areas of work, daily functions, habits, and health. At the beginning of the transit of Saturn to the sixth house, you might find yourself more accountable than ever when it comes to your work.

You may initially feel bogged down by what seems like undue pressure in your routines. The key word here is ‘seems,’ simply because the nature of Saturn is such that the pressure it brings is never truly undue.

In fact, Saturn knows better than us, and it is, in reality, very much ‘due.’ Why? Because things we may have previously neglected or disregarded now come up for inspection.

How can we make the best use of our time? How can we manage our day-to-day lives and our bodies better? Saturn pressures enlighten us to the ‘fluff’ surrounding our daily routines and work, and spring cleaning is now in order.

It’s an excellent time to begin new regimens to better our health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use of our time, etc. In fact, life events may now pressure us to do so–or at least provide us with the motivation to get our act together. Traditionally, this transit was associated with health problems.

Generally, though, if health concerns manifest, they are ones that are manageable. They signal the need for change in diet, routines, and habits. By the end of the transit, you will likely have learned to be more productive, healthier, and considerably more focused.”

I feel as if I am following a divergent path because I literally abandoned the routine I had been following for the last few years. However, recognizing that my regimen was not working for me was a revelation. I’m already feeling so much better about myself despite the fact that I’m still struggling to adapt to the changes. But that is the least of my worries. I have thrived in the past when I have let go of the idea that everything in my life must be regimented. Because I have my natal sun, my natal moon and my ascendant in cardinal signs, I often describe my nature as cardinal. Yet I have my natal Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto in mutable signs, along with Chiron and the nodes. I’m intrinsically adaptable. I need to remember that.

My “spring cleaning” has begun. I just need to remember that the “fluff” isn’t really my enemy. Getting stuck in a rut that doesn’t make me happy is the thing I need to avoid now that Saturn has moved from a fixed house into a mutable house. That will be the secret to my success in this new phase of my life. I’m just a few hours away from this shift in the stars, but in my heart I know I’m already there. It feels good.
