Today is an interesting day for me. Retrograde Saturn just reentered my fifth house where it will remain until January 8, 2026. Earlier this year, I published several posts discussing Saturn’s ingress into my sixth house shortly after I quit my full-time job. Revisiting those posts, I can see that it took me a few weeks to reorient myself in a direction that made me feel as if I didn’t make a big mistake. However, it wasn’t long before I was patting myself on the back for walking away from a situation that was making me feel miserable. I haven’t looked back since.

But with Saturn returning to the part of my chart it inhabited when I was already headed for the door, I find myself in a place where I know that I should be doing more. My talents aren’t being utilized to their fullest. I have a lot more to offer an employer who is willing to collaborate with me.

It’s no surprise that I’m writing sentences like the last one while the Libra sun is transiting my first house and Jupiter is mere minutes away from my midheaven in the tenth house. What is surprising is that I sat down yesterday and planned the next couple of months right up to January 8, 2026: the day that Saturn returns to my sixth house. It’s like the universe is providing me with a timeline that I need to follow to ensure that I don’t simply jump at the first opportunity to come my way. Suddenly, my innate Capricorn patience is being put into practice. I feel as my discernment is going to get me somewhere. I’m going to choose the right opportunity at the right time.

Nevertheless, Jupiter is also going to go retrograde and return to my ninth house in December. I’m not quite sure how that will play out in this scenario, although it could be possible that I will start to see opportunities in places where I didn’t see opportunities before. I’ve spent much of 2025 trying to feel like myself again after a couple of years in a job that sucked the life out of me. I realized that during Jupiter’s transit of my ninth house, and I literally made my return to the retail business the day that Jupiter moved into that part of my chart.

Taking all of these factors into consideration is making me feel confident about what my future holds, even though nothing seems to be happening quickly enough. Still, seeing the stars line up in this manner gives me hope for the future and the idea that I might soon be doing something that allows me to show off my talents.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to learn how to juggle while I’ve got some free time . . .
