Saturn Turns Direct Nov 15 - Karma Unfolds

Saturn turns direct in sidereal Aquarius at 18 degrees Shatabhisha on November 15, coinciding with the full Moon. This is a pivotal day, as actions taken on this day will have a lasting impact on our lives. If you have any commitments on this day, it is crucial to honor them and maintain your integrity. Impulsive changes of plans can adversely affect specific aspects of your life in the long run. Saturn, being the son of the Sun, embodies similar masculine energy principles. Therefore, it's best to channel this energy via consistency, reliability, and unwavering commitment to our promises.

This direct motion of Saturn in Shatabhisha entails a significant amount of healing energies.

Shatabisha is situated entirely within the sidereal Aquarius constellation. It is commonly referred to as the "healer of the gods" and is associated with the concept of healing. The deity found here is Varuna, who holds dominion over cosmic waters and rainfall. This aligns well with Aquarius' representation of a man holding and pouring a pitcher of water. Varuna is recognized as a deity of sin, judgment, and the allocation of karma or retribution.

This is a highly karmic time for the world and for us individually, especially if we have planets at 18 degrees or within 3 degrees of sidereal Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer and Virgo (or if our Ascendant degree is here).

Saturn's predictable nature allows us to anticipate potential challenges and issues. Its slow movement through the zodiac, remaining in each sign for approximately two and a half years, provides ample time for adjustment and improvement. Therefore, it is crucial to pay close attention to Saturn's transits in one's chart and heed the valuable lessons it imparts.

Please be aware that there may be some challenges in the coming weeks and months, especially if you have planets at 18 degrees of Aquarius or Leo (sidereal only). If your Moon is positioned in Aquarius at 18 degrees or within 3 degrees, you may be experiencing the difficult period known as the peak Sade Sati. This can have a significant psychological and emotional impact, potentially leading to feelings of depression and feeling trapped, this is normal and will subside once Saturn moves away from your Moon. During this time, it is important to surround yourself by supportive loved ones.

This peak phase can also be an excellent period for professional and personal development, as well as significant life transitions and advancements, such as marriage or the arrival of children, which entail increased responsibility.

Should your planets be in either Taurus or Scorpio (causing a square with Saturn) or in Cancer or Virgo (causing a quincunx with Saturn), it is imperative that you do everything with extra integrity and humility in the coming weeks and months. This will be a challenging period that may bring about significant life transformations. Go with the flow and pay attention to Saturn's valuable life lessons.
