“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”
― Benjamin Franklin

The cosmic taskmaster gets ready to station direct on July 8 in the dark and fixed waters of Scorpio. Saturn has been retrograde since February, asking us to really integrate all of the change and loss that started last October.

Saturn rules the structures in our lives, our integrity and day-to-day issues — like business and bills. Now that we’ve had a solid five months to really digest the lessons of Scorpio, we’re now being asked to put the wisdom into practice going forward. Look to what houses Saturn rules in your birth chart to see where you really need to hone in and do the work.

This is a time to own your inner authority and make the changes that will ultimately empower you. If you were (or are) your own boss, how would you promote yourself to the next level? It’s time for a serious evaluation. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Where do you deserve reward and where could you improve? How do you tap into your resourcefulness? Do you know when to let go and when to persevere? Are you loyal, committed and determined despite the odds and obstacles? These are the questions Saturn asks.

Commitment and integrity are primary now. All flakes will quickly be removed from the playing field. Saturn means business. Get clear on your boundaries and your bottom line in honor of Saturn direct. There’s no time to lose or waste — time is the most precious commodity.
