Sun Square Saturn

Saturn is all about responsibility and learning useful and necessary, but sometimes hard life lessons. And right now, the Sun is shining a big, bright spotlight on this tough-love planet. Over time, this event will actually prove benevolent and will certainly work in your favor, if you do your part too. However, in the immediate future, Saturn has a lesson for you to learn and if you resist, things could get messy. The thing to remember is that Saturn reminds us to pull our heads out of the clouds, so we don't fall painfully into a dirty pothole later. Yes, you will likely face delays and setbacks now. You may even have to own up to a couple of mistakes. But at some point in the not-too-distant future, you'll look back on these events with gratitude.

With this understanding of how Saturn works, what are the next steps?

1) Stop whatever you're doing

2) Take a step back

3) Breathe

4) Look around until you can completely see the whole picture. Where do you see current or potential problems cropping up? Is it your job, your relationship, your finances? Maybe all you need is something as simple as a preventative check up for your health or your car?

5) Once everything is in view, determining what needs to be fixed and how to go about doing it should become apparent.

As soon as you address the issues Saturn is concerned about, you'll move forward with your life with more success and effectiveness.

To counter the severity of Saturn, the 7th will also see romantic, social Venus move into fiery Sagittarius. This is a great chance to grab friends and try some new activity (Rock climbing? Ballroom dancing? A new and exotic restaurant?). Or perhaps you'd rather throw some flamboyant party or get together. Regardless of what you decide to try, make sure you do something. You're practically guaranteed to have fun. You'll also find that it's more important than ever for your lover to be both passionate and to provide sufficient mental stimulation as well. The best relationships (romantic or otherwise) are always between best friends.
