Starting a new business in January will pose problems but there is a way to get around this. This can be acheived by having a Grand Opening at a better time when Mars is Direct.

Starting a business with Saturn Retrograde indicates that the business will need some restructuring and reorganizing. If you are willing to do this, then it will be fine.

Starting a business with Mars Retrograde is a bigger problem in a business chart.

To get around this, as I said, have another Starting Date after Mars goes direct.

For this 2nd Starting Date, just have a party or some type of offical celebration for the new date. It works well with the Mars and Saturn Retrograde because, with the 2nd date, you will be re-starting the business date.

I hope this helps and much success in both endeavors!

Since Saturn is retrograde half of the year, we can say that Saturn has been retrograde for half of your entire life. So, difficulties do not happen simply because Saturn is Retrograde — only if Saturn makes any difficult aspects at the time.

During the end of 2007 and early 2006, Saturn (retrograde has trouble establishing boundaries with others so you can be more vulnerable), Saturn was parallel Hygiea and Pluto. This causes you natal perfectionist sense of responsibility to cause problems for you, especially with the people whom you love. Hygiea is an asteroid that I use as it can cause problems when some aspect of your life is “out of balance.” In your case, it would be connected with work and your perfectionist sense of responsibility.

When I looked ahead to 2009, Saturn is not making any aspects then so there is no need for concern here. The transiting Uranus will be very strong so there will be a powerful urge to break free of the demands of others and to become more independent. This is a good thing.

In your natal chart, Saturn has difficult aspects indicating that the programming from your childhood was that, before YOU can be happy, the people you love must be happy. The truth is that they will never be happy so, at some point, you need to think about YOU. However, you have most of your planets on the Occidental or Right side of the chart. By nature, the needs and emergencies of others will always take priority over your own needs.

Using our newest planet, Eris, Saturn forms a Yod configuration. Using the text from Alan Epstein….

SATURN: Authority and respect are major issues. Responsibility may have been placed upon individual too early – may have been forced to be responsible for a parent. May attract people who do not handle responsibilities well so they limit their own freedom by assuming the responsibilities of others.

Saturn is Retrograde is about DEFINING BOUNDARIES for others – saying No! Saturn transiting the 5th is about 1) defining what makes you feel loved and appreciated — and then asking the people who say they love you to give you what you need. Years ago, I asked my friends to invite me to lunch .. and they were thrilled to do this. Virgo planets are not good receivers…so they always attract takers.
2) the 5th is about cultivating your creative skills in some productive way.
Saturn in Virgo keeps on very busy but it can be very productive in the long run.

SATURN TRANSITING MC I almost never take Saturn R into consideration when I give readings. This is only useful for people in business where they need detailed information for the comng year.
The passing of your Mom was connected to the Neptune transit. Neptune is in your 11th House ruling death in the family circle and it also rules your IC. Indeed, Uranus is coming from the 8th while crossing the IC so this can be a factor as well.
31 years ago there was a Saturn-Neptune solar arc progression.
There is an aspect in your chart that tells me that your mother is still with you through February 2010.

Your question is about the Saturn-Uranus opposition on the angles. Sometimes this can denote a conflict between your personal environment and the career. With Saturn, there should be a focus upon the career but NO COMMITMENT should be made when Saturn is afflicting any planet in your chart. You would take on frustrating responsibilities. Just say NO under Saturn.
The 4th House rules the place in which we live, our environment and the place in which we work. During its 7 year transit, both your personal and work environment will undergo many changes.
Uranus in Pisces is associated with activism so that taking activist action can be a positive use of this transit.
Uranus square NN is a time of liberation in our lives.

Uranus makes us aware of what is limiting and frustrating our lives and we need to end what we have outgrown. Uranus will be aspecting Ending Planets so it is a time to end limitations in your life.
When these hit you, with Saturn, I like to use the “Uranus Transit” essence from www.soulsign.com Now I have no connection with this website so I am not promoting these but URANUS TRANSIT (not Uranus”) makes me feel like I am free. I do not feel Saturn. It helps when despondent because of the pull of Saturn and Uranus together.

If someone is experiencing allergies while transiting saturn opposes natal mars, will the allergies subside when saturn goes direct and starts to move away from natal mars?

Would you recommend not getting married during a saturn retrograde period? Or would it not matter as long as the date is decided during a direct period? I am looking into dates for next year and noted that Saturn will be retrograde Jan – May, 2010, with Saturn in my 11th house.

SATURN IN PISCES: These people can shoulder responsibilities, putting the weight of the world on their shoulders. This can lead to illness or a lot of whining and complaining. Define boundaries for others, define your own boundaries and shoulder responsibilities for something that you believe in strongly.

BEGINNING SATURN (1 degree): With my initial observations, I found that individuals born with a Beginning Saturn often feel that they were never taught how to live in the real world so that they often do not have a real concept of responsibility, no innate common sense, and no concept of what is expected from them in terms of commitment. In approaching tasks, they do not start early enough, they may take on too much, they have no concept of how long it will take to do something and they have no sense of when to stop.

This Saturn often indicates a poor paternal role model. Sometimes the father was not really there for them which can make them feel insecure in dealing with life’s problems and responsibilities. These individuals need a relationship with someone who acts as a structuring parent, someone who assumes responsibilities for them or who teaches them how to be responsible. They need some type of “parenting” in a relationship – but not like dad! They really need a mentor, someone who “shows them the ropes” and helps them to learn how to define boundaries. One individual commented that, as an adult, he suddenly realized that his father had never even taught him how to change a tire! A Beginning Saturn that is also Retrograde has an even more difficult time defining boundaries and saying NO, especially in those matters ruled by its House position.

In essence, his problem with responsibility will be very frustrating to your Virgo Sun.

Wow – I’m always paying super attention to Mercury Retrogrades as well the whole deal lately with Saturn and Uranus, so the idea of a Saturn Retrograde is borderline blowing my mind.

For four years I have been in a rock band. We’ve traveled the country and made a bit of a name for ourselves. I’ve really been trying to use the planets to guide me. 2010 is a big year for the band to try and break through the glass ceiling.

We’re trying to use the next four months to play less shows and concentrate on recording a demo to help us get signed as well to be able to play Europe. We are in serious need of a good demo so we really need to focus these next few months on it.

This isn’t something we just started, but has been four years in the making. This is either break through to the next level or hang up the hat.

Should I be inspired or nervous over the next few months recording our demo during a Saturn Retrograde?

BRIAN: If you had read my posts, you would know that Saturn R has absolutely nothing to do with your Demo. It is your horoscope and the combined horoscopes of the group that will determine the outcome. If you are truly interested is your endeavor, I would suggest a Horary Question, the chart for the time a question is asked. Alphee Lavoie is well known for this as well as Judy at silvercharm49@yahoo.com

PARAM: Saturn R has nothing to do with your problems. It only has an impact if it is afflicting planets in your natal chart. If so, Pluto is also involved. In a difficult economic time, the difficult transits are made even more difficult.

You do not have a job or money….and your husband wants you to have a baby!!! I think this is a control issue on the part of your husband. Saturn R is good for defining boundaries and saying NO. Read the earlier posts.

Hi Lynn

I’m curious. Saturn has now gone retrograde and I have just gotten in touch with someone that I used to have the biggest crush on around a degade ago. Nothing ever materialised of it then. We now have a date scheduled for the upcoming month and I was wondering what effects this would have.

Nataly Saturn is in virgo in the 6th. My Libra is in Scorpio 2nd house retro. Pluto was in Libra in the 7th. Oh and my sun is Libra….so how does this effect me? I must also mention that I am going through my 3rd retrenchment in the last 6 months, which means I’m finding myself back in the job market. Mars in 12th, Mars sextile Pluto for the next 6 months. Is there hope for me or is my goose cooked. (Somehow I always land on my feet so I’m not too nervous…but I am trying to get prepared, forewarned and all that.)

Thanks Lynn for your what I know is going to be wonderful input.

MELODY: When you are as old as I am, you realize that everything in your chart is Karmic and karma related.
Because Saturn definitely brings lessons into our lives (but all of the planets do actually), then you can say that these lessons are karma working in our lives.
When the Law of Karma is not in effect, it is the Law of Grace that is working.

Thanks Lynn, makes clear sense. Blessings to you and all!

SATURN IN 7TH HOUSE:
What you are describing is not the Retrograde but simply Saturn transiting the 7th House. This transits causes the people in our life to have a lot of personal problems and, therefore, they cannot be there for you. There is usually something else going on with the other person and you may not know what it is.
When Saturn last transited my 7th, many of my friends were in 12-step programs. Some could not drive so I was hauling them to meetings (male and female friends). No one was there for me!
It is not a cycle for getting married or getting pregnant — both situations bring lots of responsibilities.
I recommend Erin Sullivan’s TRANSITS OF SATURN as an excellent resource for Saturn.

This is definitely a Mars R situation — nothing to do with Saturn R — Getting back with someone from the past.
I personally have experienced a disgruntled attitude in myself and others. There seems to be some repressed anger issues as well.

Nikos, Saturn R has absolutely nothing to do with a move or relocation. This is the action of the outer planets and progressed planets in your chart.
Yes, avoid Mercury R but Saturn has nothing to do with the move.
