LIBRA

September 23 to October 22

Breathe a huge sigh of relief, Libra. Saturn’s lengthy stay in your sector of self is finally over. It would be fair to say that recent years have helped you mature by illuminating your life with the harsh light of realism. False expectations, naive assumptions or simple wishful thinking have fallen away. The focus now falls on finances. Over the next two years, you become more concerned with budgeting and the control of funds. At times, however, you may have to make do with less, with resources occasionally being stretched to the limit. And if your income does increase, it won’t be due to luck – it will be because you earned it. By the end of this two-year transit, though, you will have thrown out all that’s unsuccessful or wasteful – be it material, psychological or spiritual. Celebrate the change.

SCORPIO

October 23 to November 21

Scorpios have just completed a 14-year cycle in which priorities revolved around relationships. But, finally, you can concentrate on your own needs. In the next two years, each interaction you face teaches you something important about life and your own choices. Indeed, you’ve a deep instinct that something special is on its way – including an overhaul of self-image. Expect a leaner, fitter you.

SAGITTARIUS
November 22 to December 21

Saturn settles into your sector of subconscious for the next two years. Initially, expect an overview of past and present. Soon after, you may notice that you can’t steer situations as much as usual. But you should eventually arrive at your moment of truth – that you alone are responsible for your life. You also realise that lasting contentment can only come from within.

CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 19

Saturn is throwing its weight around most of the zodiac, suggesting a disciplined time ahead for almost everyone – except you. While others spend the next two years floundering, you’re blessed with new friendships and the fulfilment of dreams. In recent years, Capricorns have all but disappeared from the social scene. You’ve been missed and are welcomed back with supportive arms.

AQUARIUS

January 20 to February 18
Saturn makes lots of demands and, for the next two years, the dictate falls on career. This Saturn transit often corresponds with a move up the professional ladder, but only if you’ve been working hard. If you’ve made little effort, the opposite could happen. But don’t be tempted to blame others for past failures – accept the consequences of your own actions. If need be, look to older colleagues for support.  

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

You’re ready to make some radical moves and will continue to do so for the next few years. You should also feel more comfortable with who you are. Just don’t assume you know everything. After all, life is a journey, so stay open to new experiences. You also get another chance to achieve goals that seemed elusive in the past. This time, you’re on the right track.  

ARIES

March 21 to April 20

For years, Saturn has made your life hell with its orders to wait pulsing through your mind. Finally, the confusion should start to lift. Likewise, expect closer contact in love matters. Take your hedonistic opportunities, but you should also ask what you really want out of your relationships. In money matters, for the next two years, financial independence is a must. 

TAURUS

April 21 to May 20

Right now, your attention is focused away from your inner world and more towards the outer. When you feel ready, and know what you want from life – sometime in the next two years – you’ll receive recognition and possibly fame. Year’s end and early 2013 are loaded with sparkle that blesses home, career and romantic realms. The great news? The promise of love that lasts.

GEMINI

May 21 to June 21

Scrap any self-doubt and reaffirm your strengths – the next two years will be a time of triumph. Now that Saturn has been rendered powerless in your house of love, you’re offered carnal carte blanche. But don’t let old habits stop you. Lose your inhibitions and reach out for whomever you want. If you get your wrist smacked, you can always extend it elsewhere.

CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Saturn settles into your love sector for some time. By December, you’ll head in a new life direction, but now’s the time to clear away emotional debris. Your growing awareness of your desires should be made clear to anyone who tries to steer you away from them. For some, past romantic flames may be relit. Listen to your heart.

LEO

July 23 to August 22

With Saturn less inclined to cramp your style, you’re granted a kinder year ahead. Challenges will be faced with greater confidence. Work takes a back seat in summer, making room for love. One person in particular has a powerful effect on your life. And should you be disappointed with your domestic situation, expect change. Extravagance is also likely.  

VIRGO

August 23 to September 22 
Saturn introduces a new spirit into your life, making you more tenacious. You also become more serious in your efforts to exchange ideas or develop new skills. The next few years are a period of trial and error. The true test, however, comes in learning to overcome obstacles. But it’s not all work – your sex drive is in top gear and there’s plenty of time for play.
