WE are descendants of Stars! Not Hollywood ones, but real ones from the Heavens above Us. In a sense we are all star-crossed lovers! But we need not stumble around blindly through life. We have a map! There are auspicious times and bad times to do important things in life. Astrology help us understand the nature of the 7 creative planet’s qualities and how they impact our day to day lives. From time to time I will be dropping important info regarding planetary happenings. Think of it as your CNN of the Stars to the Streets. Let’s go visit our friend Saturn, law of Karma, the taskmaster of the zodiac.

Saturn turns retrograde on January 13 and all of us will feel the energy of Saturn retrograde in Libra in one way or another. Saturn is charged with the duty of teaching us our lessons in life — giving us the ability to grow and persevere, granting us the will to succeed and the strength to accomplish the tasks at hand. As we learn, we are rewarded by Saturn when the lesson or job is done.

The energy of Saturn retrograde is a fairly powerful force. This is an excellent time to grasp that retrograde energy, to bring projects to completion, and to let go of old problems and issues. By letting go of self-limitations, the future becomes more exciting and clear.

While this may not be the best time to launch new projects, it is a fabulous time to start working on those plans — particularly because of the Libra energy entwined in this retrograde. The plans you make now, if the foundation you have built is solid, will most likely begin to manifest when Saturn goes direct on May 30, 2010.
