Saturn, the reaper, is one of my favorite planets. It rules time, structure, fear, discipline, ambition, commitment and maturity. Saturn changes signs every two years and takes 28 years to make a complete cycle around the Sun - hence the "Saturn Return" or coming of age when we turn 28 years old. With Saturn, we reap what we sow.
On October 5th Saturn changes signs from Libra to Scorpio which is VERY significant. For the last two years our subtle focus has been on partnerships, balance and commitment. Now the Reaper is entering the sign of Sex and Death for the next two years. Yikes. Scorpio is also the sign of extremes. It rules how high you can go and how low you can fall. It represents death, decay and rebirth as well as sex. It is alchemy - turning a person's leaden nature into pure gold.
Both Saturn and Scorpio are intense, focused and brutally honest. Both of them represent the transformation of the individual on a deep level. Saturn's intensity will now be focused like a laser beam on personal evolution and rebirth. If you've been lacking discipline and responsibility, you're about to get a wake up call!

Onto the horoscopes! I will
look at the influence of Saturn on your sign, as
well as the position of your ruler. Reading your sun sign is important, but it's also good to read the sign that relates to your Rising sign. If you don't know
your rising sign (also called the ascendant), you can figure it out on
the Free Horoscopes link at astro.com.
Aries: The Ram
You still have Uranus (sudden events, originality) in your sign sending you all sorts of wild ideas (this will be going on for the next ten years, fyi). With this placement you have the capacity to be shocking. Have you dyed your hair purple or moved across the country yet? It could happen. The good news is Venus (love) is about to move into your House of Romance on September 7th! It's a great time to start a romance or begin creative projects.
Saturn's entrance into Scorpio falls into your House of Loans and Real Estate, which might make it challenging to secure credit. With Saturn you "reap what you sow", so if your finances are a mess it's time to get organized! Saturn has a way of forcing issues if you don't take the initiative.
Taurus: The Bull
The astrological action this Fall will be transiting your House of Partnerships. It will be important for you to keep communications clear with relationships in your life. The good news is your ruler, Venus, will be moving through Leo, Virgo and Libra which are very harmonious signs for Taurus.
With Saturn, and Mars, entering Scorpio (Partnerships House) your relationships could encounter challenges and emotional flare ups. On the other hand, Mars might make you more sociable! Saturn brings up issues around security and Mars can bring a short fuse. Try to keep communications open and your side of the street clean. And take some time for reflection before committing to any partnerships - in your business OR social life.

Capricorn: The Sea Goat
Your horoscope this Fall is VERY interesting. Your ruler, Saturn, is entering Scorpio, while Scorpio's ruling planet, Pluto, is in Capricorn. This is referred to as "mutual reception" which means Authority (Saturn) meets Revolution (Pluto). Both of these planets and signs are extreme so there could be brilliant discoveries and brutal revolutions played out on the world stage. This is a very rare event that will effect us on a personal level too. Who has authority over us and is it time for a radical change? The last time this configuration happened was 1776 - the Revolutionary War in America.
This drama will be occurring in your House of Friendships. There might be some friendships that need a realistic assessment. You might receive a new leadership role at work, or there might be extra responsibilities involving groups of people at work. This is a time of great personal revolution for you that will lead to a more meaningful future.
