Self-discipline and a sense of self-worth become important issues in your life as Saturn moves into your own sign for a 9-month stay. A fear of asserting yourself can hold you back - as can coming on too strong. The trick is learning to make the most of your personal talents and abilities, working within your limitations instead of feeling hemmed in by them. A time for real determination. A giving-up of much superficiality in favour of in-depth learning and self-discipline. Separating the wheat from the chaff in your personality.
Mercury moving into your chart's communications zone makes you want to be extra active and gregarious. There will be times when you'll find it almost impossible to sit still and you'll want to be on the move as much as possible. Short journeys will be interesting, enjoyable and productive, and you'll make some new contacts in the process. You'll also get a buzz out of putting pen to paper, whether you're writing letters or keeping your diary up to date.

Making peace with the past, coming to terms with karmic debts: these are some of the issues that confront you as Saturn begins a 9-month stay in your chart's most psychic zone. Failure to face these things can cause setbacks and put obstacles in your path. Learn to look beyond the narrowly personal and selfish or you'll get in over your head. Not an easy time, during which you may have to put up with many aggravations for the sake of what you believe in. Friends that aren't so friendly may drop away, and you could find yourself standing alone in pursuit of your destiny - a new strength.
Mercury moves into your chart's wealth zone, so you will gain goodwill as well as more money from travelling, paperwork and perhaps a fresh outlook on life too. Should you have a Gemini or Virgo in your circle, they might be giving you some good advice - so maybe you should listen.

Ideals are in for a period of testing, as Saturn begins a 9-month stay in your chart's most idealistic zone. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That's an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in - but if you abandon your principles, you lose. The discipline needed to put your dreams and goals to work in this world is now at hand. Application now can ensure that some of your vision makes it into reality, your dreams become real.
Your ruler Mercury comes home to your own sign this week and in doing so makes you feel more chatty than you've been for a long while. At last you're more confident about sharing your thoughts with others, so they'll find you more forthcoming than of late. You'll also have lots of nervous energy to get rid of, and it'll make you feel restless and on edge unless you can get out and about as much as possible.

Responsibility, hard work, ambition, and achievement: these are the foundations you need to build on now, as Saturn begins a 9-month stay in your chart's aspirations sector. And yet, there is a tendency to be a little too hard, perhaps a bit cold, in your approach to these things. Let ambition take you to the top, but don't let it lull you into thinking that the end justifies the means. Ambition and achievement can be tough taskmasters at a time like this. You win reward, recognition, and authority through hard work and knowing the score; otherwise, you may find that someone hungrier and more savvy will overtake you. This is a time to be disciplined regarding your career and lock your practical skills into routine and good habits. Your mind and decision-making abilities should be at a peak. Organisational and management skills are in high gear.
Mercury moving into your chart's most secretive zone puts you in a rather more reflective and quiet mood, making you much less eager to share your thoughts with others. Even so, you could benefit from confiding in someone, provided you trust them absolutely not to broadcast your innermost secrets to all and sundry. Failing that, you might like to write your thoughts down in a diary and keep them in a safe place.

Saturn beginning a 9-month stay in your chart's knowledge sector brings a need to break out of narrow concepts Opportunities to broaden your mental horizons may not come with ease, but they are essential if you are to avoid a kind of spiritual stagnation. Faith untested isn't worth bothering with: that's the lesson that takes centre stage in your life now. This is apt to be a time of analysing religious, philosophical, or ideological beliefs, becoming more aware of their logical shortcomings. Legal, political, or educational experiences require serious thought and planning. Distant journeys could turn out to be more than you bargained for. This is a time to pursue a more lasting set of values, be they religious or philosophical. Everything external and business-oriented should prosper, provided that honesty and truth are your guides. You are reaching a peak regarding outward success.
Mercury moves into your chart's social sector and heralds the start of a phase when friends and other contacts will play an important part in your life. This is also a good time for mixing business with pleasure, because you're at your most charming right now and you'll be able to impress some very important people. However, go easy on the food and drink, otherwise you'll feel awful afterwards!

Saturn beginning a 9-month stay in your chart's sexual affairs zone signals a need to recognise that there are powers beyond your control, that things are not what they seem on the surface. Trying to stay in control and on top only sets you up for a fall. There is a need for the resources of others. Failure to recognise this and deal with it can stop you in your tracks. Financial responsibilities and investments need close attention now. Play it safe where such things are concerned, or you could find yourself in a hole. Sex, death, and other of life's mysteries could be taken too seriously, when in fact they are just natural functions made to loom so large only by ignorance and taboo. "Take care of business" is the key to present moves. This is a time to concentrate on essentials, to cut through outer superficialities and find a more lasting reality. Strict business decisions are in order.
Mercury - your ruler - moving into your chart's ambitions zone this week gives you the perfect opportunity to make some creative changes in your work environment, especially if it's been getting you down lately. You might even be inspired to apply for a new job or seek promotion, and the planets are certainly working in your favour now.

Relationships and fairness take on a special importance in your life, as Saturn begins a 9-month stay in your chart's partnerships house. An insistence on principles that don't allow room for personal differences can be a self-defeating tendency. True partnership means commitment and being responsible to the other person - a lesson that takes on greater importance as this cycle progresses. This is a time to review the social scene and relationships in particular. A renewed perception of commitment could lead to marriage or some form of yoga - bringing it all together.
Mercury moves into the area of your chart that rules travel and education - and something is going to arouse your curiosity and you'll enjoy learning more. It's time to give your grey cells a little exercise - whether you do this for pleasure or profit. Right now, you aren't content with your current level of knowledge and want to increase it in some way. You might even be thinking of taking a college course or learning a foreign language.

An emphasis on discipline with regard to work and health is a keynote of the cycle now dawning in your life, as Saturn begins a 9-month stay in your chart's career and health sector. Procedures, scheduling, and details: you're apt to be weak in these areas unless you take steps to correct deficiencies. Do this, and you make progress; otherwise, you have to run faster just to avoid falling behind. A disciplined approach to work, health, and other of life's essential routines are especially important now. "Is it good for me?" is the question you need to ask yourself now - and if the answer is anything but yes, you need to make some changes. This is a time to really get down to the business of cleaning up your act, taking care of loose ends, and attending to any details you have neglected up to now. Health, food, and physical condition come under scrutiny, and you work to care for these matters.
As Mercury moves into your chart's power sector, this is a great time for talking with anyone who has a big impact on your heart or your bank balance. The more open and honest you can be with them, the more successful your conversations will be.

Saturn moving into your chart's creative zone this week, for a 9-month year stay indicates a focus on creativity and feelings - areas where you may feel that you are held back somehow. Developing a disciplined approach to these things is a must if you are to make any progress at all. Realise that you can't have it strictly on your own terms, that too much control can wither it away. This is a time during which confidence and self-expression are perhaps limited and disciplined. What you do achieve now will hold and prove to be lasting. This time could be seen as a kind of apprenticeship during which you learn to control yourself.
With Mercury moving into your chart's relationships zone, the best way to understand other people is to talk to them at every opportunity. Otherwise, you'll be left guessing about their needs and motives, and you could easily get things wrong as a result. This is a very good time for any negotiations and discussions, because you're eager to hear what others have to say. But don't be too keen to reach compromises - it's far better for you to hold out for what you think is right.

Putting down roots and building a solid foundation is essential to your sense of security now, as your ruler Saturn moves into your chart's home life sector for a 9-month stay. This means coming out of your emotional shell in some sense, and you may find that very hard to do - but it's essential nonetheless. Caring is not weakness, but strength. This is a time of closure, of establishing limits - a home base from which to operate. Physical limitations (limits) are discovered which provide a foundation for future growth and self-confidence.
As Mercury moves into your chart's heath and work sector, you may not be feeling 100% and you'll find that colleagues have plenty of advice or help for you. So, there's no need for you to struggle on alone - reach out to others. You might also make some extra money at work, perhaps when you're offered a pay rise or bonus.

Saturn moving into your chart's communications sector for a 9-month stay this week signals an emphasis on education, communication, and close social ties. There may be some difficulty or challenge associated with these things, but you can't afford to let that stop you: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Careful hard work and discipline is required in these areas of your life. This is a time when ideas, thoughts, and communication of all kinds will assume increased importance. You may find that you dispense with small talk and concentrate on the basic realities. You may be less able to communicate on the superficial levels.
Mercury is moving into your chart's most social sector, so matters related to abroad seem to be important. Furthermore, foreigners in your circle are at their most sociable and you'll be inundated with invitations to enjoy yourself; whilst doing so, there's going to be plenty of opportunity for casual romance.

Doubts about material security and psychological values can be a big issue in your life now, as Saturn moves into your chart's wealth zone for a 9-month stay. A reasonable respect for risk and loss is healthy, but an irrational fear of such possibilities can inhibit you from taking any action at all - which could lead to the very things you fear. A sober and responsible approach brings gain even in the face of risk. Your ability to respond to life - to possess and nurture your own ideas and impulses - may suffer some setbacks, or at least some major reorganisation. You could find yourself limiting or cutting back on resources.
With Mercury moving into the sector of you chart governing your roots, your thoughts start to move in the direction of the past, putting you in quite a sentimental and nostalgic frame of mind at times. Although you'll enjoy mulling over old memories, do your best not to neglect the present because you're so wrapped up in the past. Nevertheless, you could hear from someone who's been quite a stranger recently, and that will trigger a fresh wave of memories.
