Horoscope for the week starting July 17, 2005
By Michael O'Connor

Tip of the week:

On July 16, 2005 at 5:34 Am PDT the planet Saturn entered (ingressed) the sign of Leo. Saturn will remain in Leo in Leo until September 2, 2007 before it enters Virgo on that day at 6:48 Am PDT. Saturn is the traditional heavy weight in Astrology and generally indicates the need for disciplined focus and concentration, order and organization, structure and action, effort and achievement. Saturn is colloquially know as the teacher and task master and implies delays, restriction, necessity, weight, limitation and the need for patient, effective, logical work. Hardly the life of the party, Saturn is akin to mathematics requiring strict adherence to logic, facts and rules. Is it any surprise that in medical Astrology Saturn rules the skeletal system, joints, skin and knees? Saturn can be very authoritarian and sobering to playful, creative, romantic and childlike Leo. However, at best it brings slow deliberate focus towards creative expressions with enduring power. This week's Horoscope offers a brief overview of what each sign can generally expect while Saturn transits through Leo.


Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

While in Leo, Saturn will make you bring more definition to your creative self-expression. Your basic challenge will be to take a slow and deliberate approach to fortify and define your skills and talents. Sheer effort will not be enough and you will have to restructure your overall approach so that it is worthy of the caliber of expression that you are destined to perform. The time has come to hone your abilities.


Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20)

While in Leo, Saturn stands to bring some very real weight of responsibility to you. This process will affect you at a core level and more generally will center on home and family. Learning how to be a parent or to become a better parent are likely themes. Blending love with healthy discipline as a means of establishing more realistic and wholesome lifestyle habits is part of the plot. Be aware of tendencies towards cold heartedness.


Gemini (May 21 - Jun 21)

Bringing more focus, effort and discipline to learning new skills, especially connected to relationships, is a strong theme with Saturn transiting through Leo. Becoming more aware of the importance of religion, law, art, culture and spirituality are likely themes. The rules of love will bring maturity wherever it is lacking. You could become more sober and realistic about many aspects of your life.


Cancer (Jun 22 - Jul 22)

Consolidating your overall focus and investments is a central theme for you while Saturn is in Leo. Possessions, real estate, land investments and other moveable and non moveable properties will take on new importance for you over the next couple of years. Building solid friendships and other important relationships also come into play. Patience throughout this process will become a keyword.


Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 23)

Saturn in your own sign will constitute a confrontation of sorts with yourself. Your beliefs, sense of identity, dreams, aspirations as well as where and how you feel unfulfilled - what haunts you - should become more evident themes in your daily thoughts and experiences. Re-discovering a new sense of identity, direction and purpose will be paramount. This can be a challenging process so be conscientious.


Virgo (Aug 24 - Sep 22)

A dissolution of old mind sets, attitudes, perceptions, self-concepts and their subsequent behavior patterns will occur while Saturn moves through Leo. This letting go process can be confusing, however, is as much as you can be open to surrendering and releasing the grip your mind has on who you think you are you could


Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

Returns and rewards will come your way as Saturn moves through Leo. Whether these are positive or not depends upon the quality of your actions over the past 2 years or so. In addition, you will learn more about friendship and love. Humanitarian interests may gain your attention as may involvements with groups and clubs. This a time during which your concept of family will take on greater importance and wider implications.


Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

Career, public exposure and participation and your overall social reputation are in the spotlight for the next couple of years. In as much as you have been diligently preparing, learning and building a strong healthy momentum you will be promoted to new levels of leadership. If you have been unfocused, scattered and undisciplined, you may be in for a rough ride. In any case, opportunities to establish a new level of power and leadership will begin.


Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Education, travel, culture, law, religion and spirituality are all likely avenues of focus while Saturn moves through Leo. This is your opportunity to embark upon new interests and cultivate your passions by way of new experiences, knowledge and awareness. A spirit of adventure and enthusiasm is likely to provide the inspiration you need to embark on some exciting journeys.


Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

You are entering into a period of metamorphosis. By the time Saturn enters Virgo in a couple of years, old aspects of your personality will be stripped clean and you will be ready to learn new things. Since resistance is futile, embrace this process and trust that the universe knows what it is doing and what you need. Let go of control and let the caterpillar cocoon to become the butterfly.


Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 19)

New types, levels and qualities of commitment are central themes with Saturn in the Sign of the lion. Deep changes in your overall lifestyle will begin. These include a refinement of what you feel you need to be secure. Significant others will enter the stage and engage with you in meaningful ways. Ready or not, new relationship involvements are coming you way. Prepare to meet the new friends, mates and partners of your destiny.


Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

Learning and refining skills is part of the plot with Saturn in Leo. Mentors and teachers will come your way and it is your job to listen and learn. These lessons will center on health and wellness, family, emotional security and love. Defining and refining artistic expression also features prominently. Be patient with this process and intend to fully digest what you are taking in as this learning will last many years.
