An astrological configuration between Virgo and the planet Saturn has been putting up some roadblocks and other obstacles for natives of this sign. Everyone has to go through this rite of passage at some time in life. Currently, it happens to be Virgo’s turn.

Though Saturn is millions of kilometers away, it is a huge planet, and it does affect earthlings. As Carl Sagan stated, “The matter that makes up our world came together in the skies.”

Those born in the early part of the astrology of Virgo have already experienced the constrictive energies that this planet brings.

Beginning in 2007, Saturn has occupied the astrology of Virgo, and will be stationed in this astrological position until August of 2010. Even though it is technically out of orb on either side of these dates, Saturn’s energy can be felt before and after it passes it’s technical orb of influence.

The best way to deal with this transit is with self-discipline. That’s the good news. Virgo does have the capacity to put the nose to the grindstone. And that’s what this astrological transit is about.

Some astrologers focus on this transit having an effect on the subconscious. Others say it is the culmination of deeds done in the past. The idea is that life needs the clutter cleared out of it from time to time. But in order to do this, some painful lessons will enter the picture.

This astrology transit does not favor social life. So if things look bleak on the social scene, don’t blame it on anything but this astrology transit.

On the romantic scene, a new love may appear on the horizon, but an affair will be short lived. For those who are already involved with a significant other, the going will be rough, and there could be an eminent break up. It may seem sad, but the deck needs to be cleared to allow for growth.

Lessons learned show the way to a new maturity in life. But often, lessons are painfully absorbed.

Hard work towards a goal is the way to deal with the astrological influence of planet Saturn. Taking some college courses, learning martial arts, or obtaining a skill lead to better things in life. Saturn gives the needed persistence for these things as it blocks out other distractions.

Energy levels will be low, so it’s necessary to get plenty of sleep and watch the diet. Carmel coloring in foods should be avoided. An exercise regimen, and overall hygienic healthy lifestyle is a must.

Not unlike the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, the end of the Saturn astrology transit, and the self discipline that it took to achieve the sought after goals will bring a most definite reward.
