A special client shares her feelings about her “Saturn Return to Leo”

Thank you for sharing with us Joan—-I’m sure there are many who’ll thank you, too! 🙂

Dear Daija,

 We have spoke many times, and I would like to share with you my thoughts on “surviving” Saturn in my sign of Leo.

During the past few weeks, I have been “digesting” what the past 2.5 years have meant to me.  I have evalauated all areas of my life, tracking what happened since Saturn entered Leo, July 16 2005.  I think sometimes 2.5 years can pass with no notice.  As if one could say “where did the time go?”  Some people can exprience that length of time without so much as a rearangement of their furniture.  But when I look over the past 2.5 years, I am amazed at the changes and just how “far” I’ve come.   And, although I’ve just experienced the “butt kicking” of a lifetime, I must admit that I am much better off than I was on 07/15/2005.  Saturn did NOT leave me where he found me. And, I am very grateful for Saturn and all the work and all the changes. 

Saturn was able to “look” at my life, and “see” what was working, and what was not.  Assigned the same task, you and I would probably not have been able to discern the “dead from the sleeping” or the healthy and not so healthy areas of my life.  But Saturn – and the “shakedown” (Tower card) – knew what to do.  He seperated what I needed to keep and what needed to “go.” 

Today I feel lighter, calmer, happier, and more prepared than every before in my life. Also, I know that the things in my life that have remained are truly “mine.”  “Friends” who really weren’t friends are gone.  “Possessions” which weren’t necessary for my growth are gone.  What is left is what I need.  What is left is healthy and viable.  What is left is truly “mine.”

I feel like a Marine who just left basic training — fit and secure.  Saturn did Saturn’s job. Physically, I am healthier and fitter than I have been for years, and look younger and better, too.  Financially things are much more in control, and we are quickly heading towards a TOTALLY debt free life.  The few relationships that survived are wonderful.  My needs are few, burdens are lighter, and I am able to be a light and source for others in a much more powerful and healthy way than ever. 

Although I am grateful for the experience, I have to say I would not look forward to going through it again.  I’ll swear that every single day it was “something.”  But there was truly a method to the madness, and a point to all the work.  What I gained was priceless.  Not to pat myself on the back, but one of the reasons for the good outcome is that somewhere along the line, I became a willing participant.  As if Saturn and I were partners in a project.  When I quit fighting the river, and swam with the current, we really got somewhere together.

I thought you’d want to read this, so you might pass it on.

Love and light,

Joan
