Transits
take off. I used to tell my students that this is like
watching snowflakes fall on grass. For the longest time,
the flakes fall and melt; but, suddenly, there is a point at
which they don't melt, but stick to the grass, hold and
start to build. Saturn's crossing of the 4th house cusp is
like this, a point at which, after a long time of our putting
things into action but with nothing coming back, things
suddenly catch, hold, and very slowly we begin to move
forward. We start to get some return out of our life
investment, starting with an awareness of our self and
what we have been doing; it is, however, slow—rather
like the Sun coming up—a gradual dawn.
What is great about this transit of the 4th house cusp is
that, from this point forward, everything you are doing
well accumulates for you. Your awareness grows, and
you can actually see and feel this happen from day to
day. Confidence, from this point onward, builds, and
each day brings more assurance. Saturn crossing this
point is a major turning point, astrologically, in the 30 -
year cycle.
