Is this supposed to be an especially rough year for Virgos?

[murielm99]

I don't know enough about astrology to be able to determine this for myself.

I did have a hard year this last year, beginning just before my birthday last year, August 31, 2008. I had health problems, work problems and general anxiety. I went into counseling for the anxiety.

The last few days, including today, have been especially difficult. I may have a difficult situation to look forward to in March as well.

Does anyone know? Thanks in advance. And any calming vibes would be welcome, friends.

1. Hi, Muriel. I can't answer, but I will send you energy to help you...

to ground.

The issue may not be for Virgos in general but rather just your chart. Hopefully someone who is able to help will chime in.

I'm sorry that things have been so hard for you. :hug:

2. Yup Saturn is in Virgo

Saturn represents in part, the archetypal authority figure (aka the cosmic parole board.)

I have a funny friend who used to pretend to embody Saturn. He would say in a really gruff voice and his index finger raised,"Young lady. . .you have done all the things you ought not to have done. You have not done all the things you ought to have done. . . "

That's pretty much what a Saturn transit can feel like.

On the upshot, Saturn can assist one with dietary changes, more efficient work habits, and one can determine their true priorities for optimum manifestation.

Saturn has been in Virgo since September of 2007. It'll ingress into Libra at the very end of October until April of '10 and remain in Virgo until very late July of '10. Then it'll stay in Libra for roughly 2 & 1/2 years.

It won't return to Virgo for about 25-6 years after that.

Chin up.

It's all about refinement and focus really.

Time for us all to figuratively roll up our cyber sleeves is all.

best.

3. Thanks.

Nothing seems to work for me lately. I am doing everything to make my situation better.

Some relief in October sounds great.
