Saturn moved into Virgo on September 2, 2007 to stay for two years. When Saturn moves through an area of your chart it brings up challenges related to that sign's energy in your life. The house where Saturn transits is demanding attention, it is a contracting energy, expecting you to go inward before expanding outward.
The theme is "Get your ducks in a row and deal with this before taking on more."
The last time Saturn was in Virgo? August 1978-October 1980.
You can read more about this energy here- Saturn in Virgo and work with this via journaling and SoulCollage process here Virgo Journal PDF.
Capricorn New Moon SoulCollage® challenge:
It's time to build a Capricorn SoulCollage® card, use this as a guideline, but let your inner healer out to play...
Stretch, Risk, or Die.
A stretch is something you'll to do even if you're a little scared. If you're really nervous about doing something, then it is a risk. A die is something you would absolutely not do. The die is always what we secretly fear [it is our heart's desire]. -Rhonda Britton author of Fearless Living
Winter is a time of inward reflection!!
We meet the 10th House, Capricorn and Saturn, The Builder. Earth.
Cancer is the gate in, Capricorn the gate out. Duality, black and white thinking has no place to sit in the Essential Self. One knows she is part of a divine tribe called Humanity. When one accepts their divinity there is peace from within, the gate is open, there is no need for defense. There is harmony. There is balance.
Capricorn represents your tribe and the social responsibility you bring to the table as a human being. Capricorn represents the archetypal force in the 10th house of work and career birthed from your creative passionate spirit. Your divinity, anything else is empty promises.
Capricorn represents your skeletal structure- the bones of who you are. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. In alchemy Saturn is the metal lead before it is transformed and transmuted into gold, bringing deeper meaning to the phrase “Get the lead out.”
I am the One who Builds.

Shadow energies: “Where do I lose power and why?” Look for times in your life where you go into fear, contract, leave the body, go into dream time. This indicates a lack of earth, a lack of Capricorn. Afflicted energy. Soul loss.
