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.
Aries -the first sign of the zodiac marks the beginning of a new year- it's fiery action oriented.
Partnering with the Spring Equinox its a time of Intentions- honing long range planning and goals. Leadership. Pioneering. The path of individualization.
Power is the ability to use energy.
At this lunation it's time to ask:
Who are you and where do you send your energy?
What are your gifts?
How is your childhood conditioning affecting you now?
What is Power?
Are you afraid of your own power?
How do you give your power to another?
How do you steal power from another?
Ego is force. It is important to know that Aries and the first house/doorway is representative of our lower nature, the egoic self.
Fiery Aries is passionate, but too often our Aries is fueled by anger, sadness, grief, guilt. We defend to protect our fragile state. If triggered just know there is a 'little me" someplace in the equation. SoulCollage® this energy, give it a voice.
Mars rules Aries. Unhealed it represents a “me first' attitude- war, vanity, anger, impatience. Mars and Venus are planetary pairs that work together- the sacred masculine and feminine.
Mars in the body is represented by the 3rd chakra- the seat of power, the will. Venus is represented by the 4th chakra, the seat of love.
The lower nature of ego must transcend into the heart. The heart creates a bridge to the higher centers. Heart disease is the number one killer in America. As a society we live from our lower three chakras, and stop short of the heart.  The bridge is broken, and war breaks out within you and around you.
The heart center is responsible for mediating the energies coming and going through the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bodies. When one is connected to deep intimacy with self and others there is passion and power born from moving through and transmuting the anger, pain and suffering. Divine Love. The balanced ego merges with soul energy = power.
