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.

Taurus New Moon SoulCollage® challenge:
Earthy Taurus is ruled by the sign Venus. The key phrase for Taurus is "What do I have?" Money, personal resources, security, survival skills and self-esteem.
In Taurus we like to have things around us that give us comfort and reflect who we are. We are concerned with getting results. This signs builds. In order to build one must have a firm foundation. One cannot build their dreams on a garbage pile of low self worth.
In your birth chart this sign indicates your sense of values, self-esteem, self-worth. It also can represent where you are locked up in materiality. If the stock market is good- they say the bulls are running. If not they say it is a bear market.
When Saturn passed through Taurus (1998-2001) the market was bullish- remember the .com companies, the hoarding from the millennium scare. This is Taurus energy manifesting in the outer world. Here are some themes then for a Taurus SoulCollage® Card:
I am the One who Attracts and Magnetizes. As the archetypal force of Venus I come from the heart-center. Keynote- Inner beauty, friendliness, sensuality, love, earthy Goddess energy.
I am the One who is Worthy and Self-assured. Relates to self-esteem and Self-Worth issues. In your Taurus house and energy you are keenly aware and meet your own personal needs, setting appropriate boundaries, strong values, determination and self-acceptance.
I am the One who is Reliable. I am resourceful and comfortable with my abundance. Represents the energy of accumulation such as wealth, material comforts, ownership, possessions.
I am the One who Creates Art. In the sign Taurus we develop the physical arts (sculpture, pottery), singing (Taurus rules the throat), and art appreciation.
I am the One who is Sensual. Energy related to the senses- Sensuality, massage, physical comfort, aromas, taste.
I am the One who is the Earth Goddess. Enjoyment of Life on Earth-contentment, appreciation, gratitude, simple pleasures, rapport with nature, satisfaction.
I am the One who Builds. Through my resourcefulness I create a solid foundation, persistence, progressing step-by-step, thoroughness, perseverance.
I am the One who is reliable- patience, dependable, trustworthy and steadfast.
I am the One who Speaks. Taurus in the body relates to 3rd, 4th and 5th chakra. Solarplex, heart and throat. If I know who I am with a healthy sense of self, then I can clearly speak my truth without harm.  In this sign you'll face issues with restoring health- look to the chakras. coughs, throat, chin and neck, thyroid gland, voice and vocal cords.
Shadow Issues of Taurus
I am the One who Hoards. I hold a "just-in-case" mind-set of there is never enough______. I am the One who Obsesses.
I am the One who Posses in relationship. Again a hoarding mentality with jealousy Issues of possession and lack of trust in relationships and material wealth. Issues of control.
I am the One who is stubborn, fixated and rigid in my thinking. Look for patterns of Inflexibility- stubbornness, attachment, resistance to change, possessiveness, holding dogmatic opinions, stagnation.
