Saturn in Leo: feeling ambitious?
(July 16, 2005 - September 2, 2007)
When Saturn is in Leo, you may be feeling very proud of your abilities. And if you are in the position to exert your executive authority or have inalienable control over others, exerting your power in dictatorial ways can turn a leader into a tyrant. Over the next few years you may be obsessed with your professional career growth, and find pursuing your career goals more enjoyable than going out and having pointless fun. You want an agenda, a purpose, even for your leisure pastimes, which you will also take more seriously. If you do have talent, expect it to be criticized to the bone, and you can also be your own worst judge and restrict your creative ability by not sharing if you think you are shy of perfection.

So what's the INTENSE and relentless focus on perfection and ambition really covering up? Defensiveness. The more you insist and demand, the more you are being defensive and detaching from direct feeling or participating, and trying to hide an ego that is scared of not measuring up, not being good enough, which can show even more if you let your guard down. It's business and opening your heart to anything can feel threatening. If you are so defensive that you withhold your love, this transit of Saturn can block your outward flow of love to the extent that it breaks your heart, and can even result in a physical blockage in your heart.

Saturn in Leo is in what is called its DETRIMENT. This is because Saturn rules Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo, so in Leo, Saturn works against its own best interests-- especially when maintaining POWER is at stake. In LEO, Saturn is dignified, regal, and looks out at the crowd from a higher regal stance. Pomp and royal splendor can surround major leaders as they sit on their thrones, safe within their conservative positions, and secure behind their status, masks, and costumes. Yet, all the regal splendor can be concealing the true personality and leaders may really feel like small children behind the mask of leadership, unable to truly connect and insensitive to the feelings of individuals, caught up in seeing the outer superficial reality, but not able to build from their heart or true inner center or love, because they are limited and constrained by the image they project to the public and are busy playing the role. Saturn in Leo is all about the show and setting the stage, while the heart is engaged only as a prop.
