Saturn in Uttara Bhadrapada ~ Show serious intelligence

Saturn, the planet of karma and boundaries, is in Pada Two of the benevolent and spiritual nakshatra Uttara Bhadrapada from June 7th to August 18th.

Uttara’s name translates to ‘beautiful left foot’, and its influence brings you an intelligent and questioning quality, with a focus on the finer things in life. Saturn gives you a serious and mature attitude to work and ambition, and Pada Two of Uttara relates to Virgo navamsa, the underlying chart of relationship and spirituality. You have an analytical and hardworking attitude, which complements Saturn’s practical nature, where you integrate different sides of your career strategy.

Focusing your efforts saves time and energy, and studying goes especially well, whereas as a teacher, you learn as much as your students. You may also analyze your relationship and come to a new understanding based on clearer communication – this is a good time to set out some long-term ground rules. Combine your natural intelligence with Saturn’s ambition and you can become an authority in your chosen field. Uttara’s Shakti, or special power, for Bringing Rain, however, sees you cultivating new ideas, and the underlying Mercurial energy sees you doing deals with great commercial flair.

Saturn receives the influence of fiery Mars all through this transit and there is tension between doing a proper job and your desire to move on quickly. June 18th to 24th in particular may find you under pressure of a deadline, so be careful not to become hasty or careless. Though you have to contend with authority, insist on keeping to your highest standards and you will be proven right in the end.
