Dear Sun in Leo,

You aren’t going to hear any doom and gloom around Saturn transits on this blog. What’s coming in for Leo is a reality check. And I have the perfect story to illustrate:

I saw this actress interviewed in Oprah some years back. I wish I could remember her name, but I can’t - and it really doesn’t matter. Actors are a symbol of Leo, which rules all acting.

Anyway, the actress told a story. She was nearing forty and she’d just had a baby. She was a great looking brunette, and she worked hard to get herself back into shape. She said she was feeling great about her appearance, so she decided right then and there to audition to be the next Bond Girl.

They told her, “you’re too old”! Can you imagine how she felt? What a reality check! Because at forty, she’s only get older, not younger, no matter how good she looks. And as devastating as this experience was, can you see how it set her up favorably?

It did. Because it slapped her smack into the real world, and allowed her to take stock of her goals. For example, how about working to be the best looking forty year old actress on the planet? And forty one? And forty two?

And this may sound like a pretty sad story, but just consider the alternative. Take the Saturn transit out of the equation. Don’t want to grow up? Fine! Then you can be that sixty five year old woman that I see around my neighborhood for time to time - the one in the super tight micro mini, the tube top and the Candies. Or you can be that guy on Match.com who is 52 who says he’s interested in 24 year olds. ::smirks:: It ain’t pretty, is it?

Here’s my advice, for any and all Saturn transits. One of these very simple things will cure whatever problem you’re having:

• Grow up
• Face your fear
• Take responsibility
• Do the right thing

It’s that simple. These are the sorts of things that only hurt if you resist them. Once you set the proper course during a Saturn transit, you will have all the support you need. As long as you resist - it’ll feel like a pressure that keeps on increasing.

Back to that actress. She could have decided to chase other roles better suited to a 24 year old. But then, she’d have met with more rejection, yes? Alternately, she could choose to cultivate an air of a classy older actress. Which is what she did, by the way, and her career is going great.

So there’s another key. If you are getting REJECTED, you’re barking up the wrong tree. If you are feeling SUPPORTED, you’re all good.

As for the recent changes in your life, you are entering a period of serious growth and learning. People who support that aren’t going anywhere. People who don’t will drop off, to be replaced by more people who do.

Good luck.
