Saturn’s been in fair-and-balanced Libra since 2009. In a matter of weeks, on October 5, it shifts into Scorpio for a two-plus year plunge through this mysterious sign.

Since August 23, we’ve been working with a new energy, and it is one that will grow in our awareness and shape our consciousness for the next three years. This is the energy of Scorpio. Threads from the Past Scorpio is a Fixed Sign (along with Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius). The last time we had an emphasis in the Fixed Signs was 2007.
