Even\nthose who don\u2019t know a lot about astrology cringe when Saturn is\nmentioned. Often thought of as bringing bad luck, challenges, loss\nand constriction, it has been called the Greater Malefic. What Aliza\nEinhorn does for us in her wonderful book is to show us Saturn as an\nally and a teacher, the cosmic alarm clock that tells you to \u201cwake\nup! Get up\u2026don\u2019t be late.\u201d Don\u2019t miss this opportunity to\nfind out what you need to do to become true to yourself! Saturn will\npoint out where we have strayed from the cosmic blueprint in our\nnatal charts and point us back toward our prenatal vows of who we are\nstriving to become in this lifetime. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nbook is a handy manual for those unfamiliar with astrology. In the\nfirst two chapters, Einhorn discusses astrology in general, the inner\nand outer planets and even introduces the ideas of generational\nplanets and timing in the chart. She gives an overview of the houses\nand explains how the planets \u201cdress\u201d depending on their sign and\nhouse placement. So a Taurus Sun in the 12th<\/sup> house is\nquite different than a Taurus Sun in the 5th<\/sup>. As she\nsays, \u201cyou are more than your sun sign.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Einhorn\nthen takes an in-depth look at Saturn, useful for astrology\nneophytes as well as those who are more experienced. She kicks off\nwith the comment, \u201cSaturn is your fear.\u201d I had not thought of\nSaturn that way \u2013 but had blamed all my fear on my spooky 12th<\/sup>\nhouse Pluto! Where we freeze, where we are blocked, where we are\nafraid is described by our Saturn sign. As Einhorn says, if we get\nto know our fear inside and out, Saturn will push us to get through\nit, to get over it, but creating situations where we can confront it\nand put it behind us. Thank you, Saturn! Rather than being our\nworst enemy, Saturn can be our greatest friend if we accept that it\nwill prompt us to keep evolving. And as she says, we can then\ndismantle that wall of fear brick by brick. Einhorn goes through\nseveral other Saturn facets: responsibility, showing up, work and\ncareer, mastery, obligation and duty, patience, our teachers,\nleadership, fathers, growing up. Her examples are well explained and\nexcellent for the astrological lay person who is looking for deeper\ninsight into how to understand a natal chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nnext sections showcase Saturn in each house and sign with gifts,\nchallenges, ambitions and advice for each. I got good insight into\nmy Libran Saturn from Einhorn\u2019s discussion and found much truth in\nan interpretation I had not considered before. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nbook finishes with a section on the Saturn Return. Einhorn covers\nthe first, second and third returns at ages 28, 56 and 84 (give or\ntake) with real poignance. She shows us how we die to the self we\nhave been, at the losses we have sustained, at choices we must make\nto move forward. There may be grief and morning thrown in. The\nSaturn Return is inescapable whether we are aware that the transit is\nhappening – we will feel the pressure as we shift into adulthood,\nmidlife and our elder years. We look forward and backward and assess\nwhere we are now and we move into the next phase of our lives \u2013\nwhether we want to or not! Einhorn describes this point as a rite of\npassage and a crossroads, and suggests working with an actual\ncrossroads at these initiatory times. Her recommendation is to slow\ndown, pause in the center, and then take a stand, make a decision,\nmake a choice about which way to go. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nLittle Book of Saturn is of big import and well worth having in your\nastrological library!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
