1^st House
This is an important time to take care of your physical body and to put into place structures that ensure that you are consistent with anything concerning your health. For example: a good diet, enough regular exercise, rest and sleep, positive thoughts.

You are at the beginning of a new chapter in your life. It’s vital to set clear priorities and to stick to them. You won’t have the energy to be scattered, but you can be very productive if you focus on just two or three essential goals.

2^nd House
This transit gives you a wonderful opportunity to take stock of your finances, to look at how you spend money, how you save money, what you want to achieve financially. You will need to make well thought through financial decisions during the next couple of years.

The key is to develop the new self confidence that you found while Saturn was transiting your first house and take it into the practical world to produce tangible results.

3^rd House
Saturn in this house does not allow you to scatter your energies. It’s important to structure your time and your effort. Cut out extraneous communications e.g. obsessive SMS, emails, phone calls, playing video games, or anything that is distracting you from accomplishing your goals. You’ll be able to structure the way you network and communicate more effectively. You can get rid of time-wasters and things that distract you and focus more on what is really important.

During this transit you will have the opportunity to put into practice more discipline with your health that can increase your energy and productivity.

7^th House
This transit will give your relationships an overhaul. If you are already in a relationship, if you have not been happy for a long time, this could be the time of a separation. Or, if you are prepared to put in some hard work and effort into the relationship and you can ride through the tough times, by the end of this transit your relationship can be stronger than ever before. It’s usually a make or break time.

If you are single, this can be a time to make a serious commitment and you could get into a very long relationship or even a marriage. You’ll be learning all about commitment and compromise. All relationships require compromises, but are you making too many? These will the issues that you will be addressing during this time.

It’s a time to have realistic expectations and to be prepared to study and learn in order to reach your goals. It’s a great time to publish a book, film, or any kind of training or coaching materials.

You could find yourself more attracted to your spiritual growth and to a more structured approach to this area of your life. It’s a great time to study yourself, for getting counselling or psychoanalysis.

It’s a great time to complete a project rather than to start something new. Try to tie up any loose ends so that when Saturn comes into your first house, you will be ready to start a whole new chapter in your life.
