Saturn in Libra 2009 - 2012 "Why It’s Hell Being a Libra"





Today I found two articles written by Donna Cunningham that I wanted to share here. One of the articles, the first one is published at Sky Writer and the other one is published at Sasstrology.com THE place for the Astrology of Love Sex and Relationships.


Why It’s Hell Being a Libra

©2010 by Donna Cunningham, MSW

"We students of astrology today don’t have a true picture of what the sign Libra is like because most Librans born after 1942 are different from Librans born over the centuries before that. In 1942, the planet Neptune entered Libra and led a parade of the outermost planets—Saturn, Chiron, Uranus and Pluto—through that sign in fairly rapid succession."

 And the second article, "It´s Hell being a Libra Nowadays" a fable written at Sasstrology.com is the continuation of her post about this hard transit for some of us Libras and the transit of Saturn since October 2009 until 2012. Understanding WHY and WHAT is going on really makes a difference, at least for me. 

Read carefully the fabulous articles. 

"...Saturn’s reappearance last October made Libra very sad – maybe even clinically depressed. The relentless progression of years, even with the aid of cosmetic surgery, makes it so very hard to look good, and those scanty, frankly sexual modern styles just aren't appropriate on someone Libra’s age."...

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou



Phenomenal Woman




Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
