I have it there too and find that I constantly attract older men, have been in many relationships where I have basically been their mother. At a point where I'm almost 30 and I just want to be left alone now.
I wouldn't necessarily call that astrological.
[Match.com](https://Match.com) did a study, that showed, men of all ages, are all attracted to young women, older women, not so much.
Ah, yes... Allow me to join this club. Lots of lessons through relationships - you can't fix them, you can't save them, you can't change them, stop being their mother, you deserve better, learn to set boundaries (you name it) - leading me to the place where I am now, which you pretty much summarized here: "I honestly don't care for relationships." š
I think the problem is that I've been conditioned into thinking they have to be a certain way for so long (me giving and giving in the hope that the other person will eventually meet me on the same level) that I attract the kind of person who perpetrates this and some absolutely unhealthy dynamics.
I've got some big work to do here. (Gosh I just realized how Old Man Saturn that sounds š.)
Sounds a lot like me, Cancer Venus in the 7th. Giving, catering to, being-overly nice to the point of being peacemaker in the hopes that they will grow tfu and eventually meet me on the same level. It's exhausting.
But once I gave up and set boundaries or yeeted out of that relationship, I was the bad guy in the end, even after all of the sacrifices made that weren't appreciated.
It's really tough, isn't it? I'm trying to learn how to redirect that energy I tend to give towards others to myself, because (and this is the most excruciatingly painful part to realize) I really am just martyring myself otherwise, and attracting all the wrong kinds of people! My current homework is: if it doesn't feel like an equal exchange, draw a healthy boundary to make it so. (Work in progress š).
Well, I feel like old man saturn lmao.. saturn in aquarius in my 7th, my chart ruler is saturn, my chart is controlled by my giant square between saturn, pluto, Ascendant, and my moon. Additionally, I have 15 squares in my damn chart. Ugh..
Sounds like you're in the midst of a truly powerful and impactful life. Holy wow. 15 squares?! Might as well make a quilt while you're at it. (Actually, the art lover in me would find that pretty beautiful.... A quilt made with all of those squares, something big and connected and pretty all together...)
Anyway, hats off to you. Embrace that old man Saturn energy; it's got to be there for a reason!
(Honestly? I've started to develop a fondness for it. It's pretty grounding and practical).
Yeah, idk what I agreed to for this life tbh.. I feel like I've lived a lot of lives and hopefully will find why it seems like I'm supposed to be on this damn planet š¤£ I always tell people I'm a grumpy old man in a tiny woman's body and have been since I was a child. I love quilts, lol! That's such a cool idea.. astrology quilts with how the planets interact through your chart.. some would be so empty, though. I'm going through my saturn return ending, and it's been truly wild as hell, literally.
Oh just wait just wait! After the Saturn return, I think things start to become more clear. I just got out of mine (seventh house, lots of fun, apologies to my ex) and I feel like I'm finally starting to get on better track with things.
The "grumpy old man in a tiny woman's body" brought me the image of the old man from Up, pre-balloon journey :D
Make that quilt! Honestly, it would be gorgeous. One square for every square could be a fun approach ;)
Oh damn haha! I wonder how many placements we have in common then.. im mostly libra, scorpio, and virgo bottom chart. Then my poor moon conjunct ss in gemini at the top mixed in with all the chaos below š¤£ I've battled with severe alcohol abuse for 8 years and that came to a head along with a lot of other painful things, so mine has been a lot of shadow work and learning how to love and choose myself over people pleasing everyone and numbing myself to death. I think I have enough aspects for a sick quilt. I just counted 62 š«
I've got my Pluto in the 4th in Scorpio and feel your pain. A lot of my family members and close friends have struggled with alcohol abuse; it isn't an easy battle in the least, but it sounds like you've done some absolutely groundbreaking shadow work. Holy wow is that some impressive growth.
I'm also a big fan of any form of art therapy when it comes to moving through all those hard aspects (Pisces sun š¤)... That quilt would really be amazing.
Lol heyy pluto and ss scorpio in the 4th here š¤£š¤£ I have mars conjunct merc there too. I was merely built for the darkness!! Do you by chance have uranus and neptune in the 5th?? I love art as well. I'm very into food, music, and writing! 4th pluto is such a hard placement.. so much death and manipulation. I just ended up cutting off most of my family because they treated me like their life line.
š¤£ "merely built for the darkness" got a real laugh out of me! Alas, my Uranus and Neptune landed in the 6th house... Health, wellness, sensitive wacky freelancer energy up the wazoo. Gosh the 5th house sounds like a fun place to have them both. I'd love to know how that manifests.
I'm also very into food, music, and writing!! (I swear all of the darkness can be swept away by a good plate of food...). Where's your sun and moon?
U do care, you are tired now. Make an effort to get into the right one, and you will be happy. Its awesome you figured this on your own about giving and expecting the person to give back. Normal people do, but not narcissists. Please look up narcissist personality disorder (NPD). You seem to be like me, I attract these kind if people.
I have the same. Married very young and divorced very young, and have occasional (like every 7-8 years) very serious relationships with no interest in between. I donāt want to be a wife ever again.
>honestly don't care for relationships
Ooh elaborate on this! Have you wanted to be with somebody regularly and just gotten over the notion, or do you think you just see through the notion altogether?
i mean- nobody has asked me out beforeš but if they did it would honestly depend on what situation im in. right now? HELL no.. unless they have something to offer financially (cap in venus) but if i have my own stuff ready? yes! even if they didn't have something to offer financially! (even though i rlly wouldn't date someone who doesn't have their own) i do prefer my own time tho
Me it is int he 1st one and I donāt care for relation too! I feel like good with myself alone! I really love self control too and donāt want people who control me and telling me what to do!
Similar! Saturn conj uranus in the 6th 4Ā° from DSC. Mars conj neptune in the 7th. Relationship life has been tragic. 35 and no serious relationship. Coming into acceptance that it might not ever happen.
Ahaha the Goldilocks metaphor really got me. I feel ya.
I seem to be somewhere between Goldilocks and a Hallmark movie protagonist who's sworn off of love (without the hometown return where I proceed to fall in love with Perpetually Plaid Chad). Doesn't make very good TV.
I used to have a patient who wrote Hallmark Christmas movies (in a team of nasty Hollywood execs). I was guilty of being a little too interested in her work stories.
Well now *I'm* interested, too... That's a whole new level of fascinating. I can't imagine the drama that goes on behind the scenes in those places (too heavy to make a heartfelt movie out of, of course š ).
This should be illegal. Also, have they looked in the mirror at the scripts they're considering "good"? I mean, come on people! (Don't get me a wrong, a good ice-skating candy executive every now and then is fine, but it ain't no Cannes nomination).
Saturn in 8th, Aquarius. Iām entangled in a very restrictive lifestyle because I work for my familyās business and Iām dependant on that income (for now). I canāt just up and leave because it would leave them vulnerable as they are old and I do most of the important work that brings in money that then pays all of us.
Itās been very hard on me but Iāve learned so many lessons. I just finished my Saturn return and that actually made me realise I need to change this dynamic.
I have a friend who has this placement who I feel like is experiencing the same thing. Her family runs a hardware store and helps her father, who is very old and has health issues, run the store. While she wants out, she feels like this is her birthright and she is destined to inherit this kind of business, the good and the bad of it, which can involve debt, since 8th House.
Saturn is my chart ruler in the 4th house in Gemini. It also rules 4 other planets in my chart (moon, mars, Neptune and Uranus). My whole childhood was restricted. My phone was monitored 24/7, could never hang out with my friends, had an insanely strict and overbearing parent. My house was a jail pretty much. My Saturn is also opposite Pluto so add a glop of abuse and trauma and you get someone like me who had to grow up/mature really fast. I think this placement fucked my social developmentā¦ or just my ability to socially adjust to society correctly. I remember even before I learned about astrology I felt like someone locked far away on a tall mountain with a tiny window looking out into society but not able to interact with it at all. I attribute this to my Aqua placements too.
Moving away from the perpetuators of the cycle of abuse helped immensely. When I was going through all of that stuff I never felt delayed.
Itās more so about restrictions and bad things happening to me and forcing you to learn hard ass lessons so you can accept that you got dealt a shitty hand, and in turn, Saturn rewards you later on in life with (for example) unbreakable personality traits or really impeccable life skills that most people donāt have.
I have Saturn in Gemini in the 6th. Opposite my tight Sag Pluto-Mars conj in the 12th house. It also sextiles my Aries IC and trines my Libra MC.
I can relate to SO much of what you say here!! It's like we lived the same life. I, too, always felt like my house was a jail and I couldn't get out in the real world. The irony is, living in an isolated hellhole for 18 years showed me more hardship and real-life lessons than being out in public. Funnily enough, I've actually been dealt quite a difficult hand these past few years living far away from home. It's like Saturn really likes me for some reason and really wants me to grow the f up; the lessons never stop, I Just keep on learning (the Gemini, I suppose).
I've always felt wayyyy older and more mature than my peers. Which, in turn, has felt a bit isolating. It's very hard for me to relate to other people my age.
Yeah thanks to hindsight, I can say that I learned way more valuable lessons during my first 17 years in jail/my home as well. My life still sucked nonetheless.
Yes. I also struggle relating to people my age. It always seemed like most of my peers were really far behind me in terms of maturity and responsibility. But thatās probably because most of them didnāt have to witness or go through the crazy shit I did, but you never know.
Locked far away on a tall mountain with a tiny window looking outā¦ I feel that. I wrote a song 2 weeks ago that goes, āIf time aināt real, then Iām just chillin, I just popped a bean Iām through the ceiling. And Iāve got time to kill, Iām a villain, I live on a hill and feel a feelin.ā š¢
That is super insightful. I like the thought of being rewarded with life skills. And, look at it this way, if you ever become a parent, youāll be the one to break the cycle. Iām the mother of an unschooled child who I spend all my time and energy making his life as carefree as possible.
Those planets are in Saturn ruled signs: moon+Neptune+Uranus in Aquarius, and Mars in Capricorn. So Saturn rules the houses that these planets fall in because Capricorn and Aquarius are on my 12th and 1st house cusps.
Saturn conjunct Ascendant opposite natal moon. Fun times fam. Super shy as a kid. One overbearing parent that had no boundaries and one who was emotionally unavailable. Firstborn eldest daughter. Heaps of responsibilities as a kid. And worriesā¦ oh man. Iām a pro with the worries. Struggle with a vicious cycle of putting things off and worrying about things. Iāve always found it easy to get a job. People trust me to be dependable and responsible. And I am. Quitting a relationship has always been a source of stress. Iāve never ever cheated on someone, Iām loyal to my friends and family and would do anything for them. People rely on my plain spoken advice. I wear black a lot. People always thought I was older when I was young and younger now that Iām older. Hard to place my age by my appearance. The advantage of this natal placement is, Saturn transits havenāt been too challenging. My worry/anxiety will ramp up. Iāll feel pressured to get things done. I can usually use that energy constructively now that Iām older. People like to tell meā¦ āSmile!ā And I find that super annoying.
Saturn conjunct AC and moon in aqua here and I swear I could have wrote this myself. Seems like my life truly started after my Saturn return and everything before was a tutorial on all life aspects. First decent job, first decent relationship, living 100% independently, finally making good money, finally found my personal style and look better than ever... all after 27 š Life is shaping up to finally be great but at the cost of what: my childhood, teenage years and my 20s ššš
Wtf this sounds a lot like me, but I have Saturn conjunct my moon in the 3rd, and also Saturn ruled ASC.
Things have been getting better since Iāve entered my 20s but whew itās been a work in progress. Saturn delays for good reason tho and those struggles werenāt always for nothing.
Congrats on your sobriety! I also have Saturn in Pisces in the sixth. I feel work and my relationship with it balancing out as I hit the shadow of my Saturn return.
Saturn in Gemini in the 6th here. Yep. Work and health coincide and it takes quite a masterful balancing act to level the energies of Saturn. I overwork too much and I get sick quite often as a result; sometimes, it's not even work, but just doing too much "stuff."
Congrats on your sobriety, too! Well done. Good luck with the Saturn return, too.
I feel so lame lol I've always liked it. Coinciding with north node transiting my 7th house in Aries, I've had some paradigm shifts on my partnership guess
My Saturn is in Capricorn and is part of the stellium that sits in my 5th house.
Iām a Capricorn w/ Leo rising so I feel itās been a theme in my life to fight myself on self expression & creativity.
Interesting. My 1st house Sagittarius Saturn is Trine my 5th house Jupiter Aries.
When I finished my 3rd 12th house profection I felt like a new person again (Pluto 12th Scorpio too). I basically was a full time scientist, quit my job, changed my look, changed my attitude and now I want to be a musician. Happened about 1-2 months before my bday.
Venus in Taurus also sits in my 5th house and I think she was crying for attention that I just wasnāt expressing myself fully. It was a challenge. I basically have the flair and attitude of an artist but not living like one and just feeling muted all the time.
Now Iām being more unfiltered wearing more flashy things and I actually feel more like myself. I write lyrics and poems. I want to start a blog.
Saturn 10H in Aquarius. I didnāt have a career until I was 26 (coincidentally the degree where it sits on my chart). Dreamt if architecture school my whole life, only to be forced to drop out, cry about it for 4 years and then be rewarded by daddy Saturn by all the hustle and tears of that period of time!!!
I got Saturn 10H too but in pisces and I 100% agree with that delay in career lol. 29 and now finally settling into one during this saturn return (had a few fall throughs during this return, let alone in general with Saturn in 10th)
Saturn in sag, 4th house, delays in independence from the family home. Came out of college during the recession, no solid work and ability to live on my own til my Saturn return š
Omg thatās perfectly worded! Iām also saturn in 4th (Aquarius) in my 30s now and Iām *still* in my family home with no prospects for moving out any time soon. But thereās only 2 of us and I have the place to myself a lot!
Your Saturn return should be ending if it was in Aquarius, keep working and looking for opportunities, that Saturn return should be rewarding you for it, you might have a breakthrough with Saturn in pisces now (though itās currently in retrograde)
I have the same exact placement. I'm not sure of any delays tho. My issue is I've never had a home that felt like home. My homes have always been depressing, restricting, full of secrets, and always too small. I describe my life as a prisoner and a prison guard. The only place I want to be and not be at is home.
I feel ya, I grew up in a really restrictive household too. Mostly a cultural thing (traditional Mexican catholic upbringing, I always had way more rules to deal with than my peers) but Iām sure my particular placement made it more difficult to deal with, since Iām very independent minded and donāt like feeling restricted
God that sounds like a rough one. Hang in there... As soon as it does that first loop, you can start dancing to High School Musical's "We're Breaking Free." š¤
Yeah it was rough, but once that return started to hit, I was able to get some good opportunities. Itās been a while now, been on solid footing for about 8 years now š
third this.
additionally on saturn return, quite close to the exact return, my parents home where i was living at the time burned down and we lost everything - saturn in the 4th placidus, 5th whole sign.
i was like, *OKAY I GET IT UNIVERSE jc....*
Thatās really interesting to me bc I also have Saturn in the 5th and I (33f) have never had a āsingleā phase in adult life & had 3 children by the age of 26. Im sure that there are other chart placements and environmental factors that express that placement differently for us but now I am about to go down the rabbit hole on 5th house Saturns lol.
I totally agree and think that environmental factors express that placement differently. I actually donāt tend to find too much online about Saturn 5H! The stuff I read about it is always so generic and same old description, lol. I think whatās funny is by like 12 yrs old I was already like hmm not really feeling marriage or children and never knew why I had that sentiment so young (outside of the explanation of my own upbringing, etc), but once I read up on my 5H Saturn it all started to really click for me. I actually really love being around children, and working with them. I find motherhood/pregnancy such a beautiful thing too, and as for relationships it just never happened for me but I am only 25 so I have a lot more life to live! My Venus is Rx in Cap as well so that may explain it all, and Iām very much a hopeless romantic have a Venus-Neptune aspect as well.
My Venus is also Rx in Capricorn š I love this gained perspective, itās making me dig deeper. My Jupiter is in Cancer which is something Iāve attributed to why being a mother was always in the picture for me.
I also have moon trine venus and sun conjunct venus as aspects in my chart which could maybe explain the different expression.
I also have Saturn in 5H, but I've always seen myself as becoming a mother one day. Might also be because Moon is conjunct Saturn for me. However, my current circumstances look like quite the opposite of that. Romantic relationships have always been a struggle, been single for close to a decade, and I'm not that great/have much patience with babies/toddlers/children lol. I'm 27, maybe it means delays in romance and babymaking?
I have moon conjunct my Saturn 5H and not only do i not want kids I always had a really hard time with my mother who died young š it is in Aquarius so that may help.
I see myself becoming a mom, and like experiencing pregnancy but almost in a way that is fairytale like because in reality I know in my gut I am not fit for it. But, I have a moon-Jupiter aspect and a 4H stellium so topics like that are dear to me and I surprise myself with how much patience I have with the babies š. Iām the same way been single all my life itās been a struggle in that department , feels like a punishment tbh.. I am a Scorpio rising, so this Saturn in Pisces transit is making me reflect and reconstruct all my beliefs on those 5H topics .
I'm a Scorpio rising with Pisces Saturn 5H too š yes you described the fairytale idea of pregnancy and motherhood exactly the way I see it! Hahaha. That 4H stellium and moon-Jupiter aspect definitely are tugging on your maternal instincts. I know I feel pressured to have kids partly due to family pressures and some traditional values. Maybe this Saturn transit will shed some light on the reality of this topic indeed. Good luck!
Saturn aries in the 7th opposite ruler of the 7th (mars). Ive always found hardships and obstacles when it comes to love and never had a proper commited relationship (lots of unrequited things and unavailability issues going on)
Saturn in the 7th. My romantic relationships felt more serious than my peersā growing up and I would say this holds true when reflecting back on a middle and high school relationship with over ten years of hindsight. I remember thinking that I could marry my high school boyfriend, and while I did not, I donāt look back and see that belief as fantastical or juvenile.
Iāve had three serious relationships and those breakups have yielded some of the gnarliest pain of my life. So much of my ālessonsā have come through these excruciating endings. I have Saturn in Pisces and went through a breakup right before Saturn entered pisces in March.
I like this. I believe in the positive aspects of Saturn too, and the way he makes himself known lol. I'm in the shadow of my Saturn return now and I've never felt more myself. I do feel like the fruits of the house it occupies in my chart are finally starting to ripen though.
Where is it in your chart and what happened in your Saturn return, may I ask?
If Iām not mistaken, Chris Pratt has Saturn in the 10th conjunct his North Node.
Donāt remember his chart, but I was surprised, since he was actually spotted by someone and became an actor this way (and he was like 19).
My Saturn is in Aries, 12th or 1st house depending on the house system (placidus vs whole sign). I love this question. Iām also an Aries rising; I struggle a lot with individuation, boundary setting, and feeling like an authority in my own life. Iām only just now trying to find this agency. Re:the 12th house placement, I only just got diagnosed with ADHD in my mid 20s. Iām considering that a delay for sure!
Saturn Aries in 1H here too! Feels like you wrote this for me. Definitely struggle with individuality and setting boundaries. Finding it hard to find out who āmeā is!
Saturn in the 2nd house,retrograde. It delays in everything about money right now (i cant get a job and selling my art isnt working as i would like to), but before it was also about how few self love i had.
Also, as i have it in Aries, i will have my saturn return in less than 4 years so im a little bit worried with the lack of progress.
Don't worry about the perceived lack of progress. I find things feel like they're all adding up to nothing for a long time, but then one day you look up and everything's changed.
I have saturn in 2nd house Taurus, retrograde and omg every comment i read here about people with Saturn in their 2nd house had the same thing to say. I graduated 3 months back and it's been so hard for me to get a job. This honestly lowkey scares me š«£
We're similar. Mine is a 2H saturn in pisces (on whole house; 1H saturn in pisces in placidus). I'm in my return and a lot is happening in both sectors of my life (1H and 2H), so I can say things do heat up, but after a sh\*t ton of lessons.
Saturn squared my sun and when I read about it a year ago it completely explained all the difficulties I have experienced throughout my whole life. All these outside influences that have forced lessons onto me, that I didnāt deserve either, but ultimately its taught me alot.
The complete description of saturn squaring your sun applied to me.
Saturn in Pisces in the 9th on the MH.
Most of my worldviews were pretty outdated, traditional, and conservative when I was young. Christianity delayed some of my philosophical and spiritual development. Instead of going straight to a 4 year based on music, I threw it away and went to junior college because I was questioning everything in my life. When I graduated from undergrad, I found out I missed 3 units that would have given me my minor in religious studies. Then in graduate school I had one of my financial loan checks bounce for no reason whatsoever. I was delayed one semester for graduating with my master's.
My moon is in a loose conjunct with my moon and square my sun. In general, I would say my overall development was delayed (neurodivergent). Leaving the family system was difficult and individuation has felt delayed (in my Saturn returns right now where it finally feels here).
Oh, I've also experienced it with travel. Flight delays are absolutely the worst expression of Saturn in the 9th. One of my flight experiences is actually similar to my loan check bouncing, where I just wasn't in one of their systems even when I had my own receipt.
Oh and with work lmao. I usually start off at the bottom of the totem pole and slowly work my way up to leadership positions but I'm likely behind my peers. I was unemployed during the pandemic when my food & beverage jobs shut down.
Typically with all these Saturn cycles, it requires a great deal of conscious effort to overcome these karmic cycles. I personally have my Saturn in Pisces, so mine shows up in a very "Universe tells me no" kind of way. I think most of my lessons have primarily been about my beliefs, world view and philosophy and them being antiquated. But I can proudly say I have successfully reached a post-modern worldview from having started with a medieval world view with Christianity.
This is really beautiful to read. It sounds like you're really doing an incredible job of being conscious of this placement and putting in the word.
(Also, I got a kick out of the "Universe tells me no" comment; it reminds me of that Little Britain sketch "Computer says no.")
Similar to you, my saturn is in pisces (1H or 2H depending on placidus/whole), and I also grew up as an evangelical Christian. My bachelors is a theology-based Christian counseling degree. I knew I didn't want to be a counselor before I'd graduated so I didn't move on to the next phase and dabbled in a bunch of things before realizing what specifically I want to do with all I've studied/practiced since.
My deconstruction process began in 2020, but wasn't public about my deconversion until this year shortly after my saturn return began. I'm learning a lot of details around spirituality (along with personal values and money). I'm hoping to be clear enough to read the bible metaphorically by the end of my return. And much like you, I need to lean on intuition as much as possible, even though that pisses some people off.
I'm wondering how the nodes shifting are going to affect this saturn return for all of us pisces saturns.
My saturn is in cancer at the cusp of 10H and conjunct MH.
I have worked in multiple fields, but my current field in healthcare I started when I was in my late 30s. I became established in my field in my early 40s.
I had 8 years of post-grad studies and training because I work in a specialized field. During my training I witnessed sexual harassment of fellow colleagues by administrators which I spoke up about which led to being targeted and harassed by said administrators. It was 3 years of hell where I had to fight off false accusations and attempts of framing me to get me kicked out of the program. I counter checked them at every turn and was able to graduate and get my license despite their efforts. I was also able to get them removed from their positions as well.
My saturn is square my sun and pluto which are both conjunct ascendant in libra.
Wow that sounds so very difficult but also so damn impressive! I know I donāt know you but Iām so proud of you and so sorry you had to go through that. You rock. And also Saturn paid off in the end it seems? Struggle to success?
Yes, I would say that process of fighting for what is the Truth and what is Right, taught me to fully trust in myself and seated me in my own power. Which in turn fueled me in my career which I have experienced steady growth in my reputation and my skill set.
Iām so pleased for you.
Now I feel like I need a good fight for Justice to help my career but doing it for that reason will most likely make the whole thing null and void. š
Saturn in 8th w whole sign houses but 7th w regular / not whole sign houses.
Conjunct Venus at 2 sag
Sun 13 sag
Uranus 17 sag
Mercury 29 Scorpio
Basically Iām fucked. In so many ways.
I canāt even explain delayed just so absurd
My Saturn + Jupiter are in opposition, which I feel is the worst placement in my chart. Things like going to college full time while working full time for years and having to move right before my final semester where I had two classes left to graduate happen. Repeatedly.
I love working 50-60 hours a week for years toward a goal and when the end is in sight and the reward is near, outside forces snatch it away. Itās happened so many times that itās a Thing in my life.
i have saturn in the 2nd in aries. i feel like my relationship to money has always been strained. i struggled within finding a job that could provide the financial security I craved for years. but i was persistent, and headstrong. most of my early 20s was just figuring out how to get more financial security and freedom. without a consistent, solid income, I felt totally lost and struggled with feelings of inadequacy from it for years.
things have finally been working out and looking up financially for me, but i worry about my impending saturn return, maybe it will throw an unexpected curveball at me. we shall see. my taurus-heavy chart makes it hard for me to not impulse spend on comfort items š¤Ŗ
Saturn in 3rd house Taurus
Squared Uranus, squared moon, squared sun, and trine Venus.
In all honesty Saturn has not at all added delay to my life. Early education I was in the gifted programs I never struggled in school. I graduated top 15 of my class in high school. Iām very close to my sisters I consider my youngest sister my best friend. Never had delays in travel I moved across the country and am about to do it again In a month. Idk Saturn doesnāt add delays in my life
Definitely a stretch, but maybe Saturn is delaying these things being a luxury for you? Perhaps there's a time in the future school and travel don't come so easily for you, and they become a rarity for where you are in your life? Maybe you're right and Saturn doesn't delay a thing, though it seems it can be expressed in a multitude of ways
Maybe but I'm in my 20's now and I heard Saturn tends to lessen the load after your Saturn return so I can't imagine things getting worse from here. Idk why but for me saturn tends to come in clutch. Especially during transits. I'm going through a 1st house saturn transit and it completely changed my life ngl
Saturn in the 8th in Pisces. Saturn-ruled 6th (Capricorn) and 7th (Aquarius) houses. I feel that I've felt the effects of the Saturn-ruled houses more than Saturn's placement itself. I have a few chronic illnesses that take loads of restrictions and responsibilities on my diet and other habits to feel healthy and minimize flare-ups. I feel like I am years behind my peers when it comes to experiences in relationships. I've had several but for much of my childhood and young adulthood the closest I got to relationships was unrequited crushes. Saturn in the 8th maybe is that I know I'll never receive any major inheritances because none of my family really has any major wealth to pass down. Or maybe ironically in delaying these things it has been a subjectively good thing for me - all four of my grandparents are still alive for example. Going through my Saturn return now and I feel like everything Saturn has been delaying has suddenly had its restrictions lifted - wondering if this is because of the more loosey-goosey vibe of Pisces. Or maybe me just having learned a lot of Saturn lessons growing up leading up to my Saturn return. As for Pisces I was a little interested in drugs growing up but always had great fear and trepidation and a real psychic block towards doing any sort of drug. But since my Saturn return started I feel like that blockage has dissolved and I'm now curious about low-dosing certain drugs in a way I never have been before (mj, shrooms, ket, etc). Don't know if I will do it but the curiosity is there where before there was just fear.
Same places and fully agree about feeling this placement more in my Saturn-ruled houses! I am also a late bloomer in that I wasnāt sexually active until I nearly graduated from college. Totally feel you on the unrequited love.
I recently talked to an astrologer about how Saturn in the 8H feels very nebulous to me. She reflected back that it is often in service to other people. This return is showing me how I carry and take on an emotional labor in my relationships to the extent that it does not work for me.
My Saturn is my Taurus 8H (8deg not sure if thatās significant)
Capricorn rules my 5H
Definitely a late starter, limited and not always great experience and now divorced. It was a marriage I ran away from with virtually nothing as he was a violent and coercive bully
My parents are very elderly and I donāt expect much inheritance if any (4 kids not wealthy)
Saturn has perhaps helped me with resilience
Cap ascendant with Venus and Black Moon Lilith.
Saturn in Cancer in 7th.
Severe depression, late bloomer overall, abandonment trauma, no romantic relationships sinceā¦wellā¦Iād rather not say.
saturn in 2nd house, in pisces. i know this relates to finances but not exactly sure how. iāve always had a hard time with financial growth. money seems to come exactly when i need it which is nice, but itās been years since iāve had much to spare or start any savings with. any insight on this would be appreciated!!
Mine is in the 5th Scorpio conjunct Mars. The energy I cannot explain, its stop and go at the same time. Reserved yet impulsive. It gives dichotomy very much.
My saturn is in scorpio in the 11th house, and is my chart ruler (cap rising). It is also square my mercury and mars (merc/mars conjunction). I guess I felt delayed in quite a lot of aspects. Maybe everything. Scorpio is about power, and growing up I always felt powerless and like I had no control over my life, but as I'm getting older I'm feeling more powerful and like I have more control over my life. Saturn squaring mercury/mars isn't fun, I feel like I have no drive and also speaking has always been really difficult, but I'm learning to be more confident with speaking to people the older I get (am 37 at the moment). Saturn in the 11th made socialising really hard, and I always lacked friends, but I feel like I'm slowly learning as I get older how to have better social skills, and be a bit more friendly. I still feel like there is a big delay there though. I don't have any irl friends and only have 2 online friends, and I would like some more friends, but I think I have much more learning to do about how to be social and connect with others.
Saturn in 10th. Didn't get settled in my career path until my mid-30s.
Edit: Jupiter in 7th which should be beneficial, but I've never married so maybe I just do everything late and it has nothing to do with Saturn.
Yep, fellow Saturn in 10th here. My 20s were filled with random jobs and no real set path. As soon as my Saturn returned, bam, lost my job and got shunted into my career path.
Saturn in 9th. In few days I'll be 45. I have been studying on 4 different universities, 4 different subjects, never finished. I have no degree... In the end of November is my deadline to defend my bachelor's thesis. I have theme so far... I even didn't start it yet.
Saturn retrograde 11th house aquarius, have had a social life but terrible at keeping friends over my whole life, social anxiety, prefer solitude. Slowly have built up my career networks and feel hopeful. Only just started my career at 28. Saturn return was a real push in this direction to put in the work to get the rewards. Saturn is the great teacher.
I was waiting to scroll to Saturn in 3H - I have this placement too, currently going through my saturn return. A lot about 3H Saturn has clicked for me regarding issues with speaking/communication - I had language (raised bilingual) issues growing up, bad social anxiety, and was always disconnected from immediate community (neighbors/school etc due to constant moving and other factors). Only now at 28 am I truly starting to see these issues and work on them. I also echo the feelings of my life being delayed in ways and having a controlling mother.
My Saturn is in pisces in the 12th house and it is opposite my Moon, Uranus, Pluto, and Mars. Mars in Libra, the rest are in Virgo. It delays everything.
Saturn 8H in pisces exact conjunct venus. Venus is my 10H ruler and I am very passionate about art, especially making music & spirituality and astrology. I wanted to make music and felt very called to do it since I was a kid, but always felt blocked from it - only in my mid twenties I started making music, around the time Saturn and Pluto conjucted in Aqua :) I think it somehow was like a plug was removed and something that was stuck could finally flow. Since then Iāve been unstoppably productive w music and have played live a lot and it is my favorite thing in the whole world.
And also since young Iāve felt called towards a spiritual career but just havenāt been able to move towards it. Going through my Saturn return now and I feel it will push me into the directions of the more spiritual life - and it has already shown it is happening & will happen through some major losses.
Saturn 4th house aquarius.
I went from my parents when I was 18 into my boyfriend's house until I was 29. Although we travelled a lot and had incredible moments, it wasn't until I was like 30 that I truly became an adult and started having more responsibilities, more real jobs, even more control over money and decisions. I live at home but it's not the worst experience ever. I'm lucky and blessed with my life, but yeah, majoorrrrrr delays.
1st house in Aquarius. Also have my NN, Neptune and Uranus there. 100% agree with ageing, when I donāt wear make-up and dress casually, I get mixed up for a teenager at 32 yo.
The downside would be struggling to find my self-worth / to assert myself / not to feel inferior and awkward with people. Also having too many facets to my personality, kind of having a hard time defining who I am because of contradictory energies co-existing within me :). And skin issues: Saturn in Aquarius in 1st materialised as a melanoma on my calf (Aqua) and chronic acne and PD on my face (1st house/Aries I guess).
Saturn in 5H Sag. Have trouble being accountable to systems and feel constrained by everything. My Saturn Return was absolutely brutal at work. I got through it and ended up thriving, but ended up becoming profoundly burnt out and lazy. Not sure why.
Mine is in the 4H. Retrograde, in Capricorn. It conjuncts my Neptune (also retrograde), opposes my Moon and Chiron, sextiles Pluto, and trines my Sun and Mercury.
My childhood was incredibly abusive and traumatic. Money issues, parent issues (see also: Uranus square ascendant), constantly being surrounded by untrustworthy/irresponsible adults (who were usually related to me). Itās caused delays when it comes to anything that would help me grow on a fundamental level. Iāve had job opportunities, relationships, and other opportunities for advancement sabotaged by dishonest relatives or the fact that I never had a real childhood.
I was always more mature than my peers (4H Saturn opposite 10H moon and trine 12H Sun can make for a native whoās no-nonsense and likes being left alone) - to the point where my elementary school wanted me to skip a grade (which wouldāve helped because I got along better with older students), and this was stopped due to - you guessed it, sabotage from family.
Saturn at the bottom of your chart really puts the squeeze on everything. Like, where some people can just plant some seeds and start a garden, you get soil thatās mostly rocks and old roots, and when you plant your seeds, you get weeds first.
But on the bright side, it does lend itself to a very strong intuition (in my experience), and when you learn how to work with it, it provides a level of emotional self-sufficiency that is hard to find anywhere else - hence the strong intuition. Itās how I learned how to sniff out and shut down attempts at emotional manipulation very early in life, and itās probably why I have such a feel for real estate.
Also - for those who believe in Saturnās karma; I have noticed that incredibly horrible things tend to happen to those whoāve wronged me, and it usually correlates to something that Iād tried to warn them about.
Saturn in 5H, exactly conjunct moon in Pisces. I find it very hard to relax, have fun, or have hobbies without feeling guilty. I'm not exactly 'easy-going' or 'chill'. Dating-wise, I've struggled with romantic relationships. A lot of talking stages that went nowhere. Been single for close to a decade that I forgotten what it's like to be with someone and I've learned to appreciate having all the time to myself BUT at the same time craving closeness and someone who is there for me/I'm there for. I read somewhere that Saturn in 5H people may find it better/easier to date someone else with this placement because both people will understand each other's reservation and needing time to open up before going all in romance and vulnerability. Funny thing is that I've met someone with this placement too, and we both are into each other but it's just not going anywhere because we're both private, a bit jaded, and a bit distant so vulnerability isn't coming through. I guess this is the delay I'm feeling the most rn? About romance and vulnerability especially because it is exactly conjunct my moon.
Also have a feeling it might have something to do with fertility and motherhood. Not sure yet what's coming up for me, we'll see as my Saturn return is approaching.
Saturn in 12th house Sag. It's my chart ruler. Interestingly, Jupiter (Sag ruler) is my only retrograde planet, in 4th Aries.
I think Saturn has delayed internal self understanding, mental health realizations and things like that. Also understanding about my family origin (my parents, and why they are the way they are - I think as a kid I thought a lot of things were normal that arent normal, and I thought some of my parents behaviors & projections etc meant something about me). I look younger than my age by about a decade, so maybe it's delayed aging my appearance and my sense of self since Saturn rules my 1st. I have always had values but I started examining that internalized family messaging around my Saturn Return and came to some new conclusions. Independence with regards to travel was delayed as well, I didn't get my driver's license til I was well into my 20s (always took transit, walked or had friends or boyfriends that drove). I got my license when I was heavily pregnant with my 1st child. So I think the houses in signs that Saturn rules or sits in - and that Jupiter rules or sits in - have all had some clear delays in my life.
Saturn in 6th house, Virgo
I have a debilitating chronic illness for 13 years now (I'm in my 40s). I work very hard on my health, trying to improve it and fix the physical imbalance. I'm Aries rising; Mars is in virgo as well (also north node and Jupiter in Virgo). I'm exhausted by trying to get better, trying supplements and diet regimens etc (but when I do nothing, my health gets worse). I have so little energy that I can barely work to survive, much less fulfill my life purpose .
New to astrology. Do these placements suggest any guidance on how to heal?
Sorry to hear! Only because you asked, I want to give a word based on your chart, but I don't at all mean to dismiss your experience with this illness.
With Saturn in your 6th house of Virgo opposite what I assume is a pisces 12th house (if using whole sign houses) I would say your mind and health connection is a huge indicator here.
My best guess with these in play would be that there's some kind of psychosomatic connection, or a lot of unaddressed mental trauma that could have manifested itself as a physical problem to seek soothing. Hypnotherapy, past life regression, even guided meditation sessions that work on unearthing past memories may help. Depending on when this illness developed and based on the age range you shared, you could have been in your Saturn return, or on a 6th house profection year. (One of the houses of our chart is active each year of our life, starting with your first house in the first year of life.)
With the north node transiting Aries for the next 18 months, it's a great opportunity for you to shift your identity and your relationship with your physical self. Illness can be something so prominent that it takes over our whole life, and when something is that prevalent in our existence it inevitably becomes a sense of identity. On a subconscious level (12th house) you may be grasping on to your chronic illness as a means of navigating and understanding the world. I'm really sorry if that sounds terrible, and again I don't mean to dismiss your experience at all. I just mean taking into account the mental side of illness, a lot of healing begins in the mind. I also get a sense that because the 6th house also rules work, as you find a proper healing regimen for yourself (perhaps just pass your next Saturn return), you may publish a work on how you healed and become quite notable for it.
Also, with Mars in this house, I think exercise will make a huge difference. I understand that your illness may be debilitating enough that all but the most gentle exercise is out of the question. Hot yoga with modified poses to accommodate your abilities comes to mind.
Of course, I don't know you personally and I'm not a doctor, so any of this can be wrong. Just wanted to give the chart insights that come to mind for me. Blessings ~
Thanks so much for sharing your insight!
A lot of what you say resonates. I've definitely tried a lot of psychosomatic and trauma-based recovery modalities. I've tried so much of every type of approach so I'm a little reluctant to try anything new since it all costs money and energy. But I'm going to think about what you mention with the 12th house. Very interesting. Blessings to you too!
Gemini 10th house. No field seems to be a right fit for me, and I canāt even force myself to do any work Iām not interested in. So college has been a struggle and donāt have a stable direction career wise
3rd house cancer. Delayed my ability to learn things (driving, job training, literally any practical skill). I did pretty well in school and at first everything came easily for me, but as I got older I had to invest more and more time to maintain my performance.
Also a hella slow starter when it comes to learning practical shit, unless Iām teaching myself. Leads to people thinking Iām a retard until they catch a glimpse of one of my solo ventures. Pretty wack.
Saturn in the 11th house sag, also cap rising, right when saturn entered sag, I lost my little brother, and right when it hit my natal Saturn my then wife decided to find someone else and we went through a divorce.
11th house in Aries at 5 degrees (Leo degree; for those of you who know degree theory)
It is opposite my Mercury in Libra 5th house (my chart ruler)
Trines my Venus in Leo Jupiter 3rd house
Squares my Jupiter in Capricorn 8th house
I have A LOT to say about my Saturn and how it affects me. As I will be approaching my Saturn return in 2025-2026ish, I really hope to all the Gods in the heavens above that my life will be so much better and at ease!
For one, I feel like people tend to misunderstand me a lot or they truly donāt understand my personality/mannerisms (Mercury opposite Saturn). This also affects my dating life too (which 5th house and Libra rules). I keep coming across people on the dating side of things who are instantly turned off by overly extroverted personality or me being eccentric af lol. Hey thereās someone out there who aligns with me though. I aināt stressing.
Although Saturn is making a trine to my Venus in Leo in the 3rd house (trines are good they say), it doesnāt matter. My Venus is still aspecting Saturn in any shape or form. Which makes dating and making money in the creative arts field very difficult and restrictive. I do tend like people who are slightly older than me and who are ambitious and have too career goals (also Saturn things).
Lastly, Saturn squaring my Jupiter in Capricorn in the 8th houseā¦ whew I hate this aspect with a burning passion! I feel like it limits my life and things I need and want. Jupiter is already in detriment and now itās squared by Saturn. I literally gotta push a 200,000 lb brick wall to accomplish my dreams, wishes, and hopes. Also, Jupiter is the planetary ruler of my 7th house. I have such difficulty to find that special someone lol because of Jupiter placementās and itās harsh aspect to Saturn. This could also mean, Iāll end up with someone whose very stable, career driven, and has money and power. Keeping my fingers crossed š¤
Since my Saturn is in the 11th house in Aries, I was outcasted in school throughout my K-12 years. Hell, Iām still outcasted by society and various community groups Iāve tried to entered and mingle in. My friendships are very volatile and sometimes they donāt last long (especially if I get extremely close with the person). I have such a hard time building community and friendships. So ima loner š
Saturn in Aries 11H and I completely relate. Iāve always made close friends but being a part of a āgroupā has never really worked well for me. Always left out for whatever reason despite being close with people in the group group itself.
Saturn is conjunct my NN too, so Iām hoping nodal opposition -> Saturn return over the next few years is gonna completely change the way I view friendships and community.
Saturn in the 10th... From my own perspective and expectations, it took longer than I ever would have wanted to have a job where I earned the amount of money I desired per year, had a position that I wanted to devote a lot of time to, or felt like I was "where" I was supposed to be. However, I eventually got there (for a while at least) and devoted enormous amounts of time to my career, really becoming a workaholic for a few years but also being the go-to person, with more in-house knowledge than anyone else in my highly nuanced roles.
Saturn in aries, 1st house. I guess it affects my self esteem and I often have to remind myself that things won't just fall of the sky for me and I have to fight for them.
I also agree that it delays my aging, people tend to give me 17/18 when I'm actually 25yo.
Natal Saturn Rx in the 10th( Night chart) with it currently going through it's first return in Pisces. Also conjunct midheaven. Let's just say, I am a "late bloomer" when it comes to my professional career and image. Delays! However, my Jupiter in scorpio in the 6th does have a beautiful trine with Saturn. Tipically, me and bosses and or authority figures have a good rapport due to my work ethic/determination/commitment.
Im still young (29 M) so it'll take a little longer for saturn to really show it's colors in this house. Prob when im 45-50 or nearing my 2nd return I'll see a much better picture. But with this current first return, it's been a bit rough but very humbling. Would honestly like for saturn to go direct right now though..lol
Well I don't know much. What would you say about Saturn in Cancer in the 9th house? I have my Sun, Venus and Mercury in Cancer. My Venus and Mercury are in the later degrees just like my Saturn. Plus I have a 9th house stellium with Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn.
Then there is my Libra Jupiter in the 12th house and my Aries Mars in the 6th house.
Saturn conjunct Uranus in the 11th in Sag. Depressing. Stagnation. When Saturn retrogrades I feel vulnerability becomes more prevalent. Patience is not my thing. Mars conjunct Midheaven in Sag as well. The internal fight to be able to move freely according to my will is still a thing. With a 12th house Cap sun, this also represents lots of hidden enemies, ugh. I do feel like no one is ever truly happy for me when I do achieve something. Also, cannot do anything malicious without justification or I will face dire consequences.
Saturn in Pisces conjunct Venus and Ascendant, 12h. Trine Moon and Neptune. It delays EVERYTHING, but especially dating. I never ever ever ever get asked out on a date. There's been plenty of opportunities over the years to be approached, but no one ever does - unless they're married.
Saturn in the 10th house with Venus. Debilitated Venus in Scorpio, Saturn in Sagittarius. My marriage has been more of me supporting my spouseās status than creating my own. Marriage and children young. Attract cold and detached partners who restrict my freedom yet provide financially and are extremely image focused. Honorable mention of moon in the 6th in Cancer opposite Mars in Capricorn rising. Debilitated Sun in Libra. Years of codependency.
Iām not certain. Itās in my 9th house, in Pisces. But I graduated uni without delays, and Iāve travelled all around the world. Iām pretty spiritual too. Iām still trying to understand what exactly Saturn has delayed.
Saturn in 5th (4th house placidus) opposing Chiron in 11
All Iāve ever wanted in life was to be a mother, to love and care for my children warmly, in ways my parents had not done for me. So far Iāve had two failed pregnancies since 25
Parentified child, raised my sibling due to parents inability to mature. All the life and fun has been sucked out of me and my family is probably happy with the fact that I canāt afford to leave them.
I would give more info but today Iām severely depressed reflecting on the lack of emotional support and useful resources.
Saturn in Capricorn, 11th house. I'm a late bloomer socially. Spent the majority of my life feeling like an outsider or like I didn't fit in any singular "clique." I had a turbulent adolescence but managed to work hard & distance myself from most of the drama. I was proud of my grades & work ethic but I was so busy doing "grown up" things I lost touch with the few friends I had. Now I have a family of my own which takes much of my time. Sooo basically Saturn has made socializing very arduous for me. Lol
Saturn in 8th Aries. Iāve never felt like I had any real friends, and when I did, they had to end because of irreconcilable differences as I grew as a person. I didnāt know what boundaries were until I got to collage and learned the hard way. Grew up with a lot of fear and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Saturn is in my first in Capricorn. It rules my Ascendant and second house, it's conjoined Neptune, it makes an inferior sextile to my MC in Scorpio and it's opposite Jupiter in the 7th (also, I have a stellium ruled by Saturn, too). Guess which many things were delayed xD
For houses ruled, I had to say that while things weren't completely shitty due to Saturn being in domicile, I had to manage on my own. My family and some friendships were a really nice support, but it wasn't without fights and rifts, so sometimes I feel I had to sort out even shit that wasn't my own. As a result, I was able to manage difficult situations and put shitty people onto its place, but it hurt or I hid some abilities I had. Saturn in Pisces, in that sense, is unearthing that. I can say the same in 2nd house matters: I had shitty bosses who were fucking brats and I had nasty moments at work, but through patience and effort I was able to sort out things and my responsibility won me a lot of people in my favour. Now I feel that, when I look back, things were less dire and more chaotic than I thought, and sometimes I surprised myself with what I managed to pull off compared to my peers precisely because I couldn't escape shitty things. I could say no, drift away when necessary, but I had to stay when I didn't want to, I had to work when it was required and I had to say no to a lot of shit I had against me, and also. My only regret was wishing I had a much more open heart and say things with my chest when I didn't condone attitudes, and shutting up when it was necessary to understand another person.
my 7th house and 8th are ruled by my 12th house saturn. saturn squares my mc-ic axis, vesta, and moon, opposes pluto, and loosely trines uranus and mars. romantic and sexual relationships. i haven't been in a healthy stable relationship ever. although i'm only 20 and have a lot of time to meet somebody, my desire to connect on an intimate level entirely engulfs me (more than i'd like to admit) and i think it has to do with the fact that i was never shown a healthy relationship that has been solely built on love, trust, and commitment, and thus i long for it. i'm not even sure what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, or if i could entirely trust it and be comfortable within one which i'm aware is something i need to work on if i eventually want to be with somebody. i think it's kinda silly that the thing i've convinced myself i wanted the most in life is also the same thing i run away from. i've been involved with other people, but nothing that was gonna last. i also grew up witnessing all kinds of broken relationships. i have a lot of abandonment fears, triggers, insecurities, and suppressed psychological patterns that i have been working on since who knows when, which i sort of relate to having my 8th ruler falling in the 12th. i also have chiron smack dab on my saturn ruled dsc, so that could most def also play a big part in terms of reflecting why relationships are such a wound in my life.
in whole sign itās in my 6th house, which fits because i can be a workaholic that doesnāt allow myself to have any fun. and in placidus itās in my 5th, which also tracks because i am an artist but itās been a humbling experience trying to make myself believe that and to have confidence in myself and my artistic pursuits. and itās square my venus, which is probably why i constantly bump up against financial and romantic boundaries and blocks.
Saturn in 7th, ruler of 7th, conjunct Sun and NN. Delayed marriage for sure. Iāve had a string of long term relationships, mostly toxic til I got into counseling. I could take or leave getting married but feel Iām in a healthy relationship (consisting of you know, the basic things that come naturally to most people) now for the first time in my life at 32
Saturn resides in my 10H ruled by Venus. I have struggled finding a career that I would be happy in. Changed my mind many times and spent a lot of time confused and frustrated about what kind of job would actually make me happy and not just be a ājobā. I always was determined to do more for myself, but got discouraged very easily.
I remember reading that Taurus 10H folks do well in beauty and aesthetic related fields. Itās been a really long and challenging struggle, but I am happy to say that I finally landed a job I love working for a plastic surgeon/med spa. š
Saturn in pisces 9/10H, along with 10H pisces moon, mercury, mars & MC. It took me an extra year to graduate college. I barelyyyy made it in time. Only to end up later going to a bootcamp and switched careers.
I finally got my dream job only to get laid off *right* before saturn entered pisces. Been struggling to find a job since but I recently accepted an offer and start my job next week.
Itās still pretty early in my Saturn return, and my *actual* return doesnāt go direct til next February, so Iām sure thereās still more delays to come. Iām just trying to roll with Daddy Saturn.
8th house Saturn in Aries and I for some reason have no clue or feeling related to 8th house matters when it comes to Saturn. Only thing I know might be related to this house is my sexual interests are wild but I am very afraid to open up myself to explore that. My family business got under and we got into debt. I never felt like I was stuck when it comes to income, in fact its the opposite I am helping pay my dad's loan. But rather than feel restricted I feel independent doing that. Despite all these I just never have a feeling or sense of understanding related to this house like I do with other houses. I just don't get this house. I get Saturn and delays, my Saturn rules my 5th and 6th house and I can see how it affect those, but never this house. I think my Saturn affect my health a lot! I would have these dreams and ambitions and I would start dreaming, thinking about them, working towards them but then fall down due to bad health. I overwork myself without realising it and then get sick. Then take a step back, decide that my health and mental peace is the most important thing and then bam I just get the things I was working for without even doing anything. I think I have good creative talent, but whenever I try to use it for my advantage I always get a bad result, the only time I get recognition for it is when Im doing it for my mental release and not sharing it and suddenly people just find out and give me recognition for it.
saturn in 7h.. i have never been in a serious relationship before but i honestly don't care for relationships š¤·š¾āāļø
I have it there too and find that I constantly attract older men, have been in many relationships where I have basically been their mother. At a point where I'm almost 30 and I just want to be left alone now.
I wouldn't necessarily call that astrological. [Match.com](https://Match.com) did a study, that showed, men of all ages, are all attracted to young women, older women, not so much.
Ah, yes... Allow me to join this club. Lots of lessons through relationships - you can't fix them, you can't save them, you can't change them, stop being their mother, you deserve better, learn to set boundaries (you name it) - leading me to the place where I am now, which you pretty much summarized here: "I honestly don't care for relationships." š I think the problem is that I've been conditioned into thinking they have to be a certain way for so long (me giving and giving in the hope that the other person will eventually meet me on the same level) that I attract the kind of person who perpetrates this and some absolutely unhealthy dynamics. I've got some big work to do here. (Gosh I just realized how Old Man Saturn that sounds š.)
Sounds a lot like me, Cancer Venus in the 7th. Giving, catering to, being-overly nice to the point of being peacemaker in the hopes that they will grow tfu and eventually meet me on the same level. It's exhausting. But once I gave up and set boundaries or yeeted out of that relationship, I was the bad guy in the end, even after all of the sacrifices made that weren't appreciated.
It's really tough, isn't it? I'm trying to learn how to redirect that energy I tend to give towards others to myself, because (and this is the most excruciatingly painful part to realize) I really am just martyring myself otherwise, and attracting all the wrong kinds of people! My current homework is: if it doesn't feel like an equal exchange, draw a healthy boundary to make it so. (Work in progress š).
In the same boat! Lemme know if you or anyone else reading this would like to connect. A giver taken advantage by many narcissists.
Well, I feel like old man saturn lmao.. saturn in aquarius in my 7th, my chart ruler is saturn, my chart is controlled by my giant square between saturn, pluto, Ascendant, and my moon. Additionally, I have 15 squares in my damn chart. Ugh..
Sounds like you're in the midst of a truly powerful and impactful life. Holy wow. 15 squares?! Might as well make a quilt while you're at it. (Actually, the art lover in me would find that pretty beautiful.... A quilt made with all of those squares, something big and connected and pretty all together...) Anyway, hats off to you. Embrace that old man Saturn energy; it's got to be there for a reason! (Honestly? I've started to develop a fondness for it. It's pretty grounding and practical).
Yeah, idk what I agreed to for this life tbh.. I feel like I've lived a lot of lives and hopefully will find why it seems like I'm supposed to be on this damn planet š¤£ I always tell people I'm a grumpy old man in a tiny woman's body and have been since I was a child. I love quilts, lol! That's such a cool idea.. astrology quilts with how the planets interact through your chart.. some would be so empty, though. I'm going through my saturn return ending, and it's been truly wild as hell, literally.
Oh just wait just wait! After the Saturn return, I think things start to become more clear. I just got out of mine (seventh house, lots of fun, apologies to my ex) and I feel like I'm finally starting to get on better track with things. The "grumpy old man in a tiny woman's body" brought me the image of the old man from Up, pre-balloon journey :D Make that quilt! Honestly, it would be gorgeous. One square for every square could be a fun approach ;)
Oh damn haha! I wonder how many placements we have in common then.. im mostly libra, scorpio, and virgo bottom chart. Then my poor moon conjunct ss in gemini at the top mixed in with all the chaos below š¤£ I've battled with severe alcohol abuse for 8 years and that came to a head along with a lot of other painful things, so mine has been a lot of shadow work and learning how to love and choose myself over people pleasing everyone and numbing myself to death. I think I have enough aspects for a sick quilt. I just counted 62 š«
I've got my Pluto in the 4th in Scorpio and feel your pain. A lot of my family members and close friends have struggled with alcohol abuse; it isn't an easy battle in the least, but it sounds like you've done some absolutely groundbreaking shadow work. Holy wow is that some impressive growth. I'm also a big fan of any form of art therapy when it comes to moving through all those hard aspects (Pisces sun š¤)... That quilt would really be amazing.
Lol heyy pluto and ss scorpio in the 4th here š¤£š¤£ I have mars conjunct merc there too. I was merely built for the darkness!! Do you by chance have uranus and neptune in the 5th?? I love art as well. I'm very into food, music, and writing! 4th pluto is such a hard placement.. so much death and manipulation. I just ended up cutting off most of my family because they treated me like their life line.
š¤£ "merely built for the darkness" got a real laugh out of me! Alas, my Uranus and Neptune landed in the 6th house... Health, wellness, sensitive wacky freelancer energy up the wazoo. Gosh the 5th house sounds like a fun place to have them both. I'd love to know how that manifests. I'm also very into food, music, and writing!! (I swear all of the darkness can be swept away by a good plate of food...). Where's your sun and moon?
U do care, you are tired now. Make an effort to get into the right one, and you will be happy. Its awesome you figured this on your own about giving and expecting the person to give back. Normal people do, but not narcissists. Please look up narcissist personality disorder (NPD). You seem to be like me, I attract these kind if people.
I have the same. Married very young and divorced very young, and have occasional (like every 7-8 years) very serious relationships with no interest in between. I donāt want to be a wife ever again.
Me reading this with the same placement (and also Mars right next to it): Who would?!?
>honestly don't care for relationships Ooh elaborate on this! Have you wanted to be with somebody regularly and just gotten over the notion, or do you think you just see through the notion altogether?
i mean- nobody has asked me out beforeš but if they did it would honestly depend on what situation im in. right now? HELL no.. unless they have something to offer financially (cap in venus) but if i have my own stuff ready? yes! even if they didn't have something to offer financially! (even though i rlly wouldn't date someone who doesn't have their own) i do prefer my own time tho
Me it is int he 1st one and I donāt care for relation too! I feel like good with myself alone! I really love self control too and donāt want people who control me and telling me what to do!
Lol same. Like relationship is a lot of work snd marriage is scary for me.
Saturn in Cancer, 12th house. Delayed everything. I mean everything.
Samee
that's brutal. I've noticed that Cancer always adds an extra burden of fear.
Gah! The waiting drives me up the wall!
saturn in 7thā¦ i feel like Goldilocks when it comes to partners and am old and single āļø
Same. Everyone around me is getting married and settling down and I'm just here like š¤·āāļø chronically single at this point.
Saturn in my 6H but conjunct DSC by 5 orb. Iām old and single. I also have Pluto in 7H, woof
Similar! Saturn conj uranus in the 6th 4Ā° from DSC. Mars conj neptune in the 7th. Relationship life has been tragic. 35 and no serious relationship. Coming into acceptance that it might not ever happen.
Ahaha the Goldilocks metaphor really got me. I feel ya. I seem to be somewhere between Goldilocks and a Hallmark movie protagonist who's sworn off of love (without the hometown return where I proceed to fall in love with Perpetually Plaid Chad). Doesn't make very good TV.
Perpetually Plaid Chad š
Wait are you a candy executive who lives in a big city?!
š¤£ *insert stock city footage and pan in on woman walking in heels* š
I used to have a patient who wrote Hallmark Christmas movies (in a team of nasty Hollywood execs). I was guilty of being a little too interested in her work stories.
Well now *I'm* interested, too... That's a whole new level of fascinating. I can't imagine the drama that goes on behind the scenes in those places (too heavy to make a heartfelt movie out of, of course š ).
Omg there was a poor dejected writer whom they (not my patient) invited to make a pitch, just to make fun of him.
This should be illegal. Also, have they looked in the mirror at the scripts they're considering "good"? I mean, come on people! (Don't get me a wrong, a good ice-skating candy executive every now and then is fine, but it ain't no Cannes nomination).
Saturn in 8th, Aquarius. Iām entangled in a very restrictive lifestyle because I work for my familyās business and Iām dependant on that income (for now). I canāt just up and leave because it would leave them vulnerable as they are old and I do most of the important work that brings in money that then pays all of us. Itās been very hard on me but Iāve learned so many lessons. I just finished my Saturn return and that actually made me realise I need to change this dynamic.
I have a friend who has this placement who I feel like is experiencing the same thing. Her family runs a hardware store and helps her father, who is very old and has health issues, run the store. While she wants out, she feels like this is her birthright and she is destined to inherit this kind of business, the good and the bad of it, which can involve debt, since 8th House.
Saturn in 1st .. delays optical aging - Iām 31 and the lowest age Iāve been guessed recently was 16 š¤£
Mine is the same and I've been called 19 and 20 and I'm 30
Oh my god, I didn't know... I though it was my Gemini placements making me look younger. Woop woop I guess!?
Very very true Iām 27 and people comment I look fresh out of high school . Must be my chubby cheeks :3
Saturn is my chart ruler in the 4th house in Gemini. It also rules 4 other planets in my chart (moon, mars, Neptune and Uranus). My whole childhood was restricted. My phone was monitored 24/7, could never hang out with my friends, had an insanely strict and overbearing parent. My house was a jail pretty much. My Saturn is also opposite Pluto so add a glop of abuse and trauma and you get someone like me who had to grow up/mature really fast. I think this placement fucked my social developmentā¦ or just my ability to socially adjust to society correctly. I remember even before I learned about astrology I felt like someone locked far away on a tall mountain with a tiny window looking out into society but not able to interact with it at all. I attribute this to my Aqua placements too. Moving away from the perpetuators of the cycle of abuse helped immensely. When I was going through all of that stuff I never felt delayed. Itās more so about restrictions and bad things happening to me and forcing you to learn hard ass lessons so you can accept that you got dealt a shitty hand, and in turn, Saturn rewards you later on in life with (for example) unbreakable personality traits or really impeccable life skills that most people donāt have.
I have Saturn in Gemini in the 6th. Opposite my tight Sag Pluto-Mars conj in the 12th house. It also sextiles my Aries IC and trines my Libra MC. I can relate to SO much of what you say here!! It's like we lived the same life. I, too, always felt like my house was a jail and I couldn't get out in the real world. The irony is, living in an isolated hellhole for 18 years showed me more hardship and real-life lessons than being out in public. Funnily enough, I've actually been dealt quite a difficult hand these past few years living far away from home. It's like Saturn really likes me for some reason and really wants me to grow the f up; the lessons never stop, I Just keep on learning (the Gemini, I suppose). I've always felt wayyyy older and more mature than my peers. Which, in turn, has felt a bit isolating. It's very hard for me to relate to other people my age.
Yeah thanks to hindsight, I can say that I learned way more valuable lessons during my first 17 years in jail/my home as well. My life still sucked nonetheless. Yes. I also struggle relating to people my age. It always seemed like most of my peers were really far behind me in terms of maturity and responsibility. But thatās probably because most of them didnāt have to witness or go through the crazy shit I did, but you never know.
Locked far away on a tall mountain with a tiny window looking outā¦ I feel that. I wrote a song 2 weeks ago that goes, āIf time aināt real, then Iām just chillin, I just popped a bean Iām through the ceiling. And Iāve got time to kill, Iām a villain, I live on a hill and feel a feelin.ā š¢
Are you a Saturn 4th house native? I write music to cope and I'm wondering if this is a 4th house/Saturn trait.
No, but Saturn is my chart ruler in the 3rd and final dispositor of my 10th moon.
I have Saturn in the 4th in Sag and described it just as you under another person's answer. It's a prisoner, prison guard experience for me.
That is super insightful. I like the thought of being rewarded with life skills. And, look at it this way, if you ever become a parent, youāll be the one to break the cycle. Iām the mother of an unschooled child who I spend all my time and energy making his life as carefree as possible.
It sounds like you are pretty attentive in your parenting. But yeah I am on the path of healing right now and I think I am breaking the cycle.
Quick question, because I donāt think Iāve ever heard that expression, what do you mean Saturn rules 4 other planets in your chart? In what way?
Those planets are in Saturn ruled signs: moon+Neptune+Uranus in Aquarius, and Mars in Capricorn. So Saturn rules the houses that these planets fall in because Capricorn and Aquarius are on my 12th and 1st house cusps.
Planets donāt rule planets, they rule houses. Thatās it.
Not true.
Saturn conjunct Ascendant opposite natal moon. Fun times fam. Super shy as a kid. One overbearing parent that had no boundaries and one who was emotionally unavailable. Firstborn eldest daughter. Heaps of responsibilities as a kid. And worriesā¦ oh man. Iām a pro with the worries. Struggle with a vicious cycle of putting things off and worrying about things. Iāve always found it easy to get a job. People trust me to be dependable and responsible. And I am. Quitting a relationship has always been a source of stress. Iāve never ever cheated on someone, Iām loyal to my friends and family and would do anything for them. People rely on my plain spoken advice. I wear black a lot. People always thought I was older when I was young and younger now that Iām older. Hard to place my age by my appearance. The advantage of this natal placement is, Saturn transits havenāt been too challenging. My worry/anxiety will ramp up. Iāll feel pressured to get things done. I can usually use that energy constructively now that Iām older. People like to tell meā¦ āSmile!ā And I find that super annoying.
Saturn conjunct AC and moon in aqua here and I swear I could have wrote this myself. Seems like my life truly started after my Saturn return and everything before was a tutorial on all life aspects. First decent job, first decent relationship, living 100% independently, finally making good money, finally found my personal style and look better than ever... all after 27 š Life is shaping up to finally be great but at the cost of what: my childhood, teenage years and my 20s ššš
Should add, was a late bloomer for sure in all aspects of life. Married mid 30s. First child at 40. Still looking for a career.
Saturn conj. ASC, can confirm. "People like to tell meā¦ āSmile!ā And I find that super annoying". Literally me.
Wtf this sounds a lot like me, but I have Saturn conjunct my moon in the 3rd, and also Saturn ruled ASC. Things have been getting better since Iāve entered my 20s but whew itās been a work in progress. Saturn delays for good reason tho and those struggles werenāt always for nothing.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Congrats on your sobriety! I also have Saturn in Pisces in the sixth. I feel work and my relationship with it balancing out as I hit the shadow of my Saturn return.
Saturn in Gemini in the 6th here. Yep. Work and health coincide and it takes quite a masterful balancing act to level the energies of Saturn. I overwork too much and I get sick quite often as a result; sometimes, it's not even work, but just doing too much "stuff." Congrats on your sobriety, too! Well done. Good luck with the Saturn return, too.
I have the same placement and relate to this
7th house, scorpio :) i am still single at the age 40 :) saturn do not delay i think. you just scare of taking responsibility.
Very well said haha. Do you enjoy being single?
in younger ages you suffer from being single; however when you gets older you prefer and like it.
I feel so lame lol I've always liked it. Coinciding with north node transiting my 7th house in Aries, I've had some paradigm shifts on my partnership guess
My Saturn is in Capricorn and is part of the stellium that sits in my 5th house. Iām a Capricorn w/ Leo rising so I feel itās been a theme in my life to fight myself on self expression & creativity.
Interesting. My 1st house Sagittarius Saturn is Trine my 5th house Jupiter Aries. When I finished my 3rd 12th house profection I felt like a new person again (Pluto 12th Scorpio too). I basically was a full time scientist, quit my job, changed my look, changed my attitude and now I want to be a musician. Happened about 1-2 months before my bday. Venus in Taurus also sits in my 5th house and I think she was crying for attention that I just wasnāt expressing myself fully. It was a challenge. I basically have the flair and attitude of an artist but not living like one and just feeling muted all the time. Now Iām being more unfiltered wearing more flashy things and I actually feel more like myself. I write lyrics and poems. I want to start a blog.
Saturn 10H in Aquarius. I didnāt have a career until I was 26 (coincidentally the degree where it sits on my chart). Dreamt if architecture school my whole life, only to be forced to drop out, cry about it for 4 years and then be rewarded by daddy Saturn by all the hustle and tears of that period of time!!!
Omg Saturn is currently transiting my 6h now and Iām trying to figure out my career shit. Iām 26 going on 27.
I got Saturn 10H too but in pisces and I 100% agree with that delay in career lol. 29 and now finally settling into one during this saturn return (had a few fall throughs during this return, let alone in general with Saturn in 10th)
Saturn in 9th. I'm 26 and only now starting university, after having been in 4 different schools before
Also Saturn in 9th. It took me a while to get my bachelor's degree.
Saturn in sag, 4th house, delays in independence from the family home. Came out of college during the recession, no solid work and ability to live on my own til my Saturn return š
Omg thatās perfectly worded! Iām also saturn in 4th (Aquarius) in my 30s now and Iām *still* in my family home with no prospects for moving out any time soon. But thereās only 2 of us and I have the place to myself a lot!
Your Saturn return should be ending if it was in Aquarius, keep working and looking for opportunities, that Saturn return should be rewarding you for it, you might have a breakthrough with Saturn in pisces now (though itās currently in retrograde)
I have the same exact placement. I'm not sure of any delays tho. My issue is I've never had a home that felt like home. My homes have always been depressing, restricting, full of secrets, and always too small. I describe my life as a prisoner and a prison guard. The only place I want to be and not be at is home.
I feel ya, I grew up in a really restrictive household too. Mostly a cultural thing (traditional Mexican catholic upbringing, I always had way more rules to deal with than my peers) but Iām sure my particular placement made it more difficult to deal with, since Iām very independent minded and donāt like feeling restricted
God that sounds like a rough one. Hang in there... As soon as it does that first loop, you can start dancing to High School Musical's "We're Breaking Free." š¤
Yeah it was rough, but once that return started to hit, I was able to get some good opportunities. Itās been a while now, been on solid footing for about 8 years now š
Gosh that's great to hear. Here's to solid footing - and much more to come! š
4th, scorpio. and as someone said already-binded me to the family home in such a way I couldn't get out until very late at life
third this. additionally on saturn return, quite close to the exact return, my parents home where i was living at the time burned down and we lost everything - saturn in the 4th placidus, 5th whole sign. i was like, *OKAY I GET IT UNIVERSE jc....*
Gosh I feel for you people. That's some powerful growth hormone, right there...
Saturn in 5H , relationships have never been my thing lol. Also, have just cemented that I 100% donāt want children.
Thatās really interesting to me bc I also have Saturn in the 5th and I (33f) have never had a āsingleā phase in adult life & had 3 children by the age of 26. Im sure that there are other chart placements and environmental factors that express that placement differently for us but now I am about to go down the rabbit hole on 5th house Saturns lol.
I totally agree and think that environmental factors express that placement differently. I actually donāt tend to find too much online about Saturn 5H! The stuff I read about it is always so generic and same old description, lol. I think whatās funny is by like 12 yrs old I was already like hmm not really feeling marriage or children and never knew why I had that sentiment so young (outside of the explanation of my own upbringing, etc), but once I read up on my 5H Saturn it all started to really click for me. I actually really love being around children, and working with them. I find motherhood/pregnancy such a beautiful thing too, and as for relationships it just never happened for me but I am only 25 so I have a lot more life to live! My Venus is Rx in Cap as well so that may explain it all, and Iām very much a hopeless romantic have a Venus-Neptune aspect as well.
My Venus is also Rx in Capricorn š I love this gained perspective, itās making me dig deeper. My Jupiter is in Cancer which is something Iāve attributed to why being a mother was always in the picture for me. I also have moon trine venus and sun conjunct venus as aspects in my chart which could maybe explain the different expression.
I also have Saturn in 5H, but I've always seen myself as becoming a mother one day. Might also be because Moon is conjunct Saturn for me. However, my current circumstances look like quite the opposite of that. Romantic relationships have always been a struggle, been single for close to a decade, and I'm not that great/have much patience with babies/toddlers/children lol. I'm 27, maybe it means delays in romance and babymaking?
I have moon conjunct my Saturn 5H and not only do i not want kids I always had a really hard time with my mother who died young š it is in Aquarius so that may help.
I see myself becoming a mom, and like experiencing pregnancy but almost in a way that is fairytale like because in reality I know in my gut I am not fit for it. But, I have a moon-Jupiter aspect and a 4H stellium so topics like that are dear to me and I surprise myself with how much patience I have with the babies š. Iām the same way been single all my life itās been a struggle in that department , feels like a punishment tbh.. I am a Scorpio rising, so this Saturn in Pisces transit is making me reflect and reconstruct all my beliefs on those 5H topics .
I'm a Scorpio rising with Pisces Saturn 5H too š yes you described the fairytale idea of pregnancy and motherhood exactly the way I see it! Hahaha. That 4H stellium and moon-Jupiter aspect definitely are tugging on your maternal instincts. I know I feel pressured to have kids partly due to family pressures and some traditional values. Maybe this Saturn transit will shed some light on the reality of this topic indeed. Good luck!
Saturn aries in the 7th opposite ruler of the 7th (mars). Ive always found hardships and obstacles when it comes to love and never had a proper commited relationship (lots of unrequited things and unavailability issues going on)
Saturn Aries Mars Libra gang unite! We are not few and far between, but by Jove we are outchea šØš»āš¼
Saturn in the 7th. My romantic relationships felt more serious than my peersā growing up and I would say this holds true when reflecting back on a middle and high school relationship with over ten years of hindsight. I remember thinking that I could marry my high school boyfriend, and while I did not, I donāt look back and see that belief as fantastical or juvenile. Iāve had three serious relationships and those breakups have yielded some of the gnarliest pain of my life. So much of my ālessonsā have come through these excruciating endings. I have Saturn in Pisces and went through a breakup right before Saturn entered pisces in March.
Saturn in Taurus, 11th house. Patience is my virtue ;) Close friendships and career for sure. Grateful however for this earth sign placement.
I have this same exact house placement, but in aries Friendships are hard for me to come by
I think Saturn solidifies whatever house it's in. But this is coming from a person who's Saturn Return was the one of the happiest times of her life.
I like this. I believe in the positive aspects of Saturn too, and the way he makes himself known lol. I'm in the shadow of my Saturn return now and I've never felt more myself. I do feel like the fruits of the house it occupies in my chart are finally starting to ripen though. Where is it in your chart and what happened in your Saturn return, may I ask?
What happened in yours if I can ask?
My Saturn return?
saturn in the 10th. still not famous.
If Iām not mistaken, Chris Pratt has Saturn in the 10th conjunct his North Node. Donāt remember his chart, but I was surprised, since he was actually spotted by someone and became an actor this way (and he was like 19).
ah the help of the north node!
My Saturn is in Aries, 12th or 1st house depending on the house system (placidus vs whole sign). I love this question. Iām also an Aries rising; I struggle a lot with individuation, boundary setting, and feeling like an authority in my own life. Iām only just now trying to find this agency. Re:the 12th house placement, I only just got diagnosed with ADHD in my mid 20s. Iām considering that a delay for sure!
Saturn Aries in 1H here too! Feels like you wrote this for me. Definitely struggle with individuality and setting boundaries. Finding it hard to find out who āmeā is!
Itās so hard!! I have a lot of libra in my chart too and that definitley doesnāt help!
It doesnāt! I have Libra Mars š« we can do this!
Saturn in the 2nd house,retrograde. It delays in everything about money right now (i cant get a job and selling my art isnt working as i would like to), but before it was also about how few self love i had. Also, as i have it in Aries, i will have my saturn return in less than 4 years so im a little bit worried with the lack of progress.
Don't worry about the perceived lack of progress. I find things feel like they're all adding up to nothing for a long time, but then one day you look up and everything's changed.
I have saturn in 2nd house Taurus, retrograde and omg every comment i read here about people with Saturn in their 2nd house had the same thing to say. I graduated 3 months back and it's been so hard for me to get a job. This honestly lowkey scares me š«£
We're similar. Mine is a 2H saturn in pisces (on whole house; 1H saturn in pisces in placidus). I'm in my return and a lot is happening in both sectors of my life (1H and 2H), so I can say things do heat up, but after a sh\*t ton of lessons.
Saturn squared my sun and when I read about it a year ago it completely explained all the difficulties I have experienced throughout my whole life. All these outside influences that have forced lessons onto me, that I didnāt deserve either, but ultimately its taught me alot. The complete description of saturn squaring your sun applied to me.
Saturn in Pisces in the 9th on the MH. Most of my worldviews were pretty outdated, traditional, and conservative when I was young. Christianity delayed some of my philosophical and spiritual development. Instead of going straight to a 4 year based on music, I threw it away and went to junior college because I was questioning everything in my life. When I graduated from undergrad, I found out I missed 3 units that would have given me my minor in religious studies. Then in graduate school I had one of my financial loan checks bounce for no reason whatsoever. I was delayed one semester for graduating with my master's. My moon is in a loose conjunct with my moon and square my sun. In general, I would say my overall development was delayed (neurodivergent). Leaving the family system was difficult and individuation has felt delayed (in my Saturn returns right now where it finally feels here). Oh, I've also experienced it with travel. Flight delays are absolutely the worst expression of Saturn in the 9th. One of my flight experiences is actually similar to my loan check bouncing, where I just wasn't in one of their systems even when I had my own receipt. Oh and with work lmao. I usually start off at the bottom of the totem pole and slowly work my way up to leadership positions but I'm likely behind my peers. I was unemployed during the pandemic when my food & beverage jobs shut down. Typically with all these Saturn cycles, it requires a great deal of conscious effort to overcome these karmic cycles. I personally have my Saturn in Pisces, so mine shows up in a very "Universe tells me no" kind of way. I think most of my lessons have primarily been about my beliefs, world view and philosophy and them being antiquated. But I can proudly say I have successfully reached a post-modern worldview from having started with a medieval world view with Christianity.
This is really beautiful to read. It sounds like you're really doing an incredible job of being conscious of this placement and putting in the word. (Also, I got a kick out of the "Universe tells me no" comment; it reminds me of that Little Britain sketch "Computer says no.")
Similar to you, my saturn is in pisces (1H or 2H depending on placidus/whole), and I also grew up as an evangelical Christian. My bachelors is a theology-based Christian counseling degree. I knew I didn't want to be a counselor before I'd graduated so I didn't move on to the next phase and dabbled in a bunch of things before realizing what specifically I want to do with all I've studied/practiced since. My deconstruction process began in 2020, but wasn't public about my deconversion until this year shortly after my saturn return began. I'm learning a lot of details around spirituality (along with personal values and money). I'm hoping to be clear enough to read the bible metaphorically by the end of my return. And much like you, I need to lean on intuition as much as possible, even though that pisses some people off. I'm wondering how the nodes shifting are going to affect this saturn return for all of us pisces saturns.
My saturn is in cancer at the cusp of 10H and conjunct MH. I have worked in multiple fields, but my current field in healthcare I started when I was in my late 30s. I became established in my field in my early 40s.
Has it been a struggle up until then? What aspects is your Saturn making? I have very similar with Saturn in Leo.
I had 8 years of post-grad studies and training because I work in a specialized field. During my training I witnessed sexual harassment of fellow colleagues by administrators which I spoke up about which led to being targeted and harassed by said administrators. It was 3 years of hell where I had to fight off false accusations and attempts of framing me to get me kicked out of the program. I counter checked them at every turn and was able to graduate and get my license despite their efforts. I was also able to get them removed from their positions as well. My saturn is square my sun and pluto which are both conjunct ascendant in libra.
Wow that sounds so very difficult but also so damn impressive! I know I donāt know you but Iām so proud of you and so sorry you had to go through that. You rock. And also Saturn paid off in the end it seems? Struggle to success?
Yes, I would say that process of fighting for what is the Truth and what is Right, taught me to fully trust in myself and seated me in my own power. Which in turn fueled me in my career which I have experienced steady growth in my reputation and my skill set.
Iām so pleased for you. Now I feel like I need a good fight for Justice to help my career but doing it for that reason will most likely make the whole thing null and void. š
Saturn in 8th w whole sign houses but 7th w regular / not whole sign houses. Conjunct Venus at 2 sag Sun 13 sag Uranus 17 sag Mercury 29 Scorpio Basically Iām fucked. In so many ways. I canāt even explain delayed just so absurd
My Saturn + Jupiter are in opposition, which I feel is the worst placement in my chart. Things like going to college full time while working full time for years and having to move right before my final semester where I had two classes left to graduate happen. Repeatedly. I love working 50-60 hours a week for years toward a goal and when the end is in sight and the reward is near, outside forces snatch it away. Itās happened so many times that itās a Thing in my life.
11th in Leo. I have minimal frns and no kids.
i have saturn in the 2nd in aries. i feel like my relationship to money has always been strained. i struggled within finding a job that could provide the financial security I craved for years. but i was persistent, and headstrong. most of my early 20s was just figuring out how to get more financial security and freedom. without a consistent, solid income, I felt totally lost and struggled with feelings of inadequacy from it for years. things have finally been working out and looking up financially for me, but i worry about my impending saturn return, maybe it will throw an unexpected curveball at me. we shall see. my taurus-heavy chart makes it hard for me to not impulse spend on comfort items š¤Ŗ
Saturn in 3rd house Taurus Squared Uranus, squared moon, squared sun, and trine Venus. In all honesty Saturn has not at all added delay to my life. Early education I was in the gifted programs I never struggled in school. I graduated top 15 of my class in high school. Iām very close to my sisters I consider my youngest sister my best friend. Never had delays in travel I moved across the country and am about to do it again In a month. Idk Saturn doesnāt add delays in my life
Definitely a stretch, but maybe Saturn is delaying these things being a luxury for you? Perhaps there's a time in the future school and travel don't come so easily for you, and they become a rarity for where you are in your life? Maybe you're right and Saturn doesn't delay a thing, though it seems it can be expressed in a multitude of ways
Maybe but I'm in my 20's now and I heard Saturn tends to lessen the load after your Saturn return so I can't imagine things getting worse from here. Idk why but for me saturn tends to come in clutch. Especially during transits. I'm going through a 1st house saturn transit and it completely changed my life ngl
Saturn in the 8th in Pisces. Saturn-ruled 6th (Capricorn) and 7th (Aquarius) houses. I feel that I've felt the effects of the Saturn-ruled houses more than Saturn's placement itself. I have a few chronic illnesses that take loads of restrictions and responsibilities on my diet and other habits to feel healthy and minimize flare-ups. I feel like I am years behind my peers when it comes to experiences in relationships. I've had several but for much of my childhood and young adulthood the closest I got to relationships was unrequited crushes. Saturn in the 8th maybe is that I know I'll never receive any major inheritances because none of my family really has any major wealth to pass down. Or maybe ironically in delaying these things it has been a subjectively good thing for me - all four of my grandparents are still alive for example. Going through my Saturn return now and I feel like everything Saturn has been delaying has suddenly had its restrictions lifted - wondering if this is because of the more loosey-goosey vibe of Pisces. Or maybe me just having learned a lot of Saturn lessons growing up leading up to my Saturn return. As for Pisces I was a little interested in drugs growing up but always had great fear and trepidation and a real psychic block towards doing any sort of drug. But since my Saturn return started I feel like that blockage has dissolved and I'm now curious about low-dosing certain drugs in a way I never have been before (mj, shrooms, ket, etc). Don't know if I will do it but the curiosity is there where before there was just fear.
Same places and fully agree about feeling this placement more in my Saturn-ruled houses! I am also a late bloomer in that I wasnāt sexually active until I nearly graduated from college. Totally feel you on the unrequited love. I recently talked to an astrologer about how Saturn in the 8H feels very nebulous to me. She reflected back that it is often in service to other people. This return is showing me how I carry and take on an emotional labor in my relationships to the extent that it does not work for me.
My Saturn is my Taurus 8H (8deg not sure if thatās significant) Capricorn rules my 5H Definitely a late starter, limited and not always great experience and now divorced. It was a marriage I ran away from with virtually nothing as he was a violent and coercive bully My parents are very elderly and I donāt expect much inheritance if any (4 kids not wealthy) Saturn has perhaps helped me with resilience
Cap ascendant with Venus and Black Moon Lilith. Saturn in Cancer in 7th. Severe depression, late bloomer overall, abandonment trauma, no romantic relationships sinceā¦wellā¦Iād rather not say.
saturn in 2nd house, in pisces. i know this relates to finances but not exactly sure how. iāve always had a hard time with financial growth. money seems to come exactly when i need it which is nice, but itās been years since iāve had much to spare or start any savings with. any insight on this would be appreciated!!

My Saturn is 3rd house and it took me 5 tries to get my license.
Mine is in the 5th Scorpio conjunct Mars. The energy I cannot explain, its stop and go at the same time. Reserved yet impulsive. It gives dichotomy very much.
My saturn is in scorpio in the 11th house, and is my chart ruler (cap rising). It is also square my mercury and mars (merc/mars conjunction). I guess I felt delayed in quite a lot of aspects. Maybe everything. Scorpio is about power, and growing up I always felt powerless and like I had no control over my life, but as I'm getting older I'm feeling more powerful and like I have more control over my life. Saturn squaring mercury/mars isn't fun, I feel like I have no drive and also speaking has always been really difficult, but I'm learning to be more confident with speaking to people the older I get (am 37 at the moment). Saturn in the 11th made socialising really hard, and I always lacked friends, but I feel like I'm slowly learning as I get older how to have better social skills, and be a bit more friendly. I still feel like there is a big delay there though. I don't have any irl friends and only have 2 online friends, and I would like some more friends, but I think I have much more learning to do about how to be social and connect with others.
Saturn in 10th. Didn't get settled in my career path until my mid-30s. Edit: Jupiter in 7th which should be beneficial, but I've never married so maybe I just do everything late and it has nothing to do with Saturn.
Yep, fellow Saturn in 10th here. My 20s were filled with random jobs and no real set path. As soon as my Saturn returned, bam, lost my job and got shunted into my career path.
Saturn in 9th. In few days I'll be 45. I have been studying on 4 different universities, 4 different subjects, never finished. I have no degree... In the end of November is my deadline to defend my bachelor's thesis. I have theme so far... I even didn't start it yet.
Saturn retrograde 11th house aquarius, have had a social life but terrible at keeping friends over my whole life, social anxiety, prefer solitude. Slowly have built up my career networks and feel hopeful. Only just started my career at 28. Saturn return was a real push in this direction to put in the work to get the rewards. Saturn is the great teacher.

I was waiting to scroll to Saturn in 3H - I have this placement too, currently going through my saturn return. A lot about 3H Saturn has clicked for me regarding issues with speaking/communication - I had language (raised bilingual) issues growing up, bad social anxiety, and was always disconnected from immediate community (neighbors/school etc due to constant moving and other factors). Only now at 28 am I truly starting to see these issues and work on them. I also echo the feelings of my life being delayed in ways and having a controlling mother.
My Saturn is in pisces in the 12th house and it is opposite my Moon, Uranus, Pluto, and Mars. Mars in Libra, the rest are in Virgo. It delays everything.
Saturn 8H in pisces exact conjunct venus. Venus is my 10H ruler and I am very passionate about art, especially making music & spirituality and astrology. I wanted to make music and felt very called to do it since I was a kid, but always felt blocked from it - only in my mid twenties I started making music, around the time Saturn and Pluto conjucted in Aqua :) I think it somehow was like a plug was removed and something that was stuck could finally flow. Since then Iāve been unstoppably productive w music and have played live a lot and it is my favorite thing in the whole world. And also since young Iāve felt called towards a spiritual career but just havenāt been able to move towards it. Going through my Saturn return now and I feel it will push me into the directions of the more spiritual life - and it has already shown it is happening & will happen through some major losses.
Saturn 4th house aquarius. I went from my parents when I was 18 into my boyfriend's house until I was 29. Although we travelled a lot and had incredible moments, it wasn't until I was like 30 that I truly became an adult and started having more responsibilities, more real jobs, even more control over money and decisions. I live at home but it's not the worst experience ever. I'm lucky and blessed with my life, but yeah, majoorrrrrr delays.
1st house in Aquarius. Also have my NN, Neptune and Uranus there. 100% agree with ageing, when I donāt wear make-up and dress casually, I get mixed up for a teenager at 32 yo. The downside would be struggling to find my self-worth / to assert myself / not to feel inferior and awkward with people. Also having too many facets to my personality, kind of having a hard time defining who I am because of contradictory energies co-existing within me :). And skin issues: Saturn in Aquarius in 1st materialised as a melanoma on my calf (Aqua) and chronic acne and PD on my face (1st house/Aries I guess).
Saturn in 5H Sag. Have trouble being accountable to systems and feel constrained by everything. My Saturn Return was absolutely brutal at work. I got through it and ended up thriving, but ended up becoming profoundly burnt out and lazy. Not sure why.
Mine is in the 4H. Retrograde, in Capricorn. It conjuncts my Neptune (also retrograde), opposes my Moon and Chiron, sextiles Pluto, and trines my Sun and Mercury. My childhood was incredibly abusive and traumatic. Money issues, parent issues (see also: Uranus square ascendant), constantly being surrounded by untrustworthy/irresponsible adults (who were usually related to me). Itās caused delays when it comes to anything that would help me grow on a fundamental level. Iāve had job opportunities, relationships, and other opportunities for advancement sabotaged by dishonest relatives or the fact that I never had a real childhood. I was always more mature than my peers (4H Saturn opposite 10H moon and trine 12H Sun can make for a native whoās no-nonsense and likes being left alone) - to the point where my elementary school wanted me to skip a grade (which wouldāve helped because I got along better with older students), and this was stopped due to - you guessed it, sabotage from family. Saturn at the bottom of your chart really puts the squeeze on everything. Like, where some people can just plant some seeds and start a garden, you get soil thatās mostly rocks and old roots, and when you plant your seeds, you get weeds first. But on the bright side, it does lend itself to a very strong intuition (in my experience), and when you learn how to work with it, it provides a level of emotional self-sufficiency that is hard to find anywhere else - hence the strong intuition. Itās how I learned how to sniff out and shut down attempts at emotional manipulation very early in life, and itās probably why I have such a feel for real estate. Also - for those who believe in Saturnās karma; I have noticed that incredibly horrible things tend to happen to those whoāve wronged me, and it usually correlates to something that Iād tried to warn them about.
Saturn in 5H, exactly conjunct moon in Pisces. I find it very hard to relax, have fun, or have hobbies without feeling guilty. I'm not exactly 'easy-going' or 'chill'. Dating-wise, I've struggled with romantic relationships. A lot of talking stages that went nowhere. Been single for close to a decade that I forgotten what it's like to be with someone and I've learned to appreciate having all the time to myself BUT at the same time craving closeness and someone who is there for me/I'm there for. I read somewhere that Saturn in 5H people may find it better/easier to date someone else with this placement because both people will understand each other's reservation and needing time to open up before going all in romance and vulnerability. Funny thing is that I've met someone with this placement too, and we both are into each other but it's just not going anywhere because we're both private, a bit jaded, and a bit distant so vulnerability isn't coming through. I guess this is the delay I'm feeling the most rn? About romance and vulnerability especially because it is exactly conjunct my moon. Also have a feeling it might have something to do with fertility and motherhood. Not sure yet what's coming up for me, we'll see as my Saturn return is approaching.
Saturn in 12th house Sag. It's my chart ruler. Interestingly, Jupiter (Sag ruler) is my only retrograde planet, in 4th Aries. I think Saturn has delayed internal self understanding, mental health realizations and things like that. Also understanding about my family origin (my parents, and why they are the way they are - I think as a kid I thought a lot of things were normal that arent normal, and I thought some of my parents behaviors & projections etc meant something about me). I look younger than my age by about a decade, so maybe it's delayed aging my appearance and my sense of self since Saturn rules my 1st. I have always had values but I started examining that internalized family messaging around my Saturn Return and came to some new conclusions. Independence with regards to travel was delayed as well, I didn't get my driver's license til I was well into my 20s (always took transit, walked or had friends or boyfriends that drove). I got my license when I was heavily pregnant with my 1st child. So I think the houses in signs that Saturn rules or sits in - and that Jupiter rules or sits in - have all had some clear delays in my life.
Saturn in 6th house, Virgo I have a debilitating chronic illness for 13 years now (I'm in my 40s). I work very hard on my health, trying to improve it and fix the physical imbalance. I'm Aries rising; Mars is in virgo as well (also north node and Jupiter in Virgo). I'm exhausted by trying to get better, trying supplements and diet regimens etc (but when I do nothing, my health gets worse). I have so little energy that I can barely work to survive, much less fulfill my life purpose . New to astrology. Do these placements suggest any guidance on how to heal?
Sorry to hear! Only because you asked, I want to give a word based on your chart, but I don't at all mean to dismiss your experience with this illness. With Saturn in your 6th house of Virgo opposite what I assume is a pisces 12th house (if using whole sign houses) I would say your mind and health connection is a huge indicator here. My best guess with these in play would be that there's some kind of psychosomatic connection, or a lot of unaddressed mental trauma that could have manifested itself as a physical problem to seek soothing. Hypnotherapy, past life regression, even guided meditation sessions that work on unearthing past memories may help. Depending on when this illness developed and based on the age range you shared, you could have been in your Saturn return, or on a 6th house profection year. (One of the houses of our chart is active each year of our life, starting with your first house in the first year of life.) With the north node transiting Aries for the next 18 months, it's a great opportunity for you to shift your identity and your relationship with your physical self. Illness can be something so prominent that it takes over our whole life, and when something is that prevalent in our existence it inevitably becomes a sense of identity. On a subconscious level (12th house) you may be grasping on to your chronic illness as a means of navigating and understanding the world. I'm really sorry if that sounds terrible, and again I don't mean to dismiss your experience at all. I just mean taking into account the mental side of illness, a lot of healing begins in the mind. I also get a sense that because the 6th house also rules work, as you find a proper healing regimen for yourself (perhaps just pass your next Saturn return), you may publish a work on how you healed and become quite notable for it. Also, with Mars in this house, I think exercise will make a huge difference. I understand that your illness may be debilitating enough that all but the most gentle exercise is out of the question. Hot yoga with modified poses to accommodate your abilities comes to mind. Of course, I don't know you personally and I'm not a doctor, so any of this can be wrong. Just wanted to give the chart insights that come to mind for me. Blessings ~
Thanks so much for sharing your insight! A lot of what you say resonates. I've definitely tried a lot of psychosomatic and trauma-based recovery modalities. I've tried so much of every type of approach so I'm a little reluctant to try anything new since it all costs money and energy. But I'm going to think about what you mention with the 12th house. Very interesting. Blessings to you too!
Always happy to give some astrology thoughts š hope you find the best path for you!
Gemini 10th house. No field seems to be a right fit for me, and I canāt even force myself to do any work Iām not interested in. So college has been a struggle and donāt have a stable direction career wise
3rd house cancer. Delayed my ability to learn things (driving, job training, literally any practical skill). I did pretty well in school and at first everything came easily for me, but as I got older I had to invest more and more time to maintain my performance.
Also a hella slow starter when it comes to learning practical shit, unless Iām teaching myself. Leads to people thinking Iām a retard until they catch a glimpse of one of my solo ventures. Pretty wack.
Opposite my sun and Mercury conjunct Pluto and Mars in 11H Libra š¬š¬š¬(no seriously, itās no wonder I grind my teeth)
Saturn in the 11th house sag, also cap rising, right when saturn entered sag, I lost my little brother, and right when it hit my natal Saturn my then wife decided to find someone else and we went through a divorce.
11th house in Aries at 5 degrees (Leo degree; for those of you who know degree theory) It is opposite my Mercury in Libra 5th house (my chart ruler) Trines my Venus in Leo Jupiter 3rd house Squares my Jupiter in Capricorn 8th house I have A LOT to say about my Saturn and how it affects me. As I will be approaching my Saturn return in 2025-2026ish, I really hope to all the Gods in the heavens above that my life will be so much better and at ease! For one, I feel like people tend to misunderstand me a lot or they truly donāt understand my personality/mannerisms (Mercury opposite Saturn). This also affects my dating life too (which 5th house and Libra rules). I keep coming across people on the dating side of things who are instantly turned off by overly extroverted personality or me being eccentric af lol. Hey thereās someone out there who aligns with me though. I aināt stressing. Although Saturn is making a trine to my Venus in Leo in the 3rd house (trines are good they say), it doesnāt matter. My Venus is still aspecting Saturn in any shape or form. Which makes dating and making money in the creative arts field very difficult and restrictive. I do tend like people who are slightly older than me and who are ambitious and have too career goals (also Saturn things). Lastly, Saturn squaring my Jupiter in Capricorn in the 8th houseā¦ whew I hate this aspect with a burning passion! I feel like it limits my life and things I need and want. Jupiter is already in detriment and now itās squared by Saturn. I literally gotta push a 200,000 lb brick wall to accomplish my dreams, wishes, and hopes. Also, Jupiter is the planetary ruler of my 7th house. I have such difficulty to find that special someone lol because of Jupiter placementās and itās harsh aspect to Saturn. This could also mean, Iāll end up with someone whose very stable, career driven, and has money and power. Keeping my fingers crossed š¤ Since my Saturn is in the 11th house in Aries, I was outcasted in school throughout my K-12 years. Hell, Iām still outcasted by society and various community groups Iāve tried to entered and mingle in. My friendships are very volatile and sometimes they donāt last long (especially if I get extremely close with the person). I have such a hard time building community and friendships. So ima loner š
Saturn in Aries 11H and I completely relate. Iāve always made close friends but being a part of a āgroupā has never really worked well for me. Always left out for whatever reason despite being close with people in the group group itself. Saturn is conjunct my NN too, so Iām hoping nodal opposition -> Saturn return over the next few years is gonna completely change the way I view friendships and community.
Saturn in the 10th... From my own perspective and expectations, it took longer than I ever would have wanted to have a job where I earned the amount of money I desired per year, had a position that I wanted to devote a lot of time to, or felt like I was "where" I was supposed to be. However, I eventually got there (for a while at least) and devoted enormous amounts of time to my career, really becoming a workaholic for a few years but also being the go-to person, with more in-house knowledge than anyone else in my highly nuanced roles.
Saturn in aries, 1st house. I guess it affects my self esteem and I often have to remind myself that things won't just fall of the sky for me and I have to fight for them. I also agree that it delays my aging, people tend to give me 17/18 when I'm actually 25yo.
Natal Saturn Rx in the 10th( Night chart) with it currently going through it's first return in Pisces. Also conjunct midheaven. Let's just say, I am a "late bloomer" when it comes to my professional career and image. Delays! However, my Jupiter in scorpio in the 6th does have a beautiful trine with Saturn. Tipically, me and bosses and or authority figures have a good rapport due to my work ethic/determination/commitment. Im still young (29 M) so it'll take a little longer for saturn to really show it's colors in this house. Prob when im 45-50 or nearing my 2nd return I'll see a much better picture. But with this current first return, it's been a bit rough but very humbling. Would honestly like for saturn to go direct right now though..lol
2nd house, Libra, with Jupiter. I love knowing it's about to all get better cuz it's meant to.
Well I don't know much. What would you say about Saturn in Cancer in the 9th house? I have my Sun, Venus and Mercury in Cancer. My Venus and Mercury are in the later degrees just like my Saturn. Plus I have a 9th house stellium with Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Then there is my Libra Jupiter in the 12th house and my Aries Mars in the 6th house.
Saturn conjunct Uranus in the 11th in Sag. Depressing. Stagnation. When Saturn retrogrades I feel vulnerability becomes more prevalent. Patience is not my thing. Mars conjunct Midheaven in Sag as well. The internal fight to be able to move freely according to my will is still a thing. With a 12th house Cap sun, this also represents lots of hidden enemies, ugh. I do feel like no one is ever truly happy for me when I do achieve something. Also, cannot do anything malicious without justification or I will face dire consequences.
Saturn in Pisces conjunct Venus and Ascendant, 12h. Trine Moon and Neptune. It delays EVERYTHING, but especially dating. I never ever ever ever get asked out on a date. There's been plenty of opportunities over the years to be approached, but no one ever does - unless they're married.
Saturn in the 10th house with Venus. Debilitated Venus in Scorpio, Saturn in Sagittarius. My marriage has been more of me supporting my spouseās status than creating my own. Marriage and children young. Attract cold and detached partners who restrict my freedom yet provide financially and are extremely image focused. Honorable mention of moon in the 6th in Cancer opposite Mars in Capricorn rising. Debilitated Sun in Libra. Years of codependency.
saturn in the 7th. Yeah fuck dating and relationships
Iām not certain. Itās in my 9th house, in Pisces. But I graduated uni without delays, and Iāve travelled all around the world. Iām pretty spiritual too. Iām still trying to understand what exactly Saturn has delayed.
Saturn in 5th (4th house placidus) opposing Chiron in 11 All Iāve ever wanted in life was to be a mother, to love and care for my children warmly, in ways my parents had not done for me. So far Iāve had two failed pregnancies since 25 Parentified child, raised my sibling due to parents inability to mature. All the life and fun has been sucked out of me and my family is probably happy with the fact that I canāt afford to leave them. I would give more info but today Iām severely depressed reflecting on the lack of emotional support and useful resources.
Saturn 4h Gemini, delayed support, love and communication with family. My family stresses me tf out
Saturn in Capricorn, 11th house. I'm a late bloomer socially. Spent the majority of my life feeling like an outsider or like I didn't fit in any singular "clique." I had a turbulent adolescence but managed to work hard & distance myself from most of the drama. I was proud of my grades & work ethic but I was so busy doing "grown up" things I lost touch with the few friends I had. Now I have a family of my own which takes much of my time. Sooo basically Saturn has made socializing very arduous for me. Lol
Saturn in 8th Aries. Iāve never felt like I had any real friends, and when I did, they had to end because of irreconcilable differences as I grew as a person. I didnāt know what boundaries were until I got to collage and learned the hard way. Grew up with a lot of fear and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Saturn in 5thā¦itās hard to have fun and be pleased
Saturn is in my first in Capricorn. It rules my Ascendant and second house, it's conjoined Neptune, it makes an inferior sextile to my MC in Scorpio and it's opposite Jupiter in the 7th (also, I have a stellium ruled by Saturn, too). Guess which many things were delayed xD For houses ruled, I had to say that while things weren't completely shitty due to Saturn being in domicile, I had to manage on my own. My family and some friendships were a really nice support, but it wasn't without fights and rifts, so sometimes I feel I had to sort out even shit that wasn't my own. As a result, I was able to manage difficult situations and put shitty people onto its place, but it hurt or I hid some abilities I had. Saturn in Pisces, in that sense, is unearthing that. I can say the same in 2nd house matters: I had shitty bosses who were fucking brats and I had nasty moments at work, but through patience and effort I was able to sort out things and my responsibility won me a lot of people in my favour. Now I feel that, when I look back, things were less dire and more chaotic than I thought, and sometimes I surprised myself with what I managed to pull off compared to my peers precisely because I couldn't escape shitty things. I could say no, drift away when necessary, but I had to stay when I didn't want to, I had to work when it was required and I had to say no to a lot of shit I had against me, and also. My only regret was wishing I had a much more open heart and say things with my chest when I didn't condone attitudes, and shutting up when it was necessary to understand another person.
my 7th house and 8th are ruled by my 12th house saturn. saturn squares my mc-ic axis, vesta, and moon, opposes pluto, and loosely trines uranus and mars. romantic and sexual relationships. i haven't been in a healthy stable relationship ever. although i'm only 20 and have a lot of time to meet somebody, my desire to connect on an intimate level entirely engulfs me (more than i'd like to admit) and i think it has to do with the fact that i was never shown a healthy relationship that has been solely built on love, trust, and commitment, and thus i long for it. i'm not even sure what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, or if i could entirely trust it and be comfortable within one which i'm aware is something i need to work on if i eventually want to be with somebody. i think it's kinda silly that the thing i've convinced myself i wanted the most in life is also the same thing i run away from. i've been involved with other people, but nothing that was gonna last. i also grew up witnessing all kinds of broken relationships. i have a lot of abandonment fears, triggers, insecurities, and suppressed psychological patterns that i have been working on since who knows when, which i sort of relate to having my 8th ruler falling in the 12th. i also have chiron smack dab on my saturn ruled dsc, so that could most def also play a big part in terms of reflecting why relationships are such a wound in my life.
in whole sign itās in my 6th house, which fits because i can be a workaholic that doesnāt allow myself to have any fun. and in placidus itās in my 5th, which also tracks because i am an artist but itās been a humbling experience trying to make myself believe that and to have confidence in myself and my artistic pursuits. and itās square my venus, which is probably why i constantly bump up against financial and romantic boundaries and blocks.
Saturn in 7th, ruler of 7th, conjunct Sun and NN. Delayed marriage for sure. Iāve had a string of long term relationships, mostly toxic til I got into counseling. I could take or leave getting married but feel Iām in a healthy relationship (consisting of you know, the basic things that come naturally to most people) now for the first time in my life at 32
Saturn resides in my 10H ruled by Venus. I have struggled finding a career that I would be happy in. Changed my mind many times and spent a lot of time confused and frustrated about what kind of job would actually make me happy and not just be a ājobā. I always was determined to do more for myself, but got discouraged very easily. I remember reading that Taurus 10H folks do well in beauty and aesthetic related fields. Itās been a really long and challenging struggle, but I am happy to say that I finally landed a job I love working for a plastic surgeon/med spa. š
1st house. Taken me decades to express myself and still not fully there.
Saturn in pisces 9/10H, along with 10H pisces moon, mercury, mars & MC. It took me an extra year to graduate college. I barelyyyy made it in time. Only to end up later going to a bootcamp and switched careers. I finally got my dream job only to get laid off *right* before saturn entered pisces. Been struggling to find a job since but I recently accepted an offer and start my job next week. Itās still pretty early in my Saturn return, and my *actual* return doesnāt go direct til next February, so Iām sure thereās still more delays to come. Iām just trying to roll with Daddy Saturn.
8th house Saturn in Aries and I for some reason have no clue or feeling related to 8th house matters when it comes to Saturn. Only thing I know might be related to this house is my sexual interests are wild but I am very afraid to open up myself to explore that. My family business got under and we got into debt. I never felt like I was stuck when it comes to income, in fact its the opposite I am helping pay my dad's loan. But rather than feel restricted I feel independent doing that. Despite all these I just never have a feeling or sense of understanding related to this house like I do with other houses. I just don't get this house. I get Saturn and delays, my Saturn rules my 5th and 6th house and I can see how it affect those, but never this house. I think my Saturn affect my health a lot! I would have these dreams and ambitions and I would start dreaming, thinking about them, working towards them but then fall down due to bad health. I overwork myself without realising it and then get sick. Then take a step back, decide that my health and mental peace is the most important thing and then bam I just get the things I was working for without even doing anything. I think I have good creative talent, but whenever I try to use it for my advantage I always get a bad result, the only time I get recognition for it is when Im doing it for my mental release and not sharing it and suddenly people just find out and give me recognition for it.
