1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm 2 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,720 your host, Alice Bell, and today we're doing a whole 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,839 episode just on Saturn. So I wanted to consolidate all 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,679 the information about Saturn, like Saturn in your birth charts, 5 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:23,039 Saturn through transits, Saturn return, Saturn square, Saturn oppositions into 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,359 one singular episode because I get so many questions about 7 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,519 this planet and like just people in my DMS asking 8 00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:31,800 what they can expect with a Saturn return, or people 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960 that might be older than that asking what they can 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,560 expect with a Saturn square, and so in the future, 11 00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:41,799 anytime I get asked this question about Saturn, I just 12 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,600 want to be able to refer people to this helpful 13 00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:47,799 guide to this planet. And also it feels time relevant 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,399 because Saturn just changed signs a few weeks ago, as 15 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,759 it finally left Pisces and moved into Aries on February thirteenth, 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,159 twenty twenty six, until April of twenty twenty eight, so 17 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,640 we're in a new Saturn cycle for the next two years. 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,000 That applies to everyone because Saturn's now activating a new 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,280 house in your chart, so we'll get into what that means. 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,319 Of course, throughout this episode. But I just also love 21 00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:18,560 Saturn as a planet. It might be my favorite planet 22 00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:21,400 out of all of them. And it doesn't mean I 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,200 don't know Saturn. I don't love a Saturn transit in 24 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:28,680 the moment, but I really appreciate it for what it 25 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,640 accomplishes and how it pushes you to actually get stuff 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,519 done in the part of your chart that it's moving through, 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,319 unlike let's say Jupiter, which can tend to overpromise and 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,879 not deliver as much concrete action in a certain house. 29 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,640 So I love Saturn because it shows concrete results and 30 00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:54,599 it urges you to level up in these various areas 31 00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,519 of your life as it moves through all the twelve 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,280 houses of your chart over a thirty year period. And 33 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,439 after the last five years or so, I feel like 34 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,319 I know a lot more about how Saturn works because 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,120 I've had Saturn transit over basically every planet in my chart. 36 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,639 So when it was an Aquarius from twenty twenty one 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,280 to twenty twenty three, Saturn crossed over my son, my Mercury, 38 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,400 my descendant line. I had my Saturn return in twenty 39 00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:24,680 twenty two exactly, and then from twenty twenty three up 40 00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:28,360 until this past month when Saturn was in Pisces, I 41 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:31,800 had it go over my Moon and Venus and Pisces, 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,599 so some of those transits were harder than others. I'm 43 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:36,879 going to go over what it's like to have Saturn 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,439 aspects specific planets in your chart in addition to the houses. 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280 But yeah, I want to talk on this because I 46 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,199 just feel like I came out of a huge cycle 47 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,240 of Saturn and I want to share about what other 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,800 people entering into this might expect with this transit. So 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,520 run of show today will be first talking about Saturn 50 00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:58,840 in your berth chart, what it means when it falls 51 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,280 in a certain house, also what it means when it's 52 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,840 an aspect with natal planets in your birth chart. Then 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,800 we'll spend some time talking about transit Saturn, Saturn transiting 54 00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,360 through different signs and houses in your chart, and also 55 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:17,599 making aspects to natal planets along the way. And then 56 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,800 I want to wrap up with talking about the various 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280 phases of Saturn as part of its whole twenty nine 58 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:26,879 year cycle as it makes its return at the end 59 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,159 of the twenty nine years in your life every twenty 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,159 nine years in your life, but also in seven year increments, 61 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000 we get Saturn square, Saturn oppositions, Saturn square again and 62 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,439 then another return. So those are really key in understanding 63 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,960 just phases you go through at specific ages. Also, if 64 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 you want to go deeper with transiting Saturn, I did 65 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,879 put out two episodes last May and June twenty twenty five. 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 If you search back in this podcast, those episodes are 67 00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:59,560 called Saturn Transit Stories Part One and Saturn Transit Stories 68 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,280 Part two, and I had listeners write in examples of 69 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:07,599 what exactly has happened in their life with Saturn that 70 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,680 Saturn transit and Pisces through that Pisce's world house of 71 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:15,199 their chart over the last couple of years, And if 72 00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,839 you have one that's coming up, you can listen to 73 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,319 what someone ahead of you with the rising sign ahead 74 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,720 of you has just experienced. And before we fully get 75 00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,480 into it, I just have a few announcements for the week. 76 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,000 I just wanted to remind you of where you can 77 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,519 find other astrology teachings for me if you're enjoying this podcast, 78 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,680 I have a whole sub stack Astrology with Alice that 79 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,480 has a mix of free and paid articles where I 80 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,639 also do in depth monthly horoscopes and yearly horoscopes, and 81 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,920 I teach monthly workshops on niche astrology topics. I think 82 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:53,399 the one we're going to do this month, I'm pretty 83 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:55,600 sure I'm planning it for March twenty second, but stay 84 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:59,079 tuned for more details. We'll be on career timing with 85 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,600 and looking at different techniques to show major breakthrough moments 86 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,600 in your career. Also, I have my book Trust Your Timing. 87 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,120 I feel like I never promote my book just because 88 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,759 it came out a couple of years ago, but it's 89 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,160 still I feel like astrology books are timeless in that way. 90 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,879 So if you want to understand the basics of your 91 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:23,240 birth chart like houses, signs, planets, aspects more, as well 92 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,399 as get like a basic foundation of what transits are, 93 00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:31,399 specifically looking at relationship oriented transits and when you can 94 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:36,319 expect a more dating activity, reach a major relationship milestone, 95 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:38,959 or possibly go through a breakup or something challenging in 96 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,199 a relationship that can be I mean that book is 97 00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,600 it teaches you how to start timing those things to 98 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,279 your own chart. So again it's called Trust Your Timing. 99 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:50,800 It's out wherever you buy books. And also I have 100 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,439 a whole foundation course on learning transits also on my 101 00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,399 website Alicebellastrology dot com, and that's where you can find 102 00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:00,560 the rest of my offerings as well. So, yeah, I 103 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,879 just wanted to share some other resources for where you 104 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,120 can find me. But yeah, with that being said, let's 105 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,800 get into talking about Saturn. So we're first starting off 106 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,480 with looking at Saturn in your birth chart, and everyone's 107 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,439 going to have Saturn in a specific sign and house 108 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:20,800 of your chart. Saturn takes about two and a half 109 00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:23,480 years to move through one sign of the zodiac, so 110 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,160 everyone in your similar age group is going to have 111 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,439 Saturn in the same sign. And it's interesting to look 112 00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,839 at that, like if you're wanting to study the astrology 113 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,959 of different generations and even like looking at a fifteen 114 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:42,120 year generation and breaking it down into even more micro 115 00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,000 age ranges within that bigger generation, that's when you look 116 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,519 to Saturn, because people in that same Saturn age group, 117 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,519 like I'm born under Saturn and Aquarius, and everyone from 118 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,439 nineteen ninety one to very early nineteen ninety four, with 119 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,399 the exception of a couple in the summer of nineteen 120 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:04,800 ninety three, we all have Saturn and Aquarius. So we 121 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:11,680 may approach work and responsibility and innovation for the future 122 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,480 and what type of structures we want to build in 123 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:18,399 a similar way. And then the next kind of micro 124 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,839 generation beneath me would be the Saturn in Pisces, which 125 00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:28,319 is nineteen ninety four until nineteen ninety six. So because 126 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,399 the Saturn sign applies to such a wide range of people, 127 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,920 I really prioritize its house placement in your chart over 128 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,120 the sign, and when you're looking at where Saturn falls 129 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,079 in your chart, it's important to identify what are the 130 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,439 house topics of where it's located, and how might that 131 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,240 area of your life just feel a bit more challenging 132 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,879 than other areas, especially earlier on in your life. I 133 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,800 really do feel like Saturn's placement tends to bring up delays, 134 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,319 greater challenges, and more opsticles to overcome in that part 135 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,879 of your life. And even if it doesn't, it just 136 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,319 can be an area that you take super seriously and 137 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,399 it may be harder to venture out and take risks 138 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,800 there or fully trust your own intuition. It's almost like 139 00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:18,120 you need a guide book on that area, Like it's 140 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,639 hard for you to trust your own instincts and go 141 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,319 off and do your own thing. You kind of need 142 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,360 to see, Okay, how have people done this before me? 143 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,519 Or you're just more cautious about maybe fully being yourself 144 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,960 in that part of your life or taking a bigger risk, 145 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,759 like I said. But the good news is that confidence 146 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,159 builds with age where you have that Saturn placement, And 147 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960 if you start off the first part of your life 148 00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:47,879 in your teens and your twenties, maybe even carries into 149 00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:53,039 your thirties a bit just feeling low confidence or kind 150 00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:54,759 of like there's just like a lot of fear or 151 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:59,039 inhibition in that area. As you get older, that Saturn 152 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,279 placement can become an area that you have gained a 153 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,320 lot of wisdom on over the years and you can 154 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,320 speak confidently about those topics because you've had those challenges 155 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720 come up and you really know what that part of 156 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:17,320 your life is about. It's just super necessary to overcome 157 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,679 this lack mentality in the house where Saturn is located, 158 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,519 or just a fear like how do you hold yourself 159 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,440 back in that area and maybe not even realize it. So, 160 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,320 just to give a few examples, Saturn in the seventh house, 161 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,279 I have this. I know a lot of people message 162 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,200 me about having Saturn in the seventh and what that 163 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,759 means for their love life. It can make it harder 164 00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:40,799 to date, Like maybe it's just harder to open up 165 00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:44,080 and be yourself, Like you act so naturally around friends, 166 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,480 but then maybe when it comes to romantic relationships, it's 167 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,919 just harder to put yourself out there and there may 168 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,200 be a great fear of rejection, or you could just 169 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:57,480 be a bit more shy when it comes to meeting 170 00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,480 people or letting your guard down and being vulnlnerbal in 171 00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:04,120 those one on one situations. I would also say Saturn 172 00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,080 brings I think I mentioned this at the start, but 173 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,519 Saturn brings a delay often with the house topics in 174 00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,399 which it's placed. So with Saturn and the seventh, maybe 175 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,919 there's just a bigger delay on finding committed partnership or 176 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,639 having experience with long term partnerships in your life. And 177 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,159 that's something that comes more naturally as you get older. 178 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:30,000 So it's not worth comparing timelines to what other people 179 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,000 are experiencing in relationships because that's just something like I 180 00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,919 just find there needs to be more self discovery first 181 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:44,600 and greater self confidence built before the relationship area gets unlocked. Meanwhile, 182 00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:49,600 having Saturn in the tenth House. These similar fears or 183 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,440 hesitancy to put yourself out there and be fully seen 184 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,559 comes through in the realm of career and public image. 185 00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:00,480 So maybe it's harder to take career risks and it 186 00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,720 feels like you have to follow a very traditional set 187 00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:07,440 path for what success should look like, and maybe that 188 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,639 doesn't make you totally happy, and there's something you feel 189 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,360 like is missing. But it's just harder to trust yourself 190 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:17,320 with those career decisions, and that's something you're able to 191 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,879 have greater confidence around. Maybe at the time of your 192 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,200 Saturn return or in the years that follow that there's 193 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,600 just more of a knowing yourself and knowing more fully 194 00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:32,200 what you want to do with your overall life calling 195 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,320 or your long term career path. Or it could be 196 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,399 that you put a lot of pressure on yourself to 197 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,360 have it all figured out with work or take on 198 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,679 a lot and always be seen as more of a leader. 199 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,519 So maybe at the time of your Saturn return you 200 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,759 learn to take a step back and not be so 201 00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:50,120 critical of yourself when it comes to work and life 202 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:53,039 responsibilities and find a greater balance in that area of 203 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,519 your life. To give another example, Saturn in the fifth 204 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,440 House might make you more hesitant to share yourself, createatively, 205 00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:04,120 or speak up about your unique point of view. This 206 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,879 can function similarly to Saturn in the seventh when it 207 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,519 comes to love life stuff too. Maybe that just feels 208 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:12,799 like an area that you have more difficulty with and 209 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,320 it could be harder to be vulnerable about your feelings 210 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,600 with people. But like I said with Saturn in the seventh, 211 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,960 dating just becomes you start to know yourself more as 212 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120 you get older in that area, and also maybe that 213 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,639 you end up dedicating a lot of work and structure 214 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,960 to building some type of creative venture of your own. 215 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,480 It's just about getting past that fear of people criticizing 216 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:42,759 your art or your point of view. A similar Saturn 217 00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,200 transit that has a lot to do with like recognizing 218 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,559 that your perspective and your skills are valuable would be 219 00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:53,159 Saturn in the second house. And this tends to have 220 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:56,440 more of a business oriented slant, but it can be 221 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,919 that maybe it's just harder to speak up about what 222 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,039 you want at work or ask for more money, and 223 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,080 there may be this feeling of like I don't deserve 224 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:08,720 to make more money or I don't deserve to be 225 00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:11,720 respected in a bigger way in my career, or maybe 226 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,879 there's a lot of fear with starting your own business 227 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,720 or going out it alone at work, but that may 228 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,039 become unlocked or become an easier part of your life 229 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,320 again as you get older and learned how to speak 230 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,080 up and recognize that you do bring valuable skills to 231 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:30,480 work and people need to recognize that and pay you 232 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:34,159 a certain rate or respect you in a way that 233 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,639 maybe you didn't accept in the first part of your life. 234 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,039 And also with Saturn in the second and eighth I 235 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320 notice there's a lot of fear surrounding money and trying 236 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,360 really hard to hold tightly onto money and just being 237 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,679 fearful of spending money. So getting past that block can 238 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,600 be very important of like, Okay, I'm spending this money 239 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,200 on myself and or on my business or whatever it 240 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,559 might be. It just needs you need to like welcome 241 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,480 in this more like flowing aspect with finances rather than 242 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,960 try to hold on to it so tightly and fear 243 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000 that you'll never make enough money again. And if Saturn 244 00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:15,960 falls on an angle in your chart, like let's say 245 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,639 you have Saturn on the ascendant, Saturn on the mid heaven, 246 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,600 it may be that other people see you in a 247 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,799 very Saturnian way. So like with Saturn on the Ascendant, 248 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,720 it could influence your literal appearance, like maybe you like 249 00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,919 to dress in a more minimal way, or you just 250 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,840 come across as maybe on more no nonsense, like get 251 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,759 to the point type of person. It affects like what 252 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,799 the image you project out into the world, and it 253 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,279 can intensify Saturn in a bigger way, Like going back 254 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,919 to Saturn on the Ascendant, maybe there's just like a 255 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,600 lot of self criticism. You need to overcome fears of 256 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,120 putting yourself out there being seen by people. I would 257 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,440 say that would both be associated with Saturn on the 258 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,159 mid Heaven and Saturn on the Ascendant. Learning how to 259 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,320 take care of yourself better and prioritize your body and 260 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,279 your health would be a Saturn ascendant or just Saturn 261 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120 first house key theme. Saturn on the mid Heaven may 262 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,039 even bring in themes related to like the fourth House 263 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,159 and the family and the icy angle, like having a 264 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,360 sense of duty to family, or maybe a more strict 265 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,279 parent that has high expectations of you and what you 266 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:22,600 should be doing with your life, or maybe a lot 267 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,559 of your Saturn return is kind of learning how to 268 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:27,159 rise to the occasion and become more of a leader 269 00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:30,799 in your own right, whether that's in your career or 270 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,120 maybe taking on the new role of becoming a parent. 271 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720 I see that a lot with like a Saturn return 272 00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:39,600 in the tenth house, becoming a first time parent and 273 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,799 having this new status where you're suddenly in charge of 274 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,840 a human being where you weren't before. Okay, I didn't 275 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:49,840 mean to talk so much about Saturn return because we're 276 00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:52,639 saving that till the end. But one other thing I 277 00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,960 wanted to say about just Saturn and its house placement 278 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,919 in your birth chart is in addition to the literal 279 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,879 house that Saturn is in, you'll also want to check 280 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:07,000 what houses are ruled by Capricorn and Aquarius in your chart, 281 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,279 because even if you don't have Saturn in Capricorn or Aquarius, 282 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,679 Saturn still rules those houses and those houses in those 283 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080 areas of your life. You may also feel the influence 284 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360 of Saturn there. Like, for instance, let's say you have 285 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,080 Saturn in Pisces in your eleventh house, but you have 286 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,960 your mid heaven is in your ninth house and it's 287 00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,440 ruled by Capricorn, and then maybe your tenth house or not. 288 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,159 Maybe yes, your tenth house is ruled by Aquarius, so 289 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,799 you have your mid heaven and then your literal tenth 290 00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:38,759 house both ruled by Saturn as well. You could feel 291 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,399 all of those themes with Saturn placed in the tenth 292 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:46,519 house very literally too, in that career gets easier as 293 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:49,240 you get older, you take work super seriously or just 294 00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:53,080 striving for greater leadership positions at work are That's just 295 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,320 a relevant theme throughout the entirety of your life. You 296 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,960 also want to look at does Saturn aspect any natal 297 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,039 planets in your chart? And for this I mainly want 298 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:07,599 to focus on if it aspects inner planets like Saturn 299 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,640 conjunct the moon or Saturn square your venus or Saturn 300 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,400 opposite or conjuncture Sun. That would bring the influence of 301 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,880 Saturn and all those the key themes we went over 302 00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:23,720 at the start, like maybe delays or taking longer to 303 00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,799 have confidence in that area, know yourself in a bigger way, 304 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:31,200 or move past certain fears or anxieties. All of that 305 00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:35,359 influence of Saturn gets incorporated into that planet. So having 306 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,880 Saturn conjunct or square Venus in your birth chart, maybe 307 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,920 it feels kind of similar to having Saturn in the 308 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000 fifth or seventh house, where relationships may feel more difficult 309 00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:46,920 for you, or it's just a part of your life 310 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,200 that you take super seriously and you don't open up 311 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,319 and commit to just anyone, and maybe it does take 312 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,440 longer in your life to find like the right partner 313 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,720 that you're looking for, or with Saturn conjuncture Moon, maybe 314 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,000 it's just harder to open up emotionally or even get 315 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,119 in touch with your own emotions. But that ends up 316 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,319 being like a key strength of yours, like really learning 317 00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:15,200 about your inner self and then maybe learning how to 318 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:21,519 share what emotions mean with other people. And then let's 319 00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:25,480 say you have like Saturn opposite Mercury, Saturn square conjunct Mercury. 320 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,079 Maybe it was harder for you to communicate, or you 321 00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:31,839 were a bit shyer when you were younger, just harder 322 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,680 to speak and or write or learn there were some 323 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:40,680 challenges to overcome there, or gaining confidence and speaking up 324 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:44,680 about your opinions. But then maybe later on in life 325 00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:48,759 that's like a great placement to have for being really 326 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,759 thorough with writing and editing and anything that involves communication. 327 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,599 It just gives you that greater determination and focus. So 328 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,279 I guess the point I really want to hit home 329 00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:04,119 with Saturn is that it is a hindrance and an 330 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,640 annoyance earlier on in your life, and it can feel 331 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,599 like this huge obstacle, but as the years go on 332 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960 and you learn more about that part of yourself, it 333 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,720 can become your greatest strength that you have the most 334 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,000 wisdom on. So I mean, that's just like what I 335 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,039 love about Saturn. It's like this ongoing journey of constantly 336 00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:28,880 having these harder lessons associated with those parts of your 337 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,079 chart that are influenced by Saturn, but then knowing so 338 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,000 much more about that area because you had those constant 339 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,319 challenges or learning lessons pop up over time. Okay, let's 340 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,599 not pivot a bit and talk about Saturn in transit, 341 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,640 which I find to be fascinating. Like I said, transiting, 342 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,559 Saturn gets stuff done in a way that other planets 343 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,400 in transit don't. So first I want to go over 344 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,119 Saturn transiting houses in your chart, Because every twenty nine 345 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,920 years or so you get a Saturn return. It means 346 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,279 it takes about twenty nine to thirty years for Saturn 347 00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,279 to make its way through all twelve signs in all 348 00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:14,119 twelve houses of your chart, spitting about two and a 349 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,039 half years in a sign and a house, and as 350 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:20,599 I mentioned at the start, Saturn just moved into Aries 351 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,039 as of the middle of February, where it's going to 352 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:28,160 remain for the next two years still, so that Aries 353 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:31,640 ruled house of your chart. Keep those themes in mind 354 00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:36,559 as I go through what Saturn in transit signifies. So 355 00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:39,960 typically when Saturn first enters a new sign and house 356 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,039 of your chart, those house topics can suddenly start to 357 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,359 feel a lot more difficult than they have in the 358 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,119 lead up to this point, like maybe that was just 359 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,440 an easier area for you, or things were flowing more easily, 360 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,400 or there was greater growth going on, and Saturn comes 361 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,480 in and slows things down and makes you think more 362 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,240 deliberately about that part of your life. So the first 363 00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:07,119 year of a Saturn transit can feel the most challenging, 364 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,559 where it's almost like, wait, what am I meant to 365 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:14,680 do here now? Why does what once brought me joy 366 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,200 in this part of my life no longer resonate anymore? 367 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,480 Or why do I suddenly feel very stuck and frustrated 368 00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:25,200 and uncertain? That topic of uncertainty in the areas world 369 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,480 house of your chart is also coming in super strongly 370 00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:31,119 at the moment because of Neptune also being there, so 371 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,799 you could feel that influenced too, just confused or uncertain 372 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:39,480 about what comes next. And because Saturn yes moved into 373 00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,319 ares in that area's world house of your chart in 374 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119 mid February, we can't forget that it was first there 375 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,880 from the end of May of twenty twenty five until 376 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,000 September one, twenty twenty five. So you can also think 377 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:55,319 back to that time period last year of the same 378 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,680 area of your chart and how suddenly you wanted to 379 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,400 do things differently there and maybe we're seeking greater answers 380 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,640 to that part of your life, and now that Saturn 381 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,960 has returned there for good, this time you're building upon 382 00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:12,119 maybe whatever realizations came up six seven, eight months ago. 383 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,480 And with Saturn transiting a house of your chart, you 384 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,680 spend those two two and a half years mastering those 385 00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:24,599 house topics and really taking that area on, taking it 386 00:22:24,599 --> 00:22:28,799 a lot more seriously, finding greater structures in that part 387 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,920 of your life. Saturn also helps you to see the 388 00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:36,279 reality of certain situations that have been ongoing in that area. 389 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,519 So when Saturn enters the seventh House, maybe it makes 390 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:43,920 it a lot more clear what types of partnerships you're 391 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480 involved in, and that can be platonic and romantic. And 392 00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:50,039 maybe if you haven't felt happy in a certain friendship 393 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,079 or business partnership or romantic relationship, and the lead up 394 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,519 to Saturn moving into the seventh this can be a 395 00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:01,799 point where you decide, Okay, I actually no longer want 396 00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:03,960 this person in my life. This is not who I 397 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,359 want to commit to. Like that topic of who and 398 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,599 what deserves my time and energy, Who do I want 399 00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:13,079 to commit to in the long term, what brings me 400 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,759 fulfillment in the long term. That's a huge theme with 401 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,880 Saturn transiting a house. So in addition to the seventh house, 402 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960 like Saturn transiting the eighth house, the third house, the 403 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,880 eleventh house, those are also other houses I would associate 404 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,920 with taking stock of relationships in your life, like who 405 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,839 do I want to share my life more with? What 406 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,960 friendships feel most fulfilling, Who do I want to commit 407 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,240 more to, Who do I want to put some distance? 408 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:43,119 Like what relationships do I want some distance on? And 409 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,960 then I would say Saturn through the second six or 410 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,759 tenth houses, or Saturn moving over the mid heaven line. 411 00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,079 That'll bring up the topic of career and like what 412 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,599 type of work feels the most fulfilling? How can I 413 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,400 restructure what I'm doing in my career so that if 414 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:01,759 is it more in line with my interests? And I 415 00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:03,960 brought this up in a past podcast episode, But like 416 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Scorpio pisces and cancer risings, I'm repeatedly noticing they're like 417 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,640 the most confused or uncertain about what's going on with 418 00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:15,359 career at the moment. I mean, that's not going to 419 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,880 apply to every single person that has that rising sign, 420 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,359 Like some of you may feel better about what's going 421 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,160 on with work, but for the most part, those rising 422 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,880 signs because Saturn has now entered a more career focused 423 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,119 part of the chart, you're learning how to have a 424 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,000 different relationship with what you do for work, or maybe 425 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,599 different career goals are coming up that you want to 426 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,079 commit to in the long term, and that might be 427 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,640 completely different than what you've been doing up until now. 428 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,640 And it could be this process of feeling very frustrated 429 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,240 at first, like why is it so hard for me 430 00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:47,119 to change jobs? But as you get closer to the 431 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:51,079 end of that Saturn transit, I just see by like 432 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,039 the second half of twenty twenty seven more moving into 433 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:58,480 twenty twenty eight as this transit wraps up, having new 434 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,759 structures laid down with what you want to be doing 435 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,920 with career moving forward. Another theme that comes up with 436 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,519 transit Saturn is this theme of no more procrastinating in 437 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:12,200 that part of your life. Saturn brings up this concept 438 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,759 of time and since that time is running out, I 439 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,279 need to go for something, I need to do something 440 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,319 different here. It brings a sense of urgency, but at 441 00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:25,559 the same time, Saturn slows things down, which is where 442 00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:28,440 frustration comes in, because you want to do something different, 443 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,920 but then it's like there's you can't you can't get 444 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,200 some more quickly. Like Saturn doesn't allow you to make shortcuts, 445 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,200 and you just have to be very deliberate with the 446 00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:41,240 decisions you're making in that part of your life and 447 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:44,640 put in a lot more hard work and effort there 448 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:48,039 for about two and a half years to get the 449 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:50,160 results that you want. And like I just said, like 450 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,880 those results are more likely to really kick in at 451 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,359 the tail end of Saturn moving through a house in 452 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,400 your chart. One other thing I wanted to say about 453 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,240 transitting Saturn in a specific house is that anything that 454 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,799 is not meant to be in your life and the 455 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:07,920 long term will fall away. So talked about that in 456 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,640 the context of relationships, maybe it's people naturally just leaving 457 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,200 your life, or if it's in the context of career, 458 00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:19,039 sometimes it can be being let go of a job 459 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,920 that just isn't meant for you anymore. And then I'm 460 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,039 trying to think of another area. I would say, like 461 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:26,359 Saturn in the six or twelve house, could be a 462 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,960 lot of eliminating habits that just aren't working in your 463 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,519 best interest anymore, like working on improving your diet or 464 00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:38,799 drinking habits or drug use like those things. Anything that 465 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,960 just isn't serving you is a hindrance to your everyday 466 00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:47,960 success has to go with a Saturn transit. And in 467 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,920 addition to Saturn transit in a specific house in your chart, 468 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,400 sometimes you'll have natal planets in that house and sign 469 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,079 in which Saturn falls. Like if you have Aris planets, 470 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,640 Saturn's going to cross over those planets in your chart 471 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,759 between now and twenty twenty eight at some point, or 472 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,319 if you have other cardinal sign placements cancer, Cavicorn, Libra, 473 00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:13,400 Saturn will while it's in arees, it'll either oppose or 474 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,960 square those natal placements in your chart, and you'll really 475 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,839 want to pay attention to the exact year in which 476 00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:25,480 Saturn covers that exact degree of a natal placement. It'll 477 00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:29,440 spend about a year moving back and forth in aspect 478 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,480 to that natal placement because of its retrogrades. So Saturn 479 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:38,440 will often move across a natal placement one time, like 480 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,480 the initial time in the year, and that time can 481 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:45,079 feel very unsettling, like why is this planet suddenly a 482 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,359 greater focus? Why does it feel so hard at the moment? 483 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,160 And then Saturn will at a certain point in the 484 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,359 year retrograde back and either get very close to that 485 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,440 natal placement again or move back across it, and that 486 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,640 can be a time of really learning how to integrate 487 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,079 that planet and what it means into your life in 488 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,559 a bigger way. And then Saturn will make one last 489 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:11,200 cross over that natal placement as it's direct again, and 490 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,680 by that point usually there's more movement and you have 491 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,359 a better handle on what that planet represents and what 492 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,880 it's asking of you. And you'll also want to check 493 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,880 what natal houses in the chart does that planet rule, 494 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,079 So if you have Saturn moving over your Moon, You'll 495 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,319 also want to check, Okay, what house in my chart 496 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,480 is ruled by cancer because that house is likely going 497 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:35,559 to see the Saturn influence too, Or if you have 498 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,279 Venus and Ares and Saturn's moving over your venus in 499 00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:41,079 the next few months, you can also look at, okay, 500 00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:43,839 what houses are ruled by Taurus and Libra because that 501 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,559 might feel the heavy influence of Saturn as well. I 502 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,640 personally find Saturn aspecting the Moon to be the hardest 503 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,559 transit in astrology. I don't want to scare anyone that 504 00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:58,240 has that coming up, but just to validate people that 505 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,880 have had that transit. It is so tough on mental 506 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,920 health and it can feel I don't know how I 507 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,279 felt with Saturn to the Moon. I had that in 508 00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:13,000 twenty twenty four, just very stressed out and mental health 509 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,720 was not in a good place. And you can also 510 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,440 feel kind of like isolated from people and like there's 511 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,359 there's something strained that's going on with the topics of 512 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,240 what that planet represents. Also, when I had Saturn crossover 513 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:28,279 the Moon, there were a lot of delays with moving 514 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:32,359 homes and being uncertain about my living situation for several months, 515 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,440 and that part of my life just was contributing to 516 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160 the mental health stuff because the moon is so much 517 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:45,119 about living situation and emotions and your literal home. Saturn 518 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,559 transiting the Sun and moon, these are both key transits 519 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:53,759 for health too. I personally found Saturn crossing over my 520 00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:57,200 moon to be more about mental health, while Saturn crossing 521 00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,519 over my son had a lot more to do with 522 00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:02,799 physical health and really needing to take care of my body. 523 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,599 But again it comes back to like my individual chart 524 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,119 in that instance, like the Sun is my chart ruler, 525 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:10,960 so it rules the first house of my chart, which 526 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,680 does have a lot to do with like your vitality, 527 00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:17,279 your physical self. So that might be why with Saturn 528 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:19,519 to the Sun it came out as more of a 529 00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:23,519 physical health type thing that felt more difficult, whereas the 530 00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:26,279 Moon rules my twelfth house. So it actually makes a 531 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,039 lot of sense that mental health was a huge focus then. 532 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,000 But even like if those planets rull other houses in 533 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,400 your chart, I would always keep that key theme of 534 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,599 health in mind with when Saturn aspects the Sun or Moon. 535 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,319 You may just feel lower energy in general, or there's 536 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,039 something that needs to be addressed health wise, and that 537 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,519 can feel very frustrating, like going back to the theme 538 00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:50,119 of like how Saturn just feels frustrating at first, but 539 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,440 then you're learning greater lessons there and just learning how 540 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,279 to take things slower in that part of your life, 541 00:30:57,359 --> 00:31:03,079 and like lay back structures for the future. Like if 542 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:06,319 I hadn't had those mental health issues in twenty twenty 543 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,400 four when Saturn was across my moon, or in twenty 544 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,039 twenty one when Saturn was moving across my son, I 545 00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:16,000 wouldn't have changed how I eat in a healthier way, 546 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,359 or I wouldn't have gone back to therapy and like 547 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,640 address certain emotions. So it all serves a purpose, even 548 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,920 if it just feels like you're totally stuck. And I 549 00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:30,599 like in a Saturn transit to Groundhog Day, because when 550 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,640 Saturn's hitting upon an exact angle, an exact planet in 551 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,640 your chart, the weeks that it's hovering right at that 552 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:39,680 degree of a natal placement, it can feel like you 553 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,200 wake up and every single day feels the same and 554 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,319 you feel so stuck and it feels like there's no 555 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,480 light at the end of the tunnel. But it does 556 00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:51,880 lift eventually. And then to throw in Saturn aspecting a 557 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,160 few of these other planets Saturn to Venus, I just 558 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,559 had just came out of having this one last year. 559 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,000 Finances can feel tighter like off and there's just more 560 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:05,359 spending that goes on, and maybe there's no like improvements 561 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:09,000 with money, but you're like your income's on improving, but 562 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:13,000 your expenses are going up, which makes it just your finances. 563 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,519 You have to be more mindful of them and have 564 00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,759 better financial structures, because that's a big Venus theme. I 565 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:21,480 would also say another big one I noticed is and 566 00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:24,200 I noticed this a lot in people I give readings too. 567 00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:27,720 When Saturn conjunct squares are opposes Venus, there can be 568 00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:30,640 tension that's brought up in friendships and often a scaling 569 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:34,799 back on who you want to associate with and getting 570 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960 more selective about what friendships you want in your life. 571 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,359 And then with Saturn conjunct Mercury, this was great for 572 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:47,480 writing in my opinion, although it felt the act of 573 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:52,200 writing and putting out content, which is very Mercury themed, 574 00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:56,359 felt very tedious. Like I remember I had my first podcast. 575 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,440 I started that first podcast when Saturn was conjunct Mercury, 576 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,240 and it felt like it was hard to be casual 577 00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:06,079 with that podcast. It felt like all the information I 578 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,480 shared had to be so drawn out and so teacherly, 579 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,880 and it was just harder to put out like quick light, 580 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,640 casual types of conversations, I guess, but also things like come, 581 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:24,799 I think I wrote my whole book proposal when Saturn 582 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200 was conjunct to by Mercury, Like it just required a 583 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,880 lot more mental focus, And before that time I had 584 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,759 never like sat down and fully committed to a longer 585 00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:36,640 piece of writing. So that felt tedious in the moment, 586 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,839 and it was like, Okay, we cannot cut corners here, 587 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,759 like you have an actual deadline, you want to get 588 00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:44,960 this done. So I would say Saturn to Mercury brings 589 00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:51,119 up themes involving definitely writing communication based projects, having to 590 00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,640 really explain yourself more fully in that way. As I 591 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,920 talked about with Seth on the last podcast episode, he 592 00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:03,200 mentioned mercury is associated with the nervous system, so it 593 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,759 could be that Saturn aspecting Mercury maybe does make you 594 00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:10,119 look at health things involving your nervous system at that time. 595 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,480 And then just because I've talked about all the other 596 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,360 inner planets, I can't leave this one out. Saturn to Mars, 597 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,719 I would associate this one with health too. Like decreased 598 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,960 energy maybe or needing to be more selective about where 599 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,400 you are putting your energy. I would also say maybe 600 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,039 a need to address anger issues or having greater feelings 601 00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:33,760 of frustration come up, especially regarding the topics of the 602 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,559 Mars ruled houses in your chart. Like, for instance, Mars 603 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:39,760 rules my fourth house, but it's placed in my twelfth. 604 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,119 Every single time Saturn aspects that Mars in my chart 605 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,920 I have, I've had issues with roommates, I've had family 606 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,199 issues like that. Stuff just becomes more strenuous. So again, 607 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,519 always important to look at what other houses do these 608 00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:59,440 planets rule that are being affected by a transit like Saturn. 609 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:04,559 Those houses will very much become relevant for that year 610 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:08,559 long period. Okay, and then last area I wanted to 611 00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:11,920 cover with Saturn is just the various cycles that Saturn makes. 612 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,599 So we've gone over Saturn returns quite a bit in 613 00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:19,559 these examples, but I wanted to go over Saturn return 614 00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:24,559 Saturn squares, and Saturn oppositions. These happen in seven year 615 00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:28,320 increments throughout the entirety of your life. So these phases 616 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,719 of Saturn occur when transit Saturn makes a hard aspect, 617 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,639 So a conjunction a square or an opposition to natal 618 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,760 Saturn in your chart. So let's say you have your 619 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,639 natal Saturn in Pisces. You can know that when Saturn 620 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,480 is in Pisces again, you're getting a Saturn return. When 621 00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,719 Saturn's in Gemini, it will square the natal Saturn and Pisces, 622 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,920 so you'll get a Saturn square. When Saturn moves to Virgo, 623 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,760 you'll get a Saturn opposition, and when Saturn is in Sagittarius, 624 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,599 you'll get another square in the lead up to that 625 00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:04,559 next Saturn return as it gets back to Pisces again. 626 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,400 So I wanted to give the age ranges when this happened, 627 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,239 so Saturn return. If you're lucky to live to old age, 628 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,519 most of us will get three of the Saturn returns 629 00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:20,199 in our lifetime. The first one happens at age twenty nine, 630 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,719 then you get a second one around the age of 631 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,519 fifty eight, and then the next one is around your 632 00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:29,559 mid to late eighties. It was so funny because when 633 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:33,000 Saturn was an Aquarius, I realized that me, my stepmom, 634 00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,920 and my grandfather all have Saturn and Aquarius. So we 635 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,519 all went through our Saturn returns at the same time. 636 00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:43,719 Which was it was cool to trade notes. It's like, Okay, 637 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,519 what's happening at your second Saturn return, what's happening at 638 00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:50,039 your third Saturn return? But at these Saturn returns, which 639 00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:53,880 happened roughly every thirty years twenty nine to be more exact, 640 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,639 it's a bigger time of really looking at where your 641 00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:03,320 commitments lie. What do you want to be putting energy 642 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,760 towards for the next several decades of your life. And 643 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,320 so at that first Saturn return at age twenty nine, 644 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,840 you often establish certain interests, new goals, new opportunities get 645 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,519 formed that then you spend the next couple of decades 646 00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:23,000 building upon. Like it's often a time of making a 647 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:27,280 name for yourself in a certain area that then you 648 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,679 continue to develop over the coming years. Other themes that 649 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,519 come up at a Saturn return. And also I want 650 00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:37,280 to bring in the Saturn square in opposition because you'll 651 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,400 feel these themes surface again in seven year increments. So 652 00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:46,119 looking at the Saturn square. The ages for this are seven, 653 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,639 twenty one, thirty six, slash, thirty seven, fifty and sixty seven. 654 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,119 And then a Saturn opposition will occur at age fourteen 655 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:02,679 forty three and about seven seventy three years old. So 656 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,119 not only of the Saturn return, but at these other 657 00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:09,119 key ages you will feel similar themes to maybe what 658 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,880 was going on at your Saturn return. And these are 659 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,719 often years where you are being called to put more 660 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,159 effort into something and you can be working diligently away 661 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,280 at a project, an opportunity of relationship, whatever it may 662 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,199 be that has this long term payoff. It may feel 663 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,079 very slow at the moment, like why is what I 664 00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:32,599 want to have happened not happening right now? Why does 665 00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:36,400 everything feel slowed down? But again, like to bring up 666 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,679 a theme I've kept reiterating throughout this episode, no shortcuts 667 00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:42,840 can be taken with Saturn. So it's it's all about 668 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,800 hard work and being patient and knowing that the foundations 669 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,639 you're laying at these specific ages are helping you to 670 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:55,000 pivot in a different direction that ultimately feels more fulfilling 671 00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:57,239 and in line with who you're becoming as a person 672 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,599 for the years that follow. And looking at the houses 673 00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:03,199 where the return the Saturn return is happening, looking at 674 00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:05,159 that house or the houses that are involved in a 675 00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:08,639 Saturn square or in opposition, how might there be a 676 00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:12,280 greater restructuring happening in those areas, or how might you 677 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,320 need to put a lot more effort in those particular 678 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,840 areas of your life to see what you want to 679 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,920 have happen. And it can also be a time of 680 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,880 like refining skills in that part of your life, just 681 00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:25,760 overall getting more clear on what is worth committing to 682 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,239 and where you want to direct your energy. Themes that 683 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,920 we've already been over with transit Saturn, but they almost 684 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,480 get intensified at the Saturn return, where it becomes this 685 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,519 bigger period of needing to change certain elements of your 686 00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:43,199 life so that you are on like a greater path 687 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,000 of like, Okay, this is what I want to be doing. 688 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,559 I hate that there's so much fear surrounding the Saturn 689 00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:51,079 return because I found it a really fulfilling point in 690 00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:53,719 my life. Like I found it the stuff I had 691 00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:56,360 wanted to happen in my career. I was finally getting 692 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,320 those opportunities at the Saturn return. And yes it required 693 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,519 a lot more war, but I gained such valuable skills 694 00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:05,239 and my Saturn return that have carried into these years 695 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,639 that have followed now that I'm about four years out 696 00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,280 from it. So curious to see what comes up at 697 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,639 the Saturn square that I'll get in the next three years, 698 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,320 because it could feel very similar of Okay, a need 699 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,400 to make an adjustment here to whatever I've been doing 700 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,800 since the Saturn return. I would just think of these 701 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,280 Saturn periods that happen every seven years as these necessary 702 00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:30,119 readjustment times, like, Okay, we've been living my life in 703 00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:34,440 a certain way up until this point. Now certain elements 704 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,360 aren't working anymore. Let's take stock of my commitments again. 705 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,079 Another huge theme with Saturn is I mentioned this earlier, 706 00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:46,599 but definitely gets brought up a lot more at the 707 00:40:46,679 --> 00:40:49,880 return and the square and the opposition is the passing 708 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:55,760 of time and mortality and understanding that you are getting 709 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,320 older and that your parents might be getting older, and 710 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:04,239 that time is not unlimited, and that you need to 711 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,199 make these changes or you need to put effort into 712 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,039 something now to get where you want to be and 713 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:13,679 not put things off so much anymore. But as I said, 714 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,559 it's like, on the one hand, you're aware of the 715 00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:18,840 passing of time and you want to do something about 716 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,639 it and make changes, but also on the other hand, 717 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,599 those changes are slower to go into effect, which is 718 00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:30,360 just why patience is so key with this planet and 719 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,800 also with something like a Saturn return. Not only do 720 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,480 you want to look at where is where is that 721 00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:40,599 exact house that the return is occurring in, but also 722 00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:44,800 what other houses are ruled by Capricorn and Aquarius in 723 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,639 your chart, because those two houses will become very relevant 724 00:41:48,679 --> 00:41:51,559 at the time of a Saturn return too, and even 725 00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:54,159 at the time of a Saturn square in opposition, like 726 00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:57,679 because you're it's it's a transiting planet Saturn making an 727 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,599 aspect to your natal Saturn. So when a natal planet 728 00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:04,519 is activated by a transit, you're always taking into account 729 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,000 what other houses does it rule. Yeah, I brought that 730 00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:09,719 up a lot of times in this episode. It's just 731 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,719 so important, like ruling planets of the houses, you cannot 732 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,920 forget it when it comes to interpreting transits to your chart. 733 00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:19,960 But yeah, that is all I had on Saturn for today. 734 00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:22,800 Thank you again for listening and reminder you can always 735 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,599 go back to those past episodes Saturn Transit Stories Part 736 00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:28,239 one and Part two if you want more examples on 737 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,880 what it's been like for other people having Saturn transit 738 00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:35,519 through specific houses of their chart. And I'll see you guys. 739 00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:40,039 Back here next week for already the airy season forecast. 740 00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:42,320 So I'm so excited.
