We all will have times in life that are more difficult than others, and so many people who call me are facing difficult questions and choices. More often than not, they are dealing with a Saturn transit.
Saturn will affect us all,
throughout life. The positive Saturn transits bring stability, success and
achievement, as Saturn creates our structure in life.
The 'hard' Saturn transits often
bring challenges, disappointments, delays, endings, and in rare cases
even sickness and death of those closest to us.
Every two and a half years Saturn
changes signs, and moves through a different house in our personal chart. By
knowing this we can see where our gains and challenges are going to be over the
next several years.
Of course there are other planets
that are creating aspects and making transits at the same time, but Saturn
transits can be some of the most difficult.
Positive aspects to Saturn build up
stability for the future when the harsher transits come, which will occur
periodically throughout life. The key is in understanding and learning to deal
with them so the worst possible scenario does not play out. There will never be
a time Saturn is not active in our charts, good or bad.
Saturn has been called the 'God of
Time', the 'taskmaster, the 'Lord of Hell,' to name a few.
Saturn takes thirty years to travel
through each house in the natal chart and through each sign in the zodiac. By
the time it has moved through each house of your chart you have fully
experienced what Saturn will do over each two and a half year cycle.
When Saturn returns to its own natal
placement in your personal chart this is called a 'Saturn return.' This
transit occurs at age 28-29, 59, and again in the late 80's. A Saturn return
always coincides with change, and moving on toward the next phase of life. It
typically brings or ushers in important changes.
Generally, when you approach your
late forties or fifties you have seen Saturn through each or most houses in
your personal chart. At this time, as Saturn moves through each sign again, you
have a clear idea what to expect based on past history. Of course, it is never
exactly the same as many parts of your chart are always changing, you mature
and circumstances change.
If you are experiencing a difficult
Saturn transit the thing to remember is that all transits are temporary. While
you may experience frustration or disappointment there may be some more
positive energy in another part of your chart. An experienced astrologer can
tell you exactly how long this period will last and what you can expect.
Harsh Saturn transits bring growth
and in some cases we change direction in many different areas or ways. In my
experience while we may not have anticipated a change of direction, in the long
run it may be the best possible alternative. With growth comes wisdom and
stability and knowledge.
When Saturn aspects any planet in
your personal chart, another aspect from Saturn to the same planet will
re-occur in 7 years. It is important to learn the lessons of Saturn as to not
have to repeat them in the future.
