Transiting Saturn Aspects

Saturn Conjunct:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Ascendant.

Saturn Conjunction Sun
A certain seriousness pervades your sense of direction; with your loves a bit more calculated, you put a more consistent effort into things that might have been ignored earlier. Physical weariness also comes easier as energy is drained by harder efforts. The pace is deliberate, intense, willful, and strong.

Saturn Conjunction Moon
A serious sense of emotional oppression or depression may set in for a while, partially due to circumstances beyond your control, but partly for inner reasons. Stand back and view it from afar and you may find you're taking things seriously that you might have laughed off months earlier. Laugh them off.

Saturn Conjunction Mercury
Mental processes are slow and heavy, but intense and precise. What gets done really gets done thoroughly without a stitch missed, at least in the design stage. You could probably lighten up your phrasing a bit so you don't seem like such a heavy, but don't lighten the intent behind it -- persevere.

Saturn Conjunction Venus
Money resources suddenly dry up or are unexpectedly drained. It's going to be hard to get what you want for a while, so be prepared to just sit it out patiently. Your needs and desires will abide and can be amply tended to later, though some hopeful opportunities will probably have to be passed up.

Saturn Conjunction Mars
Great physical effort is required to get things done, but the energy is significantly harder to come by. It's best to just take the time off when possible -- if not, then pace your activities with great regularity and care, and package and dispense your energies precisely to get use out of every ounce.

Saturn Conjunction Jupiter
Most of life's major projects are slowed, brought to a halt, or at least seriously cut down to size. Trimming your wings does not mean clipping them, however, and now's the time to get rid of the fat and featherbedding that was wasteful to begin with. Narrow your focus and home in on specific goals.

Saturn Conjunction Saturn
This Saturn return, which happens once every 29 and a half years, marks a major point of personal maturation and integration into the matrix of society at large. To the degree that you're already in the social mainstream, you'll feel reinforced. To the degree you're apart from it, you'll feel increasing distance.

Saturn Conjunction Uranus
You are likely to find that the directions that tend to lead you to the out of the ordinary are somewhat suppressed and you may find yourself being a bit more establishment than you had intended. However, in scientific endeavors this is just the time to distill important ideas.

Saturn Conjunction Neptune
A serious cutting back on your intuitive powers may be expected, and with it much of the romance of life finds itself on the wane. Practicalities will be more important; fantasies, however beautiful, will be forced to take a back seat. At the same time, fantasies that can come true may be realized.

Saturn Conjunction Pluto
This is likely to be a time of considerable deep introspection and even depression, during which you meditate upon the meanings of death and the limitations put upon us by worldly existence. Rather than bemoaning your hard case, take it as a time to confront and better understand these total issues.

Saturn Conjunction Ascendant
Expect a real time of testing when you feel like you're under the gun 24 hours a day. Shake off all dead weight and travel light with only what you absolutely need to get the job done. Give yourself extra time for everything, as unscheduled stoppages will be the order of the day.

Saturn Conjunction Midheaven
This is a very hard time to sustain your reputation and a good time to make sure you are flying only the truest colors -- nothing anyone can find fault with. It will be harder to recruit business at this time, but what you do achieve will be long remembered for its validity, so do it especially well.

Saturn Sextile:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Ascendant.

Saturn Sextile Sun
An inner steady pace is supported, but no particular effort is required to maintain it from within. Business as usual remains that way with humps clearing out of the way in rhythm. Support to others is easily lent without draining inner resources. For the moment, at least, it's a steady inner flow.

Saturn Sextile Moon
An emotionally even period spins along for a while, in which you can absorb disturbances with relative aplomb by leaning on past experience. You avoid over-reaction but should also make it a point to avoid seeming too casually distant as well. Just rolling along life's path and coping without much problem!

Saturn Sextile Mercury
This is a good time for careful, precise thinking and judgments, though not necessarily earthshaking decisions. Tag on to what you've decided is correct and pursue it clearly; your abilities to express it will see you through. Logic will seem self-evident and you won't have to go over things twice.

Saturn Sextile Venus
It's relatively easy to get what you want for a while, as long as you're not over demanding (which you're not likely to be). What you need tends to come, and what doesn't probably can be done without anyway. In any case, patience and perseverance are the solution and, for once, they are not too hard to get.

Saturn Sextile Mars
An even flow of physical energy allows you to be up to doing whatever you want without too much stress and strain over it, but with an emphasis on a deliberate, relaxed pace which does not use up excess energy in bursts. Long-range projects are well-implemented now, as you have patience to spare on them.

Saturn Sextile Jupiter
You find you have generally good, even support for your major efforts in life and can get backing from relatively conservative sources that trust your homing instincts. Imagination tempered with responsibility is what is rewarded and forward progress is measured in strides, not leaps and bounds.

Saturn Sextile Saturn
A generalized trend of stabilization of a mild sort may be expected, marked by heightened social sensitivity and recognition of the needs of those around you -- how to tend to them and how to garner their support. Nothing dramatic, just a feeling that you intuitively know how to fit in better.

Saturn Sextile Uranus
At the moment you've got a good feeling about just how far out you can go to please yourself but not overly offend others more conservative than you are -- wild but chic, so to speak. Enjoy it while it lasts until your more individual urges get the better of you and you just have to let it all hang out.

Saturn Sextile Neptune
You may find that your fantasy life is seeing some external support, making this a good time to go gently out and try to make some dreams come true. Just sort of slip them into reality, don't push, and you may find they grow with a life of their own. Be willing to trim them to fit reality a bit and they'll blossom.

Saturn Sextile Pluto
This is a pretty good time for getting what you want by simply asserting yourself in a dominant fashion over others. You will have a certain forcefulness that will be hard to say no to, as long as you play it as a soft sell. It's the iron hand in the velvet glove that succeeds best during these times.

Saturn Sextile Midheaven
You can expect a gradual increasing support for your reputation, personal and professional, though it may not be highly vocal. Nonetheless, it will give you the opportunity to make new directions come to fruition because of a general support of previous efforts. Slow but positive change is the key.

Saturn Sextile Ascendant
You are working under a certain amount of free protection that will tend to stabilize your aim and make you a bit surer of your mark, if you are willing to relax and let it happen. Let external forces be your cue as to when to make your move and you will slip right in where you want yourself to be.

Saturn Square:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Ascendant.

Saturn Square Sun
Events which require marshalling extra inner energy and resources tend to go awry and use up psychic fuel without bearing much fruit. It's easy to chase your tail and just get mired in deeper, so you're better off keeping to yourself and letting things be for a while, despite temptation to jump in.

Saturn Square Moon
It's easy to get upset right now because you think that you haven't performed up to snuff or have been failed or disappointed by another. Reserve judgment for the moment, as circumstances more than people are likely to blame -- if there is blame at all. Chalk it off to experience and cheer up.

Saturn Square Mercury
Fouls and snags in your thought processes make for slow gains and necessitate multiple reworkings or even abandonment of what seemed like a good idea at first. Either hone plans down to a repeatedly sharpened edge or just let them go and worry about it later when the situation gets a little less muddy.

Saturn Square Venus
It seems everything you want to get your hands on vanishes on contact or turns out to be something you really didn't want or need in the first place. Times like this make you believe less might really be more. Conserve your money and energy or acquire things you can give away later for credit.

Saturn Square Mars
Life is a struggle, and sometimes it seems pointless to lift a finger as each effort seems to be wasted or has to be done over a different way. Amendments is the name of the game, unless you can afford to wait and sit things out for a while until energies are back up to par and wastage comes less easily.

Saturn Square Jupiter
Snags, snafus, and stones in your pathway are to be expected, brought on by resistance from those who do not share your future vision or plans. There is little point in fighting it -- just rechart your course to circumvent obstacles, as direct confrontation will drag you down further.

Saturn Square Saturn
You are undergoing something of a socialization crisis that occurs about once every 15 years, during which you must re-evaluate where you are being asked to fit in among those around you and decide if you're going to be a joiner, go it alone, or make some sort of compromise in your living style.

Saturn Square Uranus
At this time you are going to have a very hard time integrating your instinctive individual traits with society as a whole. Expect a good deal of flak and be ready to compromise when really necessary, while hanging on to your real self through it all.

Saturn Square Neptune
Expect a time when the real world is a constant, grinding conflict with the directions you feel you ought to go. Fantasies shot down by unexpected interferences are the order of the day and there is not much profit in fighting it head on. Best to avoid conflict and retreat to an inner world until later.

Saturn Square Pluto
Look out for all kinds of pointless, though potentially damaging, power plays around you. Avoid them where at all possible; they will drain you of inner energy and will come to nothing in the end. Just keep your eyes open and remember who did what so you'll have their number later.

Saturn Square Midheaven
You had best keep an eye out for misleading or even suspicious remarks about yourself or your efforts, and be in a position to refute them. In general, your reputation is under attack for reasons that may be intentional and malicious or may be simply accidental and mistaken -- just make sure you're correct.

Saturn Square Ascendant
Expect to have to struggle more than usual to get things done, as energy draining pitfalls consistently come your way for no particular purpose than to slow you down and undercut your efforts. Your best bet is to beat a retreat wherever possible and wait till the thing is over -- less wasted energy that way.

Saturn Trine:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Ascendant.

Saturn Trine Sun
Strong inner support and strength allows you to be a firm shoulder for anyone to lean on, including yourself! Self-confidence is bred of sure inner knowledge, not guesswork, so you can go ahead being sure you're right, with external support even from more conservative quarters.

Saturn Trine Moon
Solid emotional support makes your reaction strong and firm, and reliable to your friends. You can usually count on your first decisions, made perhaps a bit slower than at other times, but with greater confidence and surety. A fine time for passing out advice and being a fountain of adages and folk wisdom!

Saturn Trine Mercury
Clear, abundant logic is a steady force for you and will help you clarify others' situations as well as your own. Consistent output of ideas makes for reliable building-block analysis and good long-range planning. Opinions border on the sensible (but practical and workable) side of the conservative.

Saturn Trine Venus
Now is the time for making long-term financial and emotional investments, as you are more than likely to get as much or even more than you bargained for. Take the opportunity to secure as much as you can so that you will have something spare when opportunities are rare. Hedge your bets!

Saturn Trine Mars
Strong, well-paced energy that doesn't run out is the order of the day -- definitely the time for your long-distance running-type projects, as your stamina will be at its max. The key is in the regularity of pacing and timing, which seems much easier to achieve now than earlier (or, perhaps, later). Do it now....

Saturn Trine Jupiter
Strong support from solid quarters may be found for your most ambitious enterprises as they will be seen as (perhaps) less risky than they really are. The support, of course, will go a long way toward eliminating the risks, so all is well. Take everything offered and save what's left over for the future.

Saturn Trine Saturn
You are going through a period where you can very easily and solidly tune in to what society at large is doing and adapt your behavior successfully without having to make unreasonable compromises with yourself. It is a time when you should do everything possible to establish yourself for the future.

Saturn Trine Uranus
You are in an excellent position to ingratiate yourself with more conservative colleagues who will be more likely to help you out with your farther-out schemes, which might have been rejected under other circumstances. Get a leg in the door quick, then make your plans look more stable than they are!

Saturn Trine Neptune
This is an excellent time to bring the dreams and plans you have been holding back on -- thinking them too unrealistic -- to concrete reality. You've got solid support out in the real world and should reach out for it to help you make a dream a reality. Find someone with feet on the ground and make your proposition.

Saturn Trine Pluto
Look for things to come out as planned through sheer force of faith -- both in yourself and in the current state of the universe around you. If you have faith, the Force will be with you, so you can lean back and just let it all roll along slowly, pretty much coming up the way you would like.

Saturn Trine Midheaven
Large background support for your reputation will allow you to find additional support and investment in new ventures based on your previous track record. Now is the time to go ahead with it, but stay on the conservative side and display the responsibility you have already been given credit for.

Saturn Trine Ascendant
Strong forces supporting you may be taken advantage of, particularly on the physical side where extra strength and endurance may be needed. Vigorous but even pacing can bring you strides ahead of competitors, if you take advantage of it while it's here. Time for continuing, not new, direction.

Saturn Opposite:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Ascendant.

Saturn Opposition Sun
Ground is gained by meeting resistance strongly, then breaking through. Opposition to your will comes sporadically, but seriously, so it may be a chore at times to get your way until you really assert yourself, then resistance will evaporate. Once successful, give yourself rest before another attempt.

Saturn Opposition Moon
Sudden sadness comes and goes but it catches you a little off guard and makes you wonder about your stability. Just push through and it vanishes like a brief thunderstorm followed by clearing and sunshine. Keep a weather eye out for a while as it's still storm season -- keep emotional umbrellas handy.

Saturn Opposition Mercury
Sudden onset of thinking block is relieved by: a) constant re-evaluation of situation until resolution or b) waiting until it goes away. Favor short-term projects that can be accomplished during periods of lucidity. Long-range processes tend to run into periodic roadblocks, thereby slowing progress.

Saturn Opposition Venus
Rare opportunities alternating with desert conditions are the order of the day, so seize what you can but be ready for it to dry up on a moment's notice. Do not mourn losses, for they are as quickly gained again in some other area. You'll probably break even, but end up in a very altered state.

Saturn Opposition Mars
Energies are quite erratic now, first running very strong, then totally tapped out for a time. Keep to short projects you won't have to abandon if you poop out. Watch out for infections like colds and the flu that can be brought on by sudden depletion of your energy stores. Get lots of rest -- eat well!

Saturn Opposition Jupiter
Expect periodic and surprising upheavals in major areas of development, brought on by unexpected resistance from more conservative quarters. Back off and rework, don't just crash -- or major efforts may be drained or sabotaged in the process. A tricky time to maneuver yourself out into the clear again.

Saturn Opposition Saturn
You are at what most consider a "life crisis" point and you are likely to feel the most alienated from society you have felt for almost 30 years. It is a time to reflect upon the meaning of individuality and your role in society as a whole.

Saturn Opposition Uranus
You are in an in-out, love/hate relationship with the more conservative sides of life. As soon as a bright idea looks acceptable, it gets cut down again. Best to make your plays short and sweet so you can get out before things start to turn around again. For success, mobility will be everything.

Saturn Opposition Neptune
Be careful of deceit and general dissembling among those who say they support your higher intentions. Sudden turns may be expected, and you had best be ready to back off when it happens and go for short-term involvements which you can clear out of in the event of a sudden shift of loyalties.

Saturn Opposition Pluto
Expect occasional off and on power plays to come into your life, but not a steady invasion. An occasional assault followed by a quick retreat if you put up a strong front. This is sort of a time of probing for weaknesses and strengths, from which you can benefit as much as others -- learning from your adversaries.

Saturn Opposition Ascendant
Expect efforts from close friends and partners to slow you down, bring operations to a halt. Keep an open ear to them, but be ready to plough on anyway if need be. After a fashion, you are now finding out who your real friends are and who is best kept at arm's length -- time to love 'em or leave 'em.

Saturn Opposition Midheaven
Much of your efforts in the outside world may be hampered by major changes on the home front that cannot be avoided or put off. Thus, you will periodically have to neglect implementations on the outside in favor of shoring up their true bases on the inside. A trim ship in port rides well at sea.

Saturn through the Signs:
Aires, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Saturn Enters Aries
A major shift is underway that for the next couple of years will bank the fires of the overeager but hone the edge of the careful. When things stop, they will do so precipitously, and there won't be any part of "no" not understood. Sudden cutbacks will be equally suddenly restored, but with new restrictions and a better plan to avoid mistakes. The brunt will be taken by those who pushed too hard, too fast.

Saturn Enters Taurus
The next couple of years are going to bring setbacks to those who have been too ingrained in their certitude and have taken their positions and approaches for granted. This will tend to happen slowly, not overnight, and be marked by attrition rather than overthrow. Anyone who thinks hiding in a rut is safe won't think so two years from now.

Saturn Enters Gemini
If talk is cheap, it's about to get even cheaper for the next couple of years. Those who have been all words and no action are likely to get their comeuppance and those who have chosen their ideas carefully will get their rewards. In general, there will be a certain anti-intellectual bias that looks for less from the head, more from the hand and the heart.

Saturn Enters Cancer
A couple of years of home-grown insecurity is just getting underway, with a climate that is not so friendly to those who have kept all their eggs in one basket. Those who have invested in generosity or are generally diversified will find themselves rewarded, along with those who have kept their home budget down at their own expense.

Saturn Enters Leo
The next couple of years is about to see the fall of the high and mighty, so stow your throne or at least prepare to downsize it. The prosperity of overblown royalty and those who act like it will plummet as their foundations crumble, victims of overspent pride. More modest styles of rulership are in the wind, so attend.

Saturn Enters Virgo
The devil is about to be in the details for the next couple of years, and those who haven't been picking up every stitch will find themselves tailored for a tumble. That especially goes for control freaks who aren't, in fact, in control and will be done in by their own rules. Those who have been attending their chores without fanfare, however, will find their ships come in.

Saturn Enters Libra
The next couple of years will likely see a renewal of blind justice with her sword. Those who have spent their time handing out self-made dictums of right and wrong will find themselves hoisted on their own petards, while the meek inherit their earth. If you've been minding your own business, tending to your tasks, you're safe and in line for a promotion.

Saturn Enters Scorpio
Those who have been keeping the wrong sort of secrets will pay for it over the next couple of years, but not necessarily in public. Secret or private endings abound and behind-the-scenes justice may give the appearance of business as usual, belying the true change in course. Open and aboveboard is the safest place to be.

Saturn Enters Sagittarius
They say the truth will out, and the next couple of years should be fraught with examples. Embellisments, hype, spin and those who trade in them will find their fortunes fail and their backers flee. It's all about getting down to the simple, true story, no frills, no substitutes. If you're already there, they'll be looking to you for example.

Saturn Enters Capricorn
Although work may be its own reward, the work ethic is not a guarantee of success. The next couple of years reveal that, as efficient and judicious effort is rewarded while those who have been only repeating operations based on previous success will find their edifices relentlessly crumble. The past reaches the future only through change, don't forget it.

Saturn Enters Aquarius
The next couple of years do not hold much promise for those who have entrenched themselves in commonness. The one-size-fits-all philosophy will see some serious setbacks as quality and quantity part company and leveling bureaucratic structures get shaken up and shaken down. If you've been tending to your own business, this fortunately won't include you.

Saturn Enters Pisces
The next couple of years will produce the end of many illusions and hard times for those who perpetrate them. Matters of unconfirmed belief are likely to be tested, and those who have relied on intuition alone to get by may have to take a more tangible and practical approach. Real and imagined spirituality are set side by side to see which passes the test.

Saturn thru the Houses

Saturn Enters 1st House
A critical time of testing that happens once in 29-and-a-half years is underway, so make decisions carefully. The world at large will be testing your personal perimeters to see how far you can extend yourself under fire. Expect more work and effort than usual, stick to most important. Expect weight loss too!

Saturn Enters 2nd House
Cash flow may be at a minimum for a couple of years, so you have to learn the techniques of getting more out of less, for which you may expect real rewards in the future. Belt tightening now will lead to better use of funds and resources later, and it will end wasteful drains previously missed.

Saturn Enters 3rd House
You will have to sharpen up your wits for a couple of years as ideas come more slowly and need more careful development for effective implementation. Now is the time to rework older plans and schemes that need streamlining and tightening up. Communication with others comes more slowly, rely on your own mind.

Saturn Enters 4th House
Time for housecleaning and trimming ship at home, both physically and emotionally. Throw out extraneous articles that tie you down and free yourself of personal ties that may have become too weighting or demanding. Learn the joys of privacy and self-communion that make your heart where your home is.

Saturn Enters 5th House
Creativity is hard to come by for a two-year stretch, as are recreational and sexual pleasures that used to be taken for granted. Learn to make more of what you do have and see where you may have wasted joys that could have been more thoughtfully savored. Hone already-developed talents to a fine edge.

Saturn Enters 6th House
Work may be harder than usual to come by for a couple of years and more demanding in its details when it does. This may be a strain on nerves, so take extra time to relax when at all possible. Rely on yourself to straighten out details and to tighten working procedures for greater inflow later.

Saturn Enters 7th House
The next two and a half years are critical for your personal relationships, so make decisions with the care they merit. A time favored for marriages (if unmarried) or divorces (if married), symbolizing personal partnership housecleaning and paring down. You are deciding who you don't want around you.

Saturn Enters 8th House
For the next couple of years, plan to rely on your own financial resources as credit will be harder to come by and will cost you more than it is worth. Instead, invest what you know you have and can afford and the results will be fruitful and certain, even if somewhat more modest than desirable.

Saturn Enters 9th House
It is time for solidifying your beliefs and world view, reducing your conceptual bottom line to what you know is real and letting the fantasy go for the next couple of years. You will again re-expand your horizons soon enough and need a firm foundation of philosophy upon which to build when the time comes.

Saturn Enters 10th House
Look forward to a couple of years of extra effort in creating and maintaining your reputation where it has suffered from neglect or the purposeful or inadvertent falsehoods of others. Do what you know is right, not just what might look right, and you will win the day, though you will need time for it to bring results.

Saturn Enters 11th House
Spend some time consciously analyzing and reworking the social circles you move in, sifting out the truly important and close friends from those who are, essentially, hangers-on. Expect to have the same done to you and be glad of it, as you will now know who you can really count on and who you cannot.

Saturn Enters 12th House
Move with particular care for the next two and a half years, as many things and people whom you count upon now may be subject to unexpected shifting sands before long. Get important commitments on paper, as handshake agreements will be worth only the hands they are shaken on. Good fences make good neighbors.
