Transiting Saturn, or the area of the natal chart where Saturn is currently positioned, points towards an area of life we might be amidst facing the demands to reach a new level of wisdom and maturity, which can often come in the form of confronting the realities of what we’ve been avoiding or running from up to that point. Saturn transits are often dreaded, or even feared, but in reality, this astrological taskmaster simply wants you to thoroughly learn the lesson at hand and is ready to come in and bring your attention to those things that will crumble under his weight. In other words, Saturn enters the picture to bring your attention to those things that are truly not sustainable, whether that be a job, a relationship, a habit, a living situation, or even a facet of your identity. In the ancient world, Saturn (and his Greek counterpart Cronos) was an agricultural god. True to this, Saturnian transits ultimately come with the message, you reap what you sow. As we navigate Saturn transits we’re offered the opportunity to learn what did and didn’t work for us in the past and why, and how we can adjust things to create a more bountiful harvest down the road.
As we move through Saturn’s transition into a new sign, we’re also preparing to welcome Saturn into a new space in our natal charts, and thus, open up a new chapter of meeting the demands for commitment, mastery, maturation, and the development of hard-earned wisdom in a specific area of our life.
When viewing Saturn through a neutral lens, its movement through the chart isn’t here to inflict hardship, but rather put your existing frameworks to the test. Are your life structures, beliefs, sense of autonomy, relationships, physical and mental health, all built to endure difficult moments just as well as ease? The weight of Saturn imparts the need to scrutinize whether you’ve built your life in accordance with the lessons that seem to pop up over and over again, or whether you tend to bypass these lessons without readjusting your life accordingly in a sustainable way. Saturn certainly presents challenges, but also presents opportunity to obtain and integrate lived wisdom.
When anticipating (or experiencing) Saturn’s presence in a certain house it’s important to consider your relationship to that area of your life up to this point, what you’ve been putting into it, and whether that is in or out of alignment. Wherever Saturn dwells we can expect lessons of that area of life to come to a head - have you learned those lessons, or have you been taking shortcuts? As a result, Saturn transits often require us to confront deep-seated, subconscious fears: the very possibilities of reality that we tend to avoid.
Saturn in Aries Horoscope for Cancer Risings
For you, Cancer, Saturn’s shift into Aries welcomes this planet into your tenth house of vocation, public reputation, visibility, and career. As Saturn’s presence emanates in this area of your life you may find yourself confronting limitations, delays, and difficulties in regards to achieving goals and cultivating success. You may also find yourself confronting any unsustainable patterns and unhealthy fixations in your existing career path and goals. Saturn in the tenth house asks, how sturdy is the pedestal you’re standing on? Not only by means of integrity and alignment with your sense of calling, but also by means of how you’re tending to and nurturing yourself, filling your own cup as you pour out into society. Working through these challenges is ultimately a call to redefine what success means to you all together. An uncomfortable part of confronting this challenge is asking yourself what you relationship is to the need to prove yourself to others through achievement. With Aries residing in this portion of your chart, you likely hold strong ambition, drive, and willpower to achieve, however, the most important key to feeding your inner Aries in a nurturing way is to make sure you’re honoring your calling for purpose (as opposed to feeding yourself to something meaningless). What purpose do you identify with when you consider your deeper reason for being and how is (or isn’t) your current career path aligned with and supporting that? Within this period of Saturn in Aries you may meet a demand for the maturity to step into more public-facing roles, but the key here is to ask yourself whether these roles are contributing to society in a way that aligns with your sense of calling. If pursuit of recognition as a public figure is a part of your calling, this transit may bring about a strong demand to confront fears around visibility as a means of fully committing yourself to your vocation of choice.
Saturn in Aries Horoscope for Scorpio Risings
Saturn in Aries brings our astrological taskmaster into your sixth house of daily routines, habits, labor, service, physical health and wellbeing. The sixth house is concerned with how we spend our two most valuable resources: our time and energy. As a planet that governs boundaries, restrictiveness, limitations, and lessons shifts into your sixth house, you’ll be confronted with whether or not your current ways of being are ultimately in support of your own longevity. What habits that take up space in your day to day are ultimately detrimental to your health? What systems and structures that make up your day to day are unsustainable and leading you straight in to burnout? Saturn transits to the sixth house also bring your attention to the connection between the mind and body, asking us what habits, routines, and systems are not just supportive of our physical wellbeing, but our holistic wellbeing (including mental, emotional, and spiritual health). Time falls under the domain of Saturn, and as Saturn moves through this space in your chart you may find yourself confronting fears around time. Saturn is here to test the foundational integrity (as Saturn tends to do) of how you structure the mundane of your life. Have you built systems and structures that you over-identify with? Is there space within your systems and structures for excitement and novelty (as an Aries sixth house tends to need)? Saturn in this house presents the opportunity to bring structure to your outer world through ritual and routine as a means of bringing order and peace to your inner self. This transit asks you to commit to your own wellbeing holistically by looking at how every piece of your day to day fits together.
Saturn in Aries for Pisces Risings
Saturn’s shift into Aries brings this planet out of your first house and into your second. The shift from the first to the second house brings our attention from who we are to what we have. The second house holds domain over material possessions, personal resources, money, and what we value, both internally and externally. Saturn’s time in your first house has been deeply impactful for your own understanding of who you are and how you show up in the world, Pisces, and now it’s time to re-mold your values and self-worth around the person you have matured into. Saturn’s time in your second house will demand that your own decision-making process reflect your true values and self-worth and become discerning around whether the way you’ve structured your life reflects your own values. While this transit stands to challenge you to confront your own insecurities, self-criticism, and low self-esteem, it stands to bolster your self-confidence, self-worth, and trust in your own inner resources, and in doing so and in finding re-alignment between your sense of self and your values. Of course, Saturn’s presence here also deals with material resources, and stands to present some big challenges and lessons around your financial patterns and habits. What is your current relationship to money and is it sustainable? Do you trust yourself to spend your resources in a way that supports the life you want to live? It may even be worth considering whether how you make money still feels in alignment with what you value in both yourself and the world. Saturn in the second house demands commitment to creating a structural framework around how you handle money, particularly around managing your resources with the long-term in mind.
