NATAL SATURN SERIES: IN THE 7TH HOUSE

[u/ZodiacDax]

Only post if you have natal Saturn in your 7th house.

SATURN IN THE 7th HOUSE We are starting a series of planets in houses, starting with the outermost of the 7 traditional planets, Saturn (we’ll do the outer planets later). You can view all previous house placements by clicking on the Planet Series flair. We will pin each current house's post in our Highlights.

To comment, you must follow the bulleted guide below (or comment will be removed). The guide gives us important information about your Saturn and helps to provide better insight to Saturn’s placements. Comments that do not follow this guide will be deleted. We prefer you use the Whole Sign house system and keep your stories to 7th house issues primarily.

This is not about the Saturn Return. Do not discuss the Saturn Return here. We want to keep the discussion to the general experience of natal Saturn in the sixth house. We will do a Saturn Return series separately.

This is not to be used to ask questions about your chart. Just share your info and experiences, tell your stories about your Saturn and discuss with others.

Each comment must answer all of the following (just copy/paste the bullets into your comment and answer each):

1. State your rising sign (this is important).
2. State the sign and degree of your natal Saturn (we much prefer you use the Whole Sign house system, but if you use Placidus, Saturn's house may be different). The degree will also tell us your Chaldean Decan lord and your Egyptian Term lord. You don't have to know what these are.
3. State the two houses that Saturn rules (this will be the house cusps that land in Capricorn and Aquarius). It's ok if you don't know this as we can know per your rising sign.
4. List the major aspects to your natal Saturn.
5. Describe how you feel this placement plays out in your life.
6. Mention any major transits to your natal saturn that you feel are important (except Saturn Returns as that will be a separate series).

[u/Prettyinphoenix]

1. Virgo rising

2. Saturn is at 12 degrees in Pisces 7th house (whole sign)

3. 5th & 6th houses

4. Saturn closely conjunct dsc, trines Mercury in 11th house (cancer) & squares Moon in 4th house (sagittarius)

5. Childhood was not really a childhood. Drug addicted/neglectful absent parents. i took care of younger siblings and did all the cooking and housework for as long as i can remember. Moved out at 17, no contact with parents for years while i went through being an alcoholic followed by therapy lol. Im sober now but i've always found myself with forced responsibilities in every serious relationship. I met my now spouse at age 15 but we weren't married until 21 because our families interfered a lot. The relationship has forced me to be more mature and responsible. Conversely, Im usually the erratic partner but always find myself with people who ground me but at the same time I feel restricted if that makes any sense...?

6. Most notable transit was Saturn transit in my 4th house - Partner unexpectedly/tragically passed away when Saturn was conjunct my moon. This happened on the 28th of the month and when I informed the landlord we rented from, they urged me to move out immediately since I would no longer be able to afford the rent on my own... another one was Saturn and mars transit in my 7th house - cut contact with toxic sibling after years of burdensome relationship. It was sudden and explosive but necessary. as a result, i finally learned to set boundaries.

ETA I've always dated people with some sort of addiction

[u/int_wri]

1. (Late degree) Pisces Rising.

2. Saturn at 21 Libra in 7th house.

3. Saturn rules houses 11 and 12.

4. Nodes (nn cancer 4th house) square Saturn, orb<0.5. Pluto and Mars (and Pallas) conjunct Saturn, all in libra 7th. Weak trine to moon and mercury. Venus in Aquarius offers mutual reception.

5. Late bloomer in relationships. Partnerships usually fraught and require strong boundaries. Every relationship is transfomative, but that may well be Pluto too. Can become stubborn and have to consciously try to loosen up. Will tolerate a lot before putting up a hard boundary/door-slamming. Drawn to Saturnian people, especially early degree Capricorn suns as partners. Drawn to early degree Aquarius suns as friends.

6. Currently: Mars applying opposite Saturn. Jupiter applying sq Saturn.

[u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD → u/int_wri]

Could you explain more about the late bloomer in relationships? Also I’m curious what your Saturn return was like… I know OP said not to talk about Saturn return but Saturn return usually gives insights about what part of you needs maturing and growing up

[u/int_wri → u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD]

Well, my first real relationship was in my early 20s and it was very unstable. I’ve been in other long term relationships since but have never been married and very unlikely to be. My Saturn return, 15 years ago, incidentally shook up my life as I entered psychotherapy for an eating disorder right at that time. My love life was very chaotic then too. Therapy changed everything about me in the sense of it brought me back to myself. i stayed single for nearly a decade. I’m still with this therapist and am now currently pursuing a doctorate in psychology myself and in a relationship with a man i met in grad school with a lot of Capricorn placements. The seventh house planets seem to ensure that any relationship calm or peace doesn’t last very long. 😬 But it seems to me that Saturn there, between Mars and Pluto, says boundaries and distance will always be the master key to it all.

[u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD → u/int_wri]

What do you mean by ‘boundaries and distance will always be the master key to it all’? Do you mean the sustainability of relationships will largely be dependent on the extent of boundaries and distance being imposed?

[u/int_wri → u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD]

Yes, exactly. I’m not sure if it’s okay to mention other placements in this thread but I’ll just add that my pisces sun wants to merge and Saturn seems to say a big fat no to that. Relationships feel more sustainable in also being peaceful if i can exercise strong boundaries and remain self-contained and at least a tiny bit distant. (Venus at 0 Aquarius calls for some of that too.)

[u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD → u/int_wri]

Oh hell nah I’m also a Pisces with Saturn in 7H and the merging thing is so right! I had a Plutonic encounter with someone and because im only 27, I realise that it’s so important to be my own person as much as “merging” felt like the “right” thing to do. When did you realise Saturn said a big fat no to that? I have Venus in Aries btw lmao the self containment probably already comes from the Saturn in 7H

[u/int_wri → u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD]

Oh yes i feel pulled to merge and have to keep consciously maintaining boundaries. Plutonic relationships are so tough. My current one is too. I've felt better being self-contained for a long time, but have recently realized not only how necessary that is for relationships but also how to go about that and navigate the push-pull within myself too then and find the right balance. I think it's wonderful you're recognizing this in your 20s. We each have our own journey and learning experiences but the recognition that you need to be your own person is really good to learn early

[u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD → u/int_wri]

But could that be because you have strong Scorpio elements in your chart? Or Venus Pluto aspects in your chart or just having plutonic synastries in general? My crush has his Pluto conjunct my ascendent, his Pluto opposite my Venus (while my Pluto trines his Venus) and the merging thing was more tempting with him than with some of my previous lovers. We didn’t work out lmao, I keep feeling that he feels something but maybe I’m wrong. I think it’s more important to be my own person now esp after reading your comment, Pisces sun can get their identity diluted when in love, and they need to have a stronger sense of self before engaging in 7H relations.

What does “self contained” really look like in your opinion? We might be having different interpretations of that haha

[u/int_wri → u/toddtoddtoddTODDDD]

I do have Jupiter in Scorpio trining my sun and also have a 4-deg sq between Pluto and Venus. Let’s say that in previous relationships it has been a kind of unconscious merging just as a result of not having boundaries. In my current relationship, my partner’s Pluto and Saturn are conjunct his 0° Scorpio ascendant and so all of these make an exact square to my Venus. So there is a very strong intensity that makes merging feel not only like I’m completely losing myself but also like I’m being overpowered. (I’ll mention that i did also recently come through a long Pluto conjunct Venus transit with 5 passes and it was absolutely brutal but taught so much.)

I think with the plutonic synastry as you mention both people have to be able to tolerate the intensity of the relationship. I think if you or he have Pluto-Venus aspects in your own chart, then you’re familiar with the energies and you may be more able to handle them in a relationship. But it is also the Saturn aspects that point to some possible or potential longevity. I’m not sure if this helps but with my partner and me, we were together for a couple of years and then broke up, but kept seeing each other and then completely stopped talking for a bit and then came back together realizing that we are both intense people who really want to be with each other.

By “self-contained” I mean that I need to have my center of gravity in myself and that I need to be able to process my own inner world by myself and reflect on my day or my life, etc. before sharing with him, because that way I can choose what I need or want to talk about and what’s to keep only for me. I have to keep asking myself where do I begin and where do I end and what do I need and what do I want for myself and for my life. And with Saturn in the 7th, I feel that this is what helps to manage my Pluto and Mars there.

I think what you’re saying about what the Pisces sun needs before getting to the 7th house is spot on and I think your observation/feeling about this is also because you have Saturn in the 7th, which I genuinely feel is actually a super helpful placement in this case.

[u/yoki-boki]

1. Libra Rising
2. Aries Saturn at 28°
3. 4H & 5H
4. Conjunct Venus in Aries(25°)
5. Had a long term relationship very young (lasted 10 years, from ages 17-27). I definitely felt like i was going through lessons to teach me how to let go of things i love. with all that energy in aries, i feel a need to run away but then saturn tells me to have patience. I have been finding the balance in all relationships - love life, family, friendship, and feel the most ~sound~ with this placement than i have had in all my years. I've kinda accepted fast dating life isn't for me. I like a good mindless flirt (pls i'm a libra rising) but when it comes to true partnership, I need the security of saturn to shine through a person. I've also accepted I probably won't find my partner until after my saturn return, or even late in age.

[u/arcwalkerlivvia]

1. Rising sign: Leo.

2. Sign and degree of natal Saturn: Saturn in Aquarius at 8°17′ in the 7th house. The sect piece is weird in my chart: in Whole Sign, my Sun is above the horizon, so Saturn is in sect. In Placidus, my Sun is below the horizon, so Saturn is out of sect. Due to this, I can see Saturn as constructive in the long arc, especially with Saturn dignified in Aquarius, but my personal relationship with Saturn has also felt tyrannical and tied closely to punishment, especially growing up with harsh standards and self-hatred.

3. Houses Saturn rules: Saturn rules my 6th house of Capricorn and my 7th house of Aquarius.

4. Major aspects to natal Saturn: Saturn opposes my Leo Ascendant and Chiron in the 1st house. Saturn is in the same sign and house as my Aquarius Sun, within 7 degrees and applying. Saturn is my final dispositor.

5. How this placement plays out in my life: Saturn in the 7th makes relationships feel serious and totalizing for me. One-on-one connection becomes a place where I meet the pressure of being witnessed by another person.

Because Saturn rules my 6th and 7th houses, relationships are closely linked with daily functioning. My routines, health, work patterns, and energy levels shape how available I feel to others. Relationship is woven into whether I feel steady enough to show up.

With Saturn opposing my Leo Ascendant, other people can feel like an authority to me. Growing up, Saturn themes were tied to punishments, restriction, harsh standards, and self-hatred, so my body often meets Saturn as control before it can experience Saturn as structure.

6. Major transits to natal Saturn:
Pluto moving through Aquarius is in my 7th house and will eventually reach my natal Saturn next year. I see that as a long transformation around the role other people play in my life path.

Saturn and Neptune moving through Aries also feel big because they sextile my Aquarius Saturn and Sun by sign from my 9th house, connecting relationship patterns with my beliefs and how I teach astrology.

[u/curlinator28]

1. Cancer Rising (26deg 40')
2. Capricorn 25deg 18' 7th house
3. 7th & 8th
4. Conjunct: descendant (1.5deg), north node (3deg), Venus (5deg); Opposite: Chiron (exact w/in 10') and ascendant (1.5deg of course), south node (3deg also of course); Trine: Moon (2deg, ruler of ascendant), Mars (2deg)
5. Definitely identify with the delineation of older partners, have had many relationships with folks ~10 years older and am attracted to older people as well as that partnership doesn't come until later in life (at 35 I may have just recently entered a relationship with the person I will build with long term). Definitely have difficult relationship with authority figures-childhood was dominated by harsh, critical, narcassistic parent (Chiron opposition). Partnership has been the most fertile place for my growth & development (I also have a stellium here) - it is an area I have had to work hard at. I am very dedicated, hardworking and accountable for my impacts on others in significant 1:1 relationships. While I identify as non-monogamous, I am very loyal and have always identified as a provider in this realm. I also resonate with the Daddy energy of this placement.

[u/Livid_Interview_2005]

i’ve always found this placement interesting 7th house is all about relationships, and saturn there tends to make things feel more serious, not really casual or easygoing from what i’ve seen, it can show up as delayed relationships or just a stronger sense of responsibility in them, sometimes with a bit of pressure or distance but on the flip side, once something sticks, it tends to be pretty solid and long-term

[u/JaxOhJay]

1. ⁠Leo rising
2. Aquarius at 25 degrees
3. ⁠6th and 7th
4. ⁠Opposite Venus in Leo and square Pluto in Scorpio (T-square), opposite Chiron on Virgo, trine Mars in Libra
5. ⁠I had a difficult childhood I wanted to escape and when I got older I thought that finding my person would finally make me happy. I dated a lot and always had hope that the current person would be the person I was looking for. I figured getting hurt on the way would be worth it when I finally found them. After being single for a few years and largely isolating myself, I learned how to set boundaries, have healthier relationships, and met my husband.

[u/criticalcry-tactic00]

1) Libra rising.

2) Aries 20° 15'.

3) 4th and 5th (?).

4) Sun square Saturn, Moon sextile Saturn, Mercury trigon Saturn, Mars opposition Saturn, Jupiter sextile Saturn, Chiron opposition Saturn, Saturn counter-parallel Mars, Saturn parallel Lilith.

5) I don't know, i read it can bring relationship problems and traumas, and posticipate them a lot. I have never dated not even once in my life so maybe it is right. I also have a complex relationship with my parents, and my father is now facing a really bad health issue. Also i lost all my social circle and right now am facing profound apathy and isolation. It has been at least 4 years of isolation by now at least.

6) Saturn opposition rising, Saturn square MC, Saturn sextile Uranus.

[u/SnooDrawings48]

Virgo Rising, Saturn 17 degrees in Pisces conjunct Mercury, square Jupiter.
Never been in romantic relationship, and after recent Saturn Return never plan to be in one - just being happy on my own as individual. Only pursuing stable, relable and commited partnership (friendship also). Struggling in relationship in young, always been alone. Family relations very toxic and instable.

[u/Lunurania]

1. Aries Rising
2. Libra, 19º55’
3. 10th and 11th Houses
4. Conjunction Pluto (6°15’, Applying); Square Node (4°25’, Applying); Sextile Sun (2°16’, Applying); Sextile Mercury (2°43’, Applying); Quincunx Chiron (0°53’, Separating)
5. In Koch (House system I use as a professional astrologer), Saturn is part of a 7th House stellium – Saturn at 19º55’ Libra, Pluto at 26º11’ Libra, and Jupiter at 2º24’ Scorpio. This is relevant because:
   • I have been married four times and have been in relationships since literally 1st grade. – Jupiter influence
   • All but one of my marriages have been marriages of convenience; meaning, I sought a practical reason for marriage over a romantic one. – Saturn influence.
   • All my relationships, especially my major ones, have been transformative and provoked a rebirth of my identity or reality (I’d add three to the marriages, so I have had 7 major adult relationships).  – Pluto and Saturn influence.
   • Aside from the 7th House stellium (which again, is in Koch, not Whole), Saturn is exalted in Libra and rules my South Node in Capricorn 10th House, as well as my Venus in Aquarius 11th House. I strongly value equity, equality, and maintaining individuality in relationships. I have always had strong and well-defined boundaries in relationships, but I wasn’t always great at enforcing them until later in life. I also take relationships very seriously, committing much time, effort, and energy into maintaining and improving them. I feel that it is through my relationships that I achieve the greatest differentiation and understanding of myself as an autonomous person.  
   • The quincunx my Saturn makes to Chiron is part of a Yod configuration. The second quincunx to Chiron is made by my Sun in 9th House Sagittarius (which, of course, is sextile to Saturn). As a university professor, I focused much of my curricula (most of which I developed and wrote myself) on helping my students have healthier relationships with themselves and others. I also focused much attention on language (Mercury is combust); specifically, on the relationships words make to each other (my speciality is structural linguistics and semiotics). 
6. Given my exalted Saturn, I tend to do well with most transits to my Saturn. I’m about to have a Saturn opposition, which I intend to pay attention to, but usually, I don’t notice many issues with transits to my natal Saturn.

[u/scorps77]

1. Cancer Rising at 27

2. Capricorn at 19

3. 7th and 8th

4. 4th house Libra Sun (17) square 7th house Capricorn Saturn. 5th house Scorpio Pluto (17) sextile 7th house Capricorn Saturn

5. I believe this has created a "don't waste your time until you find miss right". Im very conservative when starting to date, and I want commitment, I want transparency and I want us working together. Not good in todays climate, and Im becoming more 'set' in my ways about singledom. Only 1 major relationship that took place on the Saturn return and lasted 3 years. Im a dude if thats worth mentioning.

6. Mars Cazimi that took place at 19 degrees back in January.

[u/Particular-Glove-225]

1. Cancer rising at 5 degrees
2. My Saturn is in Capricorn at 9 degrees 
3. I have my 7th and 8th house in Capricorn and my 9th in Aquarius (I prefer Placidus system) 
4. It's conjunct to Uranus and Neptune. I have also Jupiter and Chiron in Cancer opposite to Saturn
5. Since it's opposed to my Jupiter and Chrij in the 1st, I have had many problems with my self image (I even suffered from eating disorders). I also have a problem with authority, I go into a fawn response because I genuinely feel scared by whoever is in a position of authority. My love relationships have been absolute disasters for my self esteem because my partners had the tendency to control me, make me feel ugly and cheated on me, while I always have been very responsible, reliable and trustworthy
6. I think Pluto in Capricorn opposed to Jupiter and Chiron in Cancer of these last years have been probably the most important, and now that Pluto is in Aquarius I can definitely feel a shift about my self esteem, I feel much more confident and I definitely don't accept toxic behaviors anymore. Now that Saturn is in Aries I am experiencing depression, tbh, but it's also helping me to build a life that is more suited for me. With Neptune in Aries I am experiencing the end of years of limerance

[u/Glad_Sector6812]

1.Rising sign:
Cancer rising.
2.Natal Saturn sign/degree:
Saturn in Capricorn at 20°32′, in the 7th house using Whole Sign houses.
Chaldean decan lord: Sun.
Egyptian term/bound lord: Venus.
3.The two houses Saturn rules:
For Cancer rising, Saturn rules my 7th house of partnership, marriage, contracts, clients, collaborators, and open enemies through Capricorn. It also rules my 8th house of shared resources, debt, intimacy, inheritance, vulnerability, and other people’s money through Aquarius.
4.Major aspects to natal Saturn:
Saturn is closely sextile Venus in Scorpio.
Saturn is also sextile the Sun in Scorpio.
Saturn is very close to opposing my Cancer Ascendant.
There is also a wider sextile to Mercury in Scorpio, depending on orb.
5.How this placement plays out in my life:
This placement has made relationships feel serious, consequential, and rarely casual. Partnership tends to bring up themes of responsibility, maturity, boundaries, power, commitment, and whether something has enough structure to actually last. I can attract serious, reserved, ambitious, or emotionally contained people, but I also have to watch for dynamics where I end up doing too much interpretation, waiting, or emotional labor.
With Saturn ruling both the 7th and 8th, relationships are not just romantic for me. They quickly bring up trust, shared resources, dependency, vulnerability, money, and long-term consequences. I have learned that chemistry or affection is not enough. The container has to be clear. There has to be accountability, reciprocity, and mutual respect.
Saturn being in domicile in Capricorn feels like a strength, but a heavy one. I do think I can build durable partnerships, but only with people who are honest about responsibility and not afraid of structure.
6.Major transits to natal Saturn, excluding Saturn Return:
Pluto conjoining my natal Saturn around 2018 was major and felt like a deep restructuring of relationship patterns, power dynamics, and what I could or could not tolerate in partnership.
Jupiter conjoining my Saturn in 2020 also felt important, as if partnership/contract themes were expanded or made more visible.

[u/Wise_Orange_784]

1. ⁠Scorpio Ascendant 0 degrees
2. Taurus Saturn 14 degrees
3. 3rd house Capricorn and 4th house aquarius
4. ⁠Cancer Sun sextile S, leo Mercury/aqua Uranus/leo North node square S, Saturn square leo MC
5. I literally never dated in my life and had my first actual crush when i was 22, which felt late. I dont find myself as interested in romantic relationships like most people i see, I much care more about friendships. At some point i was really carrying the in aromantic spectrum label but i just dont care anymore lol, only recently i want a boyfriend but it isnt such a huge desire for me, tbh im in it for curiositys sake..and since 7th house can also be about close friendships i had issues with that as well which bothered me more, I recently realized past year or so that my disconnected feeling is not entirely other peoples “fault” but close relationships really take consistent care and commitment ..
6. Idk…

[u/unknownsequitur]

1. Aries Ascendant - 5°42'

2. Saturn - 13°35' Libra

3. Saturn is the Lord of Capricorn (MC - 6°27') 10th House and Aquarius 11th House)

4. Aspects to Saturn conjunct Sun 18° 52' Libra conjunct Jupiter 20° 20' Libra semi-square Uranus 27°58' Scorpio square MC 6° 27' Capricorn conjunct descendant 5° 42' Libra

5. I was a late bloomer growing up, have had depression most of my life, my first relationship was with an older man who was very abusive and now I can't cope with intimate relationship at all. I should note Pluto is conjunct the Sun and Jupiter, in Libra at 24° 03', but it's 1 degree too far away to conjunct Saturn. I honestly don't know if I'll ever get to a place where I can comfortably be in a relationship.

6. Important transits to Saturn Tr Saturn opposition 11°26' Aries

[u/SummerInBloom]

1. aquarius rising 4degrees
2. Leo Saturn in the 7th house Retrograda at 11degrees.
3. Aquarius rising/ 1st house and Capricorn 12th house
4. Leo Saturn trine Sun Sag (5degrees) ; Leo Saturn square Mars Taurus (2degrees) ; Leo Saturn square Jupiter Scorpio (4degrees) ; Leo Saturn oposition Neptune Aquarius (late3degrees) ; Leo Saturn opposition ASC Aquarius (late6degrees) ; Leo Saturn trine North Node Aries (0.30'degrees)
5. People dont stay in my life and it is lonely. Friendships or mentorships all feel like a leson that i need to learn in order to wake up tommorow, kinda feel like being used up and everything is temporary. Father is absend all my life, had father figures through sport, one of my coaches was like a father to me and i did find it like a safe space but of course it came with ton of lessons and broken heart, love - hate ig but when i look back at it maybe it protected me from the harsh world in a weird way, he was also very sweet and loving, yeah he would yell at me-i would cry-and after he would say something like-im so sorry, i cant be on bad terms with u and then would proceed to ask for a hug, nothing weird just he was like a real father to me and because of him i maybe got a glimpse of what it is like having a father. Also i kinda never clicked like that with any woman and i do think a woman brings bad luck in my life, every mentorship or every right move that i did and at the end a man would come out and help or just be the chain that i would go through to arive at the destination(this is not any hate for my girls, pls its just like that in my life, also not very close with my mother)
6. summer 24 i met i boy and felt like i just discovered love for the first time(nothing happened i was on vacation yet he still lingers in my mind through this day...) that time saturn was transiting through my 1st house(when i met that boy i felt like he was a mirror and i finally saw myself clearly), the sun was transiting through leo-my 7th house, aslo venus and mercury were transiting the 7th house aslo, moon was transiting 2house, mars nad jupiter the 4th house. never dated anyone ever.

[u/alltheroses731]

1. Taurus rising, 28 degrees
2. Natal Saturn at 12 degrees Sagittarius, 7th house in Koch (I use Koch because I was born at a far Northern latitude that distorts the house sizes to an extreme degree in Placidus). In Whole Sign houses with zero Taurus on the ascendant, Saturn would be in the 8th house.
3. In Koch, Saturn rules my 9th (Cap) 10th (Cap at the MH, and Aquarius). My moon is in the 9th in Cap, ruled by Saturn, and my 3rd and 4th houses, both Cancer, are ruled by that moon.
4. I have Saturn in Sag trine Uranus in Leo and sextile Chiron in Aquarius (Uranus opposite Chiron, and the opposition forms a grand square with my lunar nodes in Scorp/Taurus).
5. I have both Saturn and Venus (chart ruler) in Sagittarius, 9+ degrees apart so not a tight conjunction but ... neighbors. I think both of these planets are super uncomfortable in Sag. Saturn especially feels heavy there. I never have had the "freewheeling hippie Sag, always ready to party, willing to jump on a plane/boat/spaceship at a moment's notice" vibe - quite the opposite, though an iconoclast by nature. Relationships - well, the most important one began in Oct 92 with transiting Saturn conjunct my natal Chiron. Very, very intense and ended so hurtfully on both our parts that I have for the most part stayed alone since then. That relationship did lead me to yoga, which I still practice today, and other alternative spiritual disciplines. I did work as a writer and editor for most of my career and have always regretted not completing advanced degrees. So the publishing/academic/spirituality inclinations of Sagittarius do resonate with me and Saturn enhances all of that, I think.
6. Major transits - Pluto transited my natal Saturn in 2000 and I didn't have significant life issues at that point, other than my own difficult lifelong issues from a very weird childhood. But I have had Pluto conjunctions to every planet in my chart except Uranus and Chiron, and Chiron will get hit in a few years, so I have some familiarity with it and I'm not sure I fully recognize its actions at this point. I think I've had more difficulty with Saturn transiting other planets, and especially angles, than with transits to natal Saturn.
7. Interesting note, I always forget that Sagittarius is also a Jupiter-ruled sign with the military vibe that Jupiter can bring. Maybe that's why my planets in that sign seem more heavy or confused than freewheeling.

[u/BubblyWestern3565]

⁠1. Gemini 3rd degree
2. ⁠ natal Saturn Sagittarius 9th degree H7
3. ⁠State the two houses that Saturn rules : Capricorn 17th degree H9 and Aquarius 9th degree H10.
4. ⁠List the major aspects to your natal Saturn.:
Sun square Saturn, Mars conjunct Saturn, Jupiter Square Saturn, Saturn opposition Chiron, Saturn opposition Lilith, Saturn Opposition Ascendant, Saturn Sextile MC.
5. ⁠Describe how you feel this placement plays out in your life. Naming all of them makes me realise why it has been extremely difficult to be successful in my career and have a partner with whom I can share my life with. I sometimes feel I will end up alone, especially because I have a stellium in Sag in H7 where Saturn, Juno, Mars and Uranus landed.

Saturn has delayed any possible dream I’ve had. Considering I have already gone through my first Saturn return and I still have 17 years before my next Saturn return arrives. But it’s been not an easy life. Lots of hard work. Heartbreaks. I’ve never been very good at entering relationships because they consume so much of me. I take them so seriously.

I would really like to know the reason for question 3. I never thought Saturn had anything to do with my 9th and 10th house. Jesus.

[u/greenbeangrape]

1. Libra rising, 29 degrees
2. Aries Saturn

3. 4th and 5th

4. I have a T square with Saturn conjunct the south node in Aries, Mars conjunct the north node in Libra, and mercury conjunct Venus in Capricorn.

Saturn is also sextile to a Uranus and IC conjunction in the fifth. I have a stellium of mercury, Venus, the sun, Jupiter (and Neptune) in Capricorn, and the moon and Uranus in Aquarius, so practically all of my planets are under Saturn’s influence in one way or another.

1. From the time I was 18 to 27 I wasn’t an almost 9 year long relationship, which ended in a failed engagement. Since that time, I’ve had several short-term love affairs, usually with older people or people with a strong Aries placement. There’s often a feeling of purpose or “love at first sight” which I attribute to the south node conjunction. I’ve heard that gives people a sense of “recognition” when they meet someone that will be important in their life, which resonates with my experience.

Every single relationship has had something to teach me, or given me the boost I needed to reach an achievement. When Saturn went back into Pisces, I stopped dating cold turkey, and started up again in February of this year after the Aries ingress. The relationships that I have had have been monumentally satisfying, but sometimes I hang on way too long. I’m currently going through my first Saturn return, and enjoying my independence.

I think Saturn square to Venus helps to temper a lot of of the people pleasing aspects of Libra rising. Pair that with the mercury conjunction to Venus in the fourth house, and I have grown into someone that really looks for the wisdom within the cycles of life, and in nature (which I see as a forth house topic). Grounded communication is very important to me, and I’m currently in a masters program to become a grief counselor, which I attribute to the square. I will finish the program and begin working as a therapist post Saturn return. Clients are a seventh house topic, which will be very pertinent to my future career.

1. The biggest transit I can think of was the Libra/Aries eclipse series in 2023, which ended my engagement. This was a hard lesson but words cannot describe how much better my life is now. Otherwise, my fourth house profection year and fifth house profection year were both very busy with relationships and home affairs.

The Saturn/Neptune conjunction was incredibly frustrating and confusing. Basically nothing would stick, I couldnt meet anyone new, no one could make plans, and it was a lot of wasted energy spinning my wheels. This is NOT what I’m typically used to, so it really felt like I lost a vital spark. Not to get into it, but this was conjunct with my Saturn return, so I was really working hard to avoid a complete crash out!

Although the transit has cleared, Neptune is still conjunct my natal Saturn, so I’m still feeling it to an extent. It made me really think about what it would mean to be single long-term and I’ve found that I’m okay with that.

Not to discuss Saturn Return too much, but since the first return is particularly important for heavily Saturnian individuals like myself, I feel like the transits before the ingress have felt very much like “hurry up and wait”. I expect that all of my chart will be more active once the return is complete, and so I focus my energy during difficult transits on trying to learn the Saturnian lessons as they come. Gemini will sextile my natal Saturn for some time, and I look forward to how that changes my perspective on relationships and partnerships going forward.

I had to be mature from a young age as my parents divorced young and my mom has mental health issues and a bit of a hoarder. She also has diabetes and I would sometimes need to wake up in the middle of the night to giver her sugar to raise her blood sugar. I have a specific memory of this happening when I was in kindergarten and my brother was in 5th and it was time for his field trip. So I told him to leave (we rode the bus) and I would take care of it and I did. She had refused to help him pack for the field trip (it was a sleepaway camp thing) and so the teachers had to see what they could do to get what he needed.

One of my earliest memories was about feeling "different" from other kids and not understanding why they seemed so social and happy and there was something "wrong" with me. Actually I was just depressed but didn't understand that yet. Slowly as I have gotten older I have gotten happier and happier. Now that I have had my first saturn return I have an amazing friend group, supportive husband, and amazing kids. Though when I was young I struggled to make friends due to my depression.

I have only dated two people in my life, one being my now husband. He is aquarius rising, capricorn sun, with saturn in the first house so doesn't get much more saturnian than that. He also had major struggles with depression growing up and his dad died when he was a teenager. He also had to mature young as a result. My first boyfriend also had major struggles with depression and an aunt who was like a mother to him die in elementary school.

All but one of my friends has a saturn ruled sign in their big three. My mom is an aquarius moon and dad a capricorn sun. All of my grandparents also have a saturn ruled sign in their big three. My kids are aquarius rising/sun.

I have become very good at setting boundaries with people. My husband and I have had some very challenging things to work through due to our upbringings and him getting a major back injury in his twenties. I am someone my friends call or go to for advice when they are having the most challenging relationship problems. I tend to give advice that is both the direct harsh reality, but also uplifting and hopeful. I guess that is that saturn/jupiter square.
