For us with Saturn in Aries

Personal Thoughts:

What are your placements? What houses are ruled by Saturn? There's two for us. The Capricorn house and the Aquarius house. And what house is Saturn in for you?

(If you use Placidus, let curiosity take over for a second and look at your whole sign chart. Let's use whole sign astrology for rn.)

Now let's talk with about you and Saturn.

Saturn in Aries: Saturn is not where it likes to be. Take your favorite subject. Now put yourself in the worst class on your schedule. That's where Saturn is.

Now Saturn means no harm. It doesn't work to stress. It works through it. But when you put Saturn in it's worse class how can it do that??? It won't do it well. It almost feels impossible.

You want Saturn to move fast, but it moves slow. You want Saturn to be deliberate, but this class is never settled down enough to think. In the face of adversity, Saturn has to overcome this place or else it'll crumble.

Where is your Saturn placed? Is this your unhappy place? 10th house of jobs? 1st house of confidence? 2nd house of money? 5th house of kids or hobbies?

Is there some confusion for you? Can you just never seem to get it right? Maybe it's your relationships, but your Venus is Saturn ruled. Maybe it's your inability to take proper action cause your Mars is Saturn ruled. You get it.

So what does Saturn in Aries want us to do? That depends on the house it rules for you. That depends on where it stands.

For me, my passions were lost long ago. What did that to me? The constant punishments from a family member. My home was like a jail cell. I couldn't eat when I wanted to or sometimes there was no food. I had to work at home. Chores, babysitting, too much responsibility for a kid to handle. Neglected and expected to be a second parent too. Saturn sits dead center in my 4H. This is a fixed scenario. It lasted years and took my passions away from me. Saturn in Aries.

My confidence was low. I gave up on artistic talents. I became stern and stiff. Depressed and miserable. I grew up, moved out into another home only to face the same thing. Different side of the family, worse situations. This time my passions were affected by an attention seeking narcissit. She played victim and ruined all my stuff, free space and took over my mental space. I just wanted to get out.

Saturn rules my 1H and 2H. My valuables, my confidence. I have so many planets under it's rule too. Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Mars and Jupiter. My mind, my crafts, my dreams, my actions and my blessings... all gone.

Saturn rules these issues, but it doesn't cause them. It just shows you what it affects. We all operate off of each other and people do what they choose. Saturn will just tell you what it's supposed to govern for you. So how do we fix this?

What are your passions and where are you letting them go? Are you giving them up to take care of kids? Are you sacrificing self to keep the peace at work?

What are you doing to you or for you in the face of adversity?

You can't afford to let yourself drown with this placement. Saturn can't bounce back that quickly until you get older and learn a bit.

So for rn, what are we doing? How can your passions get you out? How can you sit with Saturn and make a passionate escape plan for you? One that builds a strong foundation for you later? One that you don't have to escape from? One that you'll love later. If it ain't that, it won't work. Saturn's blessings are bountiful and long lasting, but every strong tree needs good foundations.

Your chart may be able to tell you what you'd like, what you CAN do. But it's up to you to see what you've been ignoring since restrictions, delays and issues fell upon you. You have to look inside. It's something that's been a long time coming. It ain't new, but it might feel refreshing for you cause you let it go.

Maybe this advice is specific to me, but I hope not. I want to help you too.
