Saturn transits

Preface

According to an Indian parable, one day, all the merchants of a certain kingdom gathered at a grand artisan fair at the king’s invitation. The king announced that he would purchase all the goods that remained unsold. One merchant was unable to sell his iron statuette of Saturn. Following the king's orders, the royal servants bought the statuette and brought it to the palace.

That night, the king had a dream in which he saw a very beautiful woman separating herself from his body. The woman turned out to be Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. She told the king that she could not stay in the presence of Saturn and then left him.

Afterward, Triumph, Righteousness, Resilience, Compassion, Tolerance, and other virtues also departed from him in the same manner. The king did not attempt to stop them. However, when Truth prepared to leave last, the king tried to hold onto it, saying that he had never abandoned it.

All the virtues waited outside the door for Truth to join them so they could leave together in search of a new home. After waiting for a long time (as Truth never came out), Righteousness said that it could not exist without Truth and therefore returned to the king. One by one, the other virtues followed.

Lakshmi was the last to return. She told the king that all the virtues had come back to him because of his love for Truth, a love that no virtue could resist. She also said that a person who is so devoted to Truth can never be unhappy.

About Saturn Transits

Saturn is responsible for patience, wisdom, and discipline. It favors those who know how to be grateful and patient, guiding individuals toward self-development by teaching lessons so they can become who they are meant to be.

Among all the planets studied in Vedic astrology, Saturn is the slowest-moving planet. It remains in one sign for approximately two and a half years (sometimes up to three years). Saturn takes about thirty years to traverse the entire zodiac. This prolonged influence on each house of the natal chart makes its transits highly significant, capable of bringing substantial changes to a person’s life.

The sign of Libra is the strongest position for Saturn (its exaltation), offering the greatest opportunities. Capricorn and Aquarius are Saturn’s own signs, where it also expresses its strength, albeit slightly less than in Libra.

Taurus, Gemini, and Virgo are Saturn’s friendly signs, which bring success, though Saturn’s strength in these signs is notably weaker compared to Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius.

Sagittarius and Pisces are neutral signs for Saturn. They do not contribute significantly to success but also do not drain its strength.

Cancer, Leo, and Scorpio are hostile signs for Saturn, diminishing much of its strength and resources when it resides in them.

Aries is Saturn’s weakest position, its debilitation, where it has the fewest opportunities.

Depending on the sign occupied by transiting Saturn, a person receives an opportunity during this period to become more organized, meticulous, and orderly. It is essential to take into account the influence of other planets (both natal and transiting) on transiting Saturn when making predictions. One should also consider the position of the ruler of the house Saturn is transiting through, the houses ruled by Saturn, and the natal Saturn, which influences a person throughout their life.

Saturn casts a direct aspect on the seventh house from itself (its strongest influence is on the house it occupies, followed by the seventh house from itself). Additionally, it aspects the third and tenth houses from itself.

Saturn Transit in Aries

This period can be favorable for brave, independent, and idealistic individuals, even though Saturn is incompatible with Aries, which loves freedom and resists submission. Saturn will impose boundaries and push people into systemic frameworks, but at the same time, leaders determined in their goals will emerge. During this time, individuals may organize protests, uprisings, or become leaders of movements, gaining significant authority. It often happens that popular heroes perish during Saturn’s transit through Aries.

There will be heightened attention to the military sphere and the development of the military and metallurgical industries during this time. Professionals and experienced individuals will be appointed to leadership positions. Order will also be restored in organizations related to sports.

There may be disarmament, troop withdrawals from certain areas, or a reduction in the army, provided there are no negative aspects affecting transiting Saturn. Negative aspects, however, are unfavorable for leaders, leading to criticism, a decline in popularity, governmental splits, changes in leadership, or uprisings. Governments during this period may introduce laws that limit people’s freedoms. Negative aspects also bring an increase in crime, terrorist acts, mass military drafts, and active armament.

With retrograde Saturn in Aries, you may face many difficult situations that persist until you let go of stubbornness. Consider alternative ways to solve problems—solutions might lie where you least expect them. It is advisable to slow down, avoid excessive activity, and remain consistent during this retrograde period to prevent serious consequences.

Saturn will transit your first house. While transiting the first house (head, health, appearance, character, inclinations), Saturn casts a direct aspect on the seventh house (marriage or business partners) and also aspects your third house (short trips, younger siblings, neighbors, surroundings, writing, art, and creations made with your hands) and your tenth house (work, career, and the father’s reputation).

Saturn rules your tenth house and eleventh house (desires, ambitions, elder relatives, elder siblings, friends, interest groups, the internet, and foreigners). Transiting Saturn provides you with the opportunity to better control your actions and desires, become more restrained, and less impulsive.

Your memory will improve, and you will pay more attention to details. However, you may become indecisive and overly fearful of the consequences of your actions. At the same time, endurance will increase, even though physical strength may weaken. With patience and effort, you can achieve a great deal during this time.

During this period, you might experience frequent headaches, dental issues, psychological stress, and fatigue.

During this period, you will be able to accomplish what you have long postponed. Some of you may work on arranging your home or doing something for your loved ones.

It is also a favorable time to get rid of complexes and feelings of guilt. This period can bring wisdom, allowing you to honestly assess your life, understand, and reflect on many things (for example, the purpose of past problems and difficulties). All the negative experiences from the past can now be perceived as blessings.

Changes in your work may occur during this period.

Saturn governs your third house and fourth house (emotions, overall happiness, mother, family, real estate, transportation).

In the sixth house, Saturn's negative influence is reduced. However, Aries is the worst position for Saturn. During this time, you will have to take on responsibilities, help others, and perform much additional work (the sixth house is the house of service).

Saturn Transit in Taurus

The transit will be beneficial if you exhibit patience during this period and are open to change.

You will need to draw conclusions by reflecting on your failures and successes. Avoid being too harsh on yourself. It is recommended to remain authentic, do what you enjoy, and spend more time in nature.

It’s time to bring order to your life by eliminating everything unnecessary, leaving only what is beneficial. Only by freeing yourself from the old and useless can you anticipate joy and satisfaction in the future. During this period, you will be able to recognize what needs to be let go of, as Saturn in transit will allow you to see it clearly. This process will unfold gradually.

Retrograde Saturn in Taurus compels one to reflect on the importance of material values in life. During this time, one may realize an increasing tendency toward greed, endlessly accumulating things out of fear of losing them. Thoughts may arise about how personal happiness is being sacrificed for material stability.

Saturn will transit through your second house. While transiting the second house (parents, savings, family income, speech, nutrition), Saturn directly aspects the eighth house (unexpected money or situations, inheritance, partner’s money, secrets, sexuality, esotericism), as well as the fourth house (emotions, overall happiness, mother, family, real estate, vehicles) – the third house from itself – and your eleventh house (income, desires, ambitions, elder siblings, senior relatives, the internet, foreigners, interest-based groups) – the tenth house from itself.

Saturn rules your tenth house (work, career, father’s reputation) and eleventh house.

During this period, pay close attention to relationships with loved ones. You may feel the need to reevaluate them and distance yourself, which will help you plan new goals conducive to future success. This includes both financial success and inner satisfaction from the work you do.

Saturn will transit through your first house. While transiting the first house (head, health, appearance, character, tendencies), Saturn directly aspects the seventh house (spouse or business partner), as well as your third house (short trips, younger siblings, neighbors, environment, writing, art, and anything created with your hands) and the tenth house (work, career, father’s reputation).

Saturn rules your ninth house (long journeys, education, spiritual growth, father, guru, luck, dharma, courts, laws) and tenth house.

During this period, significant changes will take place in your life, and you will not be able to stop the process. This will especially affect your career, influencing financial matters. Do not cling to the old. Learn to accept the changes life brings and understand that all this is necessary for the soul’s development.

Saturn will transit through your twelfth house. While transiting the twelfth house (problems, expenses, foreign lands, isolation, meditation, sacrifice, enlightenment, pilgrimage as work or work with foreigners, sex, sleep), Saturn directly aspects the sixth house (enemies, debts, hard work, cousins), as well as your second house (parents, savings, family income, speech, nutrition) – the third house from itself – and your ninth house (education, long journeys, spiritual growth, guru, father, luck, dharma, courts, laws) – the tenth house from itself.

Saturn rules your eighth house (unexpected money or situations, partner’s money, inheritance, secrets, sexuality, esotericism) and ninth house.

You will feel relatively comfortable during this transit. You will be able to adapt to new conditions (it won’t be too difficult) and even strengthen your position.

If you live with your parents and are married, it is better to separate from them. You should not live with any elder relatives but instead focus on your own family and protect it from outside influences.
