Rules: Capricorn (and classically Aquarius) / 10th house (and classically 11th house)
Natal significance: Where Saturn is in your birth chart shows where you feel repressed, inhibited or constricted. As Jupiter expands what it touches in the chart, Saturn disciplines and constricts. Saturn is often associated with the father or patriarchal archetype, and it often brings "for your own good" life lessons. Look to Saturn's placement by sign and house to find the stumbling-block you need to overcome, and try to learn to use your Saturn energy wisely, as discipline, responsibility and reliability rather than inhibition.
Transiting significance: Where Saturn passes in your chart
is where you will find yourself being tested, called upon to learn
lessons and acquire new skills and responsibilities -- and, if
you rise to the challenge rather than shirking it, increased status,
confidence and authority. Your first Saturn return -- when Saturn
returns to your birth position -- at the age of approximately
28, is a time when you may come into your own, truly become an
adult for the first time. This Saturn transit can be a trying
period but also represents growth and achievement, depending on
how a person has handled life's challenges and learning experiences.
