In astrology, Saturn is associated with teaching discipline. Saturn can show an individual what lessons they must learn in this lifetime. To which degree and to how it will manifest itself, will depend on where it is situated. What sign Saturn is in and into which House it falls, will indicate much about an individual's personality.
Descriptions of Saturn's Positions in a Birth Chart
Saturn's location in a birth chart will have a marked influence on how that person's fate may unfold. By knowing how Saturn manifests itself, anyone can glean important, practical information, which can be used as a general aide in life.
- Saturn in Aries – Saturn mixed with Aries indicates a structure blended of leadership and a great deal of self reliance. Great for Executive or CEO positions. Long hours to achieve an end is common for this Saturn position. This person will do whatever it takes to get what they want.
- Saturn in Taurus – A Taurus and Saturn combination can make this character overly concerned with having enough material possessions. Although a tireless worker with excellent staying power, however at times that very staying power will translate into constant worrying about not having enough material goods. This can morph into a rat pack-type of mentality if it's not kept in check.
- Saturn in Gemini – Saturn will slow down the speedy Gemini enough so that there is better focus for any type of writing or speech. All of Gemini's traits will be slowed, so as to allow them to be much more usable and less scattered. The nervous system will also be more steady, with this Saturn position.
- Saturn in Cancer – Mixed with Cancer, Saturn will likely bring some degree of depression unless other factors in the chart counter balance it. Worry is the biggest enemy, as Saturn's discipline can weigh heavily on an already sensitive, emotional nature. This person may tend to question him/herself on many issues, though this combination is excellent for social worker-type mentalities.
- Saturn in Leo – Saturn, when blended with the Lion, will bring structure to the big picture viewpoint Leo is so known for. Much more serious than a regular Sun in Leo type. Leo's big heart is somewhat hardened with Saturn and one may appear cooler in nature.
- Saturn In Virgo – Saturn is more at home in the earth sign of Virgo. It bestows much attention to detail, practicality, efficiency, all of the good traits of Virgo are enhanced when it is located in Saturn. This person should make sure to keep very busy, because Virgo's energy is a constant one.
- Saturn in Libra – Saturn and Libra tends to make this character care far too much of what others think. Whether financial, material, or physical, this need for approval can be frustrating. On the other hand, there is a certain fair mindedness, as problems are thought out with the utmost care in mind. Fairness to others, often comes before personal needs.
- Saturn In Scorpio – Scorpio brings much intensity into the chart. Saturn and Mars blended together gives discipline structure and excellent energy - all are ideal for accomplishing much in life. Few are more self disciplined than a Saturn Scorpio. They should however watch out for a tendency to never forgive, or to want revenge at all costs.
- Saturn in Sagittarius – Saturn in Sagittarius may create conflict, due to Saturn's disciplinary tendencies and the Sage's love for freedom. However, it can very well strengthen educational, or spiritual pursuits. Saturn will channel the love for education or religion into a constructive, cohesive process.
- Saturn in Capricorn – Saturn is intensified with this position, because it is in its own sign. This position will make the personality crave professional, or social success. It bestows much self-discipline and self-denial in order to achieve the desired goal(s). The character will be reserved in some manner and a serious outlook will be prevalent. Social status, power and prestige are first and foremost in the mind and this may take away from necessary leisure time.
- Saturn in Aquarius – This Saturn position will allow the character to see problems in a whole new light, long after everyone else has exhausted their efforts. The Aquarius unpredictable nature also allows this person to view problems from differing angles. When mixed with Saturn, it transforms into a steadying, structured influence.
- Saturn in Pisces – Saturn in Pisces tends to scatter the energies somewhat, depending on how prevalent Saturn is overall. Saturn is discipline and structure, Pisces has an endless, foggy-type influence. Saturn can hardly contain it all. This effect may make the person feel like there is always some sort of unfinished business lingering in the background.
