3rd House

Time-Lordly Saturn, God of boundaries and that which can be measured – am not in the mood to go into mortality & taxes right now but one could. But right now, am interested in the POSITIVE side of Saturn. Saturn has just whizzed Direct and is now zooming through the end degrees of Virgo, with one BIG opposition to Uranus before zipping into Libra. Last weekend was a strong Saturn vibe, f.y.i.

But this D.I.Y. Astro challenge is simply this. Get your chart & clock the sign and the house that Saturn is in; This area of your life is one that’s achingly difficult in early life – perhaps even pre-Saturn Return but it becomes buffed up, worked at and eventually your shining pride. And most likely only you will know how hard it was. Where-ever Saturn is, you get to WORK.  You have to have a proper structured plan. You learn harsh lessons in that area of life.

eg; a lot of self-made people have Saturn in the 2nd house – $$$ and self-worth, to name the most pertinent themes. They can seem amazingly financially secure, glowingly prosperous even but they’ve had to struggle not only for that money but for the idea that they deserve it. Perhaps also to crawl out from under some strange inheritance from a parent re money. I mean inherited ideas…eg; a gambling father. Or a mother who hoarded things. Your Saturn area is often also where you are self-taught.

Saturn in the 6th can be someone who was sick or somehow burdened with an allergy or similar in youth. So later they become these incredible beacons of fitness, nutrition and knowledge – it’s not apparent what they had to go through to get to that point. I know someone with Saturn in the 6th who had to wear some sort of a orthopedic cast thingie at primary school to correct a spine problem, which mortfied her. She was hospitalised for anorexia as a teen and then – to get over that – she got into competitive body building. In each extreme she went over the top; now she is a really brilliant homeopath & yoga teacher.  Most people who meet her would have  no idea the issues she had with her body.

So, go check out your Saturn & see what you can figure out. It’s always good to remember to be sensitive with another person’s Saturn area. And, it’s always the area of someone’s chart/life that they really love having honestly acknowledged. eg; Saturn in the 3rd (communications) could be someone who had to overcome a severe speech defect or was maybe raised in an environment where she wasn’t really allowed to talk. So that Saturn would love being acknowledged for her eloquence or even just lovely speaking voice. Saturn in the 3rd can start with a stutter and/or shyness and wind up on the radio or the public speaking circuit. True!
