Saturn represents the restraining force within you which sets you up for tests and long-term rewards.
Its tests are preceded by excesses in the areas being tested.
When Saturn is in your 2nd House (finances and earnings), you will get into many debts, be forced to cut back, and become frugal and realistic in your expenditures.
Saturn helps you organize and make you more productive with your work.
This will help you establish budgets and long-term financial plans.
Everyone goes through four major Saturn transits around the 12 houses.
Here are the four stages when Saturn crosses the Cardinal points:
1- When Saturn crosses your Fourth House, you lay the foundations,
2- When Saturn crosses your Seventh House, you interact with the public and get a new start in life
3- When Saturn enters your Tenth House, you achieve your peak and are at your Zenith. This is the highest public response and recognition.
4- When Saturn reaches your First House, it is time to consolidate your past achievements.
This is the time to begin keeping a low profile and focus on building the groundwork again.
Saturn transits are like a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block.
Recognize the four stages of Saturn's transits and take these stages as opportunities to build on rather than limitations to run away from.
Otherwise, you will get an even bigger test later on e.g. avoiding taxes when Saturn is in your 8th could lead to legal matters when it transits your 9th House.
The Four 7-Year Stages of Saturn reflect Your Highs and Lows and represent one of the most time-tested stages in the cycles of Saturn.
Which phase of Saturn’s Cycle you are going through will help you establish the timing of your long-range goals.
1- Saturn completes its first cycle when you are 29 years old and coincides with maturity, responsibility, authority, and re-evaluation of your goals.
2- Every 7 years, it marks important milestones in your life as it crosses houses 1, 4, 7 and 10 and when it makes conjunction, square, and opposition to your Sun.
3- As it stays in each house for 2 1/2 years, it strengthens those areas of your life and makes you more realistic through tests and struggles.
4- Plan ahead and be prepared for your next test as the groundwork has to be laid well in advance. Look at the next test coming up, and develop those areas rather than running away from them.
Key to Saturn’s Transits in 12 Houses (Areas of Longterm Tests, Difficulties, and Achievement)
1 This important transit brings new maturity, authority, and increased personal responsibilities.
You feel you are not growing any younger and start focusing on achieving your personal goals with an added sense of ambition.
Self-imposed restrictions because of too many responsibilities – home, career, spouse, children, etc.
Good time to establish priorities and consolidate your public image before keeping a low profile.
2 Your ability to withstand financial stress is being tested so be careful of getting yourself into too much debt.
Improve your long-term earning capacity by evaluating your sources of income and making long-term investments.
By the end of this 2 1/2 yr. period, you will become more realistic in money matters.
Excellent for making long-term savings, paying off debts and mortgages, etc.
Good for working with govt. or large corporations. You will start moving away from the public eye and focusing on things that you really enjoy.
3 Your ability to communicate and organize your daily life and schedules is now being tested.
Delays in getting through to people force you to manage your time and plan/delegate more effectively.
Excellent for trade courses in organization and time management.
Careful of walking, driving, or car-related mishaps. Communication problems with close relatives and dental as well as kneecap problems for them.
4 You feel held back and restricted at home because of responsibilities that you cannot break free from but this is the last stage of keeping a low profile.
Focus on laying the foundations and groundwork for your future success. Difficulties or delays with moves.
This is a good time for building your home or renovating it including landscaping to increase its value through your own efforts.
It is the time to strengthen your home and establish the next 7-year goals.
Parents need to be careful of their health (arthritis or joint-related problems also).
5 Testing period with children and love affairs. Delays in having children or responsibilities and restrictions due to children.
Skin, teeth, and bone problems for children. This is the time when you go through tests of relations and restrictions in love affairs.
Old flames may come back. Excellent time to develop your hobbies and make them productive.
Hobbies pursued now become a source of income later on. It is an excellent time for earth-related hobbies – sculpture, ceramics, pottery, landscaping, real estate, building, construction, or renovations. Be careful of speculative ventures.
6 Testing of your work environment and minor aspects of health.
You encounter more authority conflicts at work and feel restricted but learn to accept it and also start having greater influence over others.
For own business, this is the time to cut down on inefficient staff, make the place more productive, and expand cautiously.
Confront any minor skin, teeth, or bone-related problems now while they are at a preventive stage.
7 As you start entering public life now, the first major test is that of marriage and open partnerships.
You start becoming selective in your choice of close associates, friends, spouse, or those who you live with.
Separation or divorces are common but not necessary unless the person is going to restrict you in the long run.
After this test, your bond will be stronger as you will become more realistic in your expectations of your partner, seeking long-term friendship rather than just romance which thrives on deception!
8 This test is for your ability to raise finances. Difficulties, breakups, or delays relating to partnerships or joint ventures.
Good for commercial investments maturing in 4 to 7 years and long-term assets.
Delays and difficulties with banks, loans, mortgages, settlements, inheritance, grants, or money through insurance. Careful of income tax problems (audits!)
Strengthens the partnership or any joint venture. Good for government grants, long-term contracts, or pensions but delays as well.
A major test of contractual matters.
9 Major tests of legal ethics (lawsuits as well as delays with legal matters, immigration, or transportation).
You tend to set yourself up for being caught if you do anything illegal! Achievements as well as delays in education.
Excellent for trade/professional courses to strengthen your foundations or for higher education and post-graduate work where you actually apply the knowledge.
Be careful of major car accidents, getting tickets, or losing your license under this aspect. Major career opportunities in the next 2 years.
10 Peak of one’s career and period of the highest achievement.
Promotions and maximum rewards for all your previous efforts relating to your career and status in society.
Excellent for getting into own business or expanding an existing one.
However, this is also a testing period and you get only those rewards that you truly deserve rather than because of “luck”. Focus on taking more responsibilities and authority in your career rather than just money.
A major test of your ability to withstand public scrutiny so be careful of scandals.
11 During these 2 1/2 years, you will become more realistic in your goals by encountering temporary delays and setbacks in your future hopes prompting you to re-evaluate and set long-range plans.
You will start becoming more selective in your friendships and will start making more business rather than social contacts meeting those in authority and power.
Excellent for the renewal of old contacts and acquaintances.
12 Major tests of long-term health matters.
You will have to confront major health issues if you have been ignoring them, especially anything to do with skin, teeth, and bones e.g. kneecap problems, dental or gum-related surgeries, and arthritis.
Usually, a time when you finish off many of the projects you have already started and prepare to consolidate your past achievements.
Excellent time for research and institutional work.
