The Meaning of the Saturn Transit

Saturn Transits, a Troubling Time: Saturn transits are some of the most worrisome and transformative of all, with many understandably fearful of the changes that will inevitably manifest during such times.

According to most professional Astrologers, a Saturn transit tends to bring all sorts of calamities in its wake, depending on the aspects it makes in one's natal (birth) chart. Another thing to consider is the Astrological House Saturn occupies at any given time.
Despite the common opinion regarding Saturn's negative influence in the Chart, it has much to teach depending on the lessons needed to be learned by the individual.

Qabalah & Saturn: Qabalistically, Saturn refers to the idea of Binah (Understanding), and is a restrictive influence. As such, Saturn forces us to slow down, and pay attention to Karmic patterns that have shaped who we are as individuals. If you don't like where you're at in life -- no doubt, Saturn will force you to face the truth.

Saturn & Transformation: The result is that you will either take the opportunity to transform -- becoming the person you desire to be, or you will continue to avoid making the necessary changes, and find yourself at a most unpleasant place in your life, most likely stuck there. That is -- until you realize that nothing will ever change until you decide to take responsibility for your decisions.

Lessons of a Saturn Transit: Saturn also forces us to become disciplined, and more responsible -- whether or not we like it. As they say, "No pain, no gain." That seems to be the motto of Saturn, no matter what Sign, or Astrological House it occupies.

Ultimately, Saturn tends to force situations to their final culmination. Once you've come through a complete Saturn transit and enacted the necessary changes, no doubt you'll feel proud of the person you've become -- if you welcome the transformation and do the required work.

Whatever you're doing wrong ... Saturn will come over and give you an obvious kick in the pants. This is not meant to be a time of punishment, but a time of standing back, taking stock of your life and seeing just what is working, and what is NOT working.

Effects of a Saturn Transit on Relationships: Depending on what House or Sign Saturn is transiting through, you may lose people from your life -- sometimes through breakups, or by simply outgrowing old relationships. Of course, the most extreme aspects can have people leaving your life through the physical act of passing from the Earth plane.

Prepare For Your Saturn Transit: The best thing is to prepare yourself by finding out where Saturn will be heading in the next 2-1/2 years. Therefore, when you know Saturn will be going through your Second House, you'll need to get prepared for transformations regarding your Finances.

Below, is some helpful information that will help you to understand Saturn's influence on your life.


SATURN THROUGH THE 12 HOUSES OF THE ZODIAC:
Saturn in Your Chart

(Note: You may notice the following traits in others as well.)

Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 1st House:

Saturn Transiting
1st House

Rules:

Self
Marked by Ascendant.
Self Awareness
Self Discovery
Persona
The Behavior Temperament Appearance
Ego
Physical Self
Identity
Being

Positive Effect: This transit starts with Saturn passing over your Ascendant, and it marks the start of a new cycle in your life.

During the next 14 years, or so, you have to concentrate more on taking care of internal matters rather than focusing on what’s going on out there with everyone else.

The 1st House is You, your personality and how you approach things. When Saturn moves here, you have a chance to figure out not just who you are, but who you want to be.

Negative Effect: If you get depressed during this transit, it is most likely an indication that some of the basic routines of your life are faulty and need to be changed. 

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 2nd House:

Saturn Transiting
2nd House

Rules:

Possessions
Personal Resources
Values 
Skills
Possessions
M ateriality
Security
Gains
Losses
Finances
House or property
Financial matters

Positive Effect: Saturn rules Capricorn, the sign of ambition, and, when Saturn comes around, it is frequently the time to take the next step up. Even if you are rich, you will feel this effect.

After all, the 2nd House rules more than money and possessions. It shows the Value you place on things.

You may develop the necessary discipline to watch your finances, and start getting ahead.

Negative Effect: Watch your money and possessions. Income is more likely to dip during this transit. Or, expenses increase. Either way, you will have less. Your desires increase, so even if you have enough, it suddenly seems like you don’t.

When Saturn transits here, you may find that those material possessions you worked so hard for don’t give you a thrill any more. Ok, you got them. What do you do now? This could be the time to search for new goals and values.  Any way you look at it, when Saturn comes around you’ve got to do some extra work.

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 3rd House:

Saturn Transiting
3rd House

Rules:

Communications
Siblings
Communication
Mental Activity
Learning
Immediate environment
Mental aptitudes
Early childhood
Siblings
Short journeys
Early education

Positive Effect: This is also the house of Communication. You speech will tend to become more serious when Saturn transits your 3rd House. So will your thoughts.

You can find it easier to concentrate on positive steps to take. This is a good time to learn a new skill, something that will be useful or practical. As always with a Saturn transit, look ahead and see what is coming. Then try to take preventive measures before it hits.

Negative Effect: Saturn in the 3rd House can mean extra difficulties and problems through siblings and neighbors. If there are any old problems that have been simmering for years, they will tend to come to a head at this time.

This could happen in several ways. Maybe they need you to help. Or you could need their help, and, for whatever reason, they can’t provide it. Or they put you through hell for asking. This is also the house of communication. You speech will tend to become more serious when Saturn transits your 3rd House. So will your thoughts.

Take care, though, of that negative side of Saturn, depression.

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 4th House:

Saturn Transiting
4th House

Rules:

Home & Roots
Home & Hearth
Inner World
Inner security
Domestic affairs
Family life
Parental influence
The past
Childhood
Private thoughts
Nurturing
Social Houses

Positive Effect: Like all Saturn transits, not always a bad thing. This transit tends to bring changes in the home. Some people finally get the courage and wherewithal to move (even out of their parents' homes ;)

Saturn crossing over the bottom of your horoscope can also start your life in a new direction, usually upward.

According to Grant Lewi, this is the best time to begin a rise in life, to start a long climb that will reach a peak in about 14 years.

Yes, that is the tendency, but remember that there are other planets up there that can either reinforce this or interfere with it. Never make a forecast based on the transits of one planet alone.

Most astrologers have had bad experiences trying to do that. The 4th House also rules one parent, usually the father. Pay attention to events and thoughts that transpire regarding that parent during this transit, as much can be learned.

Negative Effect: The 4th House also rules one parent, usually the father. If there are any problems with this parent, particularly problems that have been swept under the rug, they will tend to surface during this transit.

This is the transit that can make you suddenly remember how angry you were that they didn’t give you a tricycle for your 3rd birthday. When Saturn is exactly at the bottom of your horoscope, it will be making an opposition aspect to the top, the Mid-Heaven. During that time, your career, “public image”, and relationship with “the boss” will be affected as well.

For the details, see the section on Saturn Transits in Aspect to Your Mid-Heaven (10th House).
 

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 5th House:

Saturn Transiting
5th House

Rules:

Creativity
Children
Love affairs
Procreation
Luck and speculation
Romance
Enthusiasm
Motivation
Games
Feel special
Fun, Excitement
Gambling

Positive Effect: This is the house of Love, Romance, Creativity, Children and Chance. No, it does not mean that your are going to be celibate for the next two years (well, not always).

In fact, during this transit, it is possible to have a really deep, significant love affair. But you are less likely to have light, breezy affairs and one night stands.

Saturn transits tend to coincide with things that are deep and serious. Frequently, you reach a turning point in relationships. Get married or break up. Saturn transits are not good for leaving things up in the air.

Of course you have to take this in context. Saturn going through the 5th House of a child will not cause trouble with love affairs (at least, I hope not). But it could mean trouble with fun and games. They could be more likely to loose a favorite toy, for instance. You never can tell, however.

When this transit happens during childhood, it can lead to serious cases of "puppy love", which will be remembered for years. Although, it's much more beneficial to have this transit when you're an adult, and can actually "something" about it.

Saturn transits will either coincide with times when you have to give up an activity in these areas (you’re 95 years old; time to give up professional football) or an increase in ambition and discipline.

Serious about jogging or doing creative work? Put yourself on a schedule and practice, practice, practice. Time for ambition and discipline.

Negative Effect: When this transit happens during childhood, it can lead to serious cases of "puppy love", which will be remembered for years. Although, it's much more beneficial to have this transit when you're an adult, and can actually "something" about it.

Saturn, whereever it's place, can likely to bring depression and in the 5th House, it will cause concern in the areas of creativity, sports, and games.

Saturn transits will either coincide with times when you have to give up an activity in these areas (you’re 95 years old; time to give up professional football) or an increase in ambition and discipline.

If you have young children --- well, there are always problems, aren’t there? There just seem to be more of them when Saturn transits your 5th House. The kids are grown? There are still problems now. Maybe they want to move back. Maybe they move far away and you miss them. Saturn always means some sort of challenge and an obstacle to be overcome.

 

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 6th House:

Saturn Transiting
6th House

Rules:

Service & Health
Daily Life
Health
Work and job 
Self Improvement
Employer/Employees
Routine
Hygiene
Hard work
Service to others
Material learning
Habit patterns
Pets
Food and Diet
Analyzation

Positive Effect: This is the house of work and health. No, it will not necessarily make you lose your job or get sick. Well, not usually.

Remember that Saturn transits bring problems to the surface. This should be viewed as an opportunity to solve them.

Update your resume and start searching for more meaningful work, if you're tired of your job. If you’re self employed, a Saturn transit through your 6th House means that you may be reaching a make-or-break point.

Negative Effect: This is the house of work and health. So you may have problems or symptoms -- whatever they are, take care of them as they arise. Better safe than sorry.

Maybe your day job will seem more of a drag than usual now. Perhaps it’s not right for you any more and it’s time to move on.

Either your business is going to make it in the next 2 years or so, or you will have to close up shop and work for someone else. If you are an employer, you will probably have more concerns about your employees when Saturn hits.

There is more likely to be trouble with them at this time. Either they quit or die or retire, or they just aren’t working as hard as they used to.

The first thing to do is check how you’re treating them. It just might be that you are at fault here. Saturn means that the same old way of doing business isn’t going to cut it any more.

As far as health is concerned, I am not a doctor -- still, it’s seldom a bad idea to get an extra check-up or two during the years that Saturn transits your 6th House.

Saturn rules everything that takes a long time to develop. A check-up can help to catch developing ailments before they become severe.

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 7th House:

Saturn Transiting
7th House

Rules:

Marriage
Partnerships
Relationships
Marriage Partner
Business Partners
Contracts
Joint Endeavors
Significant Others
Social Concerns
Attitudes of intimacy
Friends & Public

Positive Effect: This is the house of marriage and partnership. Your relationships will definitely be tested during this transit, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Saturn transits tend to bring things to a head.  So, never put off decisions during a Saturn transit. Do not just let things just "happen". That would be like telling Saturn to make the decisions for you. You may not like the result.  

On the positive side, Saturn entering your 7th House means that it is starting to transit the top half of your horoscope. That’s when you begin to get  rewards for your work of the previous seven to fourteen years.

Unless some other transit or progression interferes, this is the start of  a new phase of your life. You will tend to be more concerned with career and “external” matters, less concerned with purely personal and “internal” things.

The 7th House rules any relationship where you approach the other person as an equal.

Saturn transiting the 7th House makes you suddenly noticeable and the success that this transit tends to bring attracts jealousy. Be prepared to guard your rear.

Negative Effect: This is the house of marriage and partnership. While Saturn passes through here, is can also be the house of divorce. But only if the relationship is on the rocks to begin with.

Again, don't put important decisions during a Saturn transit, otherwise you may not like the result.  

You may be facing more opposition at this time. Remember, the 7th House rules open enemies as well as marriage and partnership. It rules any relationship where you approach the other person as an equal.

Saturn transiting the 7th House makes you suddenly noticeable and the success that this transit tends to bring attracts jealousy. Be prepared to guard your rear.

One reason marriages are under greater stress when Saturn goes through this house is that the partner becomes envious of your success. You may have to make an extra effort to soothe their ego. Or, if you think that it’s disgusting for them to be so petty, dump them. 

 

 
Meaning of the Moon Transiting the 8th House:

Saturn Transiting
8th House

Rules:

Death & Rebirth
Sharing
Letting go
Shared resources
Self-Mastery
Life/Death attitude
Possessions
Sex/Regeneration
Wills & Legacies
House of Change
The Esoteric

Positive Effect: Less sex and more taxes. Well, not necessarily.

Sex may simply become more important to you. If you previously did a lot of one night stands, they may seem empty now. You are more likely to want something deeper.

Saturn going through your 8th House doesn’t have to indicate anything world shaking. It could be that you suddenly feel the need for more control in sex and you start reading books on the subject. Ok. But please note, you can’t learn everything from books.

Don’t wait for Saturn to hit you before taking action. Look ahead. See where it is going to be. Then make plans long before it gets there.

Negative Effect: Any sexual dysfunctions, they will tend to flare up during this Saturn transit, and you will be forced to deal with them. Remember that Saturn doesn’t cause trouble. All it does is bring it to the surface.

If you inherit any money or possessions at this time, there will tend to be extra difficulties. Maybe someone disputes the will and there is a legal battle. Or the property you inherit is difficult to deal with in some way.

For instance, it may be a house that you can’t sell easily and the taxes are coming due. The 8th House rules other people’s money in general.

If you need a line of credit, it could be more difficult to get it at this time.

Don’t wait for Saturn to hit you before taking action. Look ahead. See where it is going to be. Then make plans long before it gets there.

Saturn transiting your 2nd House can affect your money. Saturn moving through your 8th House can affect partner’s money. Your partner’s income may drop and that can still affect you. As  always with Saturn, make plans before it hits you.
