In Astrology, the planet Saturn shows us where we face the biggest challenges and obstacles in life. While its sign placement in an astrological birth chart reveals a more specific set of blockages, present day transits of Saturn bring about certain themes that are widespread, experienced by all. The energy of Saturn comes through as a taskmaster telling us where we need to be more disciplined at building firmer foundations that sustain the essence of our core being. Saturn teaches us difficult lessons about reality that can cause serious limitations – though nevertheless, are necessary for our evolution. As the ruler of Capricorn, Saturn is concerned with order and strategy, laying the framework to construct a master plan, one that is practical and long lasting. Suffice it to say, without Saturn, nothing in our lives would ever stick or become permanent.
