dos and don'ts - Saturn placements

(Painting by Edward Hopper)

In this post I talk about what I think is essential for Saturn placements to make your life better or, at least, less troubled.

Saturn is a planet of control, rigidity, and the area where Saturn touches in your natal chart tend to be lived with limitations, whether these limitations are brought up by situations in your life or by your own attitudes. With a more restricted approach and aiming for control, the natives may believe that they are being mature and wise, when in reality they are preventing themselves from fully living that area of ​​life, which they are practicing extreme control.

In summary, regardless of the position: don’t listen to the rigid internal demands of Saturn, because sometimes what is masked as maturity and rigidity in the background ends up manifesting itself as immaturity. This will become clearer as I explain placements.

Saturn in Aries / Saturn in the 1st house: don’t be defensive, don’t take everything personally when it comes to someone talking about your personality. Take care of a tendency to impose yourself for fear of appearing aggressive. Try to distribute your energies in the right way for your projects. Don’t compare yourself to others. Don’t feel inferior. Don’t be afraid to start something. Don’t doubt your potential. Don’t be afraid to jump into new things. Don’t be afraid to say what needs to be said. Don’t depend on others. Don’t put yourself down. See your potential. Try to continue the projects you started. Take care of your self-esteem. Take care of your temper. The fear of appearing weak can, paradoxically, make you very aggressive or domineering. Don’t make thoughtless and reckless decisions, seek to put energy out. Try to develop your personality, identity and seek to know yourself. Self-knowledge can be the key to becoming more mature.

Saturn in Taurus / Saturn in the 2nd house: don’t allow the fear of not being safe to keep you in negative situations for longer than usual. Don’t be self-indulgent. Don’t deny pleasures and love to yourself. Don’t let the fear of not having money and material goods make you deny yourself the least. At the same time, learn to take care of your financial matters in a balanced way. Don’t let insecurities affect your sense of finding yourself in the world. Don’t let your fears and insecurities limit your experiences. The fear of loss can ultimately stop you from achieving things. Try to develop your sense of self-worth and self-importance. Be open to change. Don’t stick to the same lifestyle forever. Beware of inactivity, lack of action, and an exaggerated search for comfort.

Saturn in Gemini / Saturn in the 3rd house: don’t think about everything so much that it paralyzes you from acting. Note if there are any insecurities regarding your knowledge or ability to be intelligent. Try not to reduce your own mental capacity believing that you aren’t good at some area. Don’t limit your ability to learn. Beware of anxiety. Don’t doubt yourself on a mental level. Don’t keep revisiting everything you said. Believe more in your potential to learn. Trust more in your ability to inform and express your thoughts well. Yes, you have the capacity to occupy intellectual spaces, to develop your mental side and to learn. Why not?

Saturn in Cancer / Saturn in the 4th house: avoid emotionally distancing yourself from others for fear of being vulnerable. Beware of an emotional closure that gives the impression that everything is fine, when in reality you mask your internal and fragile feelings all the time. Don’t be afraid to be fragile. Accept full emotional experiences, not half. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. Don’t be afraid to connect emotionally with people. Develop your emotional side, connect with yourself in that sense. Don’t be orthodox-minded or too fixed on family or emotional matters. Don’t be emotionally defensive. Don’t be afraid to share intimacy and deeper emotions. Don’t sabotage your emotional life, forcing yourself to shut up in the face of annoyance. Don’t act like a person who denies the process of your own emotions. When you live on the inside in an exaggerated way, especially when you already tend to be emotionally defensive, you can have a very sensitive view of life, believing that the people around you always have something against you and they are trying to hurt you. If you act in such a way, your image can become externally rigid, controlled, and closed, but internally very sensitive, insecure, and defensive. Beware of the paradox: emotional “"detachment”“ versus emotional dependence.

Saturn in Leo / Saturn in the 5th house: Like Saturn in Cancer, this placement brings defensiveness. But this defensiveness has to do with the ego, with the person’s view of her/himself. Leo is a sign that relates to self-awareness, to the people’s conceptions of themselves. Leo rules the 5th house, the one that relates to the self that is already being formed after going through the primary notions of who you want to be and how you will show yourself to others (1st house). Here we have an individuality that wants to express itself more intensely. And that is exactly what Saturn touches and affects. Saturn in Leo or in the 5th house brings problems with the people’s sense of what they must demonstrate. People with this placement may fail to see the content of their ego, the good things may get blurred from their vision, as they tend to take a more critical, harsh, and rigid view of who they have been. But is not only that. Saturn in Leo and in the 5th house negatively contributes to the person showing her/himself to the world as someone closed, someone that doesn’t feel good about telling the world who he/she is. This person restricts various experiences in which it is naturally required and expects her/him to demonstrate talents and personality traits. With that in mind, try your best to observe when you are acting in a way that limitsexperiences that could contribute to 1) showing your characteristics to the world; 2) allow you to develop your skills and see your own potentials. Another area affected is love, fun, leisure, the inner "child” that exists within all of us, and that needs to be brought out from time to time. Allow your inner child to be nourished in a healthy and natural way, precisely to prevent such inner needs (which we all have) from coming to the surface in the form of defensiveness, jealousy, envy, comparison, low self-esteem. Express what you feel without always putting a label on what you feel and want to do. Know more about who you are. When we don’t dominate ourselves and don’t say who we are, we can become prone to being defined by others. Be open to love and to be loved. Question inner ideas about your “unlovability”. Learn to relax. Review rigid and very critical views about your own personality. Allow yourself to be an extroverted person, occupy spaces, express yourself and be happy. Don’t sabotage your own happiness. Don’t accept little things when you deserve more. Create a healthy sense of self that is integrated with who you really are - and less based on experiences or external voices.

Saturn in Virgo / Saturn in the 6th house: the 6th house is related to duties, organization, sense of usefulness, mind, health, hygiene, it is the first house in the zodiacal order dealing with the practical and earthly issues that surround our life. Saturn in Virgo or in the 6th house represents a great rigidity in relation to routine, organization. The natives naturally tend to have a boss within them demanding that they do things here and there. Because of this, demands can make them feel criticized, undervalued, as if people don’t see their efforts. Even if the efforts don’t always become concrete because another Saturn in Virgo/Saturn in the 6th house is the person’s tendency to plan too much, be so organized and do everything right in their mind, but sometimes fail to put this into practice. Optimize your time. See if all your mental practicality has been put into practice, if your desires for practicality have been used in something. Beware of over duties. Let people solve their own problems. Observe if you are not putting aside your progress and focusing only on your faults and “mistakes”. Pay attention not to be defensive when someone demands something of you. Reevaluate your process of effectively planning a task, see if you’re not being so detailed and demanding that you can’t express your intentions. Take care of the feeling of not being good in a certain area you are studying. Don’t neglect your health, even if you are one of the most concerned about it on an internal level. Be careful, pay close attention to a tendency to push yourself too hard: not get something done and then live a day/week with a mark of “I didn’t do it the way I should have”. Review your concepts about yourself, about what your productivity needs to be.

Saturn in Libra / Saturn in the 7th house: This placement brings a person’s need for a more serious and responsible approach to love. This doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone with this placement will deal with love in this way, as this depends on the rest of the chart. But this is a trend. The native with this placement should avoid being afraid of relationships because of insecurities or fear of opening. And when I mention relationships, I don’t speak exclusively of the loving ones. People with this placement tend to be observant in the sense that they are watching others relate and closing themselves off to experience the same in their own lives. Avoid sabotaging your love life for fear of opening. Build your self-confidence, your potential to relate and interact with others. Find a balance between giving and receiving. Accept that you too deserve to receive love, affection, and attention. Learn to say no. Don’t be a person who gives too much to others and doesn’t know how to select who, when and how much to give, and ends up feeling undervalued. Avoid doubting your ability to relate and be helpful. Don’t deny your needs. Don’t be afraid of situations that involve relationships and interacting with people (including someone new, an acquaintance). Build your self-esteem. Be careful not to look for a social pattern to fit in. Don’t live wanting to please others, try to meet your self, seek to know yourself. Don’t take criticism personally.

Saturn in Scorpio / Saturn in the 8th house: don’t be afraid to be intimate with others. Avoid blocking access to your own deepest mind and deepest part of your personality. Don’t deny your potentials to yourself. Don’t have a closed and conservative mind for mystical and intense subjects, taboo. Beware of the tendency to run away from denser aspects of your personality, and to live with a more practical, Saturnian approach to almost everything. Don’t try to control people or your own deepest feelings. Don’t doubt your contact with spirituality. Develop a natural sense of worth and belonging. Don’t live the frustrations only in an internal way, externalize more, or at least try to work with such feelings. Beware of an excess of introspection and living in your inner world, this can create a worldview that in some situations can bring to your mind visions that are too different from what things really are. Channel your inner energies, feelings, and frustrations. Don’t hide these feelings from yourself. Admit your need for vulnerability. Don’t hide feelings that may seem irrational. Take care of your mental and emotional health.

Saturn in Sagittarius / Saturn in the 9th house: don’t close yourself off to new, dense matters that seem to challenge your mind and what you have known so far. Accept contact with the unknown. Avoid having a constantly closed mind to what is new and different. Avoid fanaticism. Don’t doubt your own ability to learn deep and dense things. Don’t feel incapable to higher education. Accept your place in the world as an individual who is part of something bigger. Beware of a fear of not feeling belonging, and precisely for this reason, seek fixed philosophies and lifestyles that bring some kind of comfort to this fear. Our life philosophies, beliefs and thoughts also need improvement from time to time. Be careful not to have a very rigid belief system. Avoid retrograde thoughts. Try to have optimism, be more optimistic about life, about situations that involve opportunities. Be less serious and immensely responsible with everything. Try to let life take care of it - when possible. Don’t avoid jumping into situations, having fun and relaxing, living new experiences.

Saturn in Capricorn / Saturn in the 10th house: With this placement, all defense mechanisms become even stronger. That’s because Saturn restricts things and situations, and Capricorn has the characteristics of Saturn at its core. Saturn in Capricorn can be read in many ways, but regarding the “don'ts”, I can say the following things. Don’t always be controlling, be it with your material life, with your emotions and even other situations in your life. Learn to try, from time to time, to deal with the unexpected, the unpredictable. Not everything needs to be deeply planned or organized, including when it comes to your career. Don’t see others and yourself as someone who needs to achieve something in life to necessarily have value or status. We all have our worth, and a career can be seen as a way of extendingthat, not the only way to become worthy in the world. Watch out for a tendency to be very controlled by your own fears of lack of stability, ending up making decisions that in the future mean something that doesn’t bring personal satisfaction - even if it brings comfort, such as social or material. Don’t take responsibility for everything. Don’t create defense and control mechanisms for all situations that involve the possibility of instability and unpredictability.

Saturn in Aquarius / Saturn in the 11th house: don’t have so many blocks to new friendships and exchanges. Try to join others from time to time too. Don’t feel so alone or isolated in the world, even if you sometimes seem misunderstood by friendships. Don’t feel that this is an area that is fated to fail. Try to get closer to others too, don’t be afraid to see relationships gaining closeness. You may have an insecurity about being accepted and being a part of something. Don’t get to the point of reaching one of the extremes of this placement, whether it’s being extremely distant from friendships for fear of being disappointed, or constantly putting yourself in uncomfortable situations, opening yourself up to people you can’t trust, just to feel that you belong and that you have friends (from my observation, the latter case is rarer, but I could be wrong). Try to interact with other people even if it doesn’t mean becoming their friend. It’s okay not to be friends with everyone, and I know how you value trust, and how friendship is built. However, this way of working can’t make you stay in the same friendships forever, never looking for new people and exchanges, nor can it make you accept friendships and group interactions that conflict with your needs and who you are. Try to get out of your comfort zone from time to time by seeking out new social situations. Be careful that your fear of having your trust betrayed doesn’t make you have extreme behaviors in some situations. Allow yourself to dream, develop your intuition.

Saturn in Pisces / Saturn in the 12th house: there’s something I said to the natives of Saturn in Scorpio, which I’ll mention here: take care of your mental and emotional health. first because Pisces and 12th house has everything to do with it, and second that the dynamics of Saturn in this sign and house tends to be more restricted, Saturn restricts the experiences or ability to experience deeper situations, sensitivity, empathy (including for oneself), and this lack of contact with oneself can make it difficult to recognize internal problems, discomfort, sadness, and, consequently, the person becomes alienated from him/herself. Don’t be so vulnerable about showing your vulnerability. Connect more with others in the external sense, externalize your feelings, your frustrations, your fears. Don’t be so sure that living within yourself is the way out of dealing with the complexity of this placement. Connect with your inner self, get to know your personality. Look for ways to deal with your problems. Don’t feed an inner voice that says you can’t expose your weaknesses. Recognize that you tend to have contact with the immaterial things in life and stop blocking your access to that. BEWARE of unhealthy relief valves. Watch out for a tendency to feel alone, misunderstood, but not look for ways to deal with it. People can understand you, opening to the right person can help. Beware of excess melancholy and a duality of melancholy x emotional restriction. There is no way to deal with your emotional and internal issues while you remain closed to yourself.
