Saturn in the Natal Chart
Saturn's placement shows where you face your greatest tests and build your most lasting achievements. Saturn in the 10th house demands career accountability; Saturn in the 7th tests relationships. Its lessons are hard but the rewards are permanent.
Saturn Transits
Saturn spends 2.5 years in each sign. Saturn returns (at approximately 29, 58, and 87 years old) are the great life restructuring transits. Saturn conjunct personal planets brings discipline, delays, and ultimately, mastery.
