Wherever you are in your astrological journey, you've most likely ran into the harsh, daunting, and domineering descriptions of Saturn. While you should maintain these ideas/themes, I do want to emphasize how extraordinary this planet really is, and can be, from each house/sign placement.

Think of Saturn as the amalgamation of "order". It is what makes things concrete; real. For instance, Frankenstein's monster needed a spark of life (Sun/Mars/Uranus), but without the body (Saturn) it would have been impossible to try and conjure up "life" w/o the vessel. Saturn is the manual, the bikes' pedals, the swimmers' pool. It gives us purpose. Saturn brings solemnity to each of our lives, which benefits the energies throughout the entire chart (natal, progressed, composite, etc.)

So, while it is still the teacher/our karma, it is also the reason for tangible manifestation. However, for it to really work for you, you have to work at it.

These examples pertain to your natal chart:

• Saturn in Aries or (the 1st): Lesson: Patience. To establish the energy/life force that you'll emit - one that can work and is unique to you. Gift: True grit. Moxie. Naturally acclimating the energy that's most needed for you in all your endeavors; blocking out negative and or unnecessary energies.

• Saturn in Taurus or (the 2nd): Lesson: Working with what you are given; appreciation for who you already are and what you already have. Gift: Humility and resilience. Grace in even the most difficult of circumstances, good material instincts/investments, and an enduring inner security. Plus, this is a "good taste" placement.

• Saturn in Gemini or (the 3rd): Lesson: Deciphering the more beneficial priorities in your life from the more "distracting" ones. Also, not using ignorance as a crutch. Gift: Profound mental retention (at least, a knack for keen navigation of your resourses). Your input is sought out. You could be quite the dabbler...

• Saturn in Cancer or (the 4th): Lesson: Your work is more of a hunt, within your foundation. Finding your inner comfort through life's constant changes & unpredictability. Finding the constant. Gift: Always knowing, for yourself, that you belong. And that you always have... (Also, this placement is known to be gifted in meditation).

• Saturn in Leo or (the 5th): Lesson: Mastery of expression. Making something for yourself and being proud of it. Impressing yourself. Gift: Genuine, hard-earned fulfillment. Your harshest critic acknowledging, praising, and respecting you/your efforts. It was all worth it.

• Saturn in Virgo or (the 6th): Lesson: Being able to rely on yourself. Being your own "squeaky wheel", advocate, nurse, therapist, etc. Taking care of yourself. Internalizing the mantra "my body is my temple". Gift: The peace of mind you've always wanted. Knowing you'll instinctually catch yourself in your own metaphorical "trust fall".

• Saturn in Libra or (the 7th): Lesson: Restoring balance where you see fit. Understanding that your karma is deeply embedded in your intimate associations. Understanding that we teach people how to treat us. Gift: The right company. Trusting your judgement. Loyalty.

• Saturn in Scorpio or (the 8th): Lesson: Holding yourself accountable. Recognizing the significance of authority in its many forms. Gift: Actual power, not just perceived. Exercising control within in turn gives you more freedom from its restraint. Finally being taken seriously.

• Saturn in Sagittarius or (the 9th): Lesson: Stay the course. Wander, but have something to show for it in the end. Take your time, really study your material... there's a lot. A very wise placement, however, somethings we all must do by the book. Gift: True enlightenment. A weight lifted. A breath of fresh air. Boisterous laughter. You did it. Now, go brag about it!

• Saturn in Capricorn or (the 10th): Lesson: Your life will be colored in Saturn's opaque hues, at first. Clockwork. Routine. Aspirations. Trust it. Gift: In time, when you've fixated and concentrated on it enough, it'll become much clearer. You'll be able to appreciate the masterpiece of life Saturn has given you. You'll be a true master, by nature.

• Saturn in Aquarius or (the 11th): Lesson: Exercise understanding. You, more than most, are looked up to. Practice compassion and understanding, even in the face of adversity. Gift: Ease and respect from your community. Shaping and changing minds. People will be more open and accepting of you once they've seen that you are really just like them.

• Saturn in Pisces or (the 12th): Lesson: Trust in the universe. Don't get too caught up in others philosophies. Don't be discouraged, you are a light. Find what works for you. Gift: Comfort in the lack of answers. Wisdom that ultimately, we will all be okay & not to sweat the small stuff. Your outlets can manifest higher consciousness/Source.
