Lesson 1: Saturn in Aquarius: March - July 2020, December 2020 -
March 2023
Entrance: Saturn enters Aquarius on March 21st 2020 at 11:48PM
ET/8:48PM PT. Saturn stays in Aquarius until July 1st (7:36PM
ET/4:36PM PT) and comes back to Aquarius December 17th 2020
(12:03AM ET/December 16th 9:03PM PT), where it stays until March 7th
2023 (9:34AM ET/6:34AM PT).
Saturn has been in Capricorn, the sign it naturally rules, and Aquarius is a
pretty different sign from Capricorn. Capricorn rules the traditional, the
status quo, and is practical, while Aquarius rules the unconventional,
change, and individuality. Coming out of the major Capricorn stellium of
2020, we’ve likely spent a lot of time planning, carefully working toward
goals, and thinking about our lives long-term. This hopefully sets us up
for Saturn in Aquarius, and we can start focusing on the future and what
we hope to have and be.
There is likely going to be some major changes with Saturn in Aquarius,
which is focused on the areas of life ruled by the house(s) Saturn in
Aquarius tours for you. These are changes that need to be made in
order to move forward and push outside of your comfort zone. In
Saturn’s way, we have to do things right though, and not give in to
impulse too much.
4 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
We’re likely going to crave a lot more independence and focus more on
individuality. Boxing yourself in isn’t so great! Playing by the rules in the
way with Capricorn, but Aquarius wants us to be true to our unique
selves, and that may mean bending, breaking, rewriting the rules. As
long as it’s not just rebellion for rebellion’s sake, this can be a good
thing. Again, you’ll find this impacts you most with the areas of life ruled
by the house(s) Saturn in Aquarius tours in your natal chart.
If you haven’t been true to yourself lately, this transit can kick you to
change that. The more untrue you’ve been to yourself, the harder it can
be. If there’s a change you’ve been avoiding making that you really
should make, this transit can force challenges that push you to do it. If
you’ve been keeping to the rules too much, this transit can force your
mind open to think outside of the box.
Aquarius rules your dreams for the future, and Saturn is the planet of
reality, so this combo wants to take dreams (Aquarius) and make them
real (Saturn). This is an excellent time to take a dream you’ve had and
actually do something with it. Ideally, you set the goal while Saturn’s in
Capricorn so you can go into Saturn in Aquarius ready to make a big
push, but even if you wait until Saturn is in Aquarius, it’s still not too late.
Some may feel that they have to squash their dreams, that they’re not
realistic at all, while Saturn is in Aquarius, but this may actually be a test.
Pass and it becomes real, fail and it doesn’t. Stand true to yourself and a
positive vision.

The main keywords to focus on are:
- Change
- Dreams
- Independence
- Individuality
- The unconventional

Lesson 2: Important Times During Saturn in Aquarius
Saturn Retrograde:
Saturn retrograde can be a time when we feel extra restricted, extra
limited, and have extra responsibilities. We’re more aware of what we
have to do, and the lessons we have to learn. There is often a feeling of
karmic at play, and some of what we deal with may be sorting through
and letting go of karmic baggage while Saturn is retrograde. This frees
us up to make more progress once the retrograde ends.
In Aquarius, this may mean we’re dealing with karmic issues related to
independence, individuality, change, the future, our hopes and dreams,
our place in the world, and our perspective.
The Saturn retrograde in Aquarius periods are:
- May 23rd 2021 (5:19AM ET/2:19AM PT) @ 13 degrees 31 minutes
Aquarius to October 10th 2021 (10:17PM ET/7:17PM PT) @ 6
degrees 53 minutes Aquarius
- June 4th 2022 (5:47PM ET/2:47PM PT) @ 25 degrees 15 minutes
Aquarius to October 23rd 2022 (12:07AM ET/October 22nd 9:07PM
PT) @ 18 degrees 35 minutes Aquarius
Saturn in Aquarius Aspects to Transit Planets:
7 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Saturn in Aquarius is light on transit aspects to the other major planets
(Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), only making 2 major aspects. The first
is a conjunction (alignment) with transit Jupiter early in this tour on
Aquarius, on December 21st 2020 (1:21PM ET/10:21AM PT) at 0 degrees
29 minutes Aquarius. They move into Aquarius around the same time,
with Saturn entering December 17th 2020 and Jupiter entering
December 19th 2020, and come together quickly.
This feels like a massive push to focus on dreams, change, the future,
individuality, and independence. We’re right out of the Capricorn
stellium and get this big Aquarius bang immediately! Think about your
future, your hopes and dreams, and be true to yourself no matter what.
This is likely going to be felt in the areas of life ruled by the house 0
degrees Aquarius falls for you in your natal chart. It’ll be stronger for you
if it aspects any of your planets or angles. The aspects are:
Conjunction: 0 - 2 degrees Aquarius (super for you! Extra crazy focus on
whatever if being conjuncted, definitely focus on trying to do something
with whatever it rules)
Semisextile: 0 - 1 degree Capricorn or Pisces (semisextiles are positive
aspects but not as strong as the others; you can make use of positive
energy with a lot of effort)
Sextile: 0 - 2 degrees Aries or Sagittarius (beneficial aspect;
opportunities can be presented to you that you can pursue with greater
ease)
8 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Square: 0 - 2 degrees Taurus or Scorpio (challenging aspect; you may
feel difficulties arise that you need to conquer first before you can make
anything positive happen)
Trine: 0 - 2 degrees Gemini or Libra (beneficial aspect; opportunities and
success comes more easily, though there can be some laziness that has
to be managed)
Quincunx: 0 - 1 degree Cancer or Virgo (quincunxes are challenging
aspects of erratic energy, and you may have to adjust to developments)
Opposition: 0 - 2 degrees Leo (challenging aspect; something outside of
yourself may be pushing against you and flexibility may be required)
The other aspect Saturn in Aquarius makes is a square to transit Uranus
in Taurus. This aspect can challenge us as we’re moving toward the
changes, independence and individuality, and there may be lessons that
we have to learn from developments, or lessons we have to learn first
before we can make what we want happen. This can stir up frustration
and impulse, but giving in to that should be avoided, otherwise more
problems pop up. Focus on the lessons and work through blocks. You’ll
feel this hardest if you have planets or points at 6 - 14 degrees Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius.
This aspect is exact 3 times in 2021, so it’s essentially in effect for the
entire year. They are:
February 17th at 2:08PM ET/11:08AM PT @ 7 degrees 13 minutes
June 14th at 6:01PM ET/3:01PM PT @ 13 degrees 6 minutes
9 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
December 24th at 2:17AM ET/December 23rd at 11:19PM PT @ 11
degrees 5 minutes
Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius:
When Mercury retrogrades in the same sign as Saturn, this can make us
more aware of the challenges we’re dealing with from Saturn, and we
can feel the restrictions and limitations more clearly. Lessons become
more important, especially from a karmic perspective. The lessons we
learn while Mercury is retrograde in Saturn’s sign may be ones we have
to spiritually to let go of baggage and grow.
In Aquarius, this may be focused on our individuality and being true to
ourselves; how we hold ourselves back and box ourselves in; how we
view the world as a whole and look toward the future; how we find hope
and what we dream of; how we come together as one and see
connections with others; and how we exercise independence
responsibly.
Mercury retrogrades in Aquarius twice while Saturn is in Aquarius. They
are:
January 30th (10:52AM ET/7:52AM PT - February 20th (7:52PM
ET/4:52PM PT) 2021
Starts 26 degrees Aquarius; ends 11 degrees Aquarius (does not
conjunct Saturn at any point)
10 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
January 14th (6:41AM ET/3:41AM PT) - 25th (10:04PM ET/7:04PM PT)
2022
Starts 10 degrees Aquarius conjunct Saturn (13 degrees Aquarius)
Mercury retrogrades back to Capricorn on January 25th so is only
retrograde in Aquarius for 11 days, but starts conjunct so this may be
stronger
New and Full Moons in Aquarius:
When a new moon occurs in Saturn’s sign, this can offer opportunity to
make progress and find a way through limitations and responsibilities,
and manage them more easily. Conjunct Saturn, and this can be a time
of great heights. When a full moon occurs in Saturn’s sign, this can bring
culmination of hard work, setbacks with recklessness, and a deep
feeling of weight and baggage. Conjunct Saturn, and this can be a time
where we really get a good view of where we’re going, our direction, if
we’re doing things right, and a little karma.
While Saturn is in Aquarius, the new and full moons in Aquarius are:
New Moon: February 11th 2021 2:06PM ET/11:06AM PT @ 23 degrees 17
minutes Aquarius
- No aspect to Saturn (or any planets)
11 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Full Moon: July 23rd 2021 10:37PM ET/7:37PM PT @ 1 degree 26 minutes
Aquarius
- No aspect to Saturn (or any planets)
Full Moon: August 22nd 2021 8:02AM ET/5:02AM PT @ 29 degrees 37
minutes Aquarius
- No aspect to Saturn but widely conjunct Jupiter (amplifying and
expanding); this is also the anaretic degree, the last degree of a
sign and a point of crisis energy in transit, and it’s the second full
moon in a row in Aquarius, so energy is smoking hot for this full
moon!
New Moon: February 1st 2022 12:45AM ET/January 31st 2022 9:45PM PT
@ 12 degrees 20 minutes Aquarius
- Square transit Uranus and widely conjunct transit Saturn so that
aspect from 2021 may kick back up again in 2022 with the new and
full moons; we’re extra challenged with responsible changes and
unconventional goals
Full Moon: August 11th 2022 9:36PM ET/6:36PM PT @ 19 degrees 21
minutes Aquarius
- Square transit Uranus and conjunct transit Saturn so that aspect
pops up again
12 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
New Moon: January 21st 2023 3:54PM ET/12:54PM PT @ 1 degree 33
minutes Aquarius
- Widely sextile Jupiter in Aries, so at the end of the transit a little
beneficial, positive energy to take initiative
Transit Planets in Aquarius:
When the transit Sun is in Saturn’s sign, this shines a light on Saturn
energy: goals, lessons, responsibilities, limitations. When transit Mercury
is in Saturn’s sign (and not retrograde), this gives ideas and plans for
those goals, lessons, responsibilities, limitations. When transit Venus is
in Saturn’s sign, this brings an ease to Saturn’s energy; when transit Mars
is in Saturn’s sign, this gives super energy and drive to pursue and take
initiative with Saturn.

(11:05PM ET/8:05PM PT)
14 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
The biggest thing to focus on in terms of other planets in Aquarius is
Jupiter, who enters Aquarius just after Saturn on December 19th 2020
(8:07AM ET/5:07AM PT). Remember they conjunct early in Aquarius on
December 21st 2020. Jupiter hung around in Capricorn while Saturn was
at the end of its time in Capricorn, and they now ride together for the
start of Saturn’s time in Aquarius. It’s a big time for the future, for
change, for independence, for individuality, and for finding our place.
Jupiter helps expand on this energy and give more energy and
opportunity for it to set ourselves up for the rest of Saturn’s time in
Aquarius.
Jupiter in Aquarius periods:
December 19th 2020 (8:07AM ET/5:07AM PT) - May 13th 2021 (6:35PM
ET/3:35PM PT)
July 28th 2021 (8:42AM ET/5:42AM PT) - December 28th 2021 (11:09PM
ET/8:09PM PT)
And to note, Pluto moves into Aquarius just as Saturn exits (March 2023).
So Saturn in Aquarius might actually be setting us up for the many years
Pluto will be in Aquarius, transforming our dreams and future in
profound ways.

Lesson 3: Saturn in Aquarius in the Houses
1st House: This can bring extra focus to being independent and an
individual. You have to stay true to yourself, no matter what. You may
have more difficulty with outward connections with others, and can
maintain more casual connections for a time until you blocks are dealt
with. There may be more focus on your future, what you hope for
yourself, and you can work to take initiative with that. This may be a time
for building for the future.
2nd House: You may focus on trying to adhere to values that are more
true to who you are now. If you’ve been living according to values that
aren’t really you anymore, you may experience some challenges. The
values you focus on now may be different from what they’ve been in
the past. You can also make changes financially, working at being more
fiscally mindful but in different ways.
3rd House: Your outlook can become more practical, yet more focused
on the future and your dreams. You can see things long-term and work
on practical plans, or take unconventional approaches to your goals.
You may have to slowly think outside of the box and unleash your mind
from limiting restraints, but this can happen over time rather than all at
once.
16 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
4th House: This is the bottom of the chart, so you can return to your
roots or get back to basics in some way, and focus on your inner core
and foundation. You may need to take a different approach to how to
strengthen yourself emotionally, and there can be changes made with
your home or family life. You may be more emotionally detached for a
time, yet what you feel may be much deeper.
5th House: This transit can make you more serious about love, and
perhaps more detached and less emotional until you sort through
issues or learn some lessons. You can become more invested in those
relationships where you have a solid connection, and may lose interest
in any you don’t. You can carefully push outside of your comfort zone
creatively, and this can be a great transit for taking creative dreams
seriously.
6th House: You may work to make some changes in your work or daily
life, and these changes can come over time. If frustrated in your work or
daily life, there may be a temptation to be impulsive, but this can
backfire if not thought out. Stress can grow unexpectedly but can also
be managed in unconventional ways. You can have a better time seeing
the details in the very big picture.
7th House: You may be more detached at times in your relationships, or
give preference to casual relationships or friendships. The ones that you
do connect with fully, you can become more committed to. You can
17 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
distance yourself from those you’re not interested in. There may be
changes in your relationships. You may work harder to find where you fit
in the world.
8th House: You can focus on what lurks beneath the surface, and dig
deeper inside of yourself. This tends to be a heavy transit where you’re
being faced with inner demons and emotional baggage. It’s an excellent
period for letting go, and becoming more detached from the things that
have triggered you. You may have blocks to work on with intimacy or
sharing.
9th House: You may feel limited in terms of what you can expand, but
still feel lighter than when Saturn was in your 8th house. You may work
on pursuing new opportunities and making new changes in responsible
ways. You can take interest in things that you want to become an expert
at, and really dive in. Experiences may be new and different, and serve
some sort of purpose.
10th House: This is the house Saturn naturally rules, and you can feel
some things you’ve worked on for a long time can come to fruition, hit a
high point, or you may experience a setback if you need to do things
differently. Your direction and plans may change, and you may need to
think unconventionally with whatever you want to achieve in order to
make progress.
18 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
11th House: This is the house that naturally connects to Aquarius, and
you can feel extra focused on your future, your hopes and dreams, and
feel more independent. You may feel you have to be more realistic and
practical with your dreams, which can lead to some depression of hope,
but you should focus more on coming up with good plans for your
dreams instead of giving up on them.
12th House: As the last house, this period is often about retreating and
reflecting so you can let go and come to terms with the past. It’s an
excellent time for purging in every way, and you can free yourself up
when you do. You may want to work on old issues that have kept you
from being true to yourself or believing in your dreams.
19 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Lesson 4: Saturn in Aquarius Aspects
The aspects that Saturn makes to your natal chart in Aquarius will be
more focused on the link to independence, individuality, change, the
unconventional, and your dreams. Conjunctions by transit Saturn can
make it so whatever Saturn is touching, your hopes and dreams with
whatever it rules, your ability to be yourself and do things on your own,
and the changes associated with it are extremely important. You have to
go about them in the right way (responsible and thoughtful and
considerate), yet not keep yourself boxed in. There is most likely a
lesson to be learned, especially if it’s the first time Saturn has
conjuncted the position in your life; if the lesson has already been
learned, you can see positive results, feel more hopeful, and more
independent.
Squares and oppositions by transit Saturn in Aquarius to your natal chart
bring out challenges with whatever being touched rules. The challenges
likely feel limiting and restricting, and can cause you to lose hope or box
yourself in too much. Internal and external blocks can become
apparent, and this can keep you from moving forward. Lessons learned
quickly can remove the block and allow you to try to find some space;
lessons not learned can lead to feeling even more hopeless and
overwhelmed. It can be tempting to give up on whatever being hit rules,
but this likely doesn’t solve the problem. Keeping an eye on the future
and remaining objective can help.
20 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Sextiles and trines by transit Saturn in Aquarius to your natal chart can
help you make progress, slowly but surely, and you can feel hopeful yet
realistic. Plans can be practical yet unconventional, and you can find it
easier to stay true to yourself with whatever being touched rules. This
can be a great time to look forward and make changes that bring
stability and security. This is stabilizing energy and not too disruptive at
all, and any potential lessons may be minor or already learned.
Note: The major aspects to Saturn in Aquarius are:
Conjunction: Aquarius
Sextile: Aries and Sagittarius
Square: Taurus and Scorpio
Trine: Gemini or Libra
Opposition: Leo
21 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Lesson 5: Saturn Returns With Saturn in Aquarius
A return occurs when the transit planet comes back to the exact same
position it was at when you were born. Saturn returns every 28 - 32
years, and the first is associated with becoming an adult, while the
second is associated with midlife (and if you live long enough for the
third, golden years). The first return is usually the hardest, and the
second should be easier if you’ve done things right; if you haven’t, then
the second can be worse than the first.
Saturn is the teacher, the one who has lessons for us to learn, and this is
associated with the sign and house location in your natal chart for you.
This shows your greatest lessons and what you have to learn to make
Saturn happy and avoid the major Saturn problems.
Those of you with Saturn in Aquarius will experience a Saturn Return
during this transit. Saturn in Aquarius has to learn how to be true to
yourself, embrace your individuality and independence, and be open to
change. You have to find your place in the world, where you belong,
your people, and until you do, you can feel like an outcast or on the
outside looking in. If this is your first Saturn Return and you haven’t done
these things, you can be forced to face them. If this is your second
Saturn Return and you still haven’t, there can be some major upheaval
to manage; but if you have done it, you can slide into middle age more
easily.

Extra: Transit Saturn Interpretations
These are the general interpretations for transit Saturn in the houses
and aspects from the site for reference:
Transit Saturn in the Houses
Transit Saturn in the 1st House
When transit Saturn is in your 1st house, you see yourself for exactly
who you are, and this helps you to be more realistic. Denial isn’t
something that you can do well now. At the start of this transit, you may
see something important happen in your life, for good or for bad. You
can spend this transit improving your confidence, not by getting
approval from others, but from finding something to pull from within
yourself. You often walk away from this transit feeling much stronger
and more secure in who you are as a person. You can make changes to
yourself, your body, or your outlook. You can take on more
responsibility and feel more mature. If you haven’t been behaving well,
making good decisions, or denying your responsibilities, this may be a
difficult time for you. Try to correct what you’ve been doing wrong, and
it’ll improve. Often, this transit is an excellent time for starting something
new, but it’ll be long-term and not something you see rewards from in
the short-term. You’re making plans for many years to come.
23 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
Transit Saturn in the 2nd House
When transit Saturn is in your 2nd house, you must work hard, and you
take a more practical approach to what you do. The 2nd house rules
your finances, and while Saturn is here, you may feel financially
insecure, especially at the start of this transit, even if you’re not actually
financially strapped. It’s just worry that something could happen, and
you want to secure yourself by having a better cushion. The chances of
something actually happening tend to be lower during this transit. This
is an excellent time to save instead of spend, to create a long-term
financial plan that creates stability in your life, to conservatively invest,
and while you may not win the lottery, you can see financial growth over
the period of this transit that’s slow but steady. You can learn how to
work hard and yield results.
Transit Saturn in the 3rd House
When transit Saturn is in your 3rd house, your optimism is tempered.
Reality sets in, and you seem more serious and thoughtful. You may be
prone to worry and bouts of anxiety. If you’re predisposed, you can
suffer depression or other mental illness during this aspect, but only if
you haven’t been doing the proper work to get to the core issue that
causes it in the first place. You try to streamline your daily life, cutting
out anything that seems wasteful, and become more productive. The
way in which you communicate may change, and you become more
effective in how you communicate to the world. You could be more
quiet as you do that. You may experience issues in your community,
24 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
with your neighbors, with a sibling, or with technology. If in school, you
can go one way or the other, struggling or flourishing.
Transit Saturn in the 4th House
When transit Saturn is in your 4th house, you work on strengthening
your home base, your family, and your inner foundation. You could
clean up your home, remodel, or move, though none of those things will
likely go smoothly and some blocks/delays occur. You can focus on
issues with your family and try to work through them to strengthen the
ties you have with them. You may decide to cut ties with a family
member, recognizing that the relationship can’t be saved. You can take
on more responsibility with your family, trying to help them as best as
you can. You may feel like you’re too restricted in your life as this transit
begins, and have to deal with whatever issues are causing that
restriction. This is a good time to tackle your inner foundation and try to
make it stronger, more solid, and something durable that will sustain
you for some time.
Transit Saturn in the 5th House
When transit Saturn is in your 5th house, your sense of fun may be
drained temporarily. You don’t feel up for parties, socializing, romance,
your hobbies, or anything that can be construed as fun for you. You’re
more serious, and carefully consider what gives you joy in life and why.
You have to look at what your own talents are and be honest with
yourself about them. Don’t deny what you’re good at and let it waste
25 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
away. For creative types, you may feel uninspired as this transit begins,
going through a creative block, and have to find inspiration within
yourself. In romance, you may feel like you have less love in your life,
and have to learn to feel worthy of love because you’re a good person
and not because of what other people think of you. Self-love is
something that you may need to cultivate.
Transit Saturn in the 6th House
When transit Saturn is in your 6th house, you can analyze your daily life,
your routine, and see how you can do better. This transit gives you the
opportunity to become more productive, efficient, and clear out the
stuff that is clogging up your daily life. You can bring more structure and
order to your life, get better organized, work out better work schedules,
and improve your health. You may experience a health issue during this
transit, usually as it begins, and this forces you to confront your health
and change your lifestyle. You have to be more responsible when it
comes to your health, and this transit makes you learn that. When it
comes to work, you may take on more responsibility, or feel stress from
too much pressure. It’s likely not as bad as you think it is, but you need
to learn to manage your time better and how to focus your energy.
Transit Saturn in the 7th House
When transit Saturn is in your 7th house, you can experience some
issues in your existing relationships, and have to face whatever comes
up. The problems that do arise are meant to help you improve the
26 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
relationship, strengthen it, and make it more lasting. Some relationships
may come to an end though. You learn what you want and need from
someone, what commitment means to you, and what you can
contribute to a relationship. You may have some blocks in starting new
relationships/partnerships, and be more cautious with what you commit
yourself to. This can be a good thing, where you do commit to
something important, or to someone. You’re more responsible in your
relationships, and you’re concerned with having good, fulfilling
relationships, even if it means having far fewer relationships.
Transit Saturn in the 8th House
When transit Saturn is in your 8th house, you need to address your
issues with power and control. You may be a control freak, or always
hand over the power to someone else, or find yourself constantly
struggling over power with people. You have to figure out what the
cause of these problems are and work at it. If you’re an obsessive
personality or have any addictions of any kind, that can come to light,
and you’re forced to face it. If it’s impacting your life in an unhealthy
way, Saturn will try to get you to change. Which brings us to change,
one of the themes of the 8th house. You can undergo an important
transformation during this time, something that is profound and
significant, uncomfortable and stressful, but will change your life for the
better if you let it. You may need to face issues related to sexuality,
intimacy, and shared resources. This is usually a heavy, serious transit.

Transit Saturn in the 9th House
When transit Saturn is in your 9th house, you may question your faith
and beliefs. You look at how they’ve been impacting your life and
whether they make any sense anymore. You could abandon your faith
temporarily, and feel less optimistic than usual at the start of this transit.
You have to understand what inspires you and what your true beliefs
are. You need to work on blocks with your confidence levels as well,
and how you stand in your own way. If in school, you could have some
difficulties at first, wondering if you’re studying the right thing, but for
many, this is a good time to learn, and older folks may go back to school
or begin studying something new that takes them in a different
direction. You can experience delays or blocks with travel, or have
issues with the law.
Transit Saturn in the 10th House

foundation for career success. The 10th house rules your career, and
you want to work hard at making career advancement and experience
success. You assess the success you’ve had up until this point, and
focus on the failures that you’ve endured. If you’ve been working hard
and smart, this transit can bring plenty of rewards for your work. If you
haven’t been, you’ll face the consequences of your actions. You want to
know where you are in your life currently, and how the world views you.
You may not like how vulnerable you feel around other people. You can
take on more responsibility and be more mature, but it can be a burden.
28 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course

period in your life where you make great strides, or one full of pressure
and problems. It all depends on what you’ve done up until this point,
and whether you’ve been living properly or not.
Transit Saturn in the 11th House

acquaintances leave your life. You’re not satisfied with superficial
relationships, and this aspect cleans them out. The people who leave
aren’t as good for you as they should be, though you may feel lonely at
first. You want more meaningful friendships and connections with
people. You can become more focused on your future, and your
dreams. You may give up on one of your dreams at the beginning of this
transit, believing that it’s not realistic enough. It would be better to work
hard towards your dreams, and take a slow but steady approach. You’re
more practical and realistic with what is required of you to achieve your
dreams, and this can help you make a successful plan to attain them.

place in the world.

When transit Saturn is in your 12th house, you experience a serious,
heavy period of time where you have to clean out your life carefully.
You need to let go of baggage and of the things that hold you back. It’s
not easy to face your issues, but you have to. The things that you hide
29 | Saturn in Aquarius Mini Course
from yourself, that you deny are there, are the things that will likely
require your attention the most. You can’t run, escape, hide, or deny any
longer. Continue to do so, and you’ll face consequences. Fear will grow,
and you’ll develop more unhealthy, destructive habits. There’s so much
we carry with us that we don’t need over time, and this transit gives us
the chance to get rid of that. It’s daunting and it takes time, but it’s
rewarding. This isn’t usually a good time to begin anything new, but
rather is a time of endings. Be introspective and face your subconscious.
This is a good time to start therapy. By the end of this transit, you should
have much less weight on your shoulders, and when Saturn moves into
your 1st house, you’re ready to hit the ground running.

your life, and whether or not you’re making the best decisions possible

been neglecting or mistreating. It can be a good time to live more

challenge, especially to the Sun, but they offer the most opportunity for
growth if you work with them.

responsibility, and some may try to avoid it, but that’s not the right thing

are. Loneliness can set in, and problems with the home, mother, and
women are likely. It’s hard for you to deal with life right now, and you’re
definitely not up for trying new things or doing anything risky. This
transit brings extreme caution and insecurity. Just let things go at their
own pace and try not to speed everything up or let yourself get too
down. Allow yourself to recharge and assess what’s important to you,
and if a change in your routine is needed, implement it with care.
