♄︎ Saturn
Structure and limits.
The taskmaster: limits, time, discipline, and what must be earned. About two and a half years per sign.
Right now
Saturn stands at 13° Aries, moving retrograde. Drag it on the live clock to travel through time.
Current aspects
| Jupiter trine Saturn | orb 1.1° |
| Mars square Saturn | orb 2.6° |
The trine lets Jupiter and Saturn cooperate by nature: the appetite for more and the principle of limit accept each other, which is a talent and a temptation to coast.
In the traditional scheme Saturn carries work, time, and responsibility. It builds and restrains wherever there is structure, time, and discipline; what it offers is patience and backbone, what it looks for is a rule to keep, and its failure mode is coldness.
Saturn spends about two and a half years in each sign, twenty-nine years for the circuit. It spends about four and a half months of each year retrograde.
Read well, Saturn shows as patience that builds something lasting. Read badly, it slides toward fear that hardens into a wall.
Dignities
Saturn traditionally rules Capricorn and Aquarius. It is exalted in Libra, its strongest placement by tradition.
