Saturn is the planet nobody asks for and everyone needs. It says no until you have done the work — and then it gives you something nobody can take away.

Saturn by sign

The sign tone is generational; it is shared with people born within the same ~2.5 years. The house, on the other hand, is personal.

Saturn by house

The house of Saturn is where you feel inadequate when young and unusually competent when old. 2nd: money. 5th: children and creativity. 7th: marriage. 10th: career. Read it as a long apprenticeship.

The Saturn return

Around age 29 and again at 58, Saturn returns to its natal place and forces a rebuild. We covered this in Saturn return: the astrology of the age-29 crisis.
