Saturn in Libra in the Natal Chart

We thought we would go a little deeper into the sign Libra, since the Sun is still currently in Libra. In Astrology, every planet moves from sign to sign. If you were born in late 1950 and through into the fall of 1953, or born from the fall of 1980 through to the end of 1982 and then those born from the end of 2009 through into the fall of 2012, you will have Saturn in Libra in your Birth (Natal) Chart.

Saturn takes approximately 29 years to move through all of the signs of the zodiac and return to its original natal position at the time of your birth. When Saturn reaches its return position, this time is usually marked with striking transformations. We have already discussed the Saturn Return on June 6, 2013, and will not be touching on this now. Instead we will focus on those born with their Saturn in Libra.

This placement of Saturn usually suggests that the “artist”, who will have specialized in their own particular form of art, will reach the maturation process only after years of murky but committed effort. As Saturn is known as the eternal task maker, this placement quite often produces individuals who work diligently on their particular art.

This placement could be called the wisest judge, and generally produces a high minded individual, whose aim is to live within their tight guidelines and to pursue the highest in moral goals. Their reserved and refined behaviour is recognized most frequently through their good will and the relentless search for peace. These individuals generally try to stay on middle ground, but are often swept from side to side as they are always trying to please those around them. They have a great need to correct incorrect assumptions, and want others to know the truth as long as no one gets hurt.

Many marry more than once. For many men, female relationships are generally ill-fated or men find their significant other very difficult to please. In partnerships, they are in search for people who are high minded and intelligent, as well as someone adept in conversation. They benefit greatly from a stable partnership and have a need for balance and harmony in their close personal relationships.

Most with this combination are intellectual and suited for scientific work. They are suited for work where the studied application of principles and honesty are important. Many make great lawyers or judges, as fairness in everything is paramount. If they attempt to succeed without the proper training or the required experience, they may fail when testing becomes a crucial part of the evaluation. Knowing the subject thoroughly is a must and no half measures will stand up to the test of Saturn in later years.

This is a somewhat difficult position for Saturn as Libra is soft, gentle and refined while Saturn is indignant to soft principles and wants refinement which is suitable for Libra, but not without the testing grounds being bombarded with restrictions and hardships. Saturn tests, places restriction and delays before Libra can find the place in its heart for love, peace and balance. Together they make for a rough road with many twists and turns but in the end, a road well-travelled and completely understood.
