Saturn Trine Saturn

As we often look into Astrological aspects that involve Saturn (the task maker, the disciplinarian, the teacher and the one that rewards for tasks well done), we thought we would look into the transiting trine of Saturn to its natal position. As Saturn usually restricts and challenges us to do well and make the right decisions, the trine offers an opportunity to reinforce our view of who we are and how far we have come.

Saturn makes a trine to itself every nine to ten years of life and during these encounters, it offers us a stable understanding of where we are in life and what needs adjustment in the coming years. There is a sense of preparation that takes place during this time and depending on what age we are, these periods offer a time to lay down the foundation or base work for what has become important facets of our evolution. These are times when we are able to clearly see the ramifications of our actions, particularly the ones where we succeeded. We then can use these experiences as stepping stones for times to come.

These trines provide us with security and stability. They leave us in a position where we can utilize these strengths and take conscious control in the understanding of how our life’s objectives have performed until now. These new understandings are given birth through experience, through life’s teachings and cannot be taught in a classroom.

Our attitude and viewpoint of life reaches a point of balance and we have a new found understanding that provides us with information through past experiences that will guide us down the road. This is not a testing time, as are most other Saturn aspects. We may be familiar with how well our ideologies stood the test of time, but as yet we are not aware of how well they will stand the tests of the future.

As you pass through these trines of Saturn to Natal Saturn, it would be wise to examine your evolutionary progress, and with an open mind, make the necessary changes and improvements that will enhance growth in the upcoming years. Since Saturn’s influence is usually inflexible and somewhat fixated in its offerings, keep an open mind to new opportunities and chances for development. It is imperative to remain supple and adaptable within Saturn’s infamous confines.
