Transiting Saturn Conjunct the Ascendant

Transiting Saturn has been hovering around the 0 degree Sagittarius since the end of 2014.  It goes back as far as 28 degrees 17 minutes into the sign of Scorpio at the end of July before it returns direct in early August (the 2^nd).and by the end of 2015 it will have moved forward by as much as ten degrees into the sign of Sagittarius.  If you have your Ascendant within these degrees, you will have Saturn conjuncting this placement for much of the time period mentioned.

Saturn conjunct the Ascendant can be a very trying time.  Many individuals will experience times of strife, setbacks, challenging conditions and delays during much of this aspect.  The period involved will vary depending on the sign and degree of your Ascendant.  It should be noted that Saturn’s strongest affects are often felt when it is 2 degrees past your Ascendant position.  This differs from other planetary influences in that the most powerful influences are when they are exact to the degree.  An example of this would be with an Ascendant of 2 degrees Sagittarius, the strongest impact would be when Saturn reaches 4 degrees of Sagittarius.

Saturn is a powerful agent for change, structure, discipline and challenges in your life.  It often makes things rather trying when it touches areas of your chart and the areas of life affected may feel a little restricted or delayed.  The degree of irritation varies from one chart to another, depending on the condition of Saturn in the natal chart.  Any other planetary influences in the birth chart being transited by planetary links will also play a role in how Saturn’s return will influence you. 

Since the Ascendant deals primarily with personal issues, (some out in the open, others more private), relationships and changes within your life’s structures are areas of concern or challenged during this period.  Saturn seems to test your resolve and challenges you to review your life’s conditions.  It pushes you to make honest evaluations on where you are at present and what you may want to do in years to come.

Saturn restricts, delays, and makes life challenging, but it also offers rewards for your hard hard work.  It provides structure and creates a solid foundation in your life as it passes across your Ascendant.  It may present challenging conditions that you will have to deal with and alter or change completely, but if you abide by the rules and do not cut corners, Saturn’s influence will produce solid and rewarding outcomes down the road. 

Whatever house Saturn is found in your birth chart, this area will also be under the same scrutiny and challenging conditions and these areas of life will also be affected as it crosses your Ascendant.  For example if Saturn is in the tenth house in the birth chart, the transit of Saturn may affect your employment and also your status in life as well as relationships with people of authority.  Because the seventh house is opposite the Ascendant, you might notice challenging conditions to your marriage partnership and also any potential partnerships involved in business related manners.

Saturn obstructs and produces times where you will be put to the test, filtering through the areas of life that are highlighted.  It will challenge you to change what needs changing and delete anything that hinders personal growth in your life. 

Be careful not to become depressed during these trying times and rest assured that it is only a temporary state of affairs.  The process might be difficult but these steps are necessary for you to move in the intended direction of your life’s path for a positive outcome.
