Saturn in Houses

Saturn in Houses: all the characteristics of Saturn in astrology, when placed in any of the twelve astrological houses.

Natal Saturn in the 12th house

 

Having Saturn in the 12th house is probably one of the most difficult placements a native can have. Especially if the planet is adversely aspected, its effect in the house of fears and restriction can lead to isolation and depression. As the 12th house rules fears, the presence of any malefic planet there can induce quite a lot of them. Saturn has a rather cold and restrictive energy, which can lead the native to self-limitation. He is frequently afraid to dream, which in turn leads to despair and melancholy. Many times, it is Saturn’s pessimism that actually keeps the individual away from achieving his inner wishes. The 12th house is responsible for the last 2 hours before birth, and Saturn’s presence may indicate a lot of pressure in the mother’s…

Natal Saturn in the 11th House

 

An individual with his natal Saturn in the 11th house will be very careful and serious about his friendships. The barrier the planet imposes may sometimes alienate him from groups and companies; nevertheless, it can also act as a great filter for making the best choices concerning his friendships. As many other astrological houses that are above the horizon, the 11th house is a rather good placement for one’s natal Saturn. The house is ruled by Aquarius and planet Uranus, yet we should not forget that before Uranus’ discovery, the ringed planet Saturn was considered as the sign ruler. Indeed, Saturn feels quite comfortable in Aquarius, and even functions in a rather open and liberated way, inheriting many of the sign’s traits. In case that Saturn is well-aspected, the planet…

Natal Saturn in the 10th House

 

Natal Saturn in the 10th house is in domicile, as the house’s natural ruler is Capricorn. Having Saturn high in the heavens is quite a better placement than below the horizon, and especially if it is well-aspected or placed in the signs of Capricorn, Libra or Aquarius, it can even act as a benefic while in the 10th house. Nevertheless, one should not expect to effortlessly activate the positive traits of the ringed planet. Saturn is all about seriousness, and when in the 10th house, it requires a very devoted approach to all career matters. His rewards, even if quite a lot of time and efforts are needed for them to appear, are long-lasting and can accompany the native until his last life moments. It has to be noted, that…

Natal Saturn in the 9th House

 

Even though Saturn is a rather malefic planet, it is quite a better placement if it resides high in the heavens during the native’s birth. Natal Saturn in the 9th house will definitely require a lot of effort from the native in order to function well but can be highly rewarding. The individual with such a placement might be born to a very traditional family and usually has grandparents who have a very narrow perception of religion and education. They might be very pushy about these matters during his young years, forcing him to accept their own views. This can develop an inner rejection of religion and education in the individual and heavy disappointment about how he is being taught that life functions. On the other hand, Saturn here will…

Natal Saturn in the 8th House

 

A reader might expect that natal Saturn in the 8th house would bring a lot of difficulties in the matters that the house rules, yet this is definitely not the case. The 8th house can even be a very good placement for the otherwise malefic planet, provided of course that it is well-aspected. Yes, Saturn is indeed a planet that can bring difficulties depending on where it is placed, but it definitely functions in a better way when it is high in the heavens than when it is near or beneath the horizon. The most important effect that this placement creates is making the native rather serious about the matters of the 8th house. The 8th house rules sex, but not the one of the casual type. Here lays the…

Natal Saturn in the 7th House

 

Many would expect that having natal Saturn in the 7th house is the worst position for marriage. Well, it is not! The truth is that the presence of the ringed planet can create complications in this matter, but if the native handles it well, it can lead to a marital life of the utmost stability. The real question is whether the chart owner really wants this type of stability, or would they prefer Saturn to block the gates of marriage. Of course, a lot is depending on aspects of other planets that apply on the native’s natal Saturn. First of all, we should mention that for such a natal placement of Saturn, the sign in which he resides is a key factor. If Saturn is located in Capricorn, Aquarius or…

Natal Saturn in the 6th House

 

The 6th house is closely connected with everything that includes one’s labor, personal effort, and work; mostly not as a professional direction and career, but rather of offering your services to someone else. People who have Saturn placed in the house can be workaholics, as its presence makes the 6th house issues play an important role in the native’s life. Saturn in the 6th house gives quite demanding work surroundings to the native, without this meaning that they do not like it. Nevertheless, it is time-consuming and a lot of effort is being invested. When Saturn is well-aspected by other bodies, working a lot is a conscious decision, often involving family businesses that pass from father to child, becoming a tradition. Of course, such works also are demanding, as they…

Natal Saturn in the 5th House

 

Being located in the 5th house is a rather difficult position for Saturn. Even when it is well-aspected, its presence in the house of joy will restrain the native from the small amusements of life, giving a rather serious approach to his life. The gloomy and cold nature of Saturn is definitely not the best to have in the house of pleasure. While most people party, a native with such an aspect might be shy to join fun activities or even consider them as something not interesting. He may have a very serious character concerning fun activities, and during his childhood, the elder members of the family were frowning upon joy. They might be considering playing, laughing and passing a good time as a sin; thus the native can grow…

Natal Saturn in the 4th House

 

Having Saturn in the house of one’s home is a rather difficult natal placement. The 4th house is traditionally ruled by Cancer and the Moon, and Saturn’s cold presence is adversely affecting all the emotional areas connected with one’s home, family and childhood. Even when Saturn is well-aspected, it will still bring coldness in the native’s family affairs even when his parents do not treat him in a bad way; they might just be very old, conservative and become a burden because he must take care of them. Usually, Saturn in the 4th house brings an unhappy childhood. As the 4th house rules the native’s mother, she is frequently distant and cold. This placement gives possibilities of an old mother of a rather melancholic character, whose culture and approach towards…

Natal Saturn in the 3rd House

 

Usually, the presence of Saturn in a house has a restrictive effect on the matters that the house rules. You should always keep in mind though that there is a huge difference between a well aspected Saturn and an adversely aspected one. Also, when natal Saturn is located in the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra or Scorpio he tends to abolish a lot of his negative traits, and can even become benefic if there is no harsh aspect to the other planets present in the chart. Saturn is a slow moving planet and gives delays to issues of the house where it is located. The person who was born with Saturn in the 3rd house usually starts talking and communicating later than other kids, might have a rather slow and…

Natal Saturn in the 2nd House

 

Usually, wherever Saturn is located in a natal chart signifies a problematic life area, as the ringed planet is considered a malefic. Does this general rule apply, though, when Saturn is placed in the house of material possessions and wealth? The truth is somewhere in the middle. When Saturn is located in the 2nd house, its behavior is strongly connected to the aspects that it forms with other planets, while also to the sign in which it resides. Even though it is considered a rather restrictive planet, if it is placed in Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius he tends to reveal his positive traits. The same applies when he forms good natal aspects to planets; a supportive Jupiter or Venus might even turn him into a benefic. Nevertheless, the whole…

Natal Saturn in the 1st House

Saturn is widely known to be a malefic planet, so what happens when it is located in the house of one’s self? Relax, as things might not be so tragic – Saturn is also a great teacher, who often helps us evolve through difficulties. His nature bonds us and restricts us, but accepting the limitations he applies on us and learning to live with them becomes the liberation from the trouble that he brings. Having Saturn in the 1st house makes the individual a rather serious person; Saturn is by no means the most enthusiastic planet of our Solar System. The native is cautious or even shy, prefers stability in his affairs and everyday reality and likes to focus in structuring his life. They are hard working, and many times…
