Eclipses and transits of major planets disturb and force to rethink certain stages of life. But no matter how many warnings about the retrograde of Venus or Mercury appear, all this does not have the same significance as the transits of Saturn studied by astrology, which bring limitations to life. The positive version is to show responsibility, follow the rules.
Transit principles
Transits determine the time of opportunity. When used for their intended purpose, any negative becomes a plus. But actions, in contrast, lead to the same thing as an attempt to change climatic conditions in a certain part of the globe. If this succeeds, then with great damage to oneself in a spiritual or material sense.
Each transit has its own purpose, so do not go against it. The best option is to use this period to transform other areas of your life. The task is to understand in due time which transit and for what is suitable, and not to struggle with the natural course of events, as this is costly and fraught with a surge of negativity.
Transit features
Transitional Saturn makes you get rid of excesses, dominates minimalism, suits the austerity of the planet or the house in which it is located. For example, if the period concerns the planet of Venus, it is worth abandoning unnecessary connections, limit spending or hobbies. If you do not take this into account, the transit of Saturn will bring a sense of futility, emptiness, depression, fear after the deed.
It has two poles, one of which works. The top one encourages you to set up activities for such aspects: control, manage, show integrity and responsibility, set goals and deadlines, check, remove unnecessary things, ignore emotions and live by the rules. The lower pole is a distorted version of the planet and is expressed by such concepts as dependence, shame, guilt, a sense of scarcity, stereotyped actions. The pole characterizes the manifestations of the planet in the current time and helps to adjust behavior in accordance with the tasks of the period.
In opposition to the sun
Saturn’s transit in opposition to the Sun occurs once in 30 years, lasts several months and is characterized by a difficult and crisis period of high conflict, failures in the personal and business spheres. One must be prepared for losses and futile actions.
Clashes with the law are not excluded, vigilance is necessary. Any planned benefits at this time will require substantial sacrifice. The conclusion of transactions, contracts, responsible speeches, business trips is contraindicated. The period of Saturn’s transit to the opposition to the Sun is successful for a change of position or direction of activity, but it can lead to dismissal.
In conjunction with the sun
Saturn's transit in conjunction with the Sun is observed every 30 years, lasts 1-3 months and contributes to the growth of social and professional success. A successful period for gaining maturity, independence in any field. Its influence is such that the merits of past years become relevant.
The period of high responsibility and chances of approaching the goal. A person is faced with great responsibilities, expected expenses, losses. There is a tangible limitation of creative self-realization, the embodiment of progressive ideas. This is a time of recognition and career advancement. People and circumstances will seem patient.
Retro saturn
The retrograde motion of the planet repeats the path along the same points that it passed in a straight position. The transit of retro Saturn from an esoteric point of view is a return to the past, but to rethink the experience gained.
The planet defines the rules and norms, is responsible for discipline, duty, loyalty, responsibility. This is a period for rethinking basic life positions. Slowing processes under the influence of Saturn allows you to pause and think about what can be improved or changed.
For people with a retrograde Saturn in a horoscope, the period matters in terms of personal development. But it is displayed more in the social sphere, business. People with a retrograde Saturn in the natal chart have difficulty accepting themselves, mental stability, understanding of duty and responsibility, loss of boundaries of interest.
The most difficult period is when Saturn retrograde transit to the opposition with the Sun is observed. It is necessary to realize the excesses of the responsibility taken upon itself, dishonesty, to free oneself from destructive attitudes.
