Saturn

Arguably the most beautiful planet in the solar system, Saturn has gotten a bum rap in astrological terms. Historically seen as the "Greater Malific", Saturn was thought to portend strife, bad luck, and endless delays.

Saturn teaches us patience and perseverance. Where Saturn is located in our charts tells us that this is an area that is going to require dedication and some work. Nothing regarding Saturn is handed to you lightly. This is not as negative as it may seem. All things worth having are worth working for, and Saturn is the planet that will help you to strive towards things that are valuable. It may take some time, but with Saturn working with you, you will be able to overcome those obstacles and reach your goal.

Saturn takes 28 to 30 years to complete one cycle of the zodiac, and as a result spends approximately 2-1/2 years in each sign. It is no accident that one feels more grown up at the time that Saturn returns to the place it was originally located in your birth chart.
