Does anyone have Saturn in the 10th experience?

Similarly, a Saturn in the 8th house has a deep fear of intimacy? I noticed that in a friend.

for example two twins i know, who were both practicing musicians when i met them at a young adult age...#1 has saturn in 2nd. he ended up quitting music because he was "fed up with poverty" and became a business owner. after succeeding and then crashing and burning, he started over and slowly built his business into a multi-million pound concern. he supports his brother! who works for him...and thus pays the bills and supports his family ...

My natal Mars is also conjunct my IC at 10 degrees Aries which means Saturn will oppose my natal Mars real soon, I think more responsibilities are heading my way, but T. Saturn is also sextile my Jupiter so hopefully that will even out Saturnian restriction. In fact Saturn transits, if you go along with them run quite smoothly and in the long run they are helpful.

For instance, a few months ago T. Saturn was exactly squaring my natal Venus in the 7th house for the second time, I definitely can say I felt terribly detached and had no real enjoyment with the things I usually enjoyed. A somewhat Uranian relationships completely deteriorated during this transit, and I'm still getting over it, but in the end it made me re-evaluate everything and it liberated me from my old worries, and it also made me realize that I can do better than that person who was inconsistent and unappreciative of my generosity.

I understand one characteristic of the house placement of Saturn as the area of life which will make you finally grow up. So, for example, in the 10th that would mean having a successful career would make you become an adult, Saturn in 5th would mean once you had a child, in the 8th a death perhaps, and so on (with more subtle variations on house themes of course).

Saturn in the 10th promises a very long hard road. You have to deal with people all along your path trying to rip you to pieces and doing whatever it takes to make you fail. The key is to remain persistent and keep fighting. I think the lesson with this placement is to be optimistic in the face of adversity even though you tend to be more pessimistic.

My bosses always give me tons of responsibility before I've done anything to prove I can handle it. I'm always put in charge of others, which makes me uncomfortable because it's weird to manage others in tasks you have little or no experience in.

Saturn is transiting my 9th and studies are a concern for me as of now. I hope that when it returns in my 10th I will be more prepared for challenges in the workplace.

I agree that Saturn is where you feel compelled to master. However, it seems like a long road where you just get beat down again and again.

I enjoy my job but it is just that, it’s no career, not really any scope for advancement and I’m ok with that (for now). I get on well with my boss and have to be quite responsible and work to deadlines. I get to work autonomously for the majority of the time which suits the Aqua placement.

I also have mars there too, not good. Can't stand authority. If my boss is a women we seem to end up having sex and if my boss is a guy it tends to be quite confrontational on my part. I am quite agressive by nature anyway I just can't be told what to do especially if its something that they should be doing. Maybe its the Aqua in me too that makes me feel this way.

Astra, I totaly agree with you in regards to responsibility.

When it comes to ambitions, it feels like start, stop, start, stop, start, stop.........I'm very ambitious but it seems like when I'm just about getting there then BAM! something happens and I'm back to where I started.

I have saturn in my 10th and well my career was amazing right up until my Saturn return and then it flopped

I worked hard bouncing around w/ not much progress or pay til my late 20s when I ended up in the career I'm in now and have been for nearly 14 years. Around 7 years ago (a mini Saturn cycle) I moved up significantly and now another change is on the way. I think I always had to work hard but once I "owned" Saturn, and took responsibility the rewards and terms definitely became better. I also have my own business/investments on the side which well supported by this placement.

I have always gotten along well with whoever I directly worked for, not as much with same level associates and although I do well in a certain way, Ketu or South Node in the 10th can make people extremely apathetic or ambivalent about striving professionally or for public acclaim. My understanding is that indicates a past life of public responsibility and a need to move away from the workaholic tendencies and focus on the personal sphere or at least find a way to integrate the 4th house energies.

Came to realize only very recently that I identify much more with my Father, his chart is actually very similar to mine w/ similar aspects and house placements and these are repeated in our composite. He was absent a lot in my youth - always working! - but we had a warm relationship. I had a LOT more trouble with my Mother - fighting, power struggles, etc. and I moved out at 13. As an adult we have peace but not too much affinity or closeness and no matter how much I've accomplished or tried, she seems fairly withholding & uninterested. A bit sad but ultimately liberating...you learn to stop seeking approval and live on your own terms.

I've heard that Saturn in 10th indicates family karma and a lack of parental figures - I would agree with that. I was emancipated very young. I also had no grandfathers and only one grandmother so I wonder if it can indicate a lack of family or "ancestors" so to speak. (I am the baby of the family.) My father's Saturn is in the 9th conj MC also - this repeats in our composite and he is actually the one who grew up fatherless (with no grandparents either.)

My Father's Mother is a Cancer with a lot of planets in my 10th(her Saturn and Pluto are conjunct MY Saturn & South Node, her Venus is also conj my MC, South Node & Saturn.) We have a significant relationship - she has supported and enouraged me a lot and is still with us at age 97. (As an aside, I looked up my other grandmother, who died when I was 3, she also has Jupiter and nodal contacts to me.)

Sadly, she was screwed out a lot of her family inheritance by a vindictive much older half-sister.She had a lot of sad family history and tragedy but now that everyone on her side has crossed over, her load is lightened. She is 72 now and has a lot of natal Scorpio in her chart. She is a very moral person and one of the toughest ladies I've ever met mentally and physically. Particularly constitutionally. She has suffered a lot of serious accidents (mostly in youth),it takes a LOT to bring her down illness wise and she only sleeps about 5 hours a night. She thinks the rest of us are wimps. ;}

Oh, she has a lot to do with money. She does bookkeeping for charities, investment clubs and has always managed the family money. Not sure it's what she loves to do but she often finds herself in that position.
My Dad has always maintained she is very financially responsible and apparently, they have really good credit. He jokes that if he was in charge, bills would always be late.
