Saturn in the Fifth House: Planet of fear and caution in the house of fun and games. Right. This can cause a lot of trouble when one is a teenager. There will tend to be extra difficulties with romance, creativity, and fun in general. Saturn’s idea of "fun" is something that takes a long time and lots of hard work. Lighten up already. Remember, Saturn is where we want to control things, and in the fifth house that means control of fun, games, and love affairs. If you have this one, you may not have too many "light" affairs. Saturn wants everything to be important. On the plus side, Saturn here can be very good for creative projects that take forever to do and require endless patience. When it comes to gambling, stay away from the casinos and put your money somewhere safe. Children will also give more than the normal amount of problems.

I also have saturn in the 5th and the whole thing about taking life too seriously is true... I forget to have fun sometimes.

Most women look for father figures first, and work in some kind of artistic field. If not then colour and glamour are sought after.

Mine is unaspected which is said to be stronger, I do like a man with a strong Saturn in his chart, such as a singleton.

Saturn in the 5th. Wonderful. My daughter's very serious boyfriend has that. Does that mean I never get grandchildren? Nope. I choose to believe that - if they stay a couple - they will have a very brilliant and remarkable Capricorn child. A girl. Yes, maybe a little on the serious side, but that is okay.

You can read anything into these interpretations.

People have children, but with Saturn in the 5th, the maturity level is not there until the self is taken care of

My responsibilities were great at a very young age...taking care of my three younger brothers when my Scorp Mom 'checked out' for three years after my parents divorce...(stayed in her room and only came out to eat and write my chore list). I tend to be more serious-rarely out of control...

I LOVE children...however, have lost the one pregnancy I had at 35 when I was married...now I am 38 and am wondering if it will happen for me at all...want to be in a marriage first...but will explore options at 40 if I still feel strongly about having a child without another partner.

So...here is my Question-

That makes sense as father figures are very important in my life, this could be because it is said that an unaspected planet, standing alone is very much felt in the chart due to the lack, or it could be the aspect to the midheaven, or that it's in Taurus near my Sun.

Also I have three planets in the 10th conjunct,

So the entire chart has to be seen,

Most ambitious people have a lack of or strong Saturn in their charts, either they must fill it up, or they go with it, I find that the ambition is filled more on a public scale with the lack.

Saturn on the Midheaven is more of a lack of a father figure, Saturn conjunct Ascendant has a father figure who is deferred to.

the lack of Saturn creates a need for power, and unaspected saturns are common in politicians, most US Presidents have a stand alone Saturn OR Saturn aspecting the Midheaven.

People like Michael Jackson have Saturn on the Midheaven, whereas a woman who marries a father figure and is private will have Saturn on the Ascendant, or a man with the conjunct, will follow in his father's footsteps, and defer to older men. One will use tradition, the other follows it.

Saturn affects everyone differently,
My ex had a Saturn singleton in Capricorn but he is unambitious except in Marriage, Sun in Libra and Mars in the 7th in Libra.

I think it is time I tell my daughter to start looking around. Her current and serious boyfriend has saturn in cancer in the 5th. Furthermore,

sun square saturn
moon square saturn
saturn square pluto

Finally, something decent:

mercury trine saturn
venus sextile saturn

Also, my daughter has saturn in the 10th, in libra. She is driven and ambitious and hard working and successful in school/career:

saturn conjunct pluto
saturn opp sun
mercury opp saturn

She also has mars in the 10th, in libra:

mars square neptune
moon sextile mars
mars sextile asc
mars sextile uranus

She comes across as understated and a little shy, but underneath of that she is a driven and competitive dynamo.

Saturn in Libra/10th-says career first. After dreams of career are over then children. You are asking a lot Key, career woman and children? She can't do both eventually one side wins, balance is not possible in one body. Eventually she will have to find a man who is the homebody type, or if she prefers the driven type, will put career first for many years.

I hear that from many mothers, including my own, where are the straight A's two degrees, and btw where are my grandchildren? (She has mars in Capricorn/7th house, and Uranus on ascendant.)
If your daughter has that drive children are not on her list of priorities, so her mate has to security driven, and ready to nurture.

Possibly a Libra moon or 7th or 8th house Moon, man would fit the bill.

I am still laughting so hard over this! I am striving to back out and let my daughter figure her own life out, but it is with great difficulty!

Does anyone watch American Idol? I am not ashamed to admit that I love that show. On the group performance segment on Wednesday night, there were some very involved and pushy parents giving advice. It was hilarious. Cause, in all honesty, I could see myself doing the same thing - and trying to convince myself it was for the group good.

My daughter has no problem letting me have it when I step over the line (another Aries).

Thanks, Natasha, darlin'!

Quess what? The current and serious boyfriend has moon in libra in the 8th house!! He is the devoted and nurturing type, as well!

I don't know if this is true for others but everything I buy breaks, I have to make all my own clothes, soft home furnishings and so on..I only buy from friends. Right now I am returning a bra that hurts, and I only buy food, vitamins and electronics in stores these days, everything else is garbage.

When I buy something I always find it cheaper the next day and it's non refundable!

Anyone else with Saturn in 5th have this problem?

Do me a favor. Go over to the movie/tv character thread and respond to the actress who most fits you. Curious.

I have moon trine Saturn and Jupiter Trine Saturn

Both my moon and Jupiter are in Pices..in the first house (Ascendant too).
