Questions like: "Is this bad?" Are what happens when people analyze their aspect according to what is "good" and "bad" Looking at things this way can cause a lot of problems.

Aspect and placements in the chart are either challenging (implying that although difficult, then can ultimately be worked through) or there is a easy flow of energy between them.

For example, my saturn in Scorpio. I don't think this is "bad," although one could argue that my saturn placed in the 5th house of pleasures would be considered a difficult placement.

I sometimes wish Astrology interpretations would not just present the "bad" but the good of a particularly difficult placement. Perhaps then, we wouldn't all get caught up in the "good and bad" of it all. And start viewing our charts as being positive or negative.

Just my opinion.

I agree with whiterabbit for the most part. That said, Saturn can be more challenging in certain signs and chart positions than in others. If I had to point out a classical "difficult" expample, it would be Saturn in its fall sign, Aries, placed in the house of its detriment, the 4th.

In hard aspect to any planet in the chart (but especially where the luminaries, angles, and personal planets are concerned) Saturn can produce much tension until its influence is integrated successfully. Even Saturn in Libra, as I have it, isn't a cakewalk when one has it oriental to and within three degrees of one's sun, quincunx the moon, and throwing a wet blanket on an already frigid Jupiter.
