I have saturn in cancer in the seventh house. I understand that one of the issues concerning the seventh house is marriage. I have been married once already and I am now divorced. Security seems to be a very important factor in who I choose. Granted, this is an important factor for everyone but it seems to be the sole factor for me. Does the placement of saturn in my chart have anything to do with this? Does anyone know anyone with these placements? Or maybe some of you have this placement yourself. Some info on this would be wonderful. Thank-you all in advance. IP: Logged |

I have Saturn on the cusp of the 7th and 8th house. Oddly enough, I used to identify more with the interpretation for the 7th house when I was in my teenage years. Now (I'm in my mid-20s) I feel the interpretation for the 8th house fits me more.But anyway, back to your question ... I experienced Saturn in the 7th house as somewhat restrictive in personal relationships. I used to be very careful when it came to interacting with other people. I didn't let anyone get close to me because I feared they would only use me. On a more positive note, it also made me very reliable and loyal in close relationships. IP: Logged |

I have this placement and it's at the apex of a T-square.According to one interpretation, we should avoid getting married or into a serious relationship before age 29 or it will break up at our Saturn Return. And it can also mean we will be involved with someone older in that relationship. This is EXACTLY what happened to me. It was a *great* relationship - lots of trines to my sun - and it lasted five years. Since then, I've found that I've experienced almost every embodiment of Saturn in Cancer in the 7th house possible. From wanting security, to feeling restricted, to feeling like relationships are hard work and that either I have to have a Saturnian partner or *I* have to be the one who is Saturnian (in that *I* have to do all the hard work and be responsible). None of this exactly gels with me and it has made me miserable at times because I just want my relationships to be easy for once. On the plus side, I am extremely loyal and committed and I take relationships seriously - which is good news for a guy who's ready for that. On the negative side, it's probably better if I don't show how loyal and committed I am all the time, just so I don't get taken for granted.  I'm wondering if Saturn in the 7th house can also represent "relationship karma" to be worked out in this lifetime. It does feel that way. I just discovered that I have the asteroid Karma in my 7th house too, so it looks like I can't avoid it.

WOW!!!
Thank-you kindly SagSun & GeminiLover75 for your replies. I found them to be quite informative and thought provoking!
I can certainly relate to the fear of letting others get close for fear of being taken advantage of, as I too am extremly loyal and sincere in relationships. Yes! GeminiLover75, it probably is better to keep this info on the hush. Some do take advantage of that fact, knowing that you will always be a stable force withthin their lives they just take it for granted that you will always be there.
About avoiding getting married or into serious relationships b/4 age 29 due to the possibility of it not enduring is true for me aswell. I got married when I was 23 and it did break up.
I would like some more information on this "feeling restricted" I think you both mentioned it. Please elaborate.
I would also like to know (GeminiLover75) some more info on Saturn in the 7th house representing "relationship Karma". Does this entail being joined with others for the sake of fulfilling karmic obligations???
I guess this means that each relationship is special even if they do not stand the test of time. Although I suspect this is true for all relationships as I do strongly believe that everyone that you connect with in life is for a purpose.
Thank-you once again SagSun & GeminiLover75 for your replies, I look forward to hearing from you again.
If anyone else has any input it would be much appreciated.
Blessings to all.IP: Logged |

Is it a very strong guarantee that someone with this placement will likely want to get involved only with older partners? Or, most of the time?Can they be attracted to someone that's younger than them who is mature/comes off older for their age?  sarai IP: Logged |

"According to one interpretation, we should avoid getting married or into a serious relationship before age 29 or it will break up at our Saturn Return."I have Saturn in Cancer in the 7th House and I was in a relationship that started when I was 18 and ended when I was 32...but the "beginning of the end" was definitely at the very beginning of my Saturn Return! I don't believe, though, that a relationship not lasting forever in its romantic form means we should avoid having one. We are still very close and he is like my family. To me (Leo Sun), life is more about quality than quantity...we had some great years together and then I needed something different. Now, though, at age 33, I'm worried that I'll never be mutually attracted to anyone again. I've never been at all attracted to older lovers or partners. At this age, the man I'm attracted to are a few years younger than I am. Also, security is not one of my main concerns in terms of who I choose as a partner. I look for partners who are sexy, brilliant and charismatic...and then once I'm involved with them, I struggle over issues of emotional security. (Saturn is conjunct my Moon.) IP: Logged |

I've never been attracted to older men ... I mean, sure, I do find George Clooney handsome, but that's about it. I can't picture myself dating someone much older than me. My special someone is 4 years older than me. He is kind of an "old soul" though. IP: Logged |

I think without knowing it,when I was younger I found myself attracted to men who were father figures. Not too much older than me, but when I was 21, a guy I had a crush on was 32 - which is quite an age difference, but it felt natural to me. My five-year relationship was with a guy 7 or 8 years older. Neither of these guys seemed "too old" for me though, and both of them fitted in with younger people very easily. Another guy I was crush/in romantic love with but never got together with was also about 8 years older than me, but he related to younger people very well in general and didn't really look older. Another thing I've found is that the men I get involved with are always fathers! That's a fact that emerges *after* I get involved with them.My partner now is only four years older than me and there is a lot more fun with various things because we're closer in age and have the same sense of fun, so it's not really Saturnian at all except that I feel like I do most the emotional work in the relationship - so there's Saturn kicking in again, but in a different way. It's not to say that I'm not attracted to men my age or younger, because there are definitely one or two who I've had the raging hots for! As for feeling restricted. If the relationship *isn't going well* or isn't making me feel secure, then things can go into a bit of a wobble for me and I'll start to feel like I want out, or I want attention from somewhere else. Although I'm a Venus in Gemini, the typical 'flirt' side doesn't rear its head - but if things are going badly and I'm feeling restricted by everything in the relationship being too much hard work or I'm banging my head against a brick wall, or things are going very badly in some regard, then I get discontented and want to get out there and have fun by getting attention from hot guys. What I really want is for things to settle down and give me security, so when that does happen then I'm as happy as a bug in a rug and the Gemini Venus goes back into hibernation. Lucia, my five year relationship has also lasted beyond it's romantic form, as we are still friends almost three years later and he is very much considered part of my family. As for relationship karma, I feel like Saturn in 7th represents the area that we must deal with in this lifetime. We will deal with relationships in a way that many other people won't, as it has an added importance for us. IP: Logged |

SagSun: It's so interesting that you're with an "old soul" as you said. I guess maybe in astrology we should sometimes look to the unseen/non-physical aspects of things instead of taking interpretations at face value like I did.Thanks! IP: Logged |

Thank-you all for your input.
I think there may actually be something to that interpretation. Of not getting involved in serious relationships before the age of 29, and it's funny because I always say I'm going to tell my children not to get married before 30! My marriage ended at 32 aswell. I am 33 now and my outlook has changed. I find that the connections that I am making now, the men are either a Capricorn (sun) or they have Saturnine qualities. I also find myself saying I am going to start dating older men since they are most likely more stable and are willing and ready to settle down. However, sometimes a younger man can be more mature than his age, after all age is just a number.IP: Logged | |
