I think you can see the Saturn influence in configurations. Here's a couple of personal examples: My husband has Sun conjunct Saturn in a T-Square;
Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius
Opposite Mars in Leo
Square Neptune in Scorpio
He was already in his thirties when I met him. I don't know if I would have gone near him in his twenties.
He says the Neptune influence sounds more like him when he was young. Saturn has taken over, I'd say. The obsessive/addictive side of his personality is channelled into his work, which is also his hobby. It puts bread on the table, so I don't complain about it. Much!
The Neptune Opposite Saturn around the in the 60s/70s has been mentioned a few times on the boards.
It's on my chart:
Neptune Conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius
Opposite Saturn in Taurus
Square Midheaven
Trine/Sextile Moon Conjunct Pluto
Age tends to make people less idealistic, so no suprises there. If you have a hard time from life through no fault of your own that can take off your optimistic edge as well. So that would be me. So I think Saturn is taking over. I hope that makes me more responsible, and more able to get on and get things done (it also conjuncts Mercury) as well as being more miserable!
