Since parent/child is one of the most fundamental of all teacher/student relationships what happens when there are no Saturn aspects between parent and child?

My friend Bret has a child and his Saturn squares her Mars and Saturn.

i think she'll add structure to your life, as being around her will always remind you of that past saturn conj asc you were having in the midst of the pregnancy and/or labor/her early childhood. i don't think she'll teach so much in words as her -presence- will continually remind you to keep yourself on track. this is one instance where it seems to really feel that someone is a permanent transit, even though that phrase is thrown around a lot in synastry it's hard to not notice when it's saturn, of all of them, conj the asc.

My Saturn is in the sign of my mothers Sun
and vice versa.

My daughters have their Saturn conjunct my Ascendant (both are in the 12th house)
There is definately role-reversal here.

My Saturn is conjunct my Son's Ascendant
(and Rules his Asc.)

If you don't find Saturn aspects in the parent, child relationship, I'd start looking at the angles.
This is way to Karmic of a relationship for there to be nothing.

I find it so interesting that many parents have their children's saturn conjunct their Asc. She was born shortly after my 28th birthday, around the time of my saturn return too.

Lalalinda, my daughter teaches me something new everyday just by being who she is! Sometimes at night if I hear a scary noise, I run to her bed and end up sleeping next to her, instead of the other way around! I would definitely call that role reversal!

I don't think your one-sided Saturn aspects necessarily mean that she will be your teacher. It could mean that the experience of being a mother is a grounding experience for you, one where you're constantly becoming more Saturnized.

Perhaps she doesn't need Saturn lessons from a parent, and you will be teaching her other things in life. Maybe if it's your Jupiter aspecting her planets, she needs you to teach her about hope and freedom.

I think all the planets can teach us and enrich our lives, they just have different parts of life to teach us about.

Saturn synastry in my family - I checked and my parents had/have Saturn aspects with all of their children, usually mutual.

I was worried that with very little saturn aspects from me to her, that there would be no glue or lessons for me to teach her. But you are right, lessons don't all have to be saturn lessons. I throw all my personal planets in her 4th house, I think I read somewhere that could be karmic too.

His Saturn is also in my 5th house, conjunct my NN. My Saturn is in his 12th house.

Other interesting parent/child aspects:

*My Moon in his 7th house, my Sun in his 11th house, his Uranus conjunct my Ascendant (now THAT is appropriate--unplanned pregnancy!)

My Saturn :
Squares my mother's sun,trines her moon and venus, squares her mercury, uranus and chiron.

Her saturn squares my mercury, conjuncts my AC, quincunxes my NN.

My Saturn trines my father's venus, quincunxes his mars.

His saturn squares my sun, conjuncts my moon,
trines my venus and mars.

Anyone want to swap aspects?

Judging by this thread, I'd say Saturn most certainly shows up quite often in parent/child synastries.
