While it was in the 12th, I became incredibly disenchanted with my job and current path. It was hollow, without meaning. I also had a number of health issues.
I, with the help of my partner (necessary help, as I've trimmed quite a bit out of our lives and am staying home, for the time, with our children) have ended that period in my life.
It feels good, though I wouldn't say that anything's yet "begun" - it more feels like I'm laying the foundations for future action.

For instance (on my first point): During my first Saturn return, I went though a good many painful but liberating changes.
Just came to me: It was like squeezing the infection out of a festering wound to get it good and clean, ready to heal.
Throughout, there were a number of actions I strongly felt that I had to "just do", so I just did them.
They weren't easy, but they were right.
As they were done, my life felt more and more solid (even if an outside observer may have thought that it looked in total disarray and fraught with catastrophe).

I hope so, anyway, though realize that nothing can be taken for granted with him.

Saturn left my 1st house where my natal Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto sits, not to mention, my ASC. I had my first Saturn's return and I survived! I've set the foundation for my individuality and how I'm going to carry myself. I'm more sure of myself after my return than any other time in my life. It's quite strange, as I have less material possession and money now than in the past and yet, I'm more anchored in myself.

I have it in my 8th house natally and its pretty much effed up every relationship i thought i had or could have. I have been rejected more times than I can count, I have been abandoned more times than i can count, its like noone likes me enough to stay. I have dealt with it pretty well up until recently maybe thats when saturn started effing with my 7th. But i am always on the verge of tears, reliving my past (not the good parts) cant seem to let go of how iven been treated, and wanting to find a partner more than ever. I need support.

Well, Saturn is Lord Karma and I've read that if anyone has Saturn in their 8th house, it's because in their past incarnations, they were sexually cruel and now in this lifetime, the person kinda gets a taste of their own meds, so to speak... Not to be doom and gloom, there are ways to correct that. Although, I'm not sure how exactly. How about looking up the detriments of Saturn in the 8th and trying to rectify it? Saturn in any water house is totally rotten and difficult to deal with because water houses are of the subconscious realm.

How can I correct it? My Saturn is in Sag in my 8th house

My saturn is in 7th in scorpion.... no idea what to expect! Been dating constantly for just under 2 yrs.... no luck meeting anyone yet despite my efforts. Although I take a fair amount of responsibility b/c I want a soul mate not just a ring soi may be searching for awhile. Casual just wont do. I hope this transit provides clarity and patience during this search

You don't use the whole sign system right? Coz I can see that you said you have Aries on the Asc and yet Scorpio in your 7th . Huh?

For me, the Saturn transit is more likely to affect my sex life, investments and sexual organs(ruled by Scorpio).

Aleady, I've developed what they term is a 'UTI". Which is odd; considering I haven't had sex with anyoe in years.

I'd advise everyone to be more cautious in sexual flings or affairs of a sexual nature as you may retain very real problems. Use a condom to prevent diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Saturn could thrust a very real and dangerous sexual illness round this time if you don't. Be careful...

For men, doing a prostate check around this time to detect any "buildup" in places where there shouldn't be, is recommended(especially in the regions of sexual organs). I know I will.

For women/gay men who are single/ married, be especially vigilant with your sexual partner(whether long-term or short term) , because women/gay men tend to be the "absorbers" or take on the "passive" role in sexual intimacy and thus "mistakes" or "breaking of the condom"/ any other distruptions can leave you very vulnerable.

The last time that Saturn was in Scorpio was during my birth so this cycle is HUGE.

Its very significant and can mean the dawning of the next phase of my life(until Saturn returns again) and definately the "ending" of the man I was 27 years ago. Now is the "stock count" -so to speak. Making mental notes of whcih part of my characters I need to get a lot more work done.

I'm excited and looking forward to this; it should be a whole lot of fun.

right now t sat is on my second house cusp.
feels like when some unelected president freezes a supposed rogue nations assets.
i'm like syria right now or some sh*t.

back to basics and ground upwards on those 2nd house foundations for me, before the return starts. joy.

However, Virgo and Libra are really slutty and like racking up as much numbers as possible because they want to serve and please others- totally busted and weak willed.

Thank you for that, mockingbird.

Saturn is the stern grandfather, the task-master, the one who brings the discipline, and the cosmic banker who calls the karmic debt to be paid in full. But we naughty children need discipline as we grow. We chose all of this. Linda reminds us that we chose our parents and our birth dates, and we chose Saturn's placement and aspects. When we can rise above and look down at our s-elves and see as an observer, we can grok that, it becomes less hard because we *see* it differently. There can be pleasure in the sincere gaining and payment we make in the hard work under Saturn. Have you ever been overjoyed when you paid off a credit card? We bought it, now we have to pay for it. There will be relief if we work it out. The debt will be paid, one way or another, and we get to choose whether we pay it cheerfully or begrudgingly. Grandfather only wants the best for us. And as VenusDiSirius reminds us, it is only 2.5 years.

Light and love to you all.

Example: Last time Saturn was in Scorpio, I was a very small child but after looking at my chart I realized that once Saturn in Scorpio was in conjunction with my uranus and moon, my father died (by accident) and my mother was hospitalized for mental breakdown. These were extremely traumatizing events for me...not really blaming saturn but its interesting enough that while it was on my moon and 4th house cusp I was a hair away from being an orphan at 5.

I have been dealing with it on my own my whole life and have yet to correct anything or find out whats wrong with me. I am here looking for answers not saying you have them but i was just asking. I wont bother you again, tho
