I'm interested in knowing if anyone else has gone through this. My saturn is in Sag in the 8H, so my return is coming up. A lot of sites say that the 8H saturn transit has to do with other people's money or taxes or partner's resources. But I'm not in a relationship, I don't earn a lot of money and I don't have any debt so...

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the power/intimacy/sexuality side of 8H saturn, as this side is more prominent in my life due to my 7H Venus/Pluto conjunction and an 8H stellium.

My chart: http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=astro_w2at_01_jeremy_h.3306.38259.gif&res=63&va=&cid=2wcfilejC0B4W-u1296440171

Saturn seems like it's been in my 7H forever. I came out of a relationship just before it hit my descendant three years ago, and it kickstarted a painful process to understand the way I relate to intimates. I have been single since then, only having a handful of flings that ended up going nowhere, or taught me yet another aspect of myself (usually painfully). I've had to become realistic about, and responsible for, my own intense emotional nature and also the loneliness that comes with it. I've also learnt a lot about the kind of person I want, and that I don't want to settle.

Despite a growth in my confidence and having few qualms about approaching the opposite sex when I'm interested, it seems that bad luck or bad timing have been continually getting in the way of forming any sort of real connection. Even when there is chemistry and possibility for something more, Saturn seems to be there, side of stage, pulling it just out of reach.

And soon it'll move into the 8th house. Should I be expecting more of the same? It seems like saturn approaching its return in the 8th can point to further frustrations.

I understand that people have to be self-sufficient and not rely on getting love from outside, but there is such a powerful drive inside me to find someone else, the right person, to share experiences with. It almost feels like I'm missing out on something very very important in my life. the funny thing is that it is my intense nature which both creates this drive and gets in the way of its fulfilment.

First off,what you must remember about transits is that,when a planet transits one house-it also affects the opposite house.

So what could happen is that you end up experiencing either both themes of the house affected i.e

If Saturn transits "shoots" at the 1st house,the 7th house is -by axis connection- also riddled with bullets .

In my case,Saturn is now entering the 7th house.When it was in the 6th house,I experienced a series of Saturn in 6th/12th house themes.

The other thing that I noted is that the events are not "linear" in occurrence. But have a "one side affects the other" impact.

You can't make sense of them as being representative of one theme because of the length of the Saturn transit.It's like they recur.

I am about to experience Saturn transiting the 7th now.I expect that the themes of the 1st/7th house will not hit me until 2015- where Saturn goes retrograde in mid March and direct in August.

When that happens,I expect that I will define myself(1st)by the relationships I make(7th).Or the relationships I have(7th) will define me in some way(1st).

I really can't say how right now. But until then,I will still be doing a "stock-take" of the issues of when my Saturn was in 6th/12th. What "lessons" were learned etc.

You,on the other hand will be facing Saturn in your 8th/2nd house issues.

I doubt anything significant will happen until the retrograde hit or when Saturn goes direct.

To show you the "domino" effect. Let us say that one has trans Saturn in 8th.

You could choose to focus on the partner to establish true "intimacy" in the relationship(Saturn in 8th).

And if you are single,you could be putting even more effort(Saturn) in finding a mate that provides the depth of intimacy that you crave(8th).

But what will happen is that your job front/ ability to make money(2nd)-will be affected also(Saturn opposing the 2nd).

You will have less discipline in applying yourself in making cold-hard cash if it means you go home to a lonely bed and life(Saturn in 8th).

Or

The other effect could be Saturn affects the opposite house(2nd) and the 8th house gets the short end of the stick i.e

One puts more hours into their work/making money(Saturn opposing 2nd house).

But this will cause you to have a sexless relationship/one that lacks intimacy(Saturn in 8th).

If single, you could feel even lonelier right now.Hugging the pillow at night and wondering why there isn't anyone "out there" for you.

The ideal here is to find a balance. Find a way to apply great passion in your day job/making money or managing your finance(2nd). As well as having the same enthusiasm for sex, intimacy and caring for your mate(8th).

If you are single,you may focus on self-pleasure and defining what "intimate" is for you-instead of looking for casual sex to provide the much intimacy you need(8th).
