Hello, everyone I have a lot of Saturn in my chart and I have always felt like I don't fit in with my generation. The values, morals, etc that they have, I do not. I feel like I should've been born a few decades earlier. I also feel uptight and dull around most people because I take life too seriously 99.98% of the time.

I have:

Saturn square Ascendant
Saturn square Sun
Saturn trine Moon
Saturn trine Mercury
Saturn trine Venus
Saturn square Mars
Saturn trine Jupiter
Saturn square Pluto
Saturn trine vertex

All of this wrapped up in a Scorpio stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto), 6th house. Pluto is the ruler of my 7th. Saturn is the ruler of my 9th house.

Anyone with a ton of Saturn in their charts and have experienced this?

Does it get better with age?

I'm content with who I am as a person, but most of the time, I stay to myself because I don't fit in with most of my peers. I'm not antisocial or 'lame'. I'd just rather keep my distance. I'm a junior in college so it has gotten easier since my younger days.

Hi Yarmouth,
I have several Saturn aspects, and I feel oder than my age. I get along with people of my age, but I think I prefer older people. I don't think it's bad thing though. Older generation are awesome anyway, I find current trend (music, movie, fashion) not my cup of tea.
Hey maybe you can join a classic movie club or something like that? Something you like? That way you could find like minded people and doing what you enjoy

Yarmouth? Haha.

But yes, I have an extreme dislike for a lot of the trends & music in my generation. Sometimes I wish I could fit in though because it certainly gets lonely not being able to relate to the majority of the people in your age group.

A classic movie clubs sounds awesome.

I love old movies, music, people, etc. History is actually my favorite subject.

I wonder if dominant Saturn people have this in common?

Saturn sextile ASC

Saturn sextile (5H Sag) the following:
moon
Mars
Uranus
Neptune
Ceres and Eros

Saturn conjunct the following in 3H Libra on the Scorpio Cusp:
Sun
Mercury
Venus
Pluto

Jupiter also in Scorpio along with Pallas. I'm sure it has an affect and it does seem to help me with positive transformations (though it pushes them on me even when I don't want it to).

I've definitely marched to the beat of a different drummer...however, I'm generally glad I didn't grow up in previous generations, it sounds terrible (glad I'm not a kid today, however), though I get along with older (and younger) gens well enough and love history, especially first hand accounts of it when possible, and can enjoy that which was from the 1920s to what just came out today (music, cartoons, books, movies, etc), though in part it's because it gives me a window into the zeitgeist, though I can sometimes enjoy it for its own sake as well. I also don't take life that seriously, though I took it more seriously when I was younger than I do today, yet not as serious as you by the sound of it (thanks, Sag).

I do expect you'll find life gets easier as you get older, both because you'll grow (hopefully), and also because you will have a lot more power to control your environment and choose your friends so that it can suit you more. I don't care what you're like, you can always find people to relate to. Even people who obviously need to be locked up (like a guy who'd stop his car because someone was "following too close behind" and try to get the other driver out so he could physically attack him) have people they can hang with. Even the most toxic people seem to find people to be with, even if it's only to shriek at each other.

Hmph, there I go thinking the problem is you don't have enough people you can feel comfortable with! Well as for uptight, dull, and too serious, I don't know (and it's all relative anyway). I suppose it would depend on if you can find peace or "prove yourself" to yourself. Some change a lot for better and for worse and others don't. I don't what will happen to you, but I expect one way or another you're gonna get a major change in your life and that will change you as a person, including how you relate to life in general...at least if you let it.

I have saturn-asc, -sun, -mercury. Sun-pluto and cap stellium. Saturn is in my 10th.


I can get along with people my age as in being functional with them. But I don't really care about what most of them care for and it's somewhat difficult if I live in a small town/more isolated location. I have noticed I prefer the cities better because I am able to find people who share my interests and I typically maintain friendships with people who have some heavy pluto or saturn aspects.

I think as you get older, you just find your group of people more easily because when we are younger, we are grouped with our age group and do not get to explore the world on our own.


My close friends and I feel like we are "over" our age group in a sense, but no harsh feelings as with anything saturn and pluto, you grow and learn to accept.

I have Saturn conjunct ASC--it makes me look and seem very reserved...but I also have Sun conjunct Uranus--so little do they know!

But for the most part, I am reserved and it takes a while for people to get to know me...

Saturn conjunct Sun (7th ruler), Mercury(5th and 8th ruler), Venus, square Pluto, opposite Chiron and in the 1st house.

Saturn features very strongly in my chart. I feel the heart-pounding anxiety and insecurity that engulfs me when I come close to speaking my thoughts and ideas in front of a crowd (conj. Mercury Rx). I feel the seriousness infused in every joke I tell. I feel the unbearable heaviness in my feet as I try to dance and let loose, it always starts this way (Saturn in the 1st). But I love dancing way too much to let Saturn stop me. (5th Moon trine 1st Mars)

To be honest, I think all this Saturn in my chart is a curse and a blessing. I feel incongruent and strange for a person of my generation. My values, too, are quite serious, mature, and conservative. I am very uptight in so many ways (conj. Sun). That's not to say that there isn't a playful bone in my body, sure there is... But, especially with men, it doesn't go far until Saturn "ruins" it for me (conj. Venus).

I feel like a walking contradiction. I seem like one thing but am a total other. I have a thirst for absolute openness but I am often closed. I can be flirty and fun but I can never commit because of how seriously I take it.

I do feel like an outcast. I am reminded of this every time I have to consciously take note of the effort I put to relate to others. The feeling of forcedness that sneaks its way into every interaction and conversation.

If there's anything I read that has given me hope, is that Saturnine folk are much akin to Benjamin Button, they become "younger" with time and more jovial and carefree as Saturn has taught its tough lessons and sheds its burdens. I look forward to that time in my life.

I can totally relate to everything you've said.

I have mercury(r) as well & it's trine my Saturn. I had to take a speech class last semester & although it was painful, it taught me a lot about courage. I developed a ton of strength from that public speaking class even though I'm soooooo glad it's over!

Ummmm.. I think you misinterpreted my post or took it to the extreme.

I do accept myself as who I am. I'm just simply sharing how I feel in relation to others & if anyone else feels that way with a lot of Saturn in their charts.

As far as "changing for the better", I don't need to change anything. I'm not hiding from myself. I am just comparing myself to my peer group & I've come to the conclusion that we simply do not relate.

I apologize if my post was a little on the negative side because that wasn't my intentions while writing it.

Saturn definitely adds a serious awkwardness to a young person I see...

I guess we get better with age like fine wine

You describe yourself as dull and uptight which did sound as if you weren't that accepting of yourself.

So what were you hoping "gets better with age" then?

most saturnian people are self-critical and sometimes we get tired of living the way we do ... Not that we do not accept ourselves. It just that anything saturnian will be a constant process of re-examination for the lessons we are supposed to learn...

Ah, so you're wondering if self-examination that can get critical gets better with age.

I don't think so. It hasn't for me. That said, I see the positive side of it.

Btw, an entire generation doesn't have the same values, morals, etc. They don't today and they never did. You have your rebels and conformists, bold and squeamish, cruel and kind, puritan to hypersexual, and plenty (especially as kids) will shift from one to another. Granted, the zeitgeist exist but there are so many cliques and subcultures that one can't make sweeping statements about the morals and values of them all and expect to be accurate.

Even the school I went to that had I'd guess about 50 for middle school had various cliques with wildly varying values and morals between them. Heck, same is true of my extended family there. I can say I didn't "fit in" overall but there were still those I could relate to or at least feel comfortable with and that was enough for me and I expect that would be true of about any generation.

Hi,

I've got Saturn conjunct Moon and Mercury, square Jupiter and opposite Chiron. Plus it's in my 7th house, so it's exalted by house.

I definitely view myself as a realist and I can get very depressed and lonely. There's always hope though, that's my persisting and overall belief. I seriously make sure to have fun with what I love. I hold everything to certain standards because I want to strive for the best at being absolutely ridiculous and clever at the same time. I want to build something people aren't allowed to fathom.

I think it's because my Moon, Mercury and Saturn are deposited and aspected by Jupiter in Sag. Overall Jupiterian. I can definitely understand feeling too serious but try to find something that you can lend your talents too and you'll start to feel like you belong. Also, keep hobbies that you enjoy doing!

There are times when I'm critical of myself, there are times when I'm not.

I think one of the things to "learn" is to be comfortable with saturn and what it brings to the table. It's not gonna go away. Once I became ok-ish with it then everything else started to look reasonably easy.

I don't really feel old fashioned, for me it's a lack of self esteem.
I've also had depression pretty much my whole life. I feel weighed down.

As for the decade I'd prefer? I wish I was born where the grass is greener. Doesen't matter where or when.

It occurs to me that my 3H Libra (Scorpio cusp) Saturn in stellium may have been behind a lot of conflict with school and neighbors when I was younger, especially combined with my Pluto (power it up) and Mercury (speak it) in the same stellium...all this time I thought it was the fire of Leo & Sag along with the Scorpio energies seeing through and cutting BS but Saturn in 3H with Libra makes sense, too. 'Course it all likely plays a part (that and I'm Dog in the Chinese system).

Also when I got older. For example, conflicts over trash in a bad neighborhood, I didn't like that most people were content to live in a trash heap, and I let it be known while also doing what I could to clean it up. And I could go on.

But another recent observation is that it's possible the reason I always had some close friends but also people who tested me and mine is the Libra stellium that includes Venus AND Saturn as well as Pluto to intensify it (which Scorpio Jupiter would also push).

Yeah I've always had self-esteem issues too. Saturn in 2nd house of self-worth. Saturn sure does make you question yourself that's for sure. I don't have as much Saturn going on as some people but that damn planet does rule my life. Capricorn rising and life path number 8 are both Saturn's babies so that makes me one D; lol.

I've always felt kind of like an outcast from not her people but I realized that those feelings are what makes one an outcast. Whatever you feel creates your reality so feeling like no one likes you pretty much tells the universe you don't like yourself and feel no one else should like you. Saturn sure is hard to deal with but once you can actually understand what its trying to teach you, then whole new levels of understanding and wisdom open up for you.
