Saturn to me is about being scrutinized and to a certain extent micromanaged. Its being put in a box and not allowd much room to maneuver. Its a time of feeling "stifled".Boundaries are set up, rules are forced to be obeyed, missteps are not taken lightly and firmly addressed.
It may be a time where towing the line, fitting your round piece into a square peg becomes an issue for you; do i confine? What do i lose if I don't?
Sympathy is not easily gotten from others or you may find it hard to access your sympathetic side to a point where even when you try, others question your sincerity and depth in the same manner that you may question theirs.
You may appear "heartless" to others or others may appear "heartless" to you. Obstacles show up in getting close to someone or a realization comes about of how others are not as close to you as you had assumed.
Saturn rules Cap and is exalted in Libra. And in my case, its the exalted Libra energy I feel is more telling. As Saturn is in the 7th natally and although also ruling the 10th and parallel the 11th house too. It is in the area of relationships that I feel the most scrutiny.
Prior to writing this, I got a call from a close friend (7th/11th) whom gave me a serious talk about how he feels I have transgressed boundaries when it came to his partner.
I was very surprised by the call and it had a certain "heaviness" that afterwards I couldn't make light of nor shake off. And that is really the nature of Saturn.
I had to restrain myself from taking what he said personally. As he tried to be tactful about it as I think it was just as challenging for him to talk about it as it was for me to hear it(Virgo Sun/Libra Moon).
As a Moon/Mars square individual its hard to mantain objective distance and I found myself asking: But what did I do wrong? And he on his end was emphasizing a line I had crossed that he was clear on but I was not.
Saturn on my Sun will add further pressure on me to conform,be criticized, reproached or "schooled" somehow. I see that as being the affect of the transit. More especially in the areas of relationships(Libra exaltation).
I may lose a relationship now or the sentiments may dry up. I thought the Venus-Saturn transit did all that. But I think i will feel it more with this one.
I may be harder on myself now and feel like i have to walk on eggshells around people just to get on. Meaning that much of my natural spunk (Sun)will be restrained.(Saturn)
I will especially cut back on posting here as there may be backlash/condemnation towards what I write in this public forum (Saturn rules my 10th) and so I will have to be extra vigilant in sounding glib/insensitive.
Sun/Mercury are parallel. Saturn conjunct Sun will affect both. Mercury parallel the Mc too and conjunct from the 9th. Words will be subject to criticism.
