I, always, get hostile feedback when I use the terms negative and positive. I do think there are blessings and curses. The curses may, indeed, make us stronger. They may, indeed, lead us to God. However, they are very difficult and they are a challenge. Perhaps, I should use the word “challenging” instead of negative. I will give you that, but squares and oppositions do not allow for change. One must work around them.

Back to Saturn in synastry. Saturn in trine or sextile is a good kind of glue. It holds people together, but does not feel like a prison. Saturn in hard aspect may hold people together, but it may feel like a prison. With Saturn, the conjunction is a hard aspect.

NOW, the big question is “Can a Saturn conjunction be good?” The answer is yes, given certain conditions. The conditions are that there is enough love and simpatico to overcome the strict parent quality that the Saturn brings to the planet( or angle person). The angles are the Ascendant, Descendant, IC and MC.

I just met a lovely girl whose boyfriend’s Saturn conjuncts her Sun, exact. She likes the parental traits he brings to her. She likes someone to help her discipline herself because she finds it difficult to do, on her own. Hence, a Saturn conjunction works for them. However, they, also, have many loving and deeply bonding aspects, such as Moon conjunct Moon. Without these, Saturn in conjunction would, likely, feel like an unwanted bondage.

My Saturn squared his Pluto (1'20"). I haven't found much textbook advice on how this is supposed to play out, but in my (perhaps malinformed, so please correct me) interpretation I think this aspect manifested as me restricting him a lot. I was possessive and jealous, hated when he hung out with his friends instead of me, especially female friends, etc. But I was also an insecure Taurean teenager! Haha. However, he was definitely transformed by our relationship, especially in 8th house kind of themes. I think my parental discipline and restrictions helped him personally even as they hurt our relationship.

His Saturn also aspected my Pluto, but it was looser and sextile (2'31"). We pretty much fit this textbook description (from livevisionz.com): "Self discipline and the ability to set and reset boundaries give you both a great deal of endurance and staying power. You are committed to your partner and to your ideal of relationships, determined to secure yourselves in the face of an uncertain future by relying upon each other. You are deeply bonded to one another. You face the same trials and opportunities. If your romantic partner's Pluto is sextile your Saturn, you can help your partner regain direction and see him/her through to the accomplishment your mutual goals."

His Saturn also loosely sextiled my Mars (2'22"). He was very supportive of my professional and creative pursuits, and I was very supportive of his. It's definitely part of what bonded us together.
