I’ve Always Hated “what Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger” - It’s So Much More Complicated

astro observations 4: saturnian frustration rant

As Saturn ruled people, we often get the same talk: life is harder for us, we are trailblazers, things slowly start to pick up for us after quarter life. We aren’t offered the same grace as others after messing up, karma hits us harder than others and we are often stuck in depressive ruts.

Yes, apparently karma also hits others hard when they do us wrong. Maybe I’m biased at the moment from my own experience, but it seems to hit us harder. Life just expects us to take it and go without any support.

I think, as a lot of us believe we have protections from our ancestors, that ours are not with us as much. There are the few who see that we have good intentions (those who have them) and are keeping an eye out for us, but the rest may judge or misunderstand what we are doing or thinking. As they say tradition is peer pressure from our ancestors.

Hopefully those of us who struggle with this at a younger age can get better and remember that life is what we make of it. As we are so tough, we can surely make it through the excess that life throws at us.

This being said, a prayer for those of us that we have lost. Hopefully they found peace where they are now.

Anyways. A quick and emotional post, hopefully there won’t be too many of these. Life can make us forget that it goes on for all of us. I hope all my fellow Saturn ruled kids can resonate with this and remember that life is not all about the struggles.

Nobody talks about how Venus Saturn aspect in a Natal chart can result in a lot of your friends bailing on plans with you, resulting in the Venus Saturn aspect native to feel lonely.

Saturn is Shame

The one thing I have uncovered over the years is Saturn represents Shame.

Saturns add an element of shame in some shape or form in the house itself, or when it's conjunct a planet. Especially when the planet represents a person in your life.

For instance, a Sun/Saturn conjunction can represent a shame aspect with the father/boss/authority figure. Often it is the father, however. Another way this is often seen is the person is inclined to feel shame just being themselves, perhaps feeling ashamed of how they want to express themselves, being blocked, etc. A Moon/Saturn can show the same things, but it can from the mother. For example, the mother can shame a person for their own emotions, opinions, needs for safety, etc. Saturn will cause this with any of the other planets that represent people. Mercury/siblings. Venus/spouse for a man. Mars/Elder Siblings. Jupiter/ Teachers, etc. When it comes to the house Saturn is in, think of the themes around that house for yourself. I have Saturn in the 1st house. I don't like photos of myself. I feel ashamed of my appearance and physical body. These are first-house qualities.
