StephB writes on Saturn Leaves Libra… 7 years:

You mentioned reflecting on what’s happened in the 4th, 5th, and 6th houses (from the natural chart, right?). But would it be more important to reflect on the last three houses that Saturn has transited in our own chart? In other words, are we still climbing the (natural chart) mountain even if Saturn is actually descending on our natal chart?

StephB - no, it doesn’t translate. The quadrants are defined as shown in the diagram. In other words, houses 5, 6 and 7 so not represent a quadrant.

The situation outlined in the post applies to everyone. It affects the collective. When you use your own chart, it is more personal.

For example, I have Saturn transiting my 9th now and have to watch what I publish, etc. But I am still part of the collective. I am sorry if this is hard to understand. It’s advanced astrology I guess, but here’s another example:

When Saturn transited Virgo we all watched our mouths and paid mind our diet - the govenrment got involved in health care, and cars etc. and these things affected us all.

But personally Saturn was transiting my 8th house and I have dealt with very heavy loss during this period. I have also combined resources with the soldier, learned to manage my intense energy and dealt with the shadow side of almost everything… and communicated it to an extent.

So that’s that. Quadrants (7 years chunks) don’t apply to me personally a this time as nothing is crossing an angle however I am part of the collective (and sensitive to it) so I am well aware of the cracks in the foundation.

As another example, when Pluto hit Capricorn, it crossed an angle in the natural chart. We are seeing the shadow side of government, big business and parenting and this effects us all.

Personally, Pluto is transiting my 12th house and the result is extreme sensitivity (no boundaries) between me and collective. I also see that I have to serve (12th) with Pluto energy or I will suffer.
