Hey Elsa,

Your son is lucky to have a savvy and empathetic astrologer for a mom! Parenting is such a trip. Damian will be 8 on October 13, and his Saturn is also in Taurus (in the 12th house conjunct the Asc) and the focal point of a yod inconjunct the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Sag. He also has mercury in Scorpio in the 6th. He is all too aware on a conscious level of his limitations and difference – understands the fragility and nebulousness of his physical existence – and like your son – wants to take care of himself. He holds back the emotions and tears when hurt and really sucks it up when he feels isolated and insecure. My heart breaks sometimes…..

Oh, little chap! Your family is a beautiful creation, Elsa. Out of curiosity, which house is his Sun in?

not me, but a close friend. she has a sun/saturn trine. the sense of parental betrayal (without actual betrayal) as well as the growing up fast and needing to “be the adult” wherever she was is a prominent theme in her life. and it can be such a trial to get her to ask for help when she needs it.

interesting with a sun opp saturn aspect, i was constantly being told by parents and relatives that i was “growing up too fast”. if only they knew the pressure i was under to do so. i guess my folks wanted their children to be both very independent and beholden to them at the same time. a very difficult act to pull off. one of the reasons for my emotional immaturity, i suppose

i’ve said it before and i don’t mind saying again, Elsa your son is going to do fine. i mean the fact that you even take into account his life history and where it has lead him to be who he is at present is for me a-maz-ing!

thanks for sharing this story

It’s Nice to see this on here. I got a Saturn/Sun conjunct in Scorpio located in the 1st house. Your Son seems like he is going to have a good head on his shoulders.(I turned out pretty damn level headed with the crap I endured) Thanks Elsa.
