With Saturn in Scorpio, it’s become necessary I come to terms with various painful realities. I see many of my clients, pressured in the same direction. This has been quite difficult, like trying to fit myself through the eye a needle. I don’t want to do it! It’s feels as if I am sending my self to slaughter, but I can see there is no other way, but through the meat-grinder and this makes it possible.
I have come to embrace this process. I don’t think it is inevitable, that I go through this. I could probably continue to tread water and deny various things, but I think I am better off to take the path of transformation, even if it’s difficult.
Can you relate to this? What have you learned with Saturn in Scorpio?

I can definitely relate! I’ve been trying to work out my marriage that has been in trouble pretty much the 15 entire years it has lasted. Finally having to accept – it isn’t going to work. Period. And the only way out is through the meat grinder. Scary! But has to be done.
I finally have begun to insert myself into the meat grinder. The worst part is the denial, anticipation, and treading of water. I have finally bit the bullet and begun the meat grinding process. I can truly say it isn’t as bad as I thought. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks………but at least now it will be over at some point now that the process has started. And I look forward to reaching the other side at some point. That part keeps me going.
So sorry to hear about you marriage Rachelj. And the same goes for everyone else. I hope you all can overcome the obstacles affecting our lives.
This is a first for me and I can’t describe how UNREAL all has been since October/September of last year. Nearly ALL has fallen apart for me, whether it ran away, was taken, or even borrowed and never given back. I HAVE to change my career and seek a new monetary avenue. I HAVE to change or amplify my approach to the world as a whole. There are no choices here. The path has been carved, orders given. I’m trying really hard to shutup and do as I’m told, which is hard because I don’t like being told what to do by someone I can’t see or hear. But I’m slowly opening my eyes and ears that which should listen to myself and take a good look in the mirror.
No one can carry your cross for you and vice versa. Life is essentially lonely.
Saturn has just gone into my 5th house and I have decided to halt dating and could not be any happier. 
I’ve lost an entire social circle this past year with Saturn entering my 11th, and strangely I don’t care (natal Uranus in 11th). There is definitely a clearing out happening. People who I truly loved but just don’t feel the same (or if they do they don’t show it). I need a lot of space. Saturn/Pluto are working my Uranus/Cap Moon sextile.
I can relate. This is coming. I’m trying to figure out a way to detach and remove myself without suffering. It’s not entirely that I want to go, I have to. Evolution time.
I have learned thus far, people are not what they seem and take everything with a grain of salt. I have also learned that people like to make up things in their own reality that does not have truth to it. I have learned through Saturn in Scorpio that I have finally kissed my childhood way of thinking goodbye! No one is innocent!
Saturn is transiting my 3rd house. So lessons in how I communicate and what I communicate and how people are taking it have been crucial! I love astrology and this blog! <3
It’s been an intense couple of months since Saturn entered Scorpio. Crossing my AC, Neptune, and heading for that Venus (square Uranus). Yes sir, I’m seeing myself, and it’s like jousting with myself while riding full speed. It’s amazing the clarity you can get when it’s rushing at you like that. There’s that choice in deciding to look it in the face or not that feels a little like russian roulette.
I’m getting information from people close to me, including my children, that is hard to take, so yeah, it’s been painful but important. I have also had to raise my game all around, which is “pushing my junk,” so to speak.
Saturn has spent most of its time in Scorpio in my 4th, and I’ve come to accept certain things about my mother and my family that, if I were under 30, I might feel compelled to just Neptune away.
saturn in scorpio in my 5th house..neptune in 5th house..we have a “slab leak” hot water leak somewhere under the house.(foundation)..no hot water to the tank…so no showers..too cold for a cold shower..this pisces sun ,moon, mercury girl not lovin it..lots of things breaking down in the house..but most of them being fixed by friends and good people who know what they are doing..but this leak is the worst…especially the unknown..where is it under the house?
This is impacting me the most in my work life. I am going to have to seriously take a stab at being an entrepreneur.
It’s in my 5th, squaring my moon, eventually my Saturn return, all forcing me to realize that I’m not a damn kid anymore. I’m not getting the same kind of support as I used to; I am getting better grown-up-treated-like-an-equal support but I’m not being let off the hook as much. In some ways it’s good. I’m not people pleasing anymore to get goodies. Those goodies are no longer forthcoming haha. The pattern no longer works and I suppose that’s a good thing. I am getting serious about two of my very strong passions/hobbies, taking steps to make them a way of life. Facing a bit of scrutiny and criticism because one of them is not at all mainstream and old family/friends are looking at me like I’m a hobo almost, but I know it is my path so I am not budging despite critism. I am also now interested in having kids sooner rather than later. It’s an interesting time. Rude awakenings, in the way I relate to people, what they actually think of me and what has actually been going on, in terms of energy exchange, what the actual energy exchange has been- me people pleasing or giving emotional support in exchange for others’ providing stability. Realizing that is not the healthiest dynamic and that I am to provide my own stability from now on. Enlightening actually. But painful. Definitely reality. Stark in a way that I haven’t seen before.
@MagicZara:
Why would you say you’d run away IF you were under 30?
I’m only asking because it’s in my 4th house as well, and I’m under 30 lol. Maybe I’m reading too much into your words.
Saturn in Scorpio in the 4th house. Yes, things are coming up.
I’ve had a premonition of this. And, when it finally hits you like a rock-don’t fight it. Find ways to flow with it, embrace it, work with it, most of all don’t no matter what push it or force it out of the mind-emotions. It is like were all living from the Star Wars Newest Addition, slowing being release and created through our energies of the cycles of astrology. It is a time to heal our wounds and help others when their ready, when nothing else helps. It’s as if this empty Divine force does what it does, without your consent or permission. And, most of all try not to dwell into the realms of blaming and praising. Sometimes, it’s easier to do, just to blame others for this transformation. Won’t work. Anger attitutes are just as destructive as anger emotions. This transformation may take a lifetime to finally acknowledge were being lived. The world-image is playing the roles of our opposite or twin. If you on a healing path of wisdom, their on a path of destruction, or visa versa. Ya, gotta be conscious and mindful with sharp listening skills, or you’ll be suckered in. Yep, since 2001, I’m still on the road to discovery who I am, and why I am here. Lovin’ it though!! Namaste <3
I looked up Lance Armstrong’s Chart since he has a witch hunt behind him and it’s all bubbling to the surface and found his Part of Fortune in the 12 house in SCORPIO! So here go you Mr. Armstrong… can’t cheat Fate. What was given if not appreciated must be taken back. Saturn in Scorpio….
I watched the interview with Oprah. I don’t think he get’s it yet.
But after Saturn’s through with him ….
he may get it, hopefully.
Saturn is on my moon mercury mars and neptune. It has spent several months just squeezing every drop of pleasure and meaning out of my life and making me feel much the victim. I did everything I could to avoid paying the piper this way, but it was inevitable.
Thank god my daughter didn’t remain in a coma, her arm didn’t remain paralyzed, and I didn’t remain broke and shaken and in a puddle on the floor.
I do think I want to stop trying to make a living and ride a bike around South America or Spain, though. So what if I am 51…
Hi, my Scorpio is in Saturn in the 7th House. I am 28, supposed to have my Saturn return in October, according to Western Calculations. However, my Saturn is a Singleton (3x the power) as the ONLY water sign in my Western Chart.
Also, the entire planet just transited into Saturn in Scorpio last year… So I am having my Saturn return at the same time as a local transit.
What I want to know is, is it possible to have an early return? The last three years of my life were devastating, I was in a hospital non-stop, love didn’t work out, 5 people were stabbed or died right in front of me (or were Shot.) And it’s sad to say, I’m almost used to it! My entire family had problems, including a friend having a Stroke, my grandma having a Stroke that left her hospitalized (maybe permanently!) and my mom dying of pre-cancer.
Also, I am still sick (had Crohn’s since age 12, abusive family, and a rock-solid sinus impaction that doctors have been unable to locate since age 25, for the past three years, that is jammed in the back of my throat, clogging my singing voice, which was the only thing that got my through my painful, abusive past.) Also, I had a miniature Psychotic Break that left me 3 months in a Psychiatric Unit (Hallucinating, Schizophrenia), and eventually a jail for three months because I accidentally punch a nurse out.
Is there anything I can do about this?? And how are my marriage prospects.. I am a Leo Sun/Taurus Rising/Taurus Moon! The rest of my chart is Virgo or Sagittarius (again, Western Calculations, not Vedic.) as well as one sign in Libra.
I have lived my entire life for Love, and all I seem to suffer is betrayal, it doesn’t seem real anymore, just a biological game we play with ourselves, based on mutual psychology, which eventually ends in cheating, or death, or divorce (which is worse??).
My health is barely holding, my gf left me for another man over Valentine’s. My family’s gone, my voice is gone, body in pain, and I walked ten miles a day on a punctured gut last year, only to end up hospitalized and undergoing my 18th or 19th Surgery Straight. In my life!!
–And I am wondering whether it is worth it.
Worse, I HAD a Destiny, I was born Knowing. And this Psychotic Break took that away with Hallucinations, as well as losing my Voice. Now I have to Question what is real?? My message. Or what I Heard or Saw in Visions (I had a Christian vision, and strongly resent Fundamentalism due to being raised by a town of Mormons, and abused by Religion in the utmost. Parent tapes?? Maybe. Have to find out.).. :/ What to do!?? I had a Message! For this world.
I need to know what to do, how to face my dark side, how to get rid of my father’s influence (some of behavior started mimicking my abuser as I speak this, and I have to come to terms with this, or Fight it.)
And worse, did I have an early Saturn return!?? Is it possible???
And if it gets any worse, in October, I have to prep myself… :/
Namaste,..

Yes, the painful reality is life can be painful. I’m learning there is no guarantees to what it will be like to age or where I get to be as I do it. Saturn and Scorpio and Pluto play big in my chart so the compression and loss is life-long. Through this transit I see how to make sense of lo and make art, creative forms of meat loaf you might say.
And, when I freak myself out because I don’t want to look foolish? Well, medication helps if I remember to take it. Neptune in the 9th helps to allow for transformative thinking:)
