Astrology-Based Advice: Devastating Young Life – Sexual Abuse, Parents Dead: Sun Conjunct Saturn In Scorpio
Dear Elsa,
I have had problems in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents died when I was young, I was sexually abused as a child, I never lived in a place for more than 2 years, and I ran away at 16. However I remained a fairly happy child through all this.
Now as an adult, I’m constantly fighting fits of depression or incredible anger. One moment I’m fine, the next I’m blowing up at my husband because he pronounced a word wrong (or something else small like that). I feel like I’m never truly happy and I don’t know how it that is, now that I have everything I’ve wanted for so long (a family and security).
I also have a tendency to pretty much live in the past. I just can’t let it go. Is there something wrong with me or is it part of my destiny to suffer?
In Pain
Dear In,
No, I don’t think it is your destiny to suffer, I think it’s your destiny to heal and beyond that to help others heal. Who better for that than you? With your vast experience of suffering you are uniquely positioned, don’t you think? I do. But let me address some of these other things.
Your experience is common for survivors of abuse. You finally get yourself to a place where you have a modicum of security and this is when the shit hits the fan. Because prior to this time, you are functioning in some sort of survival mode. Functioning highly too, something you should be proud of. But now it’s time to heal.
Pluto, Saturn and Mars: Power, Responsibility and Volatility
“Anakin, how many times have I told you to stay away from the power couplings?”
–Obi Wan Kenobi
There’s a thread on the boards discussing the situation where a dentist vengefully extracted her ex’s teeth. It got me to thinking. I believe I know what I would do because I’ve been in a reasonably similar situation. However, the puzzle I found interesting was in trying to put together what astrological energies go into producing each individual’s reaction to such stimuli. You can never truly know what anyone will do, but you can see what they’re likely to do.

Mercury In Aspect to Saturn – Boundaries, It’s Not Such A Bad Deal
1 minute astrology
From 2008 – comments regarding Saturn in aspect to Mercury aka having control of your mouth and your mind.
More on this topic – Astrology and (Real Life) Intelligence
I was talking to my friend, Ben, the other day. He was telling me about a man he’s known for about 20 years or so. This man compares himself to others.
Apparently he was born to privilege so he’s never had to work. Ben said he’d done nothing all his life but look at others and feel himself superior.

This is from 2008. My husband and I were coming off years of intense difficulty, the kind you don’t even speak of.
“I wouldn’t worry about that,” I said. “We are in impossible conditions, trying to have a life. I have been in impossible conditions myself, for 9 years. The conditions were completely impossible but I still managed to have some kind of life.”

Karma and Consequences Mild and Severe: Saturn in the Natal Chart?
Ask the Collective
I have a friend who is cautious because whenever he tries to shirk anything, he’s typically caught and the consequences are generally severe.
I, on the other hand, get away with almost everything. When I am caught the consequences are what would be expected some of the time, but frequently they are light and even more frequently they are waived all together.

nutsy called himself “standoffish” on the Obnoxious board post and started me thinking. Most of us have some kind of defense against rejection. If you have Capricorn in your chart, this goes double. In thinking about this, I realized that my defense online is very different than my defense in real life.

Relationships: Saturn, Structure And Security
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”
–Khalil Gibran
Saturn contacts in synastry are relationship glue, attachments that hold it together. They also show restriction and pressure, restriction to the energy of the planet they aspect and pressure to learn and mature. Sometimes pressure will mold things into a more mature form and other times it crushes or pushes away. In any case it brings serious attention to whatever it touches.

History Repeats… 28.5 Year Saturn Cycle Update
Astrology in real life
In 2009, I wrote about how I saw history repeating – The 28 1/2 Year Saturn Cycle: History Repeats – A Personal Story Of The Cold War, The Iran Hostage Crisis, Jim Jones… And Love Unending. I wondered at that time if the trend would continue and how it might be impacted by my marriage.
My husband and I could have married when we were kids. We did not and so our lives took the courses they took. Given a second chance we did marry and I wondered what effect it would have.  Would it set up a new cycle?

Saturn Aspecting Personal Planets
“A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.”
–Oliver Wendell Holmes
Saturn is responsibility, slow-down, restriction, “do the right thing,” and judgement. Saturn in the houses will show where we have responsibility, but it doesn’t necessarily show how we treat that responsibility or how we feel about it. Do you have Saturn aspecting a personal planet? Do you judge yourself?
