Saturn in Synastry

Look at this building! It is standing for now, doubtless people live in it. But I can almost guarantee that, in time, there will be a collapse. Should there be no earthquakes or tidal waves or major storms, it will stand strong- but the slightest nudge from outside will knock it down. Very much like a relationship with no foundation, no bones, no Saturn. To understand Saturn in synastry, we have to think like this- with practicality.

Saturn in synastry: Time Lord.

Saturn rules time, structure, discipline, rules and limitations. It can be the point where we hold back from the other, but it is also the taskmaster that ensures things are done *correctly*. We must remember how Capricorn, ruling sign of Saturn, presides over the skeleton- when it comes to the human body. These are the invisible, unglamorous but infinitely necessary structures upon which all other things rest. A human body without a skeleton would be a puddle, a building without foundations or adequate framework will hit the floor.

For there to be adequate Saturn in a synastry chart, I would want to see Saturn aspecting personal planets, or luminaries, or chart rulers. The harmonious aspects are easier to bear than the square, conjunction, inconjunction or opposition. When there is a LOT of Saturn, a lot of harsh Saturn in particular- that building is going to look more like a fortress or a jailhouse, that human body will begin to resemble someone in manacles.

Saturn in synastry: Helpful tips.

As always, it is helpful to work on one’s own Saturn in the natal chart in order to be good with Saturn challenges when they arise. I find Saturn not too easy to please, but easy to understand- Saturn simply requires commitment, self-discipline and patience. To get up with your alarm, to practice meditation and exercise daily, to actually go to work, to be a responsible human being and pay taxes etc- these are the things Saturn demands of us, and rewards well should we acquiesce. For if we neglect that side of things, we may just end up a human puddle with no direction in life or find that all our structures collapse!
