Saturn in Cancer

Here is the translated text: Here, Saturn is visiting the Moon in the water element. In this position, Saturn is in exile. People with this Saturn position will always base their system of thought and worldview on the past and traditions. A very big influence on the formation of their system comes from their childhood and relationships with their parents. In fact, if Saturn is malevolent, such people's parents suppress them in childhood, and the strained relationships can so affect children with Saturn in Cancer that they will carry the burden of their parents' problems throughout their lives. Although it's not entirely clear whether this is a direct transmission of karma or whether it's passed on through the subconscious "recording" of such life scenarios in childhood, a very strong imprint of their parents' problems is left on these people. In some cases, they will experience a painful dependence on their parents, on some situations from the past, and may exhibit infantilism, nostalgia for childhood, and many childish infantile complexes, loneliness. For these people, it's very important to know their family history and, therefore, their system, the very core of their existence, relies on their relationships with their family and parents. Therefore, the influence of their parents' programming on them is very important. If Saturn is in your birth chart in Cancer, you may experience complexes that arose as a reaction to the disruption of the continuity of generations and connection with ancestors. In addition, you may develop a painful dependence on the past, some attraction to memories, nostalgia for childhood, youth, and often a dependence on your parents. If you were born in the 1973-75 generation, you probably had some bad luck with your parents, which led to infantile complexes, feelings of loneliness, nostalgia, and melancholy. In the best case, you may become an excellent historian, archaeologist, or a meticulous researcher of antiquity. It's precisely historians and archaeologists who turn out to be very good because their system is formed naturally, and such people intuitively feel and build historical systems, i.e., they invest the obtained facts in a certain system, which not every historian can do. In general, your system of values will be based on the past, and you will be rooted in it. You may be prone to seeking support in an unbreakable connection with your ancestors - this is your way of getting out of complexes, compensating for the initial damage to your natal Saturn. Thanks to this ability to look back, you possess an internal, unbreakable connection with the past, ancestors, family, traditions. In the worst case, you may be bothered by constant problems at home, in your country, or you may exhibit an intensified sense of nostalgia. A person with Saturn in Cancer finds it very difficult to reveal themselves, even internally, they feel a certain shell. However, through working with tradition, sources, history, and researching their own genealogical tree, they can get rid of their complexes. When transiting Saturn is in this position, all the problems of the past will come to the forefront of society. Old mistakes and crimes may resurface, and past sins will be remembered. In the worst case, nationalism, chauvinism, and genocide may be triggered, and there will be a rejection of historical roots. For Saturnians, it's very important to take into account the experience of the past, look back, and realize the mistakes made, and, based on this, return to their system of values.

Delay in expressing feelings and alienation from family members. This position leads to neurotic reactions. Early childhood and relationships with parents (with the mother) are often cold, strict, and problematic; later, this is reflected in psychological complexes and shyness, yet family ties are still taken seriously. There is a need for respect for one's person and family, and a deep secrecy of feelings from the public to maintain peace. Often, their sensitivity and need for recognition cause them to create a closed shell around themselves, preventing them from expressing warm feelings in personal relationships, which poses a danger to a stable family. They are cruel to subordinates and dependents but also protect them. They bear the burden of responsibility. While striving to have their own home and property, they encounter financial difficulties and domestic constraints. Often, living conditions are poor (small apartment). They are dependent, full of complexes, suspicious, depressed, and see everything in a negative light. They try to work from home. Sometimes, metabolic disorders lead to obesity and water retention in tissues. In others, conversely, there is emaciation to the point of a skeletal appearance. Gastritis, colitis, and in women, uterine diseases. Emotional hypersensitivity, a defensive stance, and a very strong attachment to material possessions are possible. You are frightened by the possibility of becoming emotionally dependent on others, and you maintain distance or deny your need for closeness and intimacy, thus becoming invulnerable to breakups and rejections. On the other hand, you may excessively cling to your loved ones and family, needing constant reassurances of love. Important tasks for you are developing a deep inner sense of security, as well as the ability to care for and accept care.

Saturn sets Cancer a strict framework of perception and especially self-expression, mostly unconscious. In addition, it gives rigidity to many subconscious programs, especially those related to emotional manifestations. The lower octave of this Saturn can give extraordinary cruelty and complete alienation from the victim; it is as if she finds herself in a different space and belongs to a different biological species. Here Saturn means the regression of emotional perception to lower primitive forms (sadism, etc.) and the crystallization of the corresponding subconscious programs, so that emotional development (not to mention the essence) is given with very great difficulty. On the other hand, a certain (violent) discipline that Saturn introduces into our intimate spheres of emotional and essential life gives, at least, the absence of many temptations, and with due humility and careful study, the result is a very serious and deep person who sees a lot and can express in a few precise words the subtle truth about the depths of the human soul. Processing here includes the removal (through awareness) of the clamps of perception, awareness of karmic prohibitions on some emotional joys (such prohibitions will certainly exist) and subsequent humility (and not the search for compensation: Saturn is not Jupiter, he loves hard work and humility, and one cannot count on undeserved luck here). Ignoring Saturn in Cancer leads to attempts at an exuberant emotional life, which soon becomes extremely depleted in range and becomes very chaotic for the owner of the aspect (i.e., his emotional channel is taken under control by a hard egregor). A person crystallizes and becomes an appendage of his emotions, which he does not control.

SATURN IN CANCER. Strong material interest with a desire to secure one's old age. In the chart - expressed slowness, stagnation, causing inner dissatisfaction or fear for the future. Increased sensitivity, susceptibility, and emotional responsiveness, calculativeness, and dissatisfaction with what one has. Often there is a sense of alienation from the family, which can be reflected in psychological complexes. A strong desire to have one's own property - a house with a plot, a garden, and a garden. Success may come from engaging in occult and esoteric sciences, scientific research, crafts, and hobbies in the field of applied sciences, applied art.

Speaks of obligations and worries related to immovable property, the domestic hearth, relatives or inheritance. If it is afflicted and in retrograde motion, Saturn sharply complicates the family situation, leading to great troubles. /Note: Paul Rieger says that retrograde Saturn, ruler of the Midheaven, in the 8th house, creates troubles related to parents or inheritance/. Very often this is an indication of increasing difficulties towards the end of the year. As a historical example of this configuration, one can take the SO029 of July 01942 of B.Mussolini, corresponding to the year of his unexpected fall 025.08.1943.

Children with Saturn in Cancer strive to strictly control their emotions, but have a deep need for emotional security. Emotional vulnerability can manifest itself in pretense: they pretend that feelings do not matter to them or are absent altogether, but in fact they can cry in their hearts for tenderness and love. These children constantly imagine themselves as parents - either in games or in actual caring for family members - or they may reverse the role and play a more helpless child than they really are, just to get attention.

This is a sign hostile to Saturn, which can be expressed in illnesses during childhood, frequent changes of place of residence, and a stubborn and pessimistic mindset. These people are restless and need money at times. Their sons bring them little happiness; they themselves lack good parental care. The texts mention dental diseases, psychic abilities and humane motives. These people serve faithfully if they are involved in any good deed.
