Saturn in Scorpio

Saturn in Scorpio - in a water sign, in the house of Mars and Pluto, is a very interesting placement. The system of such a person is formed only after they have passed through prolonged and extreme tests, because that is how Mars and Pluto affect Saturn. Prolonged and serious tests will always contribute to the formation of your life system. You often find yourself face to face with death or on the brink of serious losses. Your system of values is tested by other forms of life from another world, creating completely unique criteria for moral and spiritual values. In the best case, you can be an investigator of hidden circumstances, the most difficult places in life, some abysses, the innermost part of life, extreme situations, knots of problems. You can be a great psychologist, familiar with the most unpleasant and terrifying aspects of human psychology. As a rule, these are very strong people, who are not broken by any tests, with a complete lack of fear. You may be able to subject everything to research, penetrating to the very essence of the most difficult phenomena, even if these researches may threaten you with death, heavy defeats. You must and will go through all the dirt, burning it and remaining unharmed. The most difficult tests will not break you, and often you seek them yourself. You have no fear of anything and no forbidden topics that have not been thoroughly researched. These people are not abstract, there is a completely clear and specific research here. They often research areas of life related to death, and they always go through the problems of another world, or even have contacts with another world. In the best case, you will never use the acquired knowledge for evil, although you will be drawn to researching magic, energy, death, and what is hidden and mysterious for others. If you are highly developed, you can renounce everything earthly for this. If Saturn is evil, then, as a rule, this consciousness is acquired after heavy tests. Your system may be built on other, non-material values. Earthly values have already lost their meaning, and you are ready to renounce them, possibly building your system according to completely different - higher criteria, orienting yourself to untarnished spiritual values. Your system will often be tested for strength when it comes into contact with another world. For your own development, you can treat yourself harshly, studying and researching your vices and complexes, and ruthlessly destroying them. In the worst case, this ruthlessness will be transferred to other people. Not finding a higher system of values, you can become a nihilist and pessimist, lose faith in the possibility of changing anything, fixate on grievances, becoming a destroyer, vengeful, and fanatical. All earthly people destroy because they consider it to be meaningless. They also seek, but simply do not find a higher system of values, and the earthly one does not suit them because there is no meaning in it. On this basis, fanatics and villains grow up. In general, for people with Saturn in Scorpio, the motto is: "What does not destroy me, strengthens me." Therefore, you are a tester of any life system for its life strength and value. In a negative case, a person rejects the system not by life, does not try it on themselves. If you have lived in this system, lived in other systems, and stopped at one, you can be sure that the life system is strong and solid. In the best case, you are absolutely without fear of death and destruction, and you can be absolutely fearless and go to all lengths to achieve your goal. Going through death, through the problems of another world, through what seems incredible to others, is quite normal for you. You should remember that any most difficult test can be calculated in advance and prevented from happening, and if with an evil Saturn it is inevitable, try to accept it as a blessing, as a lesson - then it will lose its destructive power. Saturn in Scorpio teaches bravery, orientation to higher values, and the destruction of everything that has outlived its time. In society, during the transit of Saturn through the sign of Scorpio, an extreme form of destructiveness, as well as a need for higher development, may manifest. A ruthless separation from the past must take place - everything that hinders development must be destroyed.

An unintegrated Saturn gives Scorpio great rigidity: in perception, expression, and subconscious programs. Here, the phase of the gray lizard is particularly prolonged and tormenting. Saturn also emphasizes Scorpio’s ruthlessness, both toward others and themselves. When Saturn is afflicted, neither the external nor the internal world satisfies the person completely—and, it must be said, they have some grounds for this. It is crucial here to resist the brink of nihilism and realize that this position of Saturn actually signifies greater responsibility for one’s behavior, particularly—and especially—regarding attention in all situations. Saturn restricts both the perception and expression of emotions, which flow only through a limited spectrum of narrow channels that are difficult to work through (hence emotional frustrations or emotional coldness). Yet, through the channels that have been worked through, Scorpio’s transforming influence flows powerfully and crudely. The integration of Saturn in Scorpio occurs along three lines. First, the Saturn-ruled Scorpio begins to understand that many limitations are imposed either by themselves, the past, or society—but in any case, they can be overcome by cultivating a sense of responsibility for one’s actions and energy. Second, they begin to value their limitations, recognizing that they have a karmic nature, i.e., they organize life by preventing distractions. And third, they learn to channel strong energetic flows through their narrow but precisely directed channels, but at a high level (in psychoanalysis, this is called sublimation), thereby resolving the issue of self-expression and adequate influence on the environment. A harmonious Saturn grants Scorpio the sense of responsibility and moderation so necessary to them, though the limitations and problems described above remain, albeit in a softened form. When integrated, this placement produces true magicians capable of deep and precise transformation of any reality, whether coarse or subtle.

Responsibility, efficiency in financial matters (associations, societies, taxes, inheritances, insurance, etc.). Stubbornness in business. Seriousness to the point of melancholy.

Very energetic in achieving concrete successes. Successes come after difficulties. Responsibility is taken so seriously that it becomes a burden. We must learn to approach our responsibilities calmly and methodically. Thoroughness, perseverance, determination are the qualities necessary for success. They love authority and are ready to fight to satisfy their ambitions. In this case, unauthorized means may be used. If you bypass them, they are vindictive and know how to fanatically adhere to the principle. Intrigue, inability to forget long-standing grievances, and an instinctive need for revenge are possible. A sad experience of love, death unexpected and under mysterious circumstances. You both strive and are afraid to be open to others, to be in close emotional contact. It is not easy for you to trust others, to allow yourself to be known deeply, and as a result there may be difficulties in your sex life. You are constantly concerned about how to protect yourself and can be very secretive. An important task for you is to learn not to control yourself in personal relationships, to be completely open. On the health side - constipation, hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, tissue hardening with age, sclerosis.

Saturn gives a strong will, which always increases together with increasing difficulties: expressed tenacity and perseverance, which is the guarantee of successful social ascent and material well-being. To a great extent, a discerning mind of a philosophical nature and business acumen are helpful here.
