Sun Square Saturn

The square of the Sun: One should never blame the mirror under any circumstances. The square of the Sun places the planet under the impact of disharmonious impulses of human will and imperative external circumstances. At the same time, the person, of course, is not inclined to consider their volitional manifestations disharmonious, and at a low level, they will not notice their own rudeness, harshness, or incompetence, but will very subtly sense these qualities in the environment and other people when the planet’s principle is activated. At the second and third levels of processing the square, the person may feel as though they have external and internal enemies of the planetary principle whose goal is to prevent them—sometimes in the crudest form—from manifesting. For example, in the case of a square between the Sun and the Moon, the person may, as if against their will, occasionally commit rude mistakes and tactlessness in their dealings with women and may secretly fear and dislike them, while at the same time feeling a strong pull toward them, since their inner image of the mother-woman will be significantly distorted and active. If the Sun is in Aries, aggression and sharpness are likely; if in Pisces, false positions and false initiatives with unpleasant consequences, and so on. Here, the karmic program dictates that the person is assigned strict limitations on the freedom of volitional expression and initiative in the spheres governed by the planet, while requiring the highest manifestations of the solar principle—namely, constant impersonal attention to what is happening in the planet’s spheres. External initiative is permitted only when forced by external circumstances, and even then only to a minimal degree, since it generally leads to disharmonious consequences. From the perspective of inner development, this aspect is very promising in terms of acquiring (in the sphere of the planet’s influence) true power over oneself and transitioning to service to a higher egregore, which signifies a more creative and internally free life. With good energy, one can attempt to master the disharmonious external will and redirect it away from oneself toward others—a lesson from the dark teachers, especially in the case of a pronounced square between the Sun and the higher planets. Processing this aspect grants the ability to work subtly, following the faintest indications of a higher egregore, to weave the finest threads of karma, sometimes concerning a distant future. The square of Saturn: The steps of the evolutionary ladder are not carpeted. The square of Saturn places the person in the spheres of the planet’s influence with the problem of deep immersion in oneself, developing inner discipline, and seeking truth in silent concentration. Here, the issue is that, on the one hand, the person is drawn to the planetary principle, wishing to deeply understand and master it, while on the other, attempts at such study encounter the strongest resistance—both external and internal. The study itself proves to be very difficult, requiring far more concentration and effort than the person currently possesses, and, in addition, chaotic external and internal forces constantly pull them away from this pursuit. After several unsuccessful attempts, the planetary principle (and, to a large extent, all spheres of its influence) becomes frozen and is perceived by the person as unattainable, though subconsciously it is intensely desirable. The subconscious reacts with various mechanisms that tie the person to this disharmonious situation, such as the emergence of salvific inferiority complexes and neuroses that protect them from situations that would activate the planet but unfortunately come with various side effects (e.g., an elevated general level of nervousness, meaning constant readiness for trouble, which in turn raises blood pressure, etc.). If the planet in the square is stronger, it may replace part of Saturn’s purely Saturnian spheres with its own principle, suppressing discipline and concentration. For example, a square between Venus and Saturn with a strong Saturn may result (at a low level) in harshness and rudeness in social contacts and love, while with a strong Venus, it may instead produce frivolity and indiscrimination in relationships (especially if the square is in a mutable cross). In either case, the person’s heart will remain frozen. The square of Saturn makes the unhindered expression of the planetary principle impossible; here, the person requires wisdom and precise adherence to the karmic program, which, unfortunately, is very subtle and convoluted at this point. The situation is akin to being asked to carve wood with an axe or to dance a ballroom dance in a diving suit. When the person begins, every movement is crude—harsh and unsatisfactory from any perspective—but the desire to learn and ambition may be very strong. Much depends on the person themselves, their inner honesty, and their general drive to actualize themselves and participate in the evolutionary process (as they understand it). Processing the square of Saturn grants the person subtlety, wisdom, and the ability to see and help develop corresponding abilities in others when those abilities are still unnoticed by anyone else.

These aspects indicate a limited ability for self-expression, with an emphasis on childhood and adolescence - for example, studying and family life are given with great difficulty. However, in adulthood, such people acquire colossal experience necessary for an objective analysis of various professional and official situations. Only after acquiring a taste for success and winning several times in a row does such a person feel the necessary confidence in their own strength. Relationships with the father are very important, and an early loss of the father is not excluded. Sometimes, limitations are associated with physical disabilities and bodily ailments, as well as overall weakness of vitality. Marriage to an older partner is not excluded. The life of such a person is often full of disappointments and losses, ailments and injuries, worries and sorrows. There is a lack of willpower and life force to fulfill all their desires. Support from parents is minimal, and with a strong Saturn, ego-centrism, fearfulness, stinginess, and obstinacy are formed over the years. Serious illnesses in early childhood are possible, and complications of a material and financial nature in old age are not excluded. Often, such people have to pay a lot of attention to their parents due to a weakening of their health. A lack of reciprocity in love and disharmony in marriage is often noted, with the partner being a power-hungry and rigid ego-centrist. Rarely does such a person limit themselves to one marriage - or they may not enter into marriage at all. Personal self-expression encounters various obstacles, and therefore, life is perceived by such a person as full of hardships and deprivations of a material or emotional nature. It is necessary to develop strict self-discipline, endurance, and patience, and one must be prepared for the fact that everything will have to be achieved through their own labor, passing through frequent losses and deep disappointments.

Ignorance, passivity, sluggishness, selfishness, coldness, insensitivity, rationality, joylessness, stinginess, greed, avarice, indifference, suspicion, skepticism, unbelief, mistrust, disappointment. Depression, suppression, tendency to see the bad, tendency to whine, hostility, isolation, unsociability, unfriendliness, disagreement, discord, objection, lies, pickiness, grumpiness, irritability; in women - an unhappy marriage or no marriage. Pride, arrogance, contempt, thirst for power, temptation of evil; an instrument or victim of dark forces. This is also a difficult life; a lot of work, but little sense. Vicissitudes of fate, obstacles, crises every 7 years. Tense aspects of Saturn are overcome with great effort and perseverance and yield diligence, diligence, thriftiness and frugality, economy, strictness, severity, but fairness, great tact and attention, caution, method, gradualism, the ability to perform titanic work, heroic labor, the ability to endure hardships for the sake of a great goal; depth of soul and intellect, self-esteem and pride; a sense of duty and responsibility, justice and fairness; exceptional integrity and truthfulness.

It hinders self-expression; life is difficult and full of adversity. However, with other favorable aspects and a favorable aspect to Jupiter, this will be compensated. Obstacles in profession and love can be overcome with hard work and strict discipline. Gifts will not be forthcoming; everything must be achieved through one's own efforts. Disappointments are frequent when attempting to express oneself, leading to pessimism. All this relates to issues of houses and signs. If strongly positioned, this will shape character, but can lead to gloominess, bitterness, a Spartan lifestyle, or traditionalism. Optimism and cheerfulness must be consciously cultivated. This aspect is detrimental to the health and well-being of the owner's children. Typically, the eldest child is ill. These people tire quickly, and bone fractures, bad teeth, and chronic illnesses are common.

The ability to express oneself is difficult, which can affect school performance. Self-criticism is often exaggerated. The child may feel that his parents are to some extent disappointed in him. It is possible to help such a child if he strictly receives rewards for his achievements. This will help him gain the necessary self-confidence. In addition, such a child has a very strong need for a particularly strong relationship with his father. The child may feel that he does not have a father (he may be physically unreachable due to divorce or a profession that takes up all his time). Therefore, the child reacts inappropriately if dad is too critical or too demanding. This can lead to inhibited self-expression and distrust of all people. He needs his father to guide his actions gently, patiently and caringly. Possible problems with teeth, arthritis.

Opposition, square: a complex of failure, behind which lies the fear of being a bright personality, the inability to tune in to success or enter the time of maturity. This is based on an imaginary imperfection in comparison with the ideal father, which gives rise to self-doubt and depression. However, after going through some experience, undergoing development (for example, burying his father), a person can begin to live in accordance with the positive aspects of this arrangement of planets, becoming wiser and learning to control himself. Indeed, Saturn encourages - and sometimes simply forces - to behave like an adult, which, as a rule, is not given painlessly.

Life is difficult and full of adversity. With other good aspects, especially with a good aspect of Jupiter, this can be compensated for by work and strict discipline. There will be no gifts from fate: you will have to achieve everything yourself. Frequent disappointments when trying to self-realize lead to pessimism. This aspect is bad for the health and well-being of both the person himself and his children. As a rule, the eldest child is sick. These people get tired quickly; There are bone fractures, bad teeth, chronic diseases.
