Hello
Saturn will soon transit my MC.
I have read that I could be either a period of great achievement or of deconstruction depending of where we stand, the choices we made in the past.
In the past months, after letting go several things in the professional area I hqve felt surprisingly relieved, lucky, healing and learning from the past experiences. Jupiter and Uranus in my 11th might help as well on this.
Saturn just transited opposite to my natal saturn in the 3rd, squaring my Sun / Mercury in the 12th. I was afraid of this but the period keeps being positive for me. I did not feel any depressed feeling or lack of confidence or slow down pressure that I usually feel with saturn.
On top of that saturn also just transited on my progressed moon. But honestly I feel more joy now than ever in the past...
So I am wondering :
Am I missing something?
Or can it be that I finally learnt how to work with saturn and accept what exist and what does not exist ?
What were your experiences with saturn on the MC ?
Many thanks, Aude
You're having a good result because you've done well. This is an achievement. Congrats!
Saturn is the stern teacher that makes you go back and do it right.... sometimes over and over again. That's the teacher you remember for the rest of your life with a mixture of dread and gratitude for the hard lessons you learned from them that can affect your life, hopefully in a positive manner, if you chose to incorporate those lessons. This transit is usually not quick or easy but brings necessary - and sometimes unwanted - changes with it. Of course, my son was murdered as Saturn transited conjunct my 5th house Chiron in Aquarius, square his 8th house Mars/NN exactly conjunct my natal Leo Sun so there's that.
Of course this is not similar but I lost a baby when saturn transited my natal Uranus in Scorpio in the 5th, Pluto was also opposite my moon in cancer...
But I have to say that I was feeling / knowing much before that something dark was about to come.
I also really hated saturn in the 8th. (Pluto in capricorn being in the 7th)
now that saturn is in the 9th (and pluto in the 8th), I am not feeling this process as heavy... I feel more open and confident in what life could bring and in my ability to manage it.
Potentially saturn in the 10th / on the MC have more affinity together than with other house or points ? Or again, I am missing something...
I am not at all thinking that I have learnt all the lessons in this life so I am still a little cautious
@a2905_gemini I'm sorry for your loss. I also saw the approaching Saturn conjunct my natal Chiron in 5th a couple of years before exact - I think it was 2020 when I looked at it for the first time and I knew it would impact my son. I was holding my breath the whole time Saturn was going over it, then retrograding back, then forward over it again, in 2021/22. It had made it's final pass to my Chiron and was separating when I felt a sense of relief, like 'We made it!' and then my son died.
@sage6911 thank you !
Also so sorry for your loss.
The process you describe resonates with my experience. I was really worried and keeping asking doctors to check whether everything was fine. We did a last exam a few days before he died. The exam was saying that everything was fine. Thus after months of anxiety I finally decided to calm down. I even though I was crazy and I felt some relief... just before it finally happened. In end I was sadly "right" but I could do nothing to prevent this.
Not sure though how to connect this to a Saturn or any life lesson.
Sometimes worrying, knowing what will happen does not change anything about what is meant to happen ?
Grief is then of course a lesson about letting go what cannot be controlled.
Still do not yet the usefulness (if any) of the relief just before the loss in this process. Or maybe just some part of you already knows that this is about to happen and inner struggle is not longer needed?
@a2905_gemini Unfortunately, there is a 'fated' aspect to this as well. As I mentioned, my Chiron in 5th house Aquarius, which Saturn conjuncted at that time, was square my son's Leo 8th house with his Mars, North Node and Jupiter (out of sign but still conjunct) conjunction right on my 27 degree Leo Sun and 0 degree Virgo Pluto. A lot happened with my son during this long Saturn aspect but, yes, I thought we had weathered the storm and all would be well as Saturn pulled away from my Chiron. Sadly, the worst was yet to come...
@sage6911 my english is not fluent enough to express my feelings about this
But I am sincerely sending you my warmest thoughts
@a2905_gemini Thank you and I send you my wishes for the best possible outcome of your Saturn aspect. And remember, Saturn can bring positive and lasting changes too. For instance, Saturn is currently in my 6th house of health and I have developed the most excruciating 'allergy' to alcohol (not an alcoholic but definitely love red wine) which makes it almost impossible for me to drink any kind of alcohol. I saw this one coming too and I'm okay with it and, honestly, I feel so much better since I quit. I know this is a permanent change for me and I'm kind of grateful already for it.
Interestingly, the only time so far Saturn has transited my natal MC in Taurus was exactly the time I got my very first job, which was serving food to the elderly in a retirement home. I was 15. I never put these two together but that is perhaps a perfectly executed transit. Very nice to think about. 🙂
Thank you. It seems that this experience was positive!
What was your feeling behind this experience?
The sense of usefulness ? of personal achievement in aligning your values and your mission ?
I have also several relatives that are living the transit of saturn on the IC. I am also interested in knowing whether this was the "lowest point" of something in your experience?
I can remember the last time saturn was on the IC i could feel a sense of loneliness, heavy responsabilites and of nonsense. I felt trapped in something too heavy for me and not meeting my deepest needs. Concreteley we had just bought our first flat and we are doing the works ourselves which was taking a lot of energy while I was realising that the flat was much too noisy for me I could not sleep anymore, feeling a lot of pressure. I also had a lot of work and i was not believing anymore in the mission i had at that time. All of this seemed to be a total non sense to me but I felt like I had to continue... until I realise that I could decide to stop. I sold the apartment(easily !) and took another job.
So i am wondering whether you have a kind of similar experience in the 4th and opposite experience in the 10th 
I hate to admit... when Saturn transited my IC in Scorpio my grandparents died. We were very close as I'd been living with them as their caregiver for a few years. I did inherit a lot of money and property from them. Another extremely definitive transit.
@draco I was intrigued by your answer, so I checked transits when my grandmother died, Saturn was opposing my IC in Pisces. I never connected it. Thank you!
This isn't the topic, but I checked transits when my grandad died, it was the 3rd Jupiter-Uranus conjunction and it was in my 4th house. IC was in Cancer.
@draco and in reply to original post, last time this happened, I moved out of a long term work role that despite opportunities offered, I’d outgrown, to choose a completely new and brand new sector in a brand new geographic location. Within two years I became ceo. It’s coming up for me again in a few years and I imagine, I’ll either retire, be retired against my will :), or have another boost!
I worked hard then, but had my (self) doubts, now I’m working hard and fewer doubts - more pushing through regardless.
Top of my career.
I had a textbook Saturn transit years ago. I lost my job as it transited my 8th house (opposite my Cap stellium). I went back to school, got my masters degree and teacher certification when it went through my 9th house. I got my first teaching job when it conjuncted the MC. Saturn is ruler of my second house and sunsign ruler.
@jana That's pretty amazing, so glad you made it through Saturn in the 8th! I think that's a terrific lesson, that no matter what losses you suffer in the 8th you can have opportunity for education in the 9th.
