Are you going through a Saturn square sun transit? It doesn’t have to spell doom and gloom. Sure, it can represent challenges and growing pains, but this transit is really about opportunity.
Saturn-Sun Square
When Saturn and the Sun form a square aspect in your natal chart, it indicates a time of challenges and setbacks in your life.
Saturn is about responsibility, limitations, and learning from experiences. People with strong Saturn influences often had to grow up fast or deal with authority issues when they were young.
The Sun represents your ego, energy, and sense of purpose. It also represents your father.
A square (90-degree angle between planets) creates tension and problems, forcing you to face obstacles. This can show up as internal or external struggles that push you to take action and overcome difficulties.
Challenges To Your Self-Confidence
During this transit, you may face obstacles that undermine your self-esteem and confidence. Saturn wants you to develop humility and patience. If you’ve been forcing things or wanting everything instantly lately, this phase will show you that slow and steady wins the race.
Difficulty Expressing Yourself
You may feel blocked in expressing your true self or purpose in life. Your creativity and spontaneity can feel stifled by Saturn’s stern influence. And with the Sun representing your father, some people feel blocked by their father or interactions with him during this time.
Personally, I was born under this aspect. My childhood wasn’t always easy with Saturn parked in the first house, right under my Ascendant in Scorpio. When this transit hits, it really brings up those memories of being a kid for me. Just the thought of sitting across from my father during this time was tough to take.
Health Issues And Responsibilities
This transit can also bring health issues or added responsibilities that sap your energy and vitality. Saturn wants you to feel your best, though. Develop some good habits and routines that last. Only take on what you can do well, one thing at a time. Don’t overload yourself.
Restrictions And Reality Checks
When Saturn squares your Sun, it’s time for a reality check. Saturn will put some limits in place and cause delays that help you think about what’s really important to you and what you want to focus on. You might hit some roadblocks that make you wonder if you’re heading in the right direction. Don’t stress about it – take this time to figure out what really matters to you. If something isn’t crucial, it’s okay to put it on the back burner for now.
Realigning Your Purpose
Sun square Saturn transit period is pushing you to get really serious about the direction of your life and your purpose. Saturn requires commitment and effort. It’s time to stop floating around and focus your energy into something real. Saturn is a tough coach, so pay attention to what it’s telling you. Ask yourself some hard questions about what you truly want and why. Then make a specific plan for how you’ll build up the discipline and motivation needed to achieve what really matters to you.
Maturity And Life Lessons
Saturn transits often correlate with greater maturity and wisdom. But that wisdom usually comes through difficult life lessons and experiences. During this transit, you may deal with failures, losses, or disappointments that shape your character in important ways.
If you are reading this during your transit, I know it’s hard, but try to remember that it’s making you stronger. Even though it’s painful, all that stuff is helping shape who you are in a good way. After it passes, when you look back, you’ll understand why you had to go through it. You’ll see how it helped you grow.
Finding Inner Strength
This challenging transit is testing your mettle. Saturn wants you to work hard at overcoming challenges. I know it seems like he’s being mean, but he’ll reward you for sticking with it. Just keep believing in yourself even when things get difficult. If you can stay determined through any obstacles, you’ll come out the other side feeling even better about yourself and what you’re capable of.
Feeling Unworthy And Insecure
You can struggle with feelings of unworthiness and insecurity about your abilities or potential. No matter your actual talents or skills, you doubt yourself and don’t feel like you measure up. You’re your own worst critic. These feelings will pass in a few months.
Struggling With Authority Figures
You might often argue with people in charge or even your own thoughts about what’s right. You feel like rules are stopping you and you want to go against them. At the same time, you want to do what people expect and make them happy. It may feel very annoying going round and round like that.
My Advice
Don’t worry, even though things seem tough right now, this phase won’t last forever. It’s just a challenging period that Saturn wants you to go through so you can learn and become stronger. I know how hard it can be, since I’ve also got Saturn prominent in my birth chart and have experienced this before in my life. But if I made it through, then so can you. Most importantly, be kind to yourself right now. That’s all you need.
And no, this Saturn square Sun does not mean death. It just means letting go of old ways of thinking and your tendency to want everything right away. In the end, you’ll see that going through this hard time will actually make you stronger, more resilient, and more patient as a person.
