Saturn’s transit through Aries has the potential to bring the raw fiery potential of Aries into a grounded, stabilized form. Saturn’s symbolism in astrology is the master life coach. It has a quality of a no-nonsense approach and perhaps at times a stern focus on discipline. Yet, Saturn’s symbolism also brings with it success, achievement, and longevity into the physical level of life. Think of this as a cycle of development where you will want to reach for and express integrity, patience, divine timing, wisdom, and self-mastery instead of controlling others. Saturn’s emphasis is that it does not deny; rather, its symbolism suggests being accountable and responsible in life.
Saturn’s transit through Aries suggests the potential for courage and boldness to blaze a new trail and establish a foundation with soul-level passion aligned with soul’s wisdom and your higher potential from your soul’s blueprint and design. This transit has the depth and concentration to ignite lessons around leadership, assertiveness, behaviors, ego issues, as well as embracing and applying the pioneer archetype.
The transit of Saturn in Aries will activate all of the astrological signs, yet it will bring potential for ease for the fire signs—Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Will it bring lessons and learning – yes. However, Saturn in Aries will also activate potential to strengthen and overcome, for things to take shape and form into physical reality. This may help in business and personal relationships as well. There may be serious lessons around anger, power, temperament, as well as ego battle, and which battle is yours to take on.
If you are a Libra or have planets in Libra, take note that this cycle of development of Saturn in Aries will “be in opposition to” the sign of Libra, depending on which planets have in your soul’s blueprint that have Libra. There may be trials and tests that you put yourself through to strike a balance between individuality and relationships. The potential is there for deepening of commitment, creating a new harmony, and even perhaps meeting a new partner/relationship, either personal or business, that has quality and depth. Saturn’s transit through Aries invites you to honor the equality of giving and receiving instead of tipping the scales.
For some people, it will be a Second Saturn Return, which symbolizes a “diamond” phase for Saturn themes. It is a rich, fertile ground for a life review and appreciation.
