Larger transiting planets reveal life events that all people have in common, and the planet Saturn is one of them. The effects of Saturn’s influence begin at birth. Saturn represents the human capacity for overcoming struggle. It is about obstacles in life that result in maturity.

Saturn’s revolution around planet earth takes approximately 28 years. At this time, the first conscious major life influence takes place. There are other minor transits that take place at seven year intervals, but this one is a biggie.

One of the ways I point out the reality of this transit is through observations about my high school friends who married soon after graduation. Most of these marriages dissolved at about the age of 28. Why? Because transiting Saturn brought in a lesson.

People don’t become adults until the age of 30 or so, according to astrology. Being that Saturn takes two years to complete a life cycle, it begins roughly at 28 and goes on to the age of 30. At this time some painful lessons have revealed who a person really is.

Ergo, when marriages dissolve or breakups occur during this time it’s the result of self discovery. Each partner may see changes in the other if they are the same age. Or the older one may seem to go through a significant change of personality.

Often, when a life partner changes, the response of the other is a feeling of abandonment. Or maybe the newly uncovered personality simply isn’t compatible. Actually, the person is the same, but with a more defined persona that is usually not obvious early in life. The selection of the right online horoscope match should be effective and according to the standards. The response of the partner against the requirements should be positive to get the maximum benefits. The checking of the personality should be great to get the results. The sharing of the feelings is great to meet the specifications. 

When the real self emerges, Saturn transits become a factor in breakups. Personality crytalizes under this transit. That’s why this major influence in astrology is associated with relationships.

However, there is more impact – much more.

Often major Saturn transits are described with words like constriction – roadblocks. Consequently, depression, frustration and other negative terms come along with the astrology predictions.

Actually though, after having been put through the fires, reaping the benefits are rewarding. My astrologer, Eileen Nauman, compared it to a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

There is a clarification process that comes through with the painful truths involving transiting Saturn. Though at first this period seems unpleasant and depressing, it is the subconscious teaching lessons about the self.

Other periods that mark Saturn’s astrological effects are the ages between 54 – 57, then again approaching the age of eighty. Accumulated wisdom from lessons learned as a human being prepare people for dealing with end of life issues, too.

Astrology involving the planet Saturn always plays a really important role in any individual’s life.
