Good article. I have in my natal chart Saturn sextile Ascendant. Next year I will have transiting Saturn opposite natal Saturn and trine my Ascendant at the same time. Interesting how that will play out

I currently have Saturn conjunct my ascendant in Aquarius opposing Uranus on the descendant. Uranus is now conjunct my natal moon in Taurus, squaring Saturn. And Pluto is conjunct my Sun. This is the most miserable I’ve ever felt in my life in that I’m constantly trying to remain buoyant during periods of delay. Any suggestions without turning into a hermit?

Sometimes when I have a ‘bad’ aspect or set of aspects, I look up the same combination of planets only in easier to handle aspects. That is, I look at the trines and sextiles, and even the conjunctions and see if I can’t squeeze something positive out of it, a better ‘spin’.
Sorry, I’m sure that’s not much help but it’s about all I can think of.

WELL BRAD
I have the very same pressure
On my sun & ascendant. This month is not easy. It will get harder.
Let me tell you, in my brief and miserable sermon here, that
With the planet of restriction on your vital force (sun) you can expect to feel zapped. Oh yes sir. You’re doing VERY well if you’re not totally drowning in health problems! What is left to a person under this transit? I look for a good thought to get me through the day. Sometimes there isn’t one. But usually our vitality can generate at least one good thought. Let that carry you. Whatever the difficulty is, endless obstacles, nightmare job, Remember the hardship is just gonna be pain and will remain just useless pain, If we don’t take it on as SOMEHOW instructive: (groan it’s painful I know, i resist hard slog like a barnacle) there must be seen here SOMEHOW a lesson in patience and calm responses.
think of the days of Ancient Rome-let’s think in their terms for a second: Saturn is visiting you! Therefore: worship the god of hard work! Find and exalt your own version of patience—and do what it says. If you don’t, you may expect to be treated badly by this transit.
The good news is!! The old crone Saturn has very symmetrical lessons. With Saturn it’s pay your debts and two plus two: anyone can understand it:
disrespect will meet with disrespect.
provision will meet with provision.
In my case, to have health? I have to BE healthy. habits diet everything.
You get what you give.
Goodluck.
(Sure as hell I need it.)

I have just experienced Transit Saturn opposite my Ascendant. My step-father (my dad) passed away… throughout the week of his funeral, I was somehow able to see clearly how various members of his family triggered me in the past – and was able to navigate the farewell with silent, nonretaliative grace and peace. I felt like my dad was with me quietly sending me the instruction to ‘just say nothing, let it be.’ A hard but rewarding karmic lesson. I love what has been summarised here.

“This transit indicates a significant break in your dealings with others, and the beginning of seeing the result of how your personality is going to manifest itself in the world and how it affects others. You should see clearly what changes of attitude you should make in order to be more at peace with those people who get along with you. You should also take into account the effect that certain people have on you.”
SPOT ON! I HAD A COLLABORATOR IN MAUI WHO SUDDENLY CUT ME OUT WITHIN A TRIANGULATION WITH A CLIENT SHE SENT ME.
With Saturn entering Pisces, I’m learning spiritual boundaries. ✨️ Trauma can hiijack your best of intentions when survival means “to please” vs actually protecting yourself and drawing lines where they need to be. also: not doing this has an effect on how you are perceived as well, with sometimes overly strict consequences by saturnian people.

I had a horrible time when Saturn went stationary very closely square my natal ascendant. I got both ill and depressed, the illness perhaps being a result of the depression.
The depression was the result of things in my personal life, largely unsatisfactory relationships. As per the interpretation above, I think I had perhaps had difficulty accepting that they weren’t working out.

I have saturn opposing my ascendant, conjunct my venus and all i can say is, i seriously have neve been through anything like this. Hormonal issues, acne, relationship issues, financial issues… saturn really got my life going 🚮

I have trans Saturn squaring my natal Venus/ascendant conjunction. Trans Pluto has been conjuncting my Saturn, also. Health awful -post viral exhaustion, depression. Underneath, a strong pull to separate myself from old relationship patterns – wasting energy on pleasing people & concern about others’ opinion of me. A hardening. Fear. But hopefully an increase in self discipline & awareness. Sat squaring asc has been far more gruelling than expected.
Olivia C McGraw
Transiting Saturn is in my third house of Aquarius/Pisces squaring my Sagittarius Ascendant 2°12`…
any words of encouragement?
I got an OWI the day after the peak of this transit
