Saturn in the 8th House

Saturn in Sagittarius tours your 8th House of other people’s resources. If you’ve been relying on the financial help of others for some time, expect that assistance to become a little more scarce while Saturn transits your 8th House.

Saturn is here to teach you about self reliance and financial discipline, and you will need to heed his teachings to make any progress at all. If you demonstrate the responsibility he expects you to, you’ll be in a better position to achieve financial independence by the time he leaves.

Saturn is the taskmaster planet, so his lessons won’t be fun and games, and if you resist learning them the experience will be all the more difficult. Saturn demands we grow up, demonstrate maturity, and meet our commitments.

You may also find that a partner’s income is reduced or restricted during this transit, and you may be called on to step in and accept responsibility for filling the financial gap.

Saturn in the 6th House

Saturn is the taskmaster planet, here to teach you about self discipline and commitment in work or health related matters. 

You could find yourself putting in long hours at work for little reward, and that’s because one of Saturn’s lesson is delayed gratification. He wants you to earn your rewards and recognition, which doesn’t come until after you’ve achieved your goals. You may find yourself spending long hours building the underlying structure for stable, long term future employment or entrepreneurship. 

If this manifests in your work life, you may find you have little time for established daily routines, and health habits may fall by the wayside. You’ll have to be diligent if you want to maintain them under this influence.   

Alternatively, you may experience this transit in your health sector, and Saturn may challenge to to demonstrate how important long term good health is to you by asking you to show your commitment to good health practices. This could involve restricting certain foods from your diet or limiting your intake of certain foods or macronutrients.

The 6th House also rules pets and employees, you it’s possible you will be tested on one of these areas instead. It’s not likely you would facing Saturn’s lessons in all of these areas at once, but know that if you don’t willingly work with Saturn while he’s here, the coming two years will only be that much harder in one of these areas of life.

Saturn in the 4th House

Saturn in Sagittarius represents a more than two year long visit in your 4th House of home, family and property. He has challenges for you while he’s here, testing your sense of commitment to family and your willingness to take on the responsibility of your own home.

You may find yourself unsettled and frequently with no real home of your own, delaying gratification as you work toward your long term home ownership or lifestyle goals.

Saturn will ask you to work for what you want while he tours this part of your chart, teaching you the value of perseverance and dedication in going after what you want.

The 4th House also rules the parents, so it’s possible you may be asked to step in and care for a parent or uphold a familial commitment or obligation of some kind in the coming years. You may even be relied on to be responsible for your family during this time.

Saturn in the 2nd House

Saturn, the celestial taskmaster, in sidereal Sagittarius brings you some much needed relief at long last. You have hosted demanding Saturn in your sign for more than two and a half years, since November 2014–with the exception of a brief reprieve when Saturn made his initial foray into Sagittarius from February to early June of this year.

Saturn has served you challenges during these past three years, in fact, Scorpio has had it harder than any other sign. Now he’s moved on to your solar 2nd House to teach you lessons around financial self-discipline and being a responsible consumer. You might adopt a minimalist approach with possessions during this time, or experience material loss.

For example, I first experienced this transit as a young child, and during that time my family moved across many states and put most of our belongings in storage. They would never make the trip, instead being sold at auction when my young parents faced dire financial straits. Many years later went through it again with my husband and children, and again we gave away much of what we owned and put the rest of our possessions in storage for several years during which we relocated multiple times before finally settling in to a long term home and being reuinited with our belongings.

Saturn in the 12th House

Your ruler, Saturn, will be touring the most private part of your chart while he's in Sagittarius, teaching you the value of hard work, self discipline, and perseverance in very private matters. The 12th House rules privacy and seclusion, spiritual evolution, and our unconscious beliefs and thoughts. You’ll be challenged to mature in your spiritual journey, release limiting beliefs, and possibly to work long, hard hours alone on solo projects over this time.

This is a time for facing fears and shedding outdated thought patterns and escapist behaviors. It can also allow you the opportunity to let go of an addiction through the process facing your fears and sorrows, releasing guilt, and learning to develop greater self compassion. You can make great progress in working through unconscious self-destructive or self-sabotaging behaviors if you are willing to do the work.

If not, you’ll likely find this transit difficult and filled with restrictions and limitations. Your spiritual dedication may be tested in some way, or you may encounter obstacles to observing your regular spiritual practices.

Saturn in the 10th House

Saturn's transit of sidereal Sagittarius means a tour of your career sector betwen now and January 2020. He’ll be testing and teaching you while he’s here, pushing you to demonstrate self discipline and your commitment to your professional aspirations. It will be challenging, but if you’re up to the challenge, you’ll find at the end that it will be rewarding, too.

You may be required to make sacrifices in pursuit of your career goals, or to delay personal or professional gratification in some way.

Saturn always rewards us for making a real effort to learn tough, lifelong lessons and demonstrating maturity and responsibility. When we don’t, he gives us obstacles, limitations and restrictions just like a stern father figure.
