What does this mean?
How this transit might manifest.
One’s mental disposition is drawn towards a more crestfallen nature and at worst even bordering on the precipice of despair. Public interaction becomes an arduous thing to endure as the mind wishes to retreat from activity, although in some cases, the opportunity doesn’t present itself at all. Tackling intellectual subjects does not come easy and it is best to allow your thoughts to work themselves out over time rather than force an immediate conclusion. Words that seem appropriate now are best left unspoken since you are much more prone to saying the wrong thing or merely regretting what you let come out of your mouth. Habit and other routine based activities are likely to let you down, making even practiced actions a source of setbacks.
If Saturn is the ruler of the First House:
The decisions you make and actions you take may end up backfiring or just failing you overall due to missing information or skewed perspectives. Attempts at starting new projects are not recommended, but it can be a good time to review the plans you have made for anything you wish to begin doing once this transit passes. Your mind and body may seem to be at odds with one another and it can be a good idea to avoid physical activities as much as possible since a lack of coordination can lead to injuries.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Second House:
Your financial situation is likely to become the point of depressing thoughts or you could be forced to miss out on valuable investment opportunities because of incorrect evaluations or lack of funding. Your speech can suffer due to a lack of mental clarity and your usual level of cerebral substance not being fully available to you. This is not a good time to push your personal values on others, but rather it can be useful for reflecting upon them through some self-scrutiny.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Third House:
The way in which you communicate becomes less efficient and has a tendency to cause you more trouble than it’s worth, it is best just to reserve your will to conversate until later. Interactions with friends, relatives and neighbors can let you down or even end in severe disagreement, but it is generally more common to just feel isolated from your social circle for a while. Errands and other tasks that involve short travels are likely to be filled with delays and other annoyances, so either prepare ahead or try to avoid them altogether.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Fourth House:
You could feel more distant from family and loved ones than usual and interactions are likely to end conflict rather than compromise. Your innermost being is prone to becoming depressed and dwelling on disheartening thoughts, try to remain looking outward. Damage or loss of property, especially related to your home, can occur if this transit is bolstered by other negative factors.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Fifth House:
Romantic encounters are more scarce or can even become a source of frustration, leaving you with good reason to just keep to yourself. Children and those under your authority tend to be resistant to your demands or overall wish to distance themselves from you. Your self-expression is hindered and communicating your disposition is generally either difficult or misunderstood by the others around you.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Sixth House:
Your work environment tends to be more laborious than usual and you could feel as though time is against you or that you simply can’t get much done. Superiors and coworkers can be more difficult to work with and you may encounter trouble trying to communicate with them properly. The responsibilities of daily life are filled with more difficulty or you may be lacking the ambition and focus to handle them in the first place.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Seventh House:
Interactions with those you view as equal to yourself can be difficult to handle or they could be non-existent. Business and marital issues are common and can be severe, so it is generally a good idea to word as hard as you can to find compromise should they arise. This is not a good time to negotiate deals, sign contracts or take care of any legal issues.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Eighth House:
You may feel either obstructed or overwhelmed by your deepest thoughts and desires, and tend to brood upon the greater mysteries of life. Those you partner with, especially for business, are more difficult to communicate with and could expect too much of you for a while. This is not a good time to draft or amend things such as wills of inheritance, tax documents or matters of joint property ownership.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Ninth House:
There is a tendency to feel at odds with your own personal dogma and religion in general, metaphysical concepts and other complex subjects can be harder to grasp right now. It is best to avoid handling legal issues if possible due to your inability to construct rational arguments, or at least ones that sound rational to others. This is not a good time for long distance travel, especially for business, as it likely to be filled with obstacles and delays.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Tenth House:
Your career environment tends to be more stressful on you than usual, especially mentally, and it is common to be faced with making a tough change or decision. Employers and coworkers are more difficult to communicate with and your superiors may ask more of you than you feel you can handle right now. This is a not a good time to plan for the long-term and it is harder to achieve any progress towards your life’s goals for a short while.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Eleventh House:
Social gatherings and other group based events may be more difficult for you handle and you could wish to simply isolate yourself from society altogether. Those you rely on for support may not want to or may not be able to help you at this time, it is best to look to yourself for what you need right now. This is not a good time to create or review plans as you are apt to be less practical and or have issues properly envisioning the future.
If Saturn is the ruler of the Twelfth House:
The background energy of your life is one of a more pessimistic nature, usually causing you to crave isolation from society. Feelings of being cut off from your spiritual insight are common and you may find yourself blinded by the material realm. Your physical or mental health can be affected by this transit so be sure to keep an eye on yourself.
