Saturn in Astrology – Meaning Explained (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:00) all right so today we're going to talk (00:00:02) about Saturn in astrology both in the (00:00:04) natal chart and in transit what does he (00:00:06) mean on that fundamental level so (00:00:08) yesterday we talked about Jupiter which (00:00:10) is about the polarity of Saturn which is (00:00:12) about expansion it's about seeing what's (00:00:15) possible having that optimistic and wise (00:00:17) perspective on life now Saturn (00:00:20) essentially is still very much about (00:00:22) that overarching perspective so both (00:00:24) planets are about that top down but the (00:00:27) difference between Jupiter and Saturn is (00:00:29) is where Jupiter wants to expand Saturn (00:00:32) energy and this is an aspect of (00:00:34) ourselves wants to contract wants to (00:00:37) create wants to restrain in order to (00:00:39) have definition one way I like to think (00:00:42) of Jupiter and Saturn in astrology is (00:00:44) that you know if you think of sacred (00:00:46) geometry you've got Jupiter which (00:00:49) represents the color right it's just the (00:00:51) light kind of going off into every (00:00:53) direction then you've got Saturn who is (00:00:56) the definition in there maybe the lack (00:00:58) of light or where the light kind of took (00:01:00) a turn or change to Hue or something (00:01:02) like that and that gives it the (00:01:03) definition cuz you know light by itself (00:01:06) you know it's just the whole color (00:01:08) spectrum but once you have the (00:01:10) definition and the curvature and the (00:01:12) different designs then you actually have (00:01:14) something that you might consider art or (00:01:16) a creation or sacred geometry for (00:01:18) example so very important when you (00:01:21) combine these two elements and like I (00:01:23) said with Jupiter they're outer planet (00:01:25) so they have a lot to do with more of (00:01:26) the unconscious deeper aspects of self (00:01:29) not so much in personality again (00:01:32) depending on the house placement if it's (00:01:34) in house definitely personality but as (00:01:37) an energy in and of itself it's much (00:01:38) more about how we create our experiences (00:01:41) you know on a bigger picture especially (00:01:43) from the top down perspective so that's (00:01:46) pretty much the polarity expansion with (00:01:48) Jupiter contraction with Saturn and you (00:01:50) can get some more clues about what (00:01:52) Saturn represents by looking at them in (00:01:54) the sky so first things first is he's (00:01:58) the dimmest uh star or the dimmest (00:02:00) Planet rather that we can see with the (00:02:02) naked eye but he's also the last planet (00:02:05) we can see with the naked eye so there's (00:02:06) this new Gap we're about to go into from (00:02:09) Saturn to the trans Saturn planets you (00:02:11) know Uranus and Neptune and so forth so (00:02:14) one thing about Saturn he's kind of the (00:02:16) end of everything that is visible right (00:02:20) so he represents kind of the domain or (00:02:22) the end of everything physical (00:02:24) everything real everything that you can (00:02:26) actually visualize so that's essentially (00:02:29) a good way of looking at Saturn is he's (00:02:31) kind of the master of the uh Physical (00:02:35) Realm so it's about where we can create (00:02:38) you know physicality where we can have a (00:02:41) um slow and steady and dense and (00:02:44) disciplined approach in order to make (00:02:46) things into a reality because again like (00:02:49) Jupiter for example if it's just (00:02:50) inspiration if it's just motivation well (00:02:53) there's nothing really there until you (00:02:55) actually turn it into something (00:02:57) practical and real and that's one (00:02:59) element of sad (00:03:01) the other element too is Saturn's (00:03:02) gorgeous Rings you know they're made of (00:03:04) ice and stone you know mostly ice though (00:03:07) so this is very cold you know and this (00:03:09) is a big quality about Saturn is that (00:03:12) Saturn you Saturn's approach and our (00:03:14) approach in the natal chart is in that (00:03:17) cold and sort of distant way you know (00:03:19) kind of emotionally distant just very (00:03:22) cold and calculating so the reason for (00:03:24) that is because we're able to actually (00:03:27) see things for how they are and it's (00:03:30) just (00:03:31) reality you know there's no emotional (00:03:33) Hue to it it just is what it is and so (00:03:36) we see it we work with it it's the area (00:03:38) of our life where we can really have (00:03:40) that Stern approach that's sometimes (00:03:42) needed in order to create things that (00:03:44) are long lasting in other words where we (00:03:46) have uh not necessarily short-term gains (00:03:49) and short-term Pleasures but long-term (00:03:51) gains and long-term Pleasures right so (00:03:54) we have that disciplined energy there (00:03:57) and the Rings are essentially creation (00:03:59) you know it takes very long time to (00:04:01) create those rings and they're beautiful (00:04:03) and it's a reminder that through that (00:04:05) hard work and discipline you know we can (00:04:08) create uh beautiful things in life but (00:04:10) they do take time and they do take hard (00:04:13) work so these are some of the things (00:04:15) that you can gain from Saturn and (00:04:17) essentially he's showing us where in our (00:04:19) chart we're willing to work hard where (00:04:21) we're willing and it doesn't always come (00:04:23) across as easy but there's an aspect of (00:04:25) ourselves where we are willing to work (00:04:26) hard there and it is very important for (00:04:28) us to do that and just like with I was (00:04:31) talking about with Jupiter bringing in (00:04:32) Saturn into Jupiter really helps refine (00:04:35) Jupiter here with Saturn where it is (00:04:38) that colder part of the chart bringing (00:04:41) in Jupiter really helps so bringing in (00:04:43) Inspiration bringing in buoyancy (00:04:45) bringing in optimism to wherever Saturn (00:04:47) is in your chart can really go a long (00:04:49) ways so let's take an example let's say (00:04:51) someone has Saturn in their fourth house (00:04:53) this would be the house of Home family (00:04:55) and also health so it would be important (00:04:57) for this individual individual and I (00:04:59) think naturally do take seriously the (00:05:02) home matters Family Matters Health (00:05:04) matters anything relating to tradition (00:05:07) or past or history or their roots in (00:05:10) some sense um again that's the area of (00:05:13) life so their approach to that could be (00:05:15) very longlasting again you know anything (00:05:17) in that area does tend to come later in (00:05:20) life too as they develop those qualities (00:05:23) so here perhaps the emotional qualities (00:05:25) and foundational qualities of the fourth (00:05:27) house so let's look at a um a sign with (00:05:31) this let's say Saturn in Aries okay so (00:05:34) Aries is a very you know outward very (00:05:36) action oriented sign so here the slow (00:05:40) and steady approach is actually very (00:05:42) much about short bursts of action right (00:05:45) so the way in which the individual in (00:05:47) this example U expand the home and (00:05:50) family stuff over time it'll be through (00:05:52) those short bursts of energies that (00:05:53) motivation that drive that inspiration (00:05:56) where they're taking it one step at a (00:05:58) time but it's small victories in the the (00:06:00) process and so they could be you know (00:06:02) again kind of competitive in the process (00:06:04) they could be you know seeing how they (00:06:05) can remove obstacles and all that stuff (00:06:08) that Aries is associated with in order (00:06:10) for them to build that long lasting you (00:06:12) know area of life so hopefully this (00:06:14) helps you guys as always if you have any (00:06:16) questions do comment down below and I'll (00:06:18) see you guys all next time for Uranus (00:06:20) take care
