Read this post first for context.
The original post I discovered today , hoping I had posted something about the beginning of this Saturn transit to my Ascendant. Not only does it cover the topic, it draws connection with the first go -round, back in 1992. Tonight I will comment on the end of this cycle effective today. Today Wednesday March 25, 2026 transiting Saturn officially moved to my natal Second house cusp. This transit lasted approximately 4 years and 1 month using the Placidus house system. For those who are not astrologers, don’t worry about house systems. Long story short, depending on one’s location at birth, there is significant differences in the size of the 12 astrological houses in one’s birth chart. The bigger the house, the longer a planet’s residence will be. My first and seventh houses are the largest in my chart so those areas of life ( self and partnerships ) are emphasized. Self includes the body and Saturn and health often add up to weakness, illness, fatigue, frailty, disability, etc. The beginning of the cycle ( 2022 and 2023 were the most active for me , moving out of my longtime home, gaining my LCSW license , and building my therapy practice. Illness intensified in 2023 and has held steady since then. My attitude and been somber, my mood darker, and my hermit tendencies have increased. Some of these shifts are also connected to the pLuto transit in my 12th house but Saturn is less mysterious and more direct.
Say hello to Margot! I got her around Christmas but waited to take a pic until all of the snow disappeared. The snow refused to fade for close to 6 weeks, which is probably a record here in the Philly suburbs. I adore the blue and the return of the heated seats. They are really soothing to the lower back. Margot means pearl. I learned that after I chose it. Naming objects lends a hint of security to my psyche for reasons still unknown. Margot has nothing to do with the topic at hand but I promised to share my new car at some point. We Moon in Gemini types do love our vehicles!
What does the future hold? I am not sure. Transiting Saturn in the 2nd house isn’t usually a celebratory time, but it will be substantially shorter. For some it can mean financial woes, but my income went up due to a promotion in the mid 1990s. Robert Hand, an astrological living legend, speaks to a re- emphasis on living one’s values. I have been doing that for years, so perhaps I am set. Astrology really works well. I am absolutely convinced. However there is something to be said about projection of one’s expectations. For my fellow Aquarius rising folks and the Pisces and early degree Aries ascendants, please let me know how you have been faring with the Saturn transit. It is amazing how the majority of the planet navigates these cycles without much Astro information. Perhaps there are drawbacks as well as blessings to living one’s life with one eye towards the sky. All I know is that I get a reprieve from this four year odyssey until 2052. My hard copy ephemeris ends at 2050 and I am not guaranteed to reach my 90s but if I do, please have advanced, human friendly healing technology up and running. On second thought, we could all use it right about now.
