Does Saturn affect me? - Discussions, questions

88_DAYS » Graham Thank you very much for your answer

~Laura~ Your sun is on 9°22 Capricorn and sun in your chart rules your 4th house and is in your chart responsible for your basic trust in life, your emotions, your personal manner to react emotionally, what you need to feel yourself nurtured, welcomed and at home with yourself. And is about your mother and mother experience in your childhood and is also about your own real home, where you live. And also about moving home /relocation – if transit activated by a slow moving transit planet.

As far as transits are considered – you can see a natal planet in your chart kinda as a keyhole carrierer - for a door to get a life-theme door opened. If a transit planet comes near to your sun – it must first be a degree exact contact to enable the transiting planet to put the key exactly into the key hole of the natal planet door, to get the door open and to get something happen in the life theme - your sun rules (4th house). Short before the door - standing before the door/natal planet is not the same and is not in the keyhole and for me - can’t open the door of a life theme. Astrology is a precisely working instrument and tool. And after a transit planet has left exact degree of a natal planet - without return to exact degree - the transit is over and the door is closed.

Transit saturn on 06/18/2023 will turn retrograde on 7°13 capricorn – will not reach exact degree of your sun this year and will not activate your sun this year. Only next year on 02/25-26/2024 and then only for a short overrun – lasting 2 days – without return to exact degree of your sun. And Saturn will not activate any other planet in your chart this year- either.

But bear in mind - a transit never comes alone. Transit jupiter will soon activate your sun degree exact on 07/01/2023 by trine until next year.
B.t.w. a good time for relocation and moving home and to find a new home matching your needs - you´ll feel well in.

Graham "saturn within 3 degrees orb from natal sun DIRECT - 2/5/22 (there is an effect)
saturn more than 5 degrees orb away from natal sun RETROGRADE 2/10/22 (is there any effect?)
saturn again within 3 degrees orb from sun 2/4/23 (there is an effect).

Will the planet affect me the whole time from 2/5 up to 2/4 or only when its within the orb?"

When giving dates on forums, it is advisable to write the month (rather than its number) ... because, for example, 2/5/22 = 2nd May 2022 in Europe AND 5th February 2022 in USA.

I think you are using 2/5/22 = 2nd May 2022 ... BUT, transit Saturn was 44degs58mins away from natal Sun on that day (and 39degs55 away on 5th February 2022).

Please quote the months in words rather than numbers; confirm that your quoted orbs are correct; state the Tsaturn-Nsun aspect involved and the maximum orb you are using for that aspect.

It will affect you ONLY when it is within orb. ... However, YOU are the only person who can know/correctly-determine the maximum orb of influence to use/apply. [For example, most astrologers/students use a maximum orb of only 1 degree for "cold readings" of transit-to-natal planets ... BUT, since you know yourself well, this is NOT a cold reading - so it is ok to use a wider orb. However, how wide that orb should be depends upon your personal/past-event experience of how far from exact an aspect was when you actually "felt" its influence for the first (and last) time.

Spirto Hello there.
Saturn as a slow planet effect you in a deep way during a transist. When it makes an aspect the effect is stronger but all time that it pass through the specific house the effect is there.
