Astrology

People have been fascinated by the skies for a long time. The ancients believe that it holds the answers to our questions in life. Some even think that it has the key to our future. It can show us where we came from and where we are going. Astrology can help us answer those questions. While most of us are only familiar with our sun signs, planets and other heavenly bodies also have a strong influence on our lives. This is true in the case of Saturn. Saturn is regarded as the most fearsome planet in astrology. People associate this planet with the negative aspects of life. Things such as illness, misfortune, misery, struggles, difficulties, despair, and hardships are attributed to Saturn. It’s also the planet of restrictions, limitations, and reality. With that, Saturn isn’t all bad. It represents the obstacles we will face in our lives. It may be true that Saturn won’t make it easy for us. Just like a strict teacher, it makes us learn lessons the hard way. Saturn is known as the taskmaster of the planets. It gives us what we need to learn in order to grow. Regarding its placement in the houses, Saturn will have a tremendous effect on a specific area in our life and can also affect our personality. If you have Saturn in 1st House, read on to know about the lessons you have to overcome. Discovering Your Saturn in the 1st House Our skies are divided into twelve sections when viewed from Earth. Each of them represents a particular area in our lives. For example, the 1st House governs our self-image, the Ego, how we assert ourselves to others, our identity, and self-perception. It also carries our characteristics, personality, and attitudes in life. Many astrologers have said that Saturn doesn’t sit comfortably in the 1st House. This planet is known for its inclination towards discipline, rules, and structure. Because it’s placed in the 1st House, the tendency is that these natives’ sense of self is limited. They may be too cautious or cold and serious in everything. This doesn’t mean to say these people don’t know fun. In their childhood, they may have been brought up to shoulder the burden of others. They are already responsible from the start. They put their heart into everything, sometimes forgetting themselves in the process. Thus, these natives can become too easily stressed. When there’s a project that isn’t done, they won’t rest until it’s completed. They set the bar high for themselves and expect others to do the same. It may also reach the point they become too hard on themselves. Saturn asks them not to take everything too seriously. They will also be taught how to assert themselves properly. Because they have carried much responsibility since their early years, they may not know how to relax. These people need to balance their productivity and meet their own needs. Saturn in 1st House Personality Traits Natives with this Saturn placement are mostly known for their cold and stern exterior. They usually don’t smile a lot, which makes people see them differently when they do. It’s just that they tend to take everything seriously. They also aren’t open communicators and would usually shy away from expressing themselves. On the upside, though, these people can be very reliable. When the going gets tough, you can depend on them to take control of the situation. They are responsible, respectable, and orderly. They have a strong sense of morality which makes them capable of judging which one is right and not. With their immense talent and gift in leadership, these people can get ahead in life. Only when they let go of the anxiety that comes along with their placement will they be able to enjoy what is theirs rightfully. These people are too cautious of allowing people into their lives. Learning to express themselves more openly without being too wary of exposing their vulnerabilities is one step. Responsible and Disciplined These people are dependable. Others can rely on them because they are always willing to lend a hand. In any situation they’re in, they will try to take control. Whenever there’s a task that needs to be done, they will do whatever it takes to complete that. They don’t like to do things half-heartedly. Combined with disciplined Saturn, these people are determined to finish everything they’ve started. Thus, others can always count on them on anything. They will also be there to help anyone out, even at the expense of themselves. Capable and Talented They possess a number of gifts and talents that can help them get ahead in life. However, they may sometimes feel insecure about their abilities. Or, at times, they may be too cautious about doing anything. If they let this limitation overcome them instead of them overcoming it, they may not achieve what they wanted. Strong Sense of Right and Wrong They have a keen judgment and acute perception of things. More so than other people, they can sense what’s right and wrong in almost any situation. They think fast and act fast. Cautious, Cold, and Stern These people have little warmth. Others may perceive them as too strict and cold, which makes them seem like they’re contemplating all the time. They are too focused on the work they need to do that they tend to forget everything else. While being reliable and dutiful are good, they can become too focused on these things. Another trait they must take note of is their cautious nature. A good amount of self-discipline and self-restraint is necessary.
