What Your Saturn Sign Reveals About Your Personality And Life Journey, According To An Astrologer

Aries is typically considered the “leader of the pack” in astrology, but if your Saturn is in this zodiac sign, you may have difficulty showing and harnessing your leadership skills. Learning to assert yourself will be key for self-growth, as will not getting down on yourself when you fail. (It happens to everyone!)

What's more: Because Mars rules your sense of responsibility, working toward one big ultimate life goal is the secret to your success. You'll also benefit from doing strategic sports, like martial arts or tennis, because they can help you move past the need to achieve instant gratification.

If you have stern Saturn in Taurus, one of your life lessons is to master the material, tangible realm. It’s crucial that you don’t allow a scarcity mindset to inform your ability to attract wealth and even love. Focusing on building a secure and stable foundation for yourself and your people is your main priority, but that shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying the pleasures of life.

And since Venus—the planet of personal values—is your absolute teacher, learning to truly value yourself as well as your unique talents is also key.

If you were born with Saturn in Gemini, learning to express yourself in an orderly, organized manner is one of life’s biggest lessons. Perhaps due to childhood preconditioning, you may find it hard to share your ideas. Establishing a closer connection with communication planet Mercury will be important for you throughout your life, so a career in writing, editing, research, or education could be instrumental to finding your voice.

If the ringed planet was in Cancer when you were born, you may have had a difficult childhood. Perhaps you lacked a sense of real safety or security and even experienced “tough love” from your parents.

To overcome these feelings, it’s crucial that you allow yourself to be vulnerable, open yourself to love, and create your chosen family. Pursuing a career that encourages you to show your nurturing side can allow you to find healing within yourself and put you on a fulfilling life path.

Being born with Saturn in Leo means you may have difficulty expressing your talents and, perhaps, what makes you truly unique. Learning how to thrive in the “limelight” will enable to grow and evolve.

As the sun (a star!) rules over Leo, it urges you to express yourself by showing the world the beautiful things you can create. A career in the arts and even embracing a hobby as a performer can help you overcome your (literal and figurative) stage fright.

If your Saturn sign is in Virgo, you are a master at building strong foundations and creating success in your career. You have impeccable attention to detail, which most likely landed you a job as an editor, fact-checker, or even accountant.

However, this planet-sign combination also means you have a tendency to overwork yourself. While your devotion to perfectionism is admirable, it can also drive you to have weak boundaries and eventually burn yourself out. Learning to relax and be less nit-picky with yourself and others is your biggest life lesson.

Being born with Saturn in Libra gives you an incredible sense of responsibility. Whether it’s career, friendships, or love—when you’re in it, you’re in it for the long haul. You trust people and they trust you, as you’re a master in the art of relating to others.

You do struggle with indecision, though, due to a deep fear of making a mistake. To avoid this analysis paralysis, you must trust that you’re doing your best. Libra is Saturn’s absolute favorite sign to be in (lucky you!), so trust in your innate ability to see both sides of the story.

Having the planet of responsibility in the most intense of all zodiac signs makes you incredibly strong and resilient. Possessing all that Saturn-Scorpio power and stamina means you can do it all.

However, being a force of nature also comes with a deep fear of being vulnerable. To avoid feeling stiff and getting stuck, it’s crucial that you embrace the power of change—it's the only constant in life, after all! Learning to trust others and relate to them on an intimate level is also a key part of your lifelong journey.

If your Saturn is in the optimistic sign of Sagittarius, you may have a bit of trouble accessing this feeling at times. You must realize that your periods of growth are intermittent—they won't always arrive when you expect them.

A true philosopher in nature, you do better when you focus your time and energy on learning, as this planet-sign combination is all about expanding the higher mind. While world travel might have been difficult for you in your earlier years, it is also a vehicle for self-knowledge. Explore!

If you were born with the planet of responsibility in the most ambitious of all signs, you’re the epitome of authority. This is the planet-sign combination CEOs are made of, so you’re most likely in a position of authority within your industry.

You’re dependable and capable, but can sometimes be a bit too rigid with the rules. This is merely because failure isn’t in your vocabulary. However, relinquishing control once in a while teaches you that making mistakes is a big part of your journey toward self-mastery.

If your Saturn is in Aquarius, you're a trendsetter, which is something you likely noticed at an early age. You may have grown up feeling like you didn't belong and only needed to know the rules so you could break them. You’re an intellectual, a deep thinker, and someone whose role might be bringing humanity into the future (no pressure!).

You might struggle with certain contradictions, like, for example, toggling between being introverted and extroverted, and even holding traditional and futuristic points of view simultaneously. A career in which you can build a vision for the future based on tried and trusted methods is a great way for you to harness your inherent gifts.

If your Saturn sign is Pisces, you might struggle with building your life’s foundations the traditional way. Because the ringed planet influences work and career, making a living via a typical nine-to-five office job can feel limiting to you. Since you thrive on change, you do better when you leave yourself room to make adjustments in anything you do.

Your belief system is also in constant flux, which might sometimes make you feel like you're having an identity crisis and create the illusion of “feeling lost.” Learning to embrace, not escape, the pressures of reality is your true lesson in life, as is having strong boundaries.
