The planet Saturn also known in antiquity as Cronos (father of time) among other names, devoured his children at birth to avoid the prophecy that said that one of them was going to usurp the throne.
In astrology, it is related to the sign of Capricorn, which is a cardinal sign of the earth element.
It is identified with government and business structures, with great responsibilities, with justice, laws and large contracts. On a personal level, it is identified with the figure of the father and depending on the house in which Saturn is in the Natal Chart, so it will be the impact on the life of the native.
In addition to the house where it is located, if Saturn makes any aspect with personal planets such as the moon, the sun, mercury, Venus and Mars, the impact on the native takes another dimension. These aspects can be favorable or not, but they take another magnitude given than Saturn’s energy get magnified.
These will be periods that will not go unnoticed in the person’s life.

Saturn in the Natal Chart is the backpack that we carry on our back since we are born; it represents the test to be overcome in this life. Depending on the house where it resides in the natal chart, it will be the subject to deal with. The cycles represent periods of low, medium and high energy. Positive medium or high-energy cycles provide the possibility of facing Saturn’s aspects to work hard and set foundations of things. If nothing is done during these periods, when hard aspects present themselves life will be complicated.
The first square occurs when the person is around 7 years of age. In that period, the environment and the perception of one as a person takes a turn. During this period more independence and some small responsibilities could be acquired. The child realizes that he is an independent functioning unit, and that actions have some consequences. Until this period, the child sees itself as part of a group where everything in one.

When the first opposition occurs around 14-15 years old, the changes that began to produce at the physical level some time ago, are the issue of this period. The natural reaction is against the structure established in the immediate environment and the questioning of this, and even possible reactions against adults or authority figures. This is a low frequency period. The native does not have maturity, or experience, or knowledge to be able to handle that energy and reveals himself. This period can be maintained until the second descending square when it reaches 22-23 years of age.

Depending on the environment that the person grows up, the education and life’s perspective learned, so it will be the actions and decisions to be taken with the Saturn return, which happens when the person is 28-29 years old.
If the person takes the right path in handling new responsibilities and do the necessary changes and adjustments presented during this period, it will be taking a big step forward in the maturation and the evolutionary process. It raises the person frequencies and things get aligned in the right direction.

If on the contrary, the person takes the path of ‘no change’ and avoids assuming responsibilities, then the person is taking the path of low energy, and this will have negative consequences and probably big challenges in the future.
The second square ascending at 35-36 years of age is a period of consolidation and provides the opportunity to deal with the pending themes that remained open from the first return that occurred few year back.

When the person is around 42-43 years old, the opposition of Uranus occurs.
If from the first Saturn’s return, things were not handled correctly, things will get complicated now, and the person will analyze its life until now with a negative perspective of the glass as ‘half empty’. The are two possible paths to take, and depending on which one is taken that will determine the future life of the native. Never underestimate your free will.
