Prominent Saturn in the Natal Chart

If you have a prominent natal Saturn in your natal chart, you can feel Saturn's energy strong in your life and personality. You understand the power of Saturn in astrology better than anyone!

​You may seem a little Capricorn at times since Saturn is the natural ruler of Capricorn, even if you don't have any Capricorn planets of planets in the 10th house (ruled by Saturn). You can be more responsible, mature, and goal-oriented.

What does strong Saturn mean?

The upside to having a prominent natal Saturn is you can be someone who can seem quite wise, and you can learn a lot from life. You can be ambitious and disciplined, hard-working and realistic, and you can put together long-term plans that you follow through with. You can be a leader, and know how to get things done. You can manage responsibilities, and people can rely on you when needed.

The downside to having a prominent natal Saturn is you can get crushed by the restrictive energy of Saturn. You may be easily overwhelmed, feel like you're suffocating at times, and have too much weight to carry. You may be given more responsibilities than reasonable, and have very hard lessons to learn in life. The more you fight it all, the worse life can get for you. 

You have to be the ultimate Saturn when you have a strong natal Saturn. Always be responsible, always do things the right way and for the right reasons, always think things through, and always consider others. Being reckless, irresponsible, inconsiderate, or immature will aggravate Saturn, and then Saturn will make your life very difficult!

With a prominent natal Saturn, you get some of Saturn's grounding energy, even if you're someone who has a lot of water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) or air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). It can also calm down fire energy (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). If you have a lot of earth energy to go with Saturn (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), this can make you seem like a super grounded earthy type. But it can also mean you struggle with imagination and connection, so that may be something you have to work on.

How do you know if you have a prominent natal Saturn?

You qualify if your natal Saturn is:
​
- conjunct a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars)
- conjunct one of the angles (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th house cusps)
- in the 1st house
- the most or least aspected planet
- a singleton (the only planet in an element, quality, or house type)
- anaretic (at 29 degrees)
- at the Aries Point (o degrees of a cardinal sign)

Any of these can make your Saturn stand out and give you the power of Saturn in astrology.
