Since I covered progressed Jupiter in astrology recently, I wanted to also go into progressed Saturn. Like progressed Jupiter, progressed Saturn doesn't get as much attention in the progressed chart either because Saturn doesn't move very far in the progressed chart. Saturn spends even longer than Jupiter in one sign, around 2 1/2 years, so progressed Saturn doesn't move that much from the natal positions. For most of us, Saturn will remain in the same sign and house; but for some people, progressed Saturn will change. You generally need to be born with Saturn late in sign (say 24+ degrees) in order for your progressed Saturn to move forward into a new sign at some point in your life; or you need to be born with Saturn very early in a sign (say under 5 degrees) and turn retrograde quickly for Saturn to move back to the previous sign at some point in your life. It generally goes the same for the houses; if your Saturn is less than 5 degrees from a house cusp, Saturn may move forward into a new house (if Saturn is in the previous house); if Saturn is in a house and under 5 degrees from the cusp, it may move backward into the previous house (if Saturn moves retrograde). What do progressed charts mean?
A progressed chart is created by adding one day to your date of birth for every year you've been alive to create a new chart that reflects your maturation and growth into adulthood. We all change with age, and the progressed chart reflects that. It's used in predictive astrology, and tracking the movement of the progressed chart can indicate events in your life and shifting focuses over time.
So wait, can your natal chart change?
Don't worry, your natal chart is still your natal chart. The progressed chart is a brand new chart used in conjunction with your natal chart and transits for predictive analysis.
What the planet Saturn represents in astrology
Saturn is the planet of restriction and limitation, at its core. Saturn can restrict and limit energy associated with whatever is being impacted, and there can be lessons to learn, responsibilities to take on, and discipline to adhere to. In your natal chart, the sign and house position of your natal Saturn can show where you have lessons to learn, are a late bloomer, have to take on responsibilities, or feel restricted and limited in life.
When your progressed Saturn moves into a new sign or house, this can show a shifting in where that energy is expressed, and you may start feeling restrictions and limitations in other areas of life, have other lessons to learn, or take on new responsibilities. If Saturn is moving forward into a new sign, when at the very end of the sign it's leaving, it'll be at 29 degrees. This is the anaretic degree, a point of extreme energy in the progressed chart, and for that period when progressed Saturn is at 29 degrees, you may feel like you have lessons that you absolutely must learn right now or responsibilities you must take care of right away before you feel you lose the chance (meaning before Saturn changes signs). This can be a critical period that can be unsettling with Saturn. If Saturn is moving backward (retrograde) into a new sign, when it very first enters that new sign, it'll be at 29 degrees. This can bring that intense energy right off of the bat, but it'll be focused on the new sign instead of the old one (likely the original natal sign). When your progressed Saturn moves into a new house, this can put Saturn conjunct (aligned with) the house cusp for some time (years). When progressed Saturn is within 1-2 degrees of the house cusp, you'll start to feel it more, and have more responsibilities, more limitations, and more lessons in those areas of life the house rules, and have to be more disciplined, mature, and focused.
