Saturn in Cancer

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Alanis as “you”.

The outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) travel very slowly and are called generational planets. Neptune and Pluto, for example, have entire generations in the same sign, that is why the position of these planets is not so important in personal horoscope interpretation. However, it is so much more important, if generational planets are at important points, if they form important aspects and their importance, of course, depends on the house they are in.

Saturn is the natural ruler of Capricorn and the planet that represents limitations, uneasiness, distrust, great teacher and karma. Saturn symbolizes the limitations in your life that you have to overcome on your path of personal growth.

The position of Saturn shows how you develop responsibility and discipline. It also importantly influences your career and life ambitions. It represents authorities, the elders hierarchy, time and hard and persistent work.

Saturn in Cancer

You focus a lot of your energy on creating firm foundations for the future. You have a very sensitive nature and your emotional well-being depends on material assurance. Although you are basically very ambitious, you don't like being in the forefront and rarely act aggressively in your progress.

Saturn in 11th house

As a rule, you have a lot of contact with bigger or stronger organizations and institutions. You are ambitious and committed, are always ready to cooperate and make compromises. Your commitment to higher goals often comes before being attached to just one person or your love life. You are a person of higher ideals and you often, sooner or later, dedicate your life and work to mankind as a whole and not to an individual or to a personal emotional relationship.

Saturn inconjunct Neptune

You sometimes have difficulty balancing your firm and organized nature with strong emotions and vivid imagination. You want to secure safety for yourself and try being earthly, reasonable and stable, but at the same time, you are attracted to mysteriousness and spirituality and sometimes you get carried away by your emotions.

Saturn square Pluto

You are very ambitious; success, power and reputation are very important to you and so is material security, so you often invest an enormous amount of energy into business, but your character is not especially flexible and adaptable, so business is not always as successful as you would want it to be.
