Saturn’s Transit in 8th House For Cancer Ascendants*: Time To Create A Safety Net.
*Note: I use sidereal chart, whole signs, Lahiri ayanamsa in this entire post.
Transit Saturn results for Scorpio ascendants*
Saturn entered Aquarius in your 4th house on the 30th of April coinciding with the solar eclipse in Aries in your 6th house. As Saturn transits the 4th, expect upheavals at home. You may be forced to relocate. I say forced because the matter would be out of your hands as such. Usually, as Saturn aspects the 10th house while transiting the 4th, you may relocate for work. However, your work may be very disappointing for you in some way. It may be a cause for dissatisfaction and frustration as there could be delays and obstacles in your projects or professional growth may be stalled.
“Stop watering dead plants”
As the 4th house also signifies the home environment, especially the relationships within your family, expect some friction or distancing in your family relationships. There could be coldness or emotional distance between you and your mother/mother figures. As Saturn casts its 3rd aspect on your 6th house, where it is in its fall, you may face fierce competition at work, or you may be burdened by a routine that is heavy on drudgery and attention to detail. There could be health issues that crop up during the next 2-3 years, however, they would be easily handled by you.
You may need to work harder than usual in all areas of your life. As transit Saturn casts its 10th aspect on your ascendant, you may find the demands placed on you by your family members too high or too unreasonable. You may begin to question your family dynamics, and by the end of this transit in 2024/25, may decide to let go of your vision or ideal of a family and accept reality, however disappointing and frustrating it could be. This releasing is just what you need for your future though; as the pruning and cutting off of what does not serve you will focus energy into parts of your life that are productive, fruitful and propel growth.
Check your sidereal Scorpio ascendant degree. Then check the description below to pinpoint the peak stress period in the next two years.
If your ascendant is between 0 to 5 degrees
If your ascendant is between 0 to 5 degrees of Scorpio, you will feel the effects of the 4th house saturn transit starting 1st May 2022 until 13th July 2022 when Saturn retrogrades back into your 3rd house in Capricorn. It moves forward into the 4th house again on the 18th of January 2023 and reaches 5 degrees by first week of March 2023.
If your ascendant is between 5 to 10 degrees
Scorpio ascendants between 5 and 10 degrees will begin feeling the intensity starting 10th March 2023 until April end 2023. And during the retrograde- 9th August 2023 to end of November 2023
If your ascendant is between 10 to 15 degrees
April 16th to August 22nd 2023, it includes the direct motion as well as retrograde. January 12th to March 3rd 2024 in direct motion.
if your ascendant is between 15 to 20 degrees
25th February 2024 to 15th April 2024 is peak intensity for these five degrees. A relatively short time. However, because these are the middle degrees, and planets are supposed to be very powerful in the middle degrees, expect intensity x 100.
If your ascendant is between 20 to 25 degrees
7th of April 2024 to 25th February 2025. Saturn will spend the most time transiting back and forth within these five degrees. However, once its done, its done.
If your ascendant is between 25 to 30 degrees.
If your ascendant is towards the last 5 degrees of Scorpio, 1st peak would be around 17th February 2025 to 29th March 2025 in direct motion. This last week of March when Saturn transits the 29th degree of Aquarius will be very intense for those with their ascendant at 28 or 29 deg of Scorpio. However, once Saturn enters Pisces in April, there is no returning back to Aquarius for another 29-30 years. So, think of it as a 6 week trial by fire.
