Saturn’s Transit in 7th House For Leo Ascendants: An Exercise In Humility

Leo risings have what my 18 yr old kid calls as ‘Main character’ energy. The sort of individuals who enter a room expecting all eyes to be on them. They are like the proverbial Sun, shining their light on everyone around them. Energising the room with their big smile, warmth, childlike joy and fun loving nature. The natal placement of the Sun will modulate this superficial sun-like appearance further.

Since 2020, Leo risings have had Saturn transit their 6th house in Capricorn. This may have indicated health challenges with roots in your past. A physiological issue that had been neglected for years, and maybe decades, may have emerged with a vengeance between 2020-23. Some of you may have had to have surgeries, frequent hospitalisations and doctor visits. Those with their natal Sun in the 6th may have had a particularly harrowing 3 years. Sun-Saturn do not get along. As an aside- Natal placements of Saturn in Leo and Sun in Aquarius/Capricorn are very challenging energies to address and take a lifetime to integrate into our personality.

Saturn enters (sidereal) Aquarius on the 18th of January 2023. Those who have natal Sun in (sidereal) Capricorn will have their birthdays in January 2023. (Happy Birthday).

As Saturn enters your 7th house in January and will transit Aquarius until 2025, you may need to be mindful of:

Shining the light within.

As I’ve said earlier, Sun and Saturn are no bueno. Not friends. At all. So when Saturn enters the 7th in shatabisha nakshatra in April 2023 and looks at your 1st house, expect relationships to go sort of sideways. Your interpersonal life may become chaotic and unruly. It may be mystifying why and how a person could suddenly disappear from your life. You may be hard pressed to find a reason for others ghosting you, standing you up, being unreliable, not allowing you to have your moment in the sun. You may find others, deliberately or not, opposing your plans and wishes. You may find that your usual audience is missing.

What does a Leo rising do when their audience is missing? Where do they shine their light and how would they source their validation? From themselves. And that’s the whole point of the next 3 years. To disengage from external validation and turn your attention inwards.

Releasing power struggles

As Saturn in Aquarius casts its 10th house aspect on your 4th house in Scorpio, you may find it extremely challenging to release control of your daily routine, your mother or your family members. If your 4th house lord Mars is in another fixed sign- say Scorpio itself (4th), Taurus(10th) or Aquarius (7th), then expect the challenges x2. You would be faced with situations again and again where you may feel like nothing is going as planned, everything is chaotic and order is slipping through your fingers.

However, these next three years will prepare you to be flexible and responsive rather than rigid and fixed. Saturn will help you flow and adapt to the ebb and flow through intuitive awareness and a sense of detachment.
