Astro Gradual, unlocking your Cosmic heartbeat

Saturn conjunction Ascendant

With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, you tend to be conservative and responsible, at least outwardly. You may come across as especially solemn or austere and repress some of the emotions that you feel inside. Saturn conjunction Ascendant doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re shy, although you may have felt a bit repressed socially as a child. Usually, this is something you grow out of as you age. However, this aspect does mean that you have a misplaced sense of responsibility. You probably feel responsible for your family members or friends, even if their problems aren’t your fault. Saturn conjunction Ascendant can also mean that your parents placed a lot of responsibility on you from a young age, although this isn’t always the case. In this scenario, you learned that other people’s issues were your problems. Now, you feel that it is your duty to “fix” things. You probably experience a huge amount of guilt if you try to ignore these issues. You may also feel that you struggle to take risks. You’re always playing it safe or hesitating socially. This doesn’t mean that you don’t engage in risky behaviours, but simply that you don’t go after the things you really want because you’re afraid to try. With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, you may feel that the Universe holds you back in life. It can start to seem like your whole existence revolves around the concept of “one step forward, two steps back.” Keep in mind that the Saturn conjunction Ascendant aspect transforms greatly after your first Saturn return. As you grow older, simple problems can start to feel complicated and heavy. You carry around a lot of responsibility, but this can start to overwhelm you. It’s sometimes easier to just avoid your problems, but then you’re left with a vague sense of guilt.

With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, your status in society is likely intimately tied to your appearance and identity. For instance, you could be very tall or short. It probably wasn't easy for you to come into this world, whether that's your actual birth story or how you look at this life as a soul incarnation. Yet, you can't help but feel this marks you for a special destiny, and that may weigh heavily on you. It could prompt you to be ambitious and assume loads of responsibility and leadership, even at an early age. Or you might move through life with a heavy heart and a chip on your shoulder. Either way, you can take your life and self too seriously. You're earnest and work hard, but you lament that others (especially adults when you're younger) don't live up to their own ideals. As you mature, you can learn to lighten up and be able to laugh at life and everyone's foibles, including your own. The positive thing about this aspect is that these people are prudent and honest. The negative side of this aspect is that they can feel obstructions and difficulties in gaining popularity among people. They also get tired easily and they may suffer from frequent colds and attacks of rheumatism.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant

With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, it’s really important that you actively deal with your problems instead of avoiding them. Work is the best antidote, however you need to make sure that you’re working on something that feels right in your gut. Don’t do a task just because you feel like you “should.” Don’t leave things until the last minute because they can build up and cause depression. In fact, loneliness or pessimism, resulting in depression, is common with Saturn conjunction Ascendant. These are things that you need to actively work to improve so that you can eventually lead a happier, more peaceful life. It’s important that you spend time working on your self-confidence. You may feel that you’re never enough, but this comes from a sense of inner guilt. Others can’t see that this is why you will go out of your way to help someone. You must learn how to do what’s good for you, not what other people want you to do. You have a lot of fear and apprehension about living in the moment. You try not to react, so you may come off as slightly cold during conflicts, but this is because your Saturn restricts your emotions from shining through.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant tends to manifest as a person who is perhaps more shy, reserved or even conservative; this is because Saturn is the planet of limitation, restriction etc. while the ascendant represents a person’s identity and how they come across to others. Responsibility is often a key theme or aspect of a person’s life if they have this aspect; they may feel responsible for others, struggle with responsibility, feel burdened by responsibility or take on the responsibilities of others because it is what they are used to dealing with; they may feel responsible for things that are not actually anything to do with them, e.g. feeling guilty for problems that are not their own fault or caused by themselves] or may have experienced people dumping their responsibilities onto them from a young age/early in life. Because of their possible issues with responsibility, they may struggle with feeling like they need to be serious or the responsible one in life as this may simply be what they are used to; sometimes they may feel like they cannot relax, unwind or have fun because they are too concerned with their responsibilities or things they need to do. People with this aspect tend to be the type to worry a lot; what makes this worse is that not only do they have a tendency to worry a lot about their own problems, but they also become overly concerned with the problems of others; burdening themselves with other peoples issues and even feeling like it is their responsibility to resolve or take on the burden of other peoples issues.

Sometimes, people Saturn conjunction Ascendant aspect may feel very down and exhausted as at times it can seem like the universe is playing them and testing them; they may experience struggles, delays, restrictions, challenges etc. frequently and at times this may cause them to feel like success/achievement etc. is being denied for them -if they have experienced a lot of setbacks and struggles, this can cause them to be extremely cautious and at times even pessimistic which can also lead them to worry even more; perhaps struggling to feel confident in their abilities/skills, even constantly feeling like they aren’t ready or aren’t deserving of success, this negative mindset can create a negative cycle of self-doubt followed by hesitation to take action, leading to the reinforcement of the belief that they are incapable of achieving whatever it is that they want. People with this aspect will do well to understand that it is not good to constantly procrastinate or put things off out of doubt, fear, worry or hesitation; it will only make them feel less confident, ensure they miss out on opportunities and cause them to doubt themselves even more than when they started. It is important that they keep working towards what they want and do not let fear based mentalities hold them back; this doubt will only hold them back and make things worse for them, they need to learn to take action despite any insecurity they may feel.

People with this aspect may experience feelings of depression, loneliness, insecurity, pessimism etc and they may also have a tendency to often ‘get too into their head’ and become consumed by their worries/doubts/negativity etc. A lot of issues they experience may be helped or avoided by constantly taking action and trying their hardest not to remain idle; when they aren’t doing, they will usually be getting lost in their own head which is never good for them, because of this, people with this aspect may benefit from writing to do lists, journaling, planning, preparing etc so that they know what they need to do and know what steps they need to take to get it done; they are usually not the type to be able to take action spontaneously and usually need to feel a sense of achievement after ticking tasks off that they planned to do, otherwise they may slip into feelings of negativity and end up procrastinating/hesitating/putting things off. This aspect does seem to bring with it a lot of negative traits/experiences, but many of the things that those with it in their chart may struggle with in life do tend to improve as they get older; Saturn is often the planet that teaches us lessons to improve ourselves so once we learn to improve or work with these less desirable traits/experiences we can become better and feel better [for example, with age and experience, people with this aspect may learn to worry less and take life less seriously because they have been through situations that have taught them that it is okay to have fun and not be so serious/responsible all the time]. Although people with this aspect may have a tendency to procrastinate [this can seem very contradictory to their tendency to be overly responsible; but this sense of responsibility can be very pressuring and worrying for them which causes them to put things off in an attempt to find relief from this] if they are eventually able to learn to take action, embrace opportunities as they come and get things done, they will likely be respected/admired for their hard work, reliability, loyalty, attention to detail etc. Even though people with this aspect may be big worriers; their experience with responsibility usually allows them to be good at providing advice to others and they are also usually the type to be good in a crisis or in difficult times as they are used to handling things [even if they might not feel like they are good at dealing with things, in the moment where they are forced to take action they usually handle it well.

Those with Saturn conjunction Ascendant are often very time conscious; time is commonly something that can bring them a lot of stress/worry/concern; they may frequently experience feelings of 'time running out’, 'not enough time’, 'waiting for the right time’, 'needing to do things at the right time’ etc. Because Saturn is the planet of restriction and the ascendant impacts self-expression and identity; people with this aspect may come across as cold or reserved to others. if they are particularly self-aware, they will know that they come across this way to others which can cause them even more stress and cause them to worry that they don’t come across well to others, which can lead them to struggle to connect with people [again, doubt/fear holding them back]. On a lighter, slightly brighter note, these people are often the type to be caring and can tend to take on the 'motherly’ role in a friendship group; they are seen as responsible, dependable, good at giving advice etc. [maybe others cannot sense/understand their inner turmoil and instead only notice their ability to handle responsibilities and show compassion to others]. If they aren’t particularly reserved, cold or shy, it may just be that they instead have more of a desire/inclination to try to control how they are seen by others; as Saturn is the planet of restriction, it is possible that people with this aspect can still act confident and outgoing yet really want to restrict how people see them and only want others to perceive them on their terms. As Saturn is the planet of rules and limitations; people with this aspect may have a lot of rules they have set for themselves, and these may or not actually limit them from things more than they serve them. Even if a person with this aspect is very confident and self-expressive, they may at times feel a bit held back by their tendency to be very concerned about how they are seen/perceived by others, they may feel at times like no matter how carefree/confident they try to be, they still struggle to 'let go’ or be exactly who they want to be out of fear of looking stupid to others or being judged by others [therefore, in some cases their confidence may just be a carefully curated mask of a personality that they think others will like to see and will respond to better.

People with this placement are not doomed to struggle with their identity/image/self-expression their whole life, though! every step they make to express themselves authentically, develop their confidence, fight their doubts/insecurities etc. will provide them with increased confidence and a sense of achievement; some aspects of life [taking action, showing their true selves etc. may be simply harder for them but once they learn to relax around others, let go more, take action, get out of their head etc. they will be able to embrace more opportunities, develop their sense of self, build their confidence and become more self-assured etc. It is important for people with this aspect to learn to find balance; balance between handling responsibility and letting loose, balance between discipline and risk-taking, balance between timing things right and taking action.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant natal makes you a shy and conservative person. Responsibility is the main keyword for this aspect. You feel responsible for your family and others, for problems that are not your fault and have many responsibilities placed on you from an early age. You feel you must be the serious one and do the hard work. You certainly have a strong work ethic, but being too responsible is such a thing. You already worry enough about your problems, so it is important not to worry about other people’s issues. They will probably feel that you are interfering in the matters anyway. You have to deal with many delays and restrictions. It will often seem that the universe is holding you back for some reason, denying you success and happiness. You may sense that the time is incorrect or you need more experience and learn more lessons. As a result, you can become hesitant or too scared to be proactive or daring to take risks. This overly cautious attitude can make it difficult for you to make friends. You may hesitate to make the first move with someone you like. Procrastination is not your friend, and you will miss many opportunities and relationships if you keep putting things off. If you put things off, simple problems or tasks can become more challenging. You have to take responsibility every step of the way. The more stuff you leave outstanding, the more you will worry. The antidote for worry is work. Do not stay idle. Loneliness, pessimism and depression can be avoided by not leaving things to the last minute. In your diary, write a list of things you need and want to do daily. Tick them off as you go, and you will notice a significant improvement in your self-confidence. Even write down things you have done so you can look back with pride at your achievements. You may be painfully shy when young, but this severe aspect does improve with age. Saturn is a late bloomer. You will master those things you were fearful of. You will gain respect for your hard work, attention to detail and reliability. Your lover will admire you for your dependability and loyalty. You may have many responsibilities in your personal and professional life, but someone has to do it. You have the necessary qualities to take charge in times of crisis. People will come to you for advice because you will be an authority in your chosen field.

With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, you may also feel a bit restricted physically, as though you’re out of place in your body. This aspect can make you feel very self-conscious about your appearance. In fact, your appearance can be karmic, so you’re always struggling against it. As a child, you may have been shy or felt out of place. You probably felt awkward or wrong in your body and tried to avoid expressing your emotions. It was almost like you just couldn’t break through, no matter how hard you tried. Don’t lose hope! Saturn is always a late bloomer, so you will find that these issues change dramatically as you near your first Saturn return. You can learn how to master these very things that caused so much trouble for you. Learn to take responsibility for yourself and do those daily tasks that make you feel in your gut. Avoidance is the worst thing for you, but you need to make sure that you’re actively focusing on what you want, not what others want. This will help you grow socially, too, and you will learn to accept your body and your place in life. With Saturn conjunction Ascendant, each small personal success that you have will build your self-confidence. This aspect takes time to heal, but it can eventually make you very responsible for yourself and dedicated to living your happiest, truest life, even publicly. You will start to notice that you feel a sense of guilt for yourself when you do too much for others. This is a sign that you are betraying yourself and is where much of your depression and anxiety stems from.

Learn to follow your gut instincts to heal Saturn conjunction Ascendant. Focus on what feels right instead of what you “should” do. There are no “shoulds” with Saturn. Over time, you will start to relax and learn these lessons naturally. Saturn feels much less strict as you age, but you also have to push yourself to face your fears and figure out solutions.  There is lots of potential for transformation with Saturn conjunction Ascendant! Ultimately, you can live a life of peace where you’re totally responsible for your own needs. With this aspect, you really can create the life you want long-term with a bit of effort. In the natal chart, Saturn aspects to the Ascendant dictate how serious and responsible you appear. When your Ascendant is influenced by Saturn, you can seem conservative, bland, closed-off, uptight, or simply business-like. After all, Saturn is all about restrictions. These aspects will typically restrict your Ascendant from totally shining through, though they can be helpful or difficult. With Saturn-Ascendant aspects, you may struggle to show your true emotions or even your inner self. You might feel stuck behind the repressive, Saturnian mask.  Sometimes, people with these aspects are true old souls, while others might distant or aloof. There are both benefits and difficult parts of these Saturn-Ascendant aspects. Any of these aspects are relatively painful, especially when compared to other Ascendant aspects, yet they help you work through your Saturn in relationship to the outside world, too.

Your appearance and personality are greatly influenced by Saturn's conjunction with your Ascendant. This energy tends to dominate, making you appear more serious and responsible. However, you may find yourself holding back in expressing your emotions and identity due to shyness and an excessive concern for how others perceive you. This fear of judgment can inhibit your self-expression and make you hesitant. But as you gradually overcome your reluctance, each success you achieve will boost your self-confidence. Your steadfast determination will eventually propel you to the pinnacle of any endeavour you choose to pursue. It is important to find a balance between caution and taking risks, as you may struggle with decision-making and waver at times. By learning to relax and trust your instincts, you can seize opportunities that might otherwise pass you by. Strive to strike a harmonious equilibrium between security and spontaneity in your life. Find the right blend of fun and responsibility. Career and success hold significant importance for you, and you possess the ability to work diligently towards your goals with perseverance and discipline. Allow yourself to embrace calculated risks without being overly impulsive. Reflect on how you can navigate the delicate balance between caution and spontaneity. How can you cultivate a sense of self-assurance that allows for both responsible decision-making and the courage to seize opportunities? Embrace your uniqueness and variety of experiences as you navigate the challenges and opportunities associated with Saturn conjunction Ascendant.

Stable, tinge of gravity to personality, gloomy, has a hard time deciding whether to laugh or smile, very pessimistic, only sees the dark side of things
