Saturn and Ascendant in Your Birth Chart

Conjunction: Saturn and Ascendant

This aspect makes you serious and businesslike. Sometimes you take those qualities too far: you become overly conscientious and take setbacks much too seriously. At such times, you try to control everything and let nothing escape your attention. You can't always relax and let events take their course.

Under this aspect's influence, you may experience occasional bouts of anxiety and self-doubt. Try to make time for romance and fun. You need a break sometimes.

Harmonious aspects: Saturn and Ascendant

This aspect teaches seriousness and selflessness. Saturn allows your organizational skills to come through. Sometimes you have to take responsibility for other people's actions, and you see that as your duty.

From time to time, you may feel like an outsider at work, not quite comfortable in your coworkers' company. At such times, you look for something to do: work gives you pleasure.

Unfamiliar situations can leave you at a loss, and surprises throw you off balance. Try to take a calmer view of what's happening. You need to trust people more and overlook their minor shortcomings.

Challenging aspects: Saturn and Ascendant

This aspect shows itself in your tendency, from time to time, to solve problems on your own and refuse to ask for help, even when that hurts the outcome. At the same time, you're highly responsible and won't blame other people or your coworkers for mistakes. You're more than a little critical of yourself, though: perfectionism is one of your defining traits.

Sometimes you need to be alone and find it hard to get along with people, feeling as though they aren't even trying to understand you. Spend more time socializing, and let go of your fatalistic streak by recognizing that your destiny is in your own hands.
