SUN SQUARE SATURN

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

It is important to understand that the Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride, while Saturn rules the father, limitations and authority figures. Saturn restricts, holds back, stabilizes and limits.

Even though this aspect reveals strong ambitions, there is a hefty dose of fear and expectation of rejection. This can make Life feel like a royal pain in the ass, wherein the individual feels like they are living a Life of hardship and drudgery. If Jupiter or the Sun have other favorable aspects to them in the chart, this can offset the challenging results of this aspect.

This aspect is accompanied by the sound of the individual who approaches every subject or question with a knot (not) in it. There seems to be a contraction (n't) or the word 'not' embedded in the verbiage.

The perfect 'fictional character' representing the Sun square Saturn is George Costanza from the TV series 'Seinfeld'. He was negative, down, depressed and anxious all the time. When he was excited and happy, he lit up a room, but when he was frustrated and down, he brought down the world.

No matter what is said or stated, this aspect often responds with a 'constant' need for reassurance that is accompanied by constant doubt. This would be like the person who always asked, "Is that bad?" or "Is that wrong?" The Sun square Saturn is insatiable as it is incapable of being satisfied. It's just too damn much lemon.

Even though the Sun square Saturn has excellent business qualities and is known for being steady, skeptical and persistent, it feels like a burden because it is carrying a heavy load of responsibility. It's heavy! No matter what occurs in Life, doing it, whatever it is, is hard. It just can't be easy for some reason. This aspect will make you learn the hard way and nothing comes easy if THAT is how you need to learn. Some people just need to learn how to say, "No". Simple as that, without hesitation, reservation or guilt.

A really easy fix would be to simply step away. Some things are for your figuring out, but some things are quite frankly, none of your business!!! This aspect gets wound up over everything. Instead of hearing the announcement, "Let the games begin!" this would be an announcement of, "Let the complaining begin!"

The Sun square Saturn is the classic 'sour disposition'. Picture yourself with a sour look on your face most of the time and that is exactly what this aspect looks like. It is as if your face is dramatically drawn in on itself with the eyebrows furrowed, downward and inward, with the mouth puckered, the cheeks drawn, the nose wrinkled, with a squishy face. This is the look 'all the time'. One frustration after another will take its toll until the face freezes like this. The disposition is pretty much bothered by everything.

Moms all around the globe used to say, "If you keep looking like that your face will freeze." But mom's nowadays are too busy doing what others should be doing (helicopter-parenting) that they are the ones left with frozen sour-faced expressions.

Watch it folks, especially if you have a surrounding a date when this aspect appears, which means this aspect would be in your Solar Return. When this aspect occurs as a transit for everyone else, it just looks like a really hard time as it will pass after the 'orb of influence'. But when it is solid in the Natal Chart or Solar Return it will feel like its bad day, almost every single day, until you learn how to channel the energy appropriately.

Like anything else, you have to handle it or find a way to lift it off your shoulders. Not everything is your business. Remember, Saturn is mature, self-disciplined, practical, responsible and adult. Doing what others should be doing with this energy would be enough to make anyone sour-faced.

This aspect is most definitely oppressive and will always feel like there is a lesson being learned. That's Saturn for ya'! This aspect is also naturally defensive, which can cause one to underestimate their potential and question their own self-worth. The road is paved with one setback after the other that must be learned and overcome before moving forward.

"Do it yourself!" may very well be the one thing you need to learn how to say to others, especially if they are doing less than you, for them.

Further, no one likes a sour disposition, not to mention there is nothing attractive about it. It's just too much lemon. The Sun square Saturn simply cannot find anything positive to express and the resting face is pretty much frozen, wrinkled up and snotty-faced. Those of you with birth dates surrounding this aspect during a date below will need to check your resting face constantly until your next birthday to make certain you do not have snot and boogers leaking from your nostrils. Sound gross?

The Sun square Saturn is squirting lemon juice on everything, no matter what is being stated, argued, presented, relayed, told, suggested, advised or shared. Suddenly a squirt of lemon sprays out of the mouth and lands on everything. Gosh, if there was ever a time for an 'invisible mask', this is it.

Another classic character of the Sun square Saturn is 'Eeyore' from Winnie-the-Pooh who is characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed and anhedonic. 'Anhedonia' is a severe psychological condition that describes a near-complete absence of enjoyment, motivation, and interest, with the inability to experience pleasure. The Sun square Saturn can show up this way.

Now before you turn to gloomy about this aspect, it might encourage you to know that it all depends on how you use these aspects.

For instance, there are going to be a whole mess of people in social media proclaiming their gloominess in one way or another thereby e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g this energy. You see that my dear astrotators is how you get people to agree with who you are. Right? That's how you feed feelings (like sourdough bread). You just keep feeding it what it needs to grow and that is an announcement about poor you.

Think of it this way, if you are posting selfies about how great you look waiting for the compliments to roll-in, then wouldn't the Universe honor your gloomy proclamations as well? Whether you do this in personal texts or public broadcasts (social media) the Universe will honor 'the order' you are placing if you need such hard lessons in Life.

Remember from a paragraph above, this aspect has excellent business qualities and is known for being steady, skeptical and persistent, and feels like a burden because it is carrying a heavy load of responsibility.

There are plenty of well-known incredibly successful people who have this aspect in exact degrees and I mean at 00 degrees and a couple of minutes - Oprah Winfey at 00 degrees 03 minutes, Salvadore Dali at 00 degrees 26 minutes who had schizophrenia and was also diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and paranoia, and Jason Alexander (George Costanza) 00 degrees 38 minutes. So Jason Alexander not only has this aspect in real Life in his Natal Chart, he played the classic character for this energy as well. It's like he played himself.

While this aspect can certainly be gloomy, it will cause an individual to look at the dark side first, which can be a very healthy thing when channeled appropriately. This enables the individual to 'prep' for the dark side and ward off trouble simply because they prepared for it. Think about it.

Folks, these aspects are not, for naught! They are to serve a purpose. A lot of people are going to pop-on social media and cry "poor-me" over this aspect thereby cranking out more of the same energy, since they are getting the masses to agree with their feelings, instead of using this energy appropriately,

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
