This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be who you wish to become, but just be aware of how others may take this, but on the whole, you cannot please all the people, all the time so…..

More about Saturn transiting through the house and how to handle it.
How to deal with Saturn transiting through the houses continued
Saturn transit highlight how our actions represent how we experience the world; adversity will always happen.
So will restriction, but it’s how we cope with these facts of life, which decides our quality of life.
The house Saturn is transiting shows the area of your life that is being investigated and tested.
Saturn is the testing planet; want to be a doctor- well, do you have the dedication to train for 10-15 years to become one.
Want to be a layer, same, want to be an artist, will how can you support yourself whilst you make your dreams a reality? Saturn is a wake-up call – Saturn makes us get real and smell the coffee.
Regardless of your ambitions, perseverance is always needed to get to your end goal, and life will always throw obstacles your way; Saturn test how much you really want something.
The aspects to your natal chart Saturn makes and its influences with other transiting planets and whether it is exalted or in detriment in your natal chart.
Making trines, sextiles or conjuncts, squares, oppositions or quincunxes, all this as well as your numerology and environmental factors.
Soul age etc., will all influence the experiences during the Saturn transit through the astrological houses.
Saturn is the planet of karma on the esoteric level, so a lot of what takes place through Saturn transits can seem fated.
But to be forewarned is to be forearmed; life is not a fairytale, although we can make sure if we learn to dance in the rain and storms, shit will always happen.
Esoterically speaking, Saturn represents your higher consciousness, which is your actual teacher, Saturn’s energy is just delivering what you really want, helping you reveal who you really are.
You cannot control external events and people, but you can control how you interact and respond to them; Saturn wants you to take responsibility for your outlook, your ambitions and how you overcome the challenges of responsibility.
If you want a promotion, then it is you that must work for it, want to better your life, then it’s you that must change to bring it into reality; wishful thinking without action rarely brings change.
Saturn transits can bring shocking events that seem to come out of nowhere; however, it’s because you ignore your inner voice or dreams that these events shock you.
Of course, you have no control over the death of people, wars and otherworldly events, but more often than not, for instance, if someone is lying to us, we can get a gut feeling.
But we ignore these feelings, and then when that person’s deceptive actions come to light by external events. We act shocked; ok, we don’t always get the heads up.
But if you’re anything like the average human and me, we all been guilty of ignoring the writing on the wall, which is also the name of a destinies child album.
Some things are karma, but if you get advice on what your karma is, an astrology reading can help with this, then you know how to be on alert for karmic events, so you can avoid them.
Although you cannot always do this as the only way through some times is through, you can handle them more appropriately or in a timelier manner.
At times you can be out of touch with what you really want; all humans are guilty of it; we get caught up in paying bills, and yes, these must be paid.
But Saturn transits are trying to take you to where you really want to go; most of us get into a job and say we only going to do it for 2-5 years while we save so we can go back to university/ college, or get some other further education.
But then we get stuck in a routine, we get used to what was only meant to be temporary, then spend most of our lives complaining about it.
Saturn tries to shock us by external events to get us to go within to look at our real desires and hopes for our lives.
Saturn has a bad reputation in astrology as the lord of boundaries, but it is actually the great manifestor, of what you really want if you allow.
You may think you wanted that car you lost, but maybe it was what you really needed, you may think of thought you wanted that love, but perhaps they were not the best for you; what if connecting with them stop you from meeting your one.
And often this happens anyway as we typically shut down after heartbreak; I know it’s hard, as we have been programmed to cling and wallow, which we should do for some time, but not for our entire lives.
We must grieve what is lost, but we should never long for what doesn’t want us, as we miss what will cherish us.
When we do this, we cut ourselves off from the richness of life represented in spring and summer; yes, autumn and winter destroy, but spring rejuvenates, and so can the transit of Saturn if we allow.
Whatever Saturn takes away in transit, let it go; if it comes back, then it’s meant to be yours; I know this is hard; I been there, clinging, as well, as hey we programmed to do that.
All in all, Saturn transiting through the house needs you to pay attention to the matters of that house if you’re in alignment with your highest potential.
Then Saturn will add more organisation and order; if you are not, expect great changes that will align with your real ambitions.
You may have forgotten, which may bring you upset and despair as we humans can get lost in daily routine, forgetting our real wants and ambitions, as I said before.
Don’t resist and persist, flow let whatever wants to leave go, and let what’s yours flow, into your life, in time.
Self-awareness, getting real with yourself, and the skills and mindset it takes to achieve your highest ambitions.
Saturn transit only shock, because if you’re anything like the average human, you put up so many barriers to your own happiness.
The biggest one is convincing yourself you want, what you really want, or getting sucked into other people’s expectations and plans for your life.
If you are genuine with yourself, the Saturn transit is authentic with you.
A poem
Saturns lessons are so deep and vast
Egging us on to release the past
Yes, even if old friends are still a blast
Sometimes, the good things
Turn into bad
There is no reason
Its just life
Progress is the name of the game
Although letting go of our old loves
Live us lame, in bed in pain, guilt-ridden
Until our sin becomes our shame
And then all we see is rain
Because we fail to understand the lesson
That life blessings can become our living hells
And our living hells our blessings
The dualities of life
We are given life
Only to lose it in death
The trick is to see
We never really lose
We always gain
When we understand the restriction of time
Is an illusion, for all is just part of the everlasting cycle
Growth is the order of the universe.
