If you are a generation born in 1959-1962 or 1988-1991, you have Saturn in Capricorn (check in natal chart). We also had this during 2017-2020 when something important could have happened in your life that left a mark.

Besides famous lunar nodes that are important for eclipses, did you know that other planets also have nodes? Lunar nodes are not the only one, but are the most talked about because they help us understand our emotional life, roots and relationships with important people.

Life’s difficulties and misfortunes have always been attributed to Saturn since the early days of astrology. Modern astrology, which I practice, sees Saturn as a teacher of the most important life lessons. In a natal chart, this planet shows us how we experience personal responsibility, how mature and grown we are.

Our environment will always show us what we have failed to do, where we have not done enough and what is within ourselves still not good enough to pass the Saturn’s test. For this reason, external circumstances, and as long as we blame them for the situations in our lives, are only the context necessary to learn the essential lessons of life. As soon as we learn to accept our circumstances and open up to embrace them even when they are painful we are being offered a chance to evolve.
