Saturn in the Houses

Now that we know what each of the Houses are called and what they govern, what happens when Saturn is in a House? First off, the planet is named after the Roman deity whose name is Saturn, and he is the god of agriculture, time, wealth, and regeneration. Saturday was also named after him. Saturn is the planet of work, discipline, fairness, and teaching lessons. It brings in influences of obstacles and hardship to success but doesn’t necessarily prevent it.

Saturn is a slower moving planet and will thus slow things down, but this gives time to learn more, truly enjoy the experience, and it also brings in misfortune and loss sometimes. It can bring in caution and careful organizing, as well as excellent leadership qualities. It can also bring in the presence of Irritability, too much aggression, and the tendency to complain too much. Let’s see what all of this does in the actual Houses.

Saturn in The First House

When Saturn is in your First House, it can make you a very considerate individual and caring about other people’s wellbeing. It can make you take great care in organizing and make you very thrifty. You want to be successful through your own hard work that you take great pride in, and you will be persistent, happy to roll up your sleeves and apply yourself no matter how long it takes to succeed. The planet in this House can make loss and misfortune happen when you are negligent or have bad habits, but it can also take away opportunities you would otherwise have had. If it brings struggle that you feel is a constant uphill battle, hang in there and don’t give up because your stellar work ethic can make you win out in the end!

Saturn in The Second House

When Saturn is in the Second House on your birth chart, it indicates that you can have financial gains from your father’s side of the family and make slow, and steady progress through wise investing, and being thrifty by not wasting resources. However, it can also make your hard work turn up little profit and you may watch good opportunities pass you by. If this happens, look at other parts of your birth chart for where and how it will be beneficial for you to find ways around those lost opportunities. Not all hope is lost, you just need to work smarter, not harder.

Saturn in The Third House

In the House of Communication, Saturn can make your friends shut off from you, or hold up education. It can make you prone to anxiety and over worry as well as bring in the risk of mental instability. However, it is said that as you age, this changes over to being wiser and more contemplative than people who never over-thought things. It can help deepen your ability to focus and concentrate and make you very responsible, diplomatic, and have fantastic mental control.

Saturn in The Fourth House

In the House of Family and Home, Saturn can isolate you from family or create sorrows originating from your parents, most especially your father. It makes you very interested in gathering wealth and possessions and if you are not careful, greed or hoarding can result, although there is nothing wrong with a good collection you take pride and joy in. It can make work heavily burdensome and create difficulties to being successful. It can also mean as you reach the end of life, you are isolated to some extent.

Saturn in The Fifth House

In the House of Pleasure, Saturn can create disappointments in love relationships, make you drawn to romantic partners who are significantly older than you are, and can create loss of your children or some form of unhappiness or heartbreak in regards to your kids. It can create loss in taking chances financially be it through investing or gambling or other forms of gaming, and there are times it can mean you can be injured by animals while doing things you enjoy. Take special care to never swim alone or boat without rafts or floats to avoid risk of drowning.

Saturn in The Sixth House

In the House of Health, Saturn warns you to take extra special care of your health, most especially because you can suffer illness or injury from things you have little control over. It’s not a good House for Saturn to be in if you dream of working in health care, and you can suffer all forms of ill health, even recurrently. It is advised that water helps and aids in healing, and that extra care should be taken to accrue sick time and keep excellent health insurance as well as the healthiest lifestyle possible to try and combat the possibility of health issues due to Saturn being in this House.

Saturn in The Seventh House

In the House of Partnerships, Saturn can create higher risk of not being compatible with a spouse who you marry fairly young. Typically, you will end up with somebody who is materially stable but is not emotionally demonstrative. If you don’t mind all this, that’s great! Not everybody loves sappy sweet romance anyways and some people prefer a devoted spouse who won’t file for divorce if the romance doesn’t stay red hot for decades. Be aware that Saturn can bring lawsuits and enemies through business and can create a lot of friction in partnerships in general. So, get every business contract in writing, and always read the fine print!

Saturn in The Eighth House

In the House of Sex and Death, Saturn can create financial issues once you are married, and your spouse may be dirt poor, or else drain your finances. You may have relatives fight you for your inheritance, if there is any inheritance at all, and you will find yourself mourning the death of your father. You will likely die from a chronic illness, or natural causes as opposed to some catastrophic accident that would cut your life short, and you very well might even get to enjoy living to a ripe old age!

Saturn in The Ninth House

In the House of Philosophy, Saturn makes you tend to gravitate towards studies of philosophy and occult sciences to find hidden truths, and you are typically quite intellectual. You may be prone to mental instability and may live through a period of at least temporary insanity, but you will have strong devotion to your religious path. Be extra careful on long trips in foreign places, most especially over water where risk of drowning is high.

Saturn in The Tenth House

In the House of Social Status, Saturn grants the ambition and the attitude that hard work will make you rise in social status, and there is a chance that opportunities may be withheld, and this can hold up success. Keep yourself in the best situations possible, not taking uncalculated risks because Saturn in the Tenth House can create the risk of your reputation being tarnished through no fault of your own. Success can be followed by downfall, so always have backup plans in the event things go badly.

Saturn in The Eleventh House

In the House of Friendships, Saturn means you probably have few friends, but that you value them above all else. It can also draw you to more studious, wise types of people. Saturn in the Eleventh House can plague you with untrue friends and partners who create loss and heartbreak. Remember that you are your own best friend and cut loose the people who are not loyal.

Saturn in The Twelfth House

In the House of the Subconscious, Saturn makes you somebody who acquires wealth and possessions as well as experiences, and somebody who works well on your own. You might also prefer living alone. One thing is certain, and that is that you value solitude on your own terms. Secret things can be your downfall, however, even secret enemies plotting your demise including unfair gossip that ruins your reputation. Be aware of the possibility of melancholia and dismal thoughts, and make sure if you are unfairly accused of things that you are not guilty of, you defend yourself to the end.

Mercury in The Fourth House

In the House of Family and Home, Mercury brings in a flurry of changes often. You may move around a lot, changing your address often, and if you want to, you will use this energy to do a travel-based job.

The eloquence of the fine arts and academic areas are where you gain a great amount of joy, and you can be very successful working in these fields or investing in helping other people to thrive in them.

You are also prone to worry about anybody you love and whatever befalls them, so watching over loved ones becomes a big part of your life.

Mercury in The Sixth House

In the House of Health, Mercury instills in you an active mind, but you are prone to overworking yourself, worrying too much, and being too easily influenced by things going on around you. Your worries can affect your health and you should take care not to literally “worry yourself sick.” You tend to shine in fields of medicine, chemistry, or hygiene and do quite well through writing about said topics. Just remember to take the necessary time off to relax your brilliant mind because the better you feel, the more you can help other people.

Mercury in The Seventh House

In the House of Partnerships, Mercury creates changeability in your life, but that is okay because you are highly adaptable to such changes. Your marriage partner may be younger than you, and your high energy level means even people much younger will have trouble keeping up with you! Your jobs and friendships may change often, and you may be in and out of romances until you settle down. You will be shrewd and you are a quick thinker who will be able to handle any lack or harmony all this changeability creates, able to reinvent yourself to adapt to new situations.

Mercury in The Eighth House

In the House of Sex, Mercury brings in heartbreak and loss from death of loved ones and at least one journey due to death will occur. You will have worries over money that you share with other people, and you should be careful not to let your nerves cause an early death by things like blood pressure shooting up when you are anxious. Intellectually, you excel at learning about the occult and various obscure topics, and it is said your mind will remain sharp until you pass on.

Mercury in the Ninth House

In the House of Philosophy, Mercury instills great love of art as well as science and great skills in writing.

If issues should arise on travels, keep your wits about you and don’t let over worrying get the better of you. Problems can happen for anybody and keeping a level head while handling those issues is the best way to combat them.

Mercury in The Tenth House

In the House of Social Status, Mercury brings in a good chance that you will be highly successful in the public sector, serving the people well. Traveling jobs, writing, selling books and journals, teaching and lecturing as well as dealing in antiques are all areas where you may excel. You will be quite resourceful and flexible to change, adapting well to whatever challenges life brings. Just make sure not to allow yourself to make knee jerk decisions based on impulse.

Mercury in The Eleventh House

In the House of Friendships, you pick and choose who you spend your time with, believing quality is better than quantity. In other words, you would rather have few close high-quality long-term friendships than a lot of friendly acquaintances who are not people you can rely on. Be on watch for friends who could cause issues or make bad decisions in their own personal lives and thus make you worry yourself sick over them.

Mercury in The Twelfth House

In the House of the Subconscious, you love to study obscure topics and occult sciences, and are not afraid of taboo subjects that mainstream culture sees as dangerous. You have an unusually open mind and won’t shy away from learning the viewpoints of people who are seen as wrong, untouchable, or controversial. Some people may learn to dread and fear you based on your writings or gossip about you, but you know that it’s more important to think for yourself than to please the crowd.

A Little More on Mercury

Each planet does a lot of other things besides move through the Houses of your Birth Chart. Mercury can be trine, or conjunct in Pluto, and Mercury can be in Capricorn and influence love. Read on to learn about those things.

Mercury Conjunct Pluto

Conjunct means two separate things come together and blend their energy. Keep in mind that although Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet, it still has power and influence. Pluto is transformative, and that can be terrifying, but it can also be good. When the energies of Pluto and Mercury unite, they install an extra deep understanding of obscure things like occult truths and understanding of death. You may be granted the charisma to be persuasive to large groups of people and you may be gifted with knowing just what to do to gather large sums of wealth. Pluto transformation energy can be less than enjoyable for you, however, if it causes you to be the victim of social ills like injustice based on poverty, but not all hope is lost because you will use the energy of Pluto to try and change that.

Mercury Trine Pluto

Trine means something different than conjunct. Trine means these planets are spaced one hundred and twenty degrees apart on your Birth Chart, and this creates harmony. If Pluto and Mercury are Trine, this instills especially good intellectual abilities in you, and you can think your way in and out of nearly any situation. You have an uncanny knack for understanding other people’s motivations and know how to work with that to persuade them to do what you want them to. You will be great at business and government and especially good at negotiating and mediating. This ability enables you to create a lot of positive change in the world.

Mercury in Capricorn Man in Love

When Mercury is in Capricorn, it means you are what some would call the ultimate thinker, and you are so very focused on intellectual pursuits, you often don’t pay attention to emotions and feelings. While people with Mercury in Capricorn establish stable homelives, they won’t be cushy and “lovey dovey” like some people would be, but truthfully, not everybody wants a sappy sweet lover. Love is love, and these people may show love in how they take care of their friends, family members, and significant others in more practical ways like making sure the fire alarm battery is changed as opposed to scattering rose petals on the way to the bedroom to be romantic. Who wants to clean a mess up from rose petals anyways?
