Saturn in Cancer: structuring your security
(June 3, 2003 - July 16, 2005)

How can you participate in creating a secure community when you can't trust anyone? Building bigger walls may make you feel more secure on one hand, and more isolated on the other. The downside of tight security is the loss of personal freedom, but when you're nervous and edgy, any contact can feel threatening and invasive. It's not that you don't care about people, it's just the risk of being hurt, exposed, or controlled can feel too great now.

With Saturn in Cancer, any show of emotion can seem excessive and the tendency is to stay close to home. The less you expect, the less you'll get, and the more pessimistic you feel, and the more your negative feelings and secret fears will be confirmed. You can build on your feelings of sorrow and lack, or you can choose to build a realistic foundation, slowly and patiently.

On a social-political level, Saturn in Cancer can signal problems for Government as increased government control can lead to more dissatisfaction from the public. The middle class and laborers bear the burden, and unemployment increases. Saturn in Cancer can bring bad weather and crop failure, which can impact the economy, the people, livestock, and the land itself, including depreciating property values. The land can literally quake, increasing the potential for earthquakes.

Astrological Saturn
Saturn rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. It does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, and good fortune but it does demand that these things be given structure and meaning. Saturn is the astrological ruler of Capricorn and the ancient ruler of Aquarius.
