Because Saturn is the planet
that gives us definition, from within and from without, its transit is particularly involved with the organizing
of inner characteristics and their effectiveness in our world.
The descendant, the seventh-house cusp, is where ‘self confronts ‘others’ in a meaningful way. The last
fourteen years of self-discovery can end up an indulgence if they are not tested against the social backdrop.
When Saturn begins its transit over the descendant (and this can be as soon as it enters the sign on the
descendant) the horizon of awareness is activated in the realm of ‘others’, and the first stage in social
integration is often undertaken in one-to-one relationships.
