Transits
The left six houses (10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and 3) chart the
path of Saturn going down, from the top of the chart to
the bottom; from an idea or impulse to the carrying of
that idea into actuality—to the building up or making
something of that idea.
The right six houses (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) chart the path
of Saturn progressively coming out of whatever
experience was built during the first half, to an
increasing awareness of what that experience was and
an understanding of what it meant.
In other words, we have a thirty-year cycle, with about
14 years of investment (putting an idea into action) and
about 14 years of return (getting something out of that
investment). The basic structure and phases of cycles
have been detailed elsewhere. Here, we want to look at
the placement of Saturn in the natal chart and what that
placement can mean.
