“Andromeda” by Paul Gustave Dore
Many of you with Neptune in Scorpio (born between 1955-1970), have been wondering about Saturn’s transit of Scorpio.
Neptune dissolves limits while Scorpio pushes through them. Neptune dreams of a better world while Scorpio excavates the shadows. Neptune aims for transcendence but can easily become mired in Scorpio’s obsessions. Depending on what house it’s in, you may experience your Neptune in Scorpio as a trigger for powerful addictions, profound escapism or intense creativity.
What will happen when Saturn transits over Neptune?
Structure (Saturn) will meet formlessness (Neptune). Before I go any further, think about what you do with your Neptune right now. How do you use its energy? This will have everything to do with how you experience Saturn’s transit. Saturn (reality) will force you to confront addictions and obsessions disguised as “romance”. The shadow side of Neptune in Scorpio can manifest as some heavy-duty, dark dreams. There will be consequences followed by strongly persuasive limits.
But…Saturn will also help you focus and clarify your dreams. It can be the anchor that prevents you from floating into another “someday” scenario. Combined with Scorpio’s all or nothing energy, Saturn can give you the kick in the pants to just do it. Think of it this way; Scorpio is the magician, Neptune the slippery spell and Saturn the narrow room that the magician locks him/herself into in order to focus.
Saturn transits (especially conjunctions) often herald an ending or point of no return. What will you be saying goodbye to?
“Saturn transits (especially conjunctions) often herald an ending or point of no return…”
Saturn will conjunct my Sun, Mercury and Uranus (at 29 degrees) in the 7th house. I have read Liz Greene’s Saturn book. Are there any other resources to be aware of so that I can empower my stellium? And, is it safe to say that when Saturn will be leaving my 7th (because of my natal Uranus) that’s where a significant event would occur?
With a Saturn transit, the things to do are stay focused and accept responsibility. Stick with that and you can’t go wrong.
When Saturn leaves your 7th House, a significant event might occur, but there will have to be other transits and progressions that indicate it as well.
What does “strongly persuasive limits” mean?
‘Structure (Saturn) will meet formlessness (Neptune). ‘
Sounds like just what i’m getting at with this new place i’m building: sound, clear and easy to navigate Structure… for a most Artistic content
Mmmm did i mention i like you? lol
It really does help, cos where i am currently located, i don’t really get to talk about what i’m trying to build at all (well… my fault huh! I did lock myself in the room to focus afterall lol)
It’s very good for me to read ‘objective’ (meaning unconcerned w me) things out there that reflect what i (at least) think im’ doing!
Im not crazy after all! Hahaha what dya know
oops im sorry this wasn’t meant as a reply to previous post.. i should go to bed. heatwave’s got me beat.
Thank you.
Checked out your website…very cool.
Strong limits that prevent you from going any further.
wow!
first i thought: i can definitely use that:
‘Saturn can give you the kick in the pants to just do it. ‘ The idea factory is packed to the brim.
Then i saw this:
‘Think of it this way; Scorpio is the magician, Neptune the slippery spell and Saturn the narrow room that the magician locks him/herself into in order to focus’ … and i thought: so THAT’s what i’ve been doing since 09 locked in my dungeon! Hahaha! Know one thing i really like about the way you do astrology? You can sure pint out the Silver Lining!
I’m lovin’ it. Thanks
(note there’s the budding website’s address now
You’re welcome.
There’s always a silver lining.
point out* sorry. passing heatwave has my eyes still spinning in their orbit..
Saturn will conjunct my Neptune and Moon in the 1st house.
Any ideas how this might manifest?
Confrontation of emotional escapism. What you do emotionally to comfort yourself will either be confirmed or limited (depending on how healthy it is).
Any tips for Neptune in late Scorpio conjunct Part of Fortune, in the 11th House? I haven’t been able to “crack” this placement in my husband’s chart.
I would say it’s the same idea as plain old Saturn over Neptune, but throw in the added benefit of clarification/focus on where your husband is most lucky. He might see a way to precisely make his dreams benefit him. POF is the area in your chart where you attract good fortune, especially when activated by transit.
Thank you, Nadia!
That fits, he’s converted to searching for “what works” in his life (as opposed to b*tching about what doesn’t, which was the case for a decade!)
Neptune at 27 degrees Scorpio in the third house; I think I’ll be using the transits of Mars and Saturn over my Neptune to communicate more assertively. Far too often, I drop into enigmatic silence rather than risk confrontational dialogue. This technique is very good for keeping the peace with other people, but at age 43 I am starting to feel that it is imperative to be true to myself, even at the cost of “niceness.”
“Enigmatic silence” is an excellent description of this planet/house combo. This transit should help.
neptune conjuncts my midheaven in Scorpio in the 10th. Will I finally get some kind of career life? hn
Can’t say without seeing the rest of your chart. Saturn over your Neptune can clarify career goals if they’re realistic.
yep you got it, natal neptune 8 scorpio, yet another hit as with comments on the others posts, I sure hope I have evolved to pheonix after all this! what i would have done without my sense of humour i have no idea…
When Saturn transits scorpio in the 9th house with neptune 10 degrees, Mercury 7 degrees and mars 4 degrees scorpio, should I; A) Just lock myself in a RUBBER room? B) Just start drinking heavly now! or C) Pray and meditate all day everyday. Saturns transit through Libra(another stellium sun/moon/venus/pluto/ absolutely blew my mind!
Option C sounds healthiest.
See the post I wrote today…
I have Sun Scorpio conjunct Neptune Scorpio @ 7 Degrees at the tail end of my 3rd house. Completing my Grand Trine water is Mars Cancer and Moon Pisces. All have been feeling Saturn’s energy and don’t like it one bit. Lastly, my natal Saturn is 0 degree Capricorn. He’s my safety net saviour, right? If I survive will there be anything worth living for? Seriously. Advise.
Of course, there’s always something to live for. But you need to clarify what you’re not liking about Saturn’s energy. And as for your natal Saturn…why do you say he’s your safety net?
My Scorpio in the 5th house has Neptune at 7 degrees plus my moon and jupiter at 26 and 29 degrees I also have ceres in scorpio at 15 degrees this stellium will be unsual….
I am presently working on a spiritual sustianable community… I feel like throwing in the towel one day and true inspiration the next…… and this just started happening in the past few days…. How can I move through this transit with the most success?
Cut yourself some slack, and recognize that there will be an ebb and flow to your energy. Even Saturn (with all his focus) can’t keep Neptune in line 100% of the time. Let yourself roll with the cycles.
Nadia,
I have natal neptune in the 3rd house ruling my 8th. Transiting Saturn will conjunct that. Saturn rules my 6th. Is this a good time to change jobs. Also, becuase the 8th is the 6th house of my 3rd which is my brothers and sisters. Will one of my siblings have a health issue??
Thank you!!
I have no way of answering that without analyzing your chart.
Saturn is less than a few minutes away from an exact conjunction to my Neptune in Scorpio in my 9th. Hmmm. What will happen? Any ideas?
Is there a dream you might have involving 9th House areas (travel, education, legal matters, publishing)? Saturn can make it real or show you the limitations. (9th House is also ideals/beliefs, so these might be affected.
I have this placement – I am finding that my idealistic tendencies where people are concerned are being brought down several notches. I am experiencing severe disillusionment with people’s failure to live up to my expectations, also with society and the world in general. Frankly, Planet Earth is not a place I am proud to be a part of. Throw my Scorpio moon into the mix and it’s emotionally traumatic as well. On the up side I have identified what I really want to do with the rest of my life career wise and I am studying that at the moment and loving it.
There’s an upside to even the harshest transits, as you have just illustrated.
Saturn will be in conjunction with my neptune in scorpio in 2nd house for almost all of this year. Do I need to be scared?
You never “need” to be scared. It’s your choice. How this plays out all depends on how you have handled your finances/personal values up until now. Saturn will give you a reality check, Neptune can indicate lack of boundaries or an enlightened approach to resources.
Sorry, it is the third house…
This arrangement in in my first house and my 7th is empty, ruled by Taurus? What does this mean for me?
I feel the deep, dark terrors of my childhood trembling at the surface – I cannot see how I will sort through them and sift them and clear them
HELP!
Sorry, can’t help you without seeing your whole chart.
I have Saturn currently transiting Neptune in scorpio in my seventh house. A two-year old love reltionship seems to be ending with a lot of pain on both sides. Or will/can it recover? Wherever Saturn transited in my chart in the past, it always ended up with with the end of something or someone, even on a well-aspected Jupiter, so… It never meant stabilsation or engagement of any kind. What do you think? Thanks for your answer. Florence.
Sorry Florence, there’s no way I can tell you that without seeing your chart and their chart. But Saturn over Neptune also means reality and the confrontation with dreams.
Great sentence: “Scorpio is the magician, Neptune the slippery spell and Saturn the narrow room that the magician locks him/herself into in order to focus.” Very true.
I have natal Neptune at 8.12 degrees Scorpio conjunct my Venus at 11 degrees in my fifth house. They are both hit by transiting Saturn–Venus right now, Neptune –again, in a month. (My natal 6th house Saturn is sextile my natal Neptune.) Can you tell me anything about it?
You may be confronted with realities about romantic illusions. Or, something you want could be made real. Anytime Saturn and Neptune come together it’s formlessness being given form.
Anyone have ideas about Saturn Transiting with conjunction of Natal neptune 8th house? I just met a woman at a retreat at the exact conjunction. Seems very karmic….thanks, Michael
Saturn transits can act as a timer (Saturn is the Lord of Time) so over 8th House Neptune it could represent a significant meeting. 8th House Neptune is about no boundaries, and Saturn is about boundaries (or giving structure to the dream). But in order to tell if this is just a passing connection or more, you’d have to analyze your chart, hers, etc.
