Saturn, along with Pluto, is associated with death.
But in my recent experience I have found that Saturn transits birth as much as they kill. I realize this sounds like Pluto, but hear me out….
Another Saturn keyword: structure. And of course it’s always more than ONE area of life that a transiting planet affects. Have I had Saturn death? Oh yes, I have. But then you shuffle the deck.
Pay attention to where you have restructured, reconstructed. Where you have planned. Where the losses weren’t really losses but you making the hard phone calls on a Monday morning 😉
Are you tracking Saturn in Scorpio through your chart? I am. Third House for me. Already my “short trips” are being affected. “Short trips” is a common key phrase for the third house and IT IS happening in my life. One may think short trips would be curtailed (Saturn tends to limit) but in my case I am making more of them but for Saturnian purposes i.e. these trips HAVE purpose. Saturn is trining my North Node and descendent at the moment. Make of that what you will 😉

Slight tangent but also along these lines, and since Saturn in Scorpio has followed Saturn in Libra, relationships are on my mind (as always!) From the surface (Libra) to the real deal (Scorpio). This is a topic I started in our private room:
“Do romantic relationships lull you or inspire you? Or neither? I find the LESS I get my needs met (I have an 8th House Chiron), I get filled with desire and this inspires me artistically, the LACK and the longing. This is very much my chart. And then when my desires ARE met, I feel coddled and fed, like a baby and just want to relax. Like a rescued dog. I used the phrase Chiron dogs in a blog post once…. I wonder if this is a PTSD reaction. Finally finding some safety. Which means the initial lulling would probably pass and it would even out and I’d feel like striving again.”
Mercury goes direct today. Share your thoughts here, past, present, future 🙂
Love, MP

I see. Yes that would describe for me to how it feels though I may confuse it with “starving” as my Neptune is in my 11th which is “groups”. A community can be a “group” too I think. I see neighbors chatting with each other as they all have children, pets and homes, and I am a renter in my late adult life and just feel like I don’t fit in. I am transient and they are well entrenched in their environment and don’t care for renters much. I do feel like an outsider. Luckily I have a great landlady whose home I share. She is quite compassionate and we are a good match. All other places I have lived have been noisy, full of inconsiderate people who don’t care how much you suffer from it. I feel so blessed now.

MP, Does Chiron represent where we are starving in our charts? From what you describe it sounds like after a glut of creativity, you are lulled into a state of not feeling the need but then get in impulse to be creative again, after going through a “starving” period? Is that what you are describing here? Is Saturn in Scorpio fulling starvation or creativity for you?
Saturn is in my 11th, just 2 degrees of separating from Mars in Scorpio. In the Placidius system, it is poised to enter my 12th and next will conj. my NN at 10 degrees. I have no idea how long that will be or what exactly to expect. But I know that it being the 12th house, it will be opposite my 6th house, house of daily life and health. I got my flu shot so hopefully am protected from dastardly bugs!..lol Do you have an idea of what I can expect?
As for Chiron, it is in my 3rd house, siblings, neighbors, neighborhood, communications and all things Gemini. I may be behind the curve a bit. And I do feel starved as far as having a sense of community. Saturn in Scorpio has squelched this further as my acquaintances I have come to know and how much I participate with others on line or otherwise, has been curtailed and some relationships completely obliterated. Which just makes me feel even more starved, but at the same time I do deeply need down time and am starting to carve that out for myself more and more. I do feel the desired to keep to myself more and notice that others are not as kind to me as they have been in the past. Either ignoring me more or just snapping at me with criticisms or just general malice or dislike.
I don’t know about “starving” although I like the word. Starving feels more Neptune to me i.e. longing with an edge (Neptune square something or other). For me, Chiron is hurting and vulnerable.
