A few nights ago, I started watching season one of The Walking Dead on my Netflix/computer. And all I could think about was FEAR.
That those zombies are our fears, our Saturns! Herds of them. Not impossible to escape, but challenging. And how relentless they are. And how devoted we must be to staying alive.
What are you afraid of? Your natal Saturn is there. What will help you overcome your fears NOW? Transiting Saturn is there. The strategy changes depending on where you are in life. Not long ago it was where Libra is in your chart. You had to work on THAT. Now it’s the Scorpio part of your chart.
And if you are tired of being afraid of… being alone or broke or sick or getting older or going crazy or things not working out or not finding your life purpose or never having good sex again or any sex again or doing a good job or having a job you don’t hate or standing on your own two feet or leaving your parents house or leaving the city you grew up in or having people die, fear of the dark, of childhood memories, of spiders, of not living… Your fears, your Saturns, are zombies: confused, hungry, out for flesh and blood.
You need an arsenal for these Saturns but first you must realize how cramped and false your life has become. All the choices you have made because of fear.
One stark brief second of insight, or many, and you notice your decisions have been more about keeping the peace (Libra) than about vivisecting (Scorpio) your limitations (Saturn).
During the show I was watching last night, Sheriff Rick remarked about the undead, as they were chasing him: “They don’t get winded. I do.” So he used his smarts and strategy to escape.
Saturn in Scorpio wants you to expose these fears, belly-up and not to make you ashamed, but to set you free. Pluto rules death and surrender. Look at your life. Aren’t you tired of being afraid?

Love The Walking Dead. It is so intense, and I love your analogy. I go by Equal House so Saturn is still in my 7th House even though it”s in Scorpio. I will have to admit though that every single fear you listed has and is still on my mind. I don’t know if relationships/partnerships will be enough for me to fight and win..
With transiting Saturn having just left my Libra stellium (and Sun) and now moving on to work its magic with my Scorpio planets, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about this very subject. My natal Saturn in the 4th trines my Aries South Node in the 8th and forms a tight semi-square with my Scorpio Mercury on the cusp of the 3rd and Aquarius Moon in the 5th. I have been afraid of leaving the city I grew up in, mostly because I fear losing my independence in a smaller place with less access to conveniences – also, I hate the idea of not knowing where everything is. But what I fear more is living out the remainder of my life playing it safe and settling for a half-life that no longer supports the person I’ve become. Good post!
Hey LB!!!!
Hey Msfullroller! Miss you! Guess hearing from long-lost friends is coming into play with Saturn on my Neptune (ruler of my 7th) on the cusp of the 3rd. Thanks so much for allowing the comment to get through, Aliza. 🙂
I moderate my comments so sometimes they sit and I forget they are there!
great post & great show! stressful, scary, nerve-wracking yet deliciously irresistible and addictive! maybe like saturn in scorpio will be!

I think I was born pretty much afraid of everything with a Capricorn ascendant. Am I wrong? I also have Sun square Saturn natally.
I think the key is getting out in the world. I have Pluto and Saturn transiting the ninth house so I think it is related to putting myself in foreign situations, getting out of my comfort zone.
I never really recognized how scared I have been for so long until recently. It has gotten worse with middle age.
Time to finally face those zombies!

Maim the zombies
Ohhh MP this post made me cry! Fear. We are all so scared. Sometimes we don’t realize, we push it down. But so many decisions are made out of fear. I need to watch this show–I’ve heard nothing but good things. 🙂
