Saturn in Sagittarius

Saturn is not in Sagittarius again before 2036.

Saturn is where you're tested. Sagittarius does things freely, honestly, further. While Saturn is in Sagittarius, that part of everyone's life takes on a Sagittarius style. Where you feel it depends on which of your houses Sagittarius falls in, and that is different for everyone.

About Saturn

Saturn is structure, limits and the slow, steady work of growing up. It can feel strict, but it's the teacher whose praise you actually remember. Saturn's visit asks you to take that area of life seriously, sort out what's wobbly and build something that lasts. It's slow, but what you build now tends to stay built.

About Sagittarius

Sagittarius is adventure, optimism and the search for meaning, ideally somewhere with a passport stamp. It says the honest thing and books the trip. At its best, Sagittarius makes life feel bigger and funnier than it was a minute ago. Watch for leaving before things get boring, or before they get real.

How long it lasts

About two and a half years in each sign.
