Saturn brings definition, and often limitation (0ne would argue, some of which is quite necessary), to the planets it aspects.

"Saturn is about maturity, responsibility, discipline, and stewardship," says Jennifer Freed, PhD, psychological astrologer and author of Use Your Planets Wisely. "Look at each sign and what it means to be mature using its archetypal energy."

In astrology, Saturn is associated with restriction and limitation. Where Jupiter expands, Saturn constricts. At first blush, the themes of Saturn can seem depressing, but the planet brings structure and meaning to our world. Saturn knows the limits of time and matter. It reminds us of our boundaries, our responsibilities, and our commitments. Essentially, Saturn brings definition to our lives. This planet, through its placement and connections in our charts, makes us aware of the need for self-control, boundaries, and limits.

Saturn, is the ruler of Capricorn. In Greek Mythology, Cronus was one of the Titans, and the father of Zeus. Cronus ate his children to prevent himself from being dethroned as the King of the Gods. That is, until his wife, Rhea, tricked him into swallowing a stone when Zeus was born.

Saturn is often associated with our fathers or father/authority figures. In childhood, the discipline, rules, and regulations imposed on us by our authority figures–from parents, teachers, and the like–were not always pleasant. However, they actually helped us to understand the world around us. Similarly, Saturn`s lessons help us grow, mature, and refine ourselves.

In the chart, the position of Saturn by sign and house reveals our own limitations, fears, and sense of responsibility. Saturn`s sign can describe how we approach our responsibilities. However, it can also point to traits that we have difficult expressing naturally–and even accepting as part of our personality. Still, Saturn`s position in our charts can help us see where we may experience energetic blocks. Facing our fears in these areas can be most rewarding–we might turn our limitations into our greatest strengths.

What is the meaning of Saturn in astrology? Saturn is known to restrict and limit while also creating structure in life. Saturn brings meaning to our lives while reminding us of boundaries, commitments, and responsibilities. In astrology, Saturn represents a fatherly figure that brings about rules, regulations, structure, obligation, ambition, and some discipline. These rules are meant to help all zodiac signs to understand and learn about the world around us.

Leaning into the good, productive powers of your given Saturn sign can help you attract nurturing love, and send it back out into the universe, Dr. Freed adds. So, especially now, during a chaotic time, if you find yourself struggling with certain challenges, knowing your Saturn sign meaning can help you rise to the occasion and become the highest, most mature version of yourself.

"Saturn in Aries is about being disciplined about your body, your action, and your leadership," says Dr. Freed. Those who have their Saturn in Aries might run into challenges over being hotheaded, impulsive, bossy, and cruel. When tensions are especially running high, you want to cool down that fire energy. So while running a million miles might help you relieve some stress, don`tt neglect stretching before and after a workout.
