Saturn in Aries from the Psychological Perspective

Sermon of the Stars ✨ ⭐️ indeed . Wow ! that was powerfully presented . I really enjoyed it ! Thank you

I started acupuncture college in ‘97 getting my masters at age 26. Decades later i am still a full time acupuncturist- It wasn’t easy back then - 8th house . I’ll just say that haha . Thank you Saturn

I was 17 in 1996. I graduated HS. Decided on a major and career. Then quit it after meeting a man. I left my family, home, state,married that man. Around that time i became an adult. I started making choices that affected me for the rest of my life so far (good and bad). I finally started becoming...an individual. I built new things and probably broke stuff too. I'm cancer rising BTW. But yes. I made choices to be free, even though I didn't realize it at the time. But I left my life and childhood behind to be free and forge my own life. I'm not the same person I was then. Now I am about to change everything and become a new being on my own terms, with 20+ years of experience behind me. In the last transit I felt like I was caught up in a current of life and emotion. Now - I'm surfing the waves.

Well, now that you put it that way and I looked at 96 to 99. That is when I definitely was in the throes of a divorce between 97 and 99 not a happy time in my life.
Not married right now, not in a relationship not sure how it’s gonna manifest now. I was actually looking forward to it because it goes over my midheaven and trying my ascendant in Leo. Well, when it’s going over my mid heaven, it also squares my Mars and Capricorn in the sixth house and in the 12th house by Uranus and cancer oh my maybe I’m not looking forward to it. Crossing my sentence.😮

Kinda fits what I was thinking about generally. (Theme)
Short: there’s a person I’ve grown to strongly dislike over the past decade and it suddenly hit me they were in an accident about 10 years ago and they had a concussion; if I listed reasons it’d align with common reports of head injury. It also brought up other conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s where a person still retains their general “essence” even if their behaviors radically change. On paper it brings up the current interest in tropical vs sidereal where the sidereal would be qualities that don’t change and tropical things that would/could. Bringing in that perspective you wonder where something like psychological astrology fits in and it’s kinda both in their own ways. In tropical it’d relate more to life experiences where sidereal it’d be different. Looking at the design, sidereal equals higher rank deities than tropical and it brings up the difference between houses and mansions.
I’d assume a Saturn in fall transit in 8th is much easier than a Saturn in 7th and a Saturn opposition 😂. Assuming! I might look up a period in time with that.

🎉🎉🎉 thank you for your hard work

You explained the I Ching perfectly! 🙌

This is such a great video!!

Grabbed # Im a natal a Saturn in Aries In the 6th house and Im about I have my second Saturn return. Back when Saturn was last in Aries I had a house build so got my first housing loan. I worked in jobs as a casual worker . Most of the places were in factories . I was slowly losing my mind with boredom and disliked these jobs so much that in 1999 I remember walking out of my job in the middle of the shift out of pure despair . I was miserable . I managed to get other work almost as bad but in the year 2000, so Aries had moved out of Aries we sold our house and decided to go travelling . Now as the next second Saturn return approaches i feeling nervous and weirdly or not am in the similair situation expect I know my self better and hope to navigate this in a way that will steer me in a different direction. I know I have some hard work to do but I’m focusing putting my energy into more desirable future.

cant believe the hidden jung files by elena graves isn’t mentioned more in videos like this… it’s literally the missing piece

the fact no one here talks about the book the hidden jung files is crazy

the fact no one here talks about the book the hidden jung files is crazy

everyone keeps repeating the same advice when elena graves already broke everything down in the hidden jung files

crazy how no one here is mentioning the hidden jung files by elena graves… that book changed everything for me

At it’s ingress into Aries back then I was confused lost and unhappy at university and by the time saturn left Aries I had met my future wonderful husband and adult life had started to take shape and look up. I’m Cancer rising and sun. Saturn in pieces had been a very difficult time. I’m looking forwards just now to this transit. ❤

Great story, Adam, in these times...very true for me. That disconnected feelings. Learning balance and self correction...life experience is like hayauasca. Every step is for my learning. Thx for your share.

My daughter was born beginning of April 1996. She is a 0° Saturn in Aries. I’ll add, after 29 years of studying her, Saturn in Aries is challenged with empathy & acknowledgment.
Most often seemingly deflecting when it comes with dealing with emotional or even traumatic issues as they’re presented in life. It would be much easier to sweep them under the rug and realign with their own personal disciplines and purpose in life.
My daughter is tough ! Her athleticism is incredible. She literally sits up on a stationary bike with a microphone in front of a class of 100 people yelling at them, motivating them to bust their ass for a living. 😂 classic Saturn in Aries. She also happens to have a couple other placements in Aries, including her Sun. She’s a Taurus rising- that gives a whole other layer to the situation with all of these planet, placements falling, in her 11/12th house. Thank you for the talk Adam. I have learned so much from your year one Hellenistic course years ago it launched me. I’m also a huge fan of Deva Green.

5th house Aries with natal chiron, 96-99, I waa working my first career / corporate job, designing interactive educational materials for children. I had an appendicitis that triggered chronic autoimmune issues since. Interestingly, I'm feeling a major urge to work with children directly in artistic & creative education. Im moving through chiron return (keeps retrograding back & forth over my natal chiron). With last week's sun + uranis conj in my 6th house, had both an extreme autoimmune flare up & revelation about root cause that may help me actually heal some of these symptoms ive been living with for over 20yrs! It will require next level of structure and restriction around food & drink for some time (socializing & eating out is a pleasure of mine, that will be limited probably for at least a couple of years). Im inviting Saturn to help me create a beautiful structure and rhythm to my work with children and a structure for my personal artwork & creativity, to the simple pleasures of food preparation and consumption & support that discipline for me, rhythm, structure and support for my daughter's homeschool education as she transitions from Jr to highschool -- particularly the athletic and movement aspect, which has been a bit neglected since the pandemic. I'm actually looking forward to some Saturnian containment in these areas. Requesting more healing in my relationship with time, calling in presence and right timing. Deep bow of reverence and gratitude to this master teacher. 🙏✨

I play these videos to fall asleep to but God damn this is so Saturn Aries exciting.

After hearing the first 20 mins I have chills!! Saturn in Aries will be my Saturn return on the 25th. I have been in intensive therapy after the death of my mother 1 year ago, and the whole premise of my therapy is repairing my abandonment wound, finding safety within myself, being sober after years of substance abuse since my teens, and learning how to have control over my emotional reactions and ultimately my life. I’ve been doing this for a couple of months now and really taking things slow and putting in the work, little steps daily, to become a whole person again. Sooooo Saturn. And my Saturn return is in my 8th house, the death of my mother being the catalyst for my big personal transformation. WOW

I'm an Aries rising 7°. My Saturn is in Aries at 0° 12th house. The flavors of both 1st house of identity and 12th house of the subconscious are STRONG for me right now. Trying to balance the beginnings and endings. I feel like I'm walking the precipice and it's crushing and exhilarating at the same time.

1996 to 1999 I got married in 1995, January 1996 I lost my brother in an MVA, I left a secure job for a less secure job that and I ended up regretting it , toxic work place, bought a house in 1997, had a miscarriage (first pregnancy) in 1999. During that time from 1996 to 1999 I went into a depression after my brothers death, started to regret my recent marriage, regretted leaving my old job, got pregnant again in 1999 and sold my first home to move to a bigger home. It was a very chaotic time , with both my mental and physical health. Issues with bosses, miscommunications, misunderstandings., mental and emotional abuse from my narcissistic parents. Anxiety, insecurity depression. My natal chart has Saturn in 5th house in Aries. Now , 25 yrs later, I am single and while still struggling financially and not happy in my work (nurse, healthcare, Canada, stressful and sad), I feel more myself and grounded., healthier and with more purpose. Still separation issues with immediate family (family hx of substance abuse, mental health issues, financial, PTSD issues). Thanks for sharing this video

Tooo many terrible commercials

Since we’re about the same age, Saturn entering Aries marks the start of my Saturn opposition.
I’m curious about how much of the Saturn experience you just laid out for us had to do with your own Saturn opposition? And how can we tell the difference?

Thank you for sharing your story 🙏 I was completing high school and preparing for university. I was so hungry for being independent. To me Saturn in Aries is a hunger for independence and freedom. Hunger is a primordial force (Aries) and behind independence hides wisdom (Saturn).

Not sure if this will land with anyone, but I feel like writing it anyway. Sometimes life feels like one big loop—same thoughts, same emotions, like I’m walking the same path no matter how hard I try to step off. I spent a long time in that space, brushing it off as just part of life. But it gnawed at me—that sense that I wasn’t really seeing the full picture of who I am, that there were blind spots I couldn’t uncover on my own. I didn’t think a book would make much of a difference. I’d read dozens that felt more like bandaids than real healing. But when I came across The Hidden Jung Files by Elena Graves, something about it felt different. It wasn’t trying to solve me, it was just holding up a mirror in a way I could finally see. Helped me notice the threads I’d been following unconsciously for years. I don’t know if this will speak to anyone else, but if you’ve been feeling like you’re circling the same questions, maybe this will help you start seeing things a little clearer too.

I wasn’t planning on commenting, but maybe someone here needs this. Sometimes, without even realizing it, we carry these quiet feelings around for so long that they start to feel normal—the restlessness, the sense that something’s just off under the surface. I went years like that, caught in my own head, repeating the same thoughts, the same patterns, not even knowing what I was chasing. I tried all the usual stuff—self-help books, mindset hacks—but it always felt like I was skimming the surface, never quite reaching that deeper place where the real shifts happen. Then I came across The Hidden Jung Files by Elena Graves. I wasn’t even looking for it, honestly, but it came into my life at the right time. It didn’t tell me what to do or offer quick fixes; it just helped me understand myself in a way I never had before. Helped me see the hidden threads that were weaving my life together, some of which I didn’t even know were there. I’m still figuring things out and aren’t we all?? hahah, but this book helped me start listening to the parts of myself I had ignored for too long. If this resonates at all, maybe it’ll meet you where you are too.

I wasn’t planning on writing anything here, but something told me to. Maybe because I know what it feels like to be scrolling through comments, looking for something that resonates, something that makes you feel a little less alone in what you’re experiencing. For me, there was this sense of living on autopilot for a long time—getting things done, showing up, but inside, feeling a little hollow. Like there were parts of me I couldn’t quite access, shadows I didn’t want to face. I didn’t go searching for answers—honestly, I didn’t know where to begin. But one day, I came across The Hidden Jung Files by Elena Graves, and it quietly offered me something different. It didn’t push me toward some grand transformation, but it helped me sit with the parts of myself I’d been ignoring. It helped me name the patterns I was stuck in and gave me a little more understanding and grace for where I was. If you’ve felt that quiet disconnection too, maybe this will find you at the right time like it did for me.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to get swept up in life—to focus on what’s next, what needs fixing, what’s expected—without pausing to ask how am I, really? For the longest time, I didn’t even notice how disconnected I’d become from myself, until one day I couldn’t ignore it anymore. That’s when I found The Hidden Jung Files by Elena Graves. It wasn’t the kind of book that promises to change your life overnight—it was softer than that, more honest. It helped me sit with the questions I’d been too busy to ask and gave me space to reconnect with parts of myself I’d long overlooked. If you’re feeling that same quiet tug for something deeper, I hope it finds you too.

Sometimes the most unexpected things end up reaching us in ways we didn’t know we needed—like a quiet reminder that there’s more to explore beneath the surface. I wasn’t searching for anything in particular, just going through the motions, feeling a little off, like something inside me was trying to get my attention. When I came across The Hidden Jung Files by Elena Graves, I didn’t expect much, but it ended up being the gentle nudge I needed to start looking inward again. It helped me notice the patterns I’d been blind to, the parts of myself I’d been avoiding, and offered a quiet kind of clarity. If you’ve been feeling a little out of step with yourself too, maybe this will be that same quiet reminder for you.

Im a Taurus rising and had the same experience you are describing in high school where I didn’t fit in, was isolated and bullied. It was a very lonely period in my life. Thanks for sharing.

I have 10 years on you Adam so I was not a teen and not an enjoyable story but nevertheless your talk highlighted some very true things. I am Aries and in 96 at 25 I became involved with a Virgo man who practically embodied the Saturn bully, suppressed my light and it was a horrible relationship. Thanks to other planets and my Gemini rising I could find myself through studying psychology and slowly finding a way out. It was a long journey but it is interesting to see it from this astrological perspective. It is helpful looking back on events, something else must have turned in 2001 when I finally felt the strength to leave and restart my life. This time around it is all good and I am enjoying letting old beliefs die and coming into my true Aries self. So thanks for explaining it the way you do, it is incredibly helpful. 😊❤🙏

Married in 1996 & bought our home in 1997 also got a really good job in 1997!!!

Im saturn in Aries

A Spiritual practice can be a way of coming into agreement with knowing, understanding and loving oneself. For me Astrology is one non judgmental enlightenment window designed to increase self awareness. It does not have a power and control leadership base; however, it is another insightful teacher.

Neptune in Aries presents delusional aggressiveness.

I was studying some of the oldest people in the world, and a few had Saturn in Aries. Remarkably Ethel Caterham in England is almost 116, her 4th Saturn in Aries!!!! Actually she has Mars there as well.

So much amazing information! I just met someone who has Saturn in Aries and have been wondering if it means anything. Why would an Aries moon person (me) come into the life of someone experiencing their first Saturn return at nearly the exact time it begins? It’s interesting but I’m excited to find out 😊

Thanx to your (and Liz Greens) explanation about Saturn in Aries I understand myself a lot better. I have natal Saturn in Aries and it's my first house. Cancer sun. Thank you very much!

I lived in Atlanta, this was prior to my move to Florida. I was about age 21-23. Fun years. I dated a guy whose brother was a medical student at Emory. They moved to a cool house, rented the basement, or the” first floors . The first night they stayed there there was a fire. They had to escape out of the house to safety. Turns out their lamp was too close to the ceiling and it started the fire. After that fire all of us moved to Florida. It was a huge turning point for me and my friends.

during this time period i had a male aries bully who made my life hell.. home life was hell too. I’m looking forward to saturn in gemini.. those years OWNED.

1996 I was 7 years old. We recently moved cities and my aunt and grandpa passed away. My mother and grandmother were taking care of my brothers and me. I missed my old city, life, friends, and it was difficult to make new friends for a couple of years (some bullying as well). My older brother (only 2 years older) kind of took the role of my father but in a bitter way. He started to physically abuse my younger brother and me. I think we told our mother once, but she couldn't pay attention to this, so we kept it for ourselves. It was the beginning of years of abuse till I was 16, to then be abused by me boyfriend. Anyway, back then my dream was to escape home and work at the cemetery selling flowers in roller skates 🤣 In 1997 I actually escaped home, but luckily someone helped me return. I have mars in aries, my older brother has his moon in aries. I'm Taurus ascendant 29.49° so in placidus I have 11 house in Aries. Thank you for the videos :)

Yikes. I have my 7th house in Aries, and that time was craziness. I was doing my Master's in Music. My new coworker was difficult and I had recommended her during the hiring process. My husband was cheating per normal, and he finally admitted it April 1997 the day before Easter, while I was on vacation with a gf, so we immediatly split up as my mom was starting to hover (as a ghost) to the point that I could see her. I started dating online, I met a new guy, he gave me a giant diamond engagement ring within a few months, I sold my townhome, he moved me into his townhome. I got married to him August 8, 1998, started a new job August 1998, and moved again that month to our new house in a new location,. The job did not work out (it was the worst and I got let go--first time ever), the new husband did not work out, and I was in charge of his teenage son & daughter as he travelled for work. It was all frenetic, dissociative, and exhausting. I finished my Masters but it meant so little. I got a new job, luckily, that I loved in May 1999 and resisted my husband's demand that I quit work and get pg. I instead went back to school for a second master's in admin. I hope that all does not happen again! I better keep a low profile. I have that book by Liz Greene

Fear of being wronged or often in the wrong having this in the 10th natal has made me lose it whilst being unable to express it because I don't want to look insane or vulnerable. It actually encourages radical selfishness. That's what happened to Will Smith in his 11h now banned for 10 years from the Academy Awards for defending Jada Pinkett's honor. You're already in a bad way and it gets expressed in unforgivable ways. That's why stagnation exists because there's more than we know happening but cannot fully grasp initiative as gracefully as the next person. So the anger, frustration, delays, doubt is immovable but it is pure instinct and intuition we do do not act for the sake of ourselves but for others as a way of proving our ability to take initiative no matter how much we do or how little we know is true. We're fallen by default further perpetuating a victim narrative requiring constant defense and mind-numbing restraints on our natural inhibitions. Social media is too much, education gets abandoned, relationships are burdens, reputation always looks bad, I can go on. But we try bravely, impulsively, painfully to get through life just watching how others do it before we decide our own approach. We often struggle to find the next step alone making our assumptions then acting on them so we're not in our "fall" but ironically are no matter how calculated or patient time has demanded us to become. I felt forced by the world to change, mature, be less egotistical while still seeing this in people daily breaks me but it's a learning lesson 365 days a year. I haven't elevated with this at all because I find more reasons to stay ashamed and anonymous.

I experience Saturn in Aries as an ongoing implicit need to act in any direction on a moment to moment basis - a higher than usual need for freedom. Too much repetition is deeply frustrating; novelty and slight variation is life enhancing. I am ok adhering to structures as long as they are my own - i am inefficient conforming to someone else's structure; I lose vitality very fast. If I can set up my own way then that works much better - I have to work for myself on my own terms. This of course makes working in a Capricorn top down hierarchy virtually impossible and certainly painful - i simply don't even consider such an idea. So as Adam says it is much about defining your own reality on your own terms; "this is how I am and this his what works best for me". I do have Libra signatures as well so I find my expression of Saturn in Aries quite balanced, but I can also see that earlier in my life there were issues with the fear of assertion - this has changed over the years as one would expect with Saturn.
