Transiting Saturn square Sun is one of the more challenging transits to deal with. It can represent a forced turning point where you feel pressured and burdened. It may feel like everything and everyone is against you during this tough time which can lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement. Basically you sense of purpose and your goals are being challenged by Saturn in the form of bosses, teachers, parents or the government. You will have to face this adversity with patience and persistence and keep struggling so they don’t get the better of you.
If your intentions and goals are just ones and in your best interest, then this testing period can refine those plans and strengthen your resolve once you deal with the challenges. If, in the face of the tests and restrictions you find that it really is too hard and can see no way of succeeding, then this is the time to cut your losses and conserve you energy, which is likely to be running low now anyway, a tactical retreat. Or this transit may signal something in between, where compromise and concessions need to be made on your part. Once this transit passes then your confidence and enthusiasm will grow again and you can start building new foundations with a better sense of purpose and more strength, having dealt with a very difficult phase of life.

Hi my Cappie bros & sisters,
I understand your challenges (especially you Susan…I was born exactly one day before you Jan 11, 1969 @ 4:04am in NYC) and want to add that our planet, Saturn, does reward hard work. So keep the faith, take the vitamins (calcium/magnesium help with stress), get the sleep, keep the company of positive light hearted souls, and give yourself a hug everyday. As for the mood swings, crying and bouts of depression, they do come and go. It’s just an energetic clearing that will pass–always does–thus, the cycles of this learning plane of existence. I find I’m lighter and stronger afterwards. The summer is coming for Cap decan 3–hold your light!
Hello Fellow Sat Squares,
I’m a newbie to all this and I’m curious that if my B-Day is on the 13th and my degree is at 21 Cancer (the edge)- Does this mean that these crazy effects will/could drop off sooner than Oct 2012?? (Can you tell I’m reaching for some good news:)))?!
The following is a channeled message that lends a little hope..particularly in regards to WHEN things can and will change..for us..the tide will come in again sometime around Oct 2012 This resonates for me..hope it helps

God said:
Whatever frustration may be in front of you, you don’t have to kowtow to it. You do not have to give up your peace of mind because of a technical difficulty on Earth. Difficulties do not have to get the better of you. Simply take life as it comes, and don’t get all fretted about it.
You really know that most difficulties are temporary. The electricity went off? It will come back on. You car stalled? Your car won’t always be stalled. It will be running fine again, and you will toddle down the highway again. Your basement flooded? It won’t always be flooded. It will be dry again.
These are inconveniences. Will you set yourself up in the frame of mind that inconveniences need not take a toll on you?
Even in terms of the world, you know the difference between inconveniences and troubles. Nevertheless, you let interruptions disturb you, as though they were tragedies. Your world has been disrupted. A train was delayed, and you pace back and forth.
You do not get upset that the sun sets at night, and you have to wait until morning before you see the sun again. You take sunrises and sunsets in your stride. You don’t consider daylight and night as obstacles. That you cannot see the stars by day doesn’t upset you. You know the stars will come out. You don’t rant and rave about these matters. You do not think that these occurrences are the end of the world. In fact, you enjoy both sun and stars and don’t mourn the gap of one or the other.
You do not expect the tides to follow your command. You take the tides as they come. The tide comes in, and the tides go out. You don’t become discombobulated. Not at all.
When it comes to when your personal life does not follow your plan, you tend to feel as though Mt. Vesuvius has erupted. An interruption in your internet connection will drive you to distraction. All it means is that your connection has been interrupted. It is on pause. In that point of space and time, you are not connected. Make peace with it. It is only a delay. It is not forever. You got along fine for years without it, and now that the internet has become a daily event, you presume that it has no right to go off as if your very existence is at stake. You become insistent that your will be done. Face it, this insistence, this resistance, has to be an ego thing.
Imagine, for example, that the internet is supposed to go off on weekends. Okay, so it’s off. And so you take a walk or swim in the ocean. What’s so hard about that?
Your life cannot be disconnected. Your life is always. You have life with or without the internet, without your car, without electricity, and so on. Meanwhile, all these conveniences do not compare to the sun and the stars or to the glory of life on Earth.
You are not here on Earth to do penance. Life is not like that. Life is your golden opportunity. It is the star at the top of the Christmas tree. It is for the love of life that you are here. You have a great opportunity before you to make life choices. You can choose to be whatever you want. You can choose to be unhappy amidst plenty, and you can choose to be happy with nothing. You can choose to be content. You can choose to be impatient. What a world I created where you can be satisfied or dissatisfied at will. Come right up. Make your choices, and know that others follow you. They follow your disgruntlement, and they follow your cheeriness. Which is it, beloveds? Which do you choose?
Thanks Tina & Jean for the lovely messages! So sweet!

Thank you everyone who is posting messages to this topic. I really lose that feeling of “only me”..which is ridiculous i know..but please keep it up..everyone has a nugget of “how” to go through this and GET SOMETHING out of it. What happened to all of you during the last square?
Just checked this out, 2002. First child had just been born, the mother was very ill, retained placenta plus mastitis. I was working as a driver for a drug dealer, ended up being on the run in another state.
Dear Saturn, I am working hard to learn my lessons. I have bend and stretched as far as I can, the only thing I ask is that when you are done whipping the heck out of my EGO and allowing me to see the best ways to do things, and let go of my resistance to growth that you reward me for the 50 years I have contributed to this earth. Yours @ 25deg. of Cancer 12th house… Cheers. Now I need a nap!
