Building Upon Solid Ground: Saturn Sextile Saturn

A Saturn sextile Saturn transit can bring about feelings of limitation, restriction, and increased responsibility. You may feel as though you are being tested, and this can create a sense of pressure or obligation. As you work through past karmic issues, there may be a sense of things slowing down or meeting obstacles that require additional focus. Old patterns, fears, and insecurities may surface and there can be frustration if you feel you aren’t progressing as fast as you should be. This is the universe's way of urging you to reevaluate existing plans so that you may lay the groundwork for something far better in the long run. Be mindful of becoming rigid or dogmatic, as this may cause you to miss valuable learning opportunities. Try to avoid negativity and focus on the positive aspects of your life.

When you work consciously with the energy of a Saturn sextile Saturn transit, you may see the benefit of applied effort. This aspect offers steady progress toward long-term goals thanks to increased discipline, practicality, and realism. Your ability to concentrate is enhanced, making this a good time to further your education or learn something new. Existing projects can be restructured to allow for greater ease and productivity. This can be a great period of consolidation and refinement. Be open to receiving advice and support from those who’ve been in similar situations, as they may have a valuable perspective to share with you.

Because this aspect represents a transit between Saturn and Saturn in different parts of your chart or across time, look at where the transiting Saturn is activating your natal Saturn. Notice what areas of life correspond to each Saturn placement and how they relate to your overall life path. This aspect presents an opportunity to practice patience and discipline. Take things one step at a time and don't rush the process. Create a realistic plan to tackle what needs to be addressed and trust in your ability to achieve your goals. Prioritize self-care so that you don't get overwhelmed by the lessons presented to you.
