The Scrooge of The Zodiac

Saturn is the "Scrooge" of the zodiac. This idea relates to the position of Saturn in your astrological birth chart. Wherever Saturn is found in this wheel, this is where every person has a challenge, a test, and lessons to learn.
The connection that Saturn makes to other planets in your chart reveals the challenges, limitations, and potential growth you will need to work through and understand.
Here are three examples:
If you are a woman and Saturn is found in the same sign as your Sun, then you will have great difficulty opening your heart to a man. This is due to your relationship to your father and the experiences of rarely being supported by men. Therefore, you have strong fears of intimacy and it seems impossible for you to believe that a man can truly love you. You have the power to change these feelings, but it will take real effort and the desire to dissolve your fear. It may help to realize that this life condition was given to you so that you may learn what true intimacy is, because you tend to run away from it. This is due to the fear of being hurt.
If you are a man and Saturn is found in the same sign as your Moon, you are prone to depression and have never felt that your mother loved you. You seem to feel that there is no sense of ever being nurtured from within. You fail to get emotional support from a woman due to your conditioning with your mother. You seem to attract women who don't seem to have any nurturing capacity, or you pursue women whom you have to nurture with the hope that they will then nurture you. Be aware that you could also attract a woman who likes to be "the mother." This can be a real trap for both of you because she will try to keep you dependent on her and you can be easily manipulated by your own emotional needs.
Whether you are a man or woman, if Saturn is in the same sign as your Mars, you both will feel inhibited and frustrated. It seems that whenever you follow your passion and take action to realize it, something or someone gets in your way. It seems, that no matter what you do, people seem to put a roadblock in front of you, or this is how you interpret their actions. This is why you are prone to rage and experience outbursts of anger. You may have been seriously repressed by your father or an authority figure in childhood. You may have even heard your father or mother say, "I was only trying to keep you from doing something that would hurt you. Sometimes you seemed to be out of control."
A skilled astrologer can determine your relationships to Saturn and help you determine if you have any karmic connections that need to be understood and resolved. Such insights are invaluable.
Who knows. One day you may no longer think of Saturn as the "Scrooge" of the zodiac. He was only trying to teach you something.
