Saturn in Taurus: all about Taurus Saturn

This Saturn-in-Taurus page and much of this 550-page website are excerpted from You and the Universe, a handmade, individualized fine art book on astrology, mythology and astronomy through which the recipient's complete astrological reading is woven.

With Saturn in Taurus you have a great fear of loss, and are being tested for possessiveness and a true sense of values. Don't make material things too important. You may want to possess even loved ones; often jealousy needs to be overcome. You're persistent to the point of stubbornness, and have great stamina. You can be very pragmatic, restricting yourself in the present, and with careful planning putting off immediate gratification for the promise of future reward. If Saturn is afflicted, money isn't denied, but there may be problems attached to finances. You will have lessons in the use of your sexual and generative energy, as well as in speech (Taurus rules the throat). Saturn returns to each sign once every 29 or 30 years for about a three-year stay. Saturn was in Taurus from 7/1939 to 5/1942, from 5/1969 to 2/1972, and from 6/1998 to 4/2001.
