Sun Conjunct Saturn
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Sun conjunct your natal Saturn. Duty, responsibility and honor are highlighted at this time. Tradition and family matters may come to the forefront, and your business obligations will weigh heavy on you, causing you to feel more tired than usual at the end of the day. This can be a time of serious committment when you start a new project that has long term consequences for the future (the author started his web/software business under this transit). Advancement and promotion is certainly possible now, but you may have doubts about your effectiveness or insecurities about the future. You may sense that you are losing touch with others as this transit has the effect of isolating you. It can be due to pursuing your ambitions, but it is also a side effect of Saturn's ability to distinguish you and set you apart. The more distinct you become, the less like other people you are, and the danger is that you can begin to feel alienated from those around you.
