Saturn Transit Opposite Sun In The 8th House Effects

When Saturn transits opposite your sun, you can expect to be judged.  If your sun is in the 8th house, it can quite intense. You may feel naked. Your power may thwarted or blocked.  Rejection is a given and it may be deep.

The 8th house is concerned with psychology. Jealousy and obsession are common themes.

You can expect to be restricted in various ways. You’re also likely to be cut off from the energy of others. I’m talking about energy of all kinds.

I am having this transit now, and can give you a lot of examples. Cut off from the traffic that sustains this site, by google, etc.  De-boosted if not out and out blocked on all social media.  Worst of most of my close friends / inner circle have died or are very ill.  Some have been taken off the grid for other reasons; like my friend, Stevie, who lost her husband, unexpectedly,  a few weeks ago.  She’s understandably down for the count.

My husband has also been offline, so to speak, caring for his dying mother who recently passed.  You get this idea; I have to paddle this boat on my own steam.

The reduced interaction on this blog is another manifestation. “It’s all so fun”, she says, facetiously.

It’s not at all fun, but you wind up digging deep inside; finding the energy and stamina to support (Saturn) yourself (Sun). You mature.  You learn to draw lines, to exclude the soulless people who kick you when you’re down.

It’s a bit like bootcamp for the psyche, but I had a new insight over the last few days. It’s finally crystallized.  This is an ideal time for a self-exam!

I found myself doing this while writing the, Shack, story.  I never embellish my stories or remove things that don’t flatter me.  I write the facts. Consequently, I can look at my own behavior.  The story is allowing me to be the Saturn figure, and scrutinize my behavior.

Just yesterday, I recalled, this story coincided with my quitting therapy.  I had gone to therapy weekly, for three years.  I came home from this trip; told my therapist about the events, then told her I was quitting.  I explained, I was getting married. I had to move, get the new house set up, help, Shack move, get our friends together, get my new career going and we were going to have children.  I just needed all my time and energy to focus on this stuff.  She was a very good therapist and good with my decision.

So now I’m taking a look at my behavior from a matured perspective, via the story. I’m pretty shocked how stable I was.

I haven’t quite thought this through, but so many people over the years have tried to tell me I’m all messed up, because of my childhood.  I think about it, but I almost never internalize these…whatever they are. Projections, probably.

I’m not saying I did not suffer due to my background, but I cleaned up, pretty good, from what I can see, and I did so in my twenties.

Check this out: I work with people who personally know my therapist, from all those years ago. Seriously. They are her peers from the next generation.

I had told here, I’d decided to write.

“About what?”

“Astrology”.

And here I am decades later.

If Saturn is transiting your 8th house sun, I hope this post helps you.  If you do find you’re kind of wormy, it’s okay.  Just do the work; put it right and heal your life as you’ve definitely got what it takes.
