In astrology, Saturn is a planet in every zodiac sign's natal chart. Its placement in a particular zodiac sign or house affects and brings Capricorn personality traits to that aspect. Saturn is the planetary ruler of Capricorn and people whose birthday falls between December 22nd and January 20th.

Saturn astrology meaning

In astrology, Saturn represents a fatherly figure that brings about rules, regulations, structure, obligation, ambition, and some discipline. These rules are meant to help all zodiac signs to understand and learn about the world around us. Saturn is known to restrict and limit while also creating structure in life. Saturn brings meaning to our lives while reminding us of boundaries, commitments, and responsibilities. History is a big part of Saturn. Therefore, Saturn also represents traditions — a major part of your life.

The role of Saturn in astrology helps us grow into who we are.

As Traditional Tropical Astrologer Ellie Remotigue explains in a TikTok video, Saturn is known as a malefic planet, meaning "it is difficult or it tries to do harm to us." That said, it's important not to look at Saturn as the "malefic bad guy." Instead, Remotigue suggests looking at Saturn in astrology as teaching us "the hard life lessons that we have to learn." These lessons are often revealed to us during our Saturn return, which happens every 27-30 years.
