One of the classic interpretation for Saturn is “delays,” especially in the sense that the fruition of your desire will be delayed (modern astrology also added “delayed psychological development” as a possibility, but that’s another subject.)
Whether it is career development or finding your soulmate or recovering from illness or achieving financial goals, it is frustrating for the ego to encounter these delays. The question we may ask of Saturn here is, what causes these delays in fulfillment?
I think the central Saturnian thought is that somehow we haven’t matured enough to experience these fulfillment.
Let’s say if you are single and are out looking for a soulmate. You have a pretty specific idea of what he or she is like, and what kind of relationship you’d like to have. The sobering Saturnian question is, if this person shows up just this minute, are you ready for him/her? Will you feel worthy being with him? Do you have what she needs and wants for the kind of relationship that she would like to have?
Or do you have to do some work on yourself first.
We can do this with the career you’d like to have, the new position you’d like to be promoted to, the amount of money you’d like to make, etc. It’s quite difficult to hang on to a relationship with someone who doesn’t have the same level of self-worth and emotional maturity with you. If you want someone healthy and emotionally available, maybe you need to ask yourself if you have cultivated enough self love and emotional maturity.
Same goes for financial prosperity: Many ordinary people destroy themselves when they have sudden influx of cash – whether by winning a lottery, getting lucky in the Internet stock bubble of 1990′s, or real estate market bubble of 2004-2005, they somehow receive more success than they were equipped to handle, and it ends up becoming their worst curse rather than a blessing.
So delay is not always a bad thing – it may actually be a very wise message from the universe, letting you know that the time to prepare is now.
