Saturn opposite Saturn transit is a period of reassessment and restructuring that occurs at ages 15, 44 and 74. Also termed the Saturn Opposition, it is often a challenging turning point in life because the opposition aspect is similar to Saturn. Both make things slow and cold and cause blockage, restrictions, delay, rigidity, repression, hardship, standstill and crystallization.
However, the opposition also provides inner strength, endurance and protection, while Saturn provides patience, discipline, and stability. So, if you have been responsible and hard-working over recent years, your Saturn Opposition may bring achievement and recognition. This is especially so if your natal Saturn is well-aspected.
Whatever the case, circumstances will encourage you to slow down, reexamine your long-term goals and prepare for a new seven-year cycle, so patience is essential. The most critical areas of your life are being tested to ensure their soundness.
If your career, relationships or home life is causing stress, serious decisions may be necessary to realign yourself with your karmic path. The further you have strayed from that path or the more irresponsible you have been, the greater the stress and challenges will be.
Age 15
Saturn opposite Saturn transit at age 15 represents the beginning of adulthood with mistakes and lessons. Puberty is almost complete, and you may begin your first job or serious relationship. You want to be treated as an adult but may be frustrated by limitations and delays. Responsibility is the major theme, and confrontation with authority figures will likely occur as you test your limits. You also start thinking more seriously about your long-term goals and career path.
Age 44
Your second Saturn Opposition at age 44 is the most significant because it means you are getting old.
Scientists have found that human beings age at a molecular level in two accelerated bursts – first at the age of 44, and then again at 60. [CNN]
- Age 44 is your second Saturn opposition (Saturn opposite Saturn transit).
- Age 60 is your second Saturn return (Saturn conjunct Saturn transit).
Neglecting your health over many years can lead to illness now. A poor diet, laziness or addiction will catch up with you. You may feel sorrow, guilt or frustration, but it is time to learn from your mistakes, let go of bad habits and restructure your life.
Saturn rewards hard work. So, if you have looked after yourself and made healthy life choices, you will have some protection against disease. You will also have the energy and motivation to handle the challenges of this major transition.
Facing the consequences of your actions over the last 7, 14 or 30 years is the major theme of this transit, and it applies to all areas of life, not just your physical health.
Your relationships with your partner, family and colleagues may be tested regarding strength, dependability or loyalty. This especially applies to people you feel some responsibility for, have shared responsibilities with, or are your superiors. Relationships strained over recent years may end or be subject to restructuring.
This is also a period of reassessment of your career, long-term goals, reputation and public profile. If you are on the right path for your soul, love your work and have been hard-working, this will likely be a high point regarding professional success and status. Promotion, more responsibility, a role as a leader or mentor, or even a comfortable early retirement is possible.
Loss of employment, an unsatisfying career, financial debt or frustration due to an inability to achieve long-term goals are signs that you should reconsider your career choices and other major objectives. Drawing a line under the past and letting go of outdated ambitions does not have to be seen as a failure.
Setting a new course with more achievable and realistic goals can remove restrictions and relieve you of a heavy burden. Your options could include more education or training, refinancing or bankruptcy, or more education or training.
Relocation is another possibility, as Saturn opposite Saturn transit can also affect your physical home. You may need to move, renovate, repair, downsize or even buy your first home.
Whatever the case, self-discipline, hard work and patience are needed as you overcome challenges, remove barriers to progress, and strengthen or rebuild your foundations for future stability and security.
Age 74
Congratulations on getting this far; you are now old. Your final Saturn Opposition brings reflection and memories, as well as practical issues and serious decisions about your future. If you are still working, it is time to consider slowing down and handing over responsibility.
It is time to get your affairs in order, like your will and funeral arrangements. Plan how you want to spend your remaining years. Your living arrangements and level of assistance may need reassessment, and material possessions may need to be organized or passed down.
But why I am facing inexplicable financial hardship right now? I had helped my son to overcome bankruptcy. Is it my fault for which I am facing this ugly financial situation which drains out my energy and mental happiness?
What is your age?
I am also facing hard financial difficulties at the age of 64 ,,, even though at the age of 44 ,, all was flourishing .
Date of birth 2nd/May ,1960
Hi Mohammad, you had Saturn opposite Pluto transit from April 2023 to January 2024 which cna cause financial difficulties.
Thank you dear Jamie ,,, i am sorry , but that period ( April , 23 to Nov. 2023 ) was auspicious ,, it all started in 2024 till now ,,, does it have to do with the square Jupiter / Gemini – Saturn /Pisces ???
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krisna says to Arjuna, “The workings of karma are unfathomable. Even the wise are beguiled by it.” Good luck.

2005 and 2006 period is when I go through a relationship seperation, do a lot of book reading, prepare for a rendevous with a comet and transition from Saturn type to Uranus archtype (2007).
The Moon in these charts, I prefer it be interpreted as Public.
I am 82. What now?
Hi BJ. You have Neptune opposite Neptune transit this year. I have not written about it but it will be similar to Neptune square Neptune transit (age 42). I will write the opposition up and I should also write a post about the major cycles of the outer planets.
The OPP occurs in my 7th Taurus. Financial, not so much, but started long term, long lasting effect relationships at both the first and second opps. No comment. 🤣
Starting to look at Saturn on my chart, it is quite the aspecter to just about all planets. It would be a good study for me to mark the times of my life. The scope of such an endeavor makes geneology tree research pale in comparison. The geneology tree seems to be another ‘old age’ interest.
Hi Vic i think research for ancestors is also a pluto thing…archeology maybe too…i.e. famous egyptologist howard carter had saturn square pluto. As i remember he was capricorn too.
Digging yes. Me, I like junk. I love sculptures made out of junk. I have more ideas than I can ever do. So I gots to be careful not to become a hoarder.
I do good junk walls. I am Virgo with my junk. It has to be orged with an uplifting balance (Libra Mercury mind). Messy in my day to day living, but my junk is orged.
Progressed Jupiter is now sextiling natal Saturn. Have lots of stories. I am suprised at how much story telling I do at get togethers now. Kinduv funny. Others goad me to do so. It’s been a long adventurous life. I guess that’s what following my heart got me.
Or the exciting years when progressed mercury was retrograde. What a gas!
I am 74 on 9 Sept….. so when you go into your 74th yr (when u turn 73) is that when it starts from?? That year was a challenge but they also say that 74 is the Caretaker year…. life wasnt meant to be easy. Thanks Jamie
Hi Pauline, your Saturn Opposition in on March 19, 2025.
Oh gosh, I am deep into Saturn now. Backbone. And how much can I carry. Never woulda thunk it.
I’ve had this opposition 2 years ago and it hit me hard. I was down with C0v1d and suddenly I came to realize my parents would not live forever. I started to miss my mom. My parents live 2 hours away, wich in our country is a lot. I know distance is relative and in the States it is peanuts but as I said, distance is relative, it depends on what you are used to. So I was missing the time I was a child and she cared for me as a sahm. I missed the way she nurtured me and all the things. I wanted to crawl back into her lap. I realized my parents are in their late 60’s so I would probably have 20 or 30 years left with them, if everything turnes out naturally. I even still have a grandmother of 95. I visit my parents 4 times a year and I decided to make it 5. I was wondering why I felt that way and discovered it was my Saturn opposition at 44. I have natal Saturn in 4 and Saturn was transiting my 10th house. Of course it had to be something with family and parents!
Later that year my dad had cardiac arrest after a routine surgery. Luckily it happened while they were still in the hospital because they needed to stay longer because something went wrong earlier so they wanted to monitor him. I almost lost my dad, while half a year earlier I was missing my mom. It really put things in perspective for me and I want to make more happy memories with them. Natal Saturn is 29 degree Leo and my dad is a 6 planets Leo including Sun. So, this was my Saturn opposition and again, astrology proved to be an exact science for me! Lol
In 2022 I went throughout this opposition. My natal Saturn in Leo 10th house. My bosses was something out of horor movie they shout on me on daily basis, all the time was picking on me, whole team was perfect excep me. It was awful but I handled whole situation with dignity and pride and at the end of transit I received recognition and they told me that I’m the best and got promotion.
It’s my second promotion, the first was on my Saturn return. I love my Saturn
Hi Jamie
New to all of this, I’m 44 and my partner is facing bankruptcy, is facing major litigation on two other fronts, we lost our family home and are currently homeless living at relatives temporarily. New business ventures for my partner seem to be forever fruitless. We’ve also lost our family business. It seems all the chaos is happening around me but causing so much heartache directly. Not sure what is going on. I have a red cross (?) in my chart and it says Saturn is conjunct IC. Saturn is currently transiting my natal moon on the MC (?) in Pisces. Venus is in the asc (?) and Neptune in the desc (?).
What can one do with all this. Appreciate the feedback in advance from a complete novice.
Hope you don’t mind me butting in here. I am going house on you. 10th house Pisces? That means 8th house Capricorn? Transiting Pluto in Capricorn maybe wreaked havoc on joint finances. You are digging for resources. It’s a given. It’s around you? Hard not to get sucked into it. It sounds like there is a support team around you. New joint venture hopefully.
Where is transiting Uranus in your chart? 12th? 1st? Feel like busting out.? It could happen. Structure (Saturn) is being tested.
Yes. Wow. Thank you for responding Vic. Everything is being tested, on the material side of things we have been completely wiped out. Relationships are being tested monumentally. Don’t know what home is or will be. My Jupiter is also in my fourth house. Uranus is just on the cusp of my first house. Does the madness continue, seems like it. I’d be happy with things just being rock bottom at this point.
Hi Jamie
I got retrenched and couldn’t find a job for months. I’m 42 and having Uranus trine Venus. Venus is my 10th house based on ascendant Capricorn. Why such a depressing time now?
Thank You Very Much General Partridge ⚡️🔥🫡🔥⚡️
Greatly Appreciate This Detailed Writeup Regarding Last Month’s Post 🙏🏼

Jamie and his sponsor, a persistant Saturn effort to expose the Artist/artwork for maximum ransacking?
Mars at cusp of 12th natal, I may not have much to say until December, as this energy is the ‘hidden enemies’ zone where we have already seen an example of ‘subjective completion’ and ‘self undoing’, played out by the Sun actor Biden @ July.
My pluto opposition is in houses 2 and 8, saturn is at 12 and 7, so I have a big ol’ X of awfulness going on right now. I lost my job a year and a half ago and as of tomorrow morning I’m homeless. I’ve been trying to avoid this for a long time and it’s like everything I touch turns to ash. Friends and “friends” have either helped or disappeared, but even those who help hit these uncanny walls of difficulty all of a sudden that crush what safe harbor they have for me pretty fast. So if someone said sure, stay with me for 2-3 months, two days after I get there their house collapses. (This is an example.) I’ve been busting my butt working toward my goals and making ends meet in the meantime, I do all the therapy work and the meds, my health could be better but given the circumstances…eh? What do you do when the universe is shooting at your feet while you’re tied to a post and demands to know why you’re not moving?
