Saturn sextile Sun transit is a time for steady progress toward your longer-term goals. You will be more responsible for all your affairs, from work to partners and family. This is an excellent opportunity to express your leadership qualities, and you may be called on to fulfill essential duties.
You now have the patience, stamina, and strong confidence in your abilities to take on more responsibility and can expect to do a lot and earn a pat on the back. This transit can mean success but also represents a building phase toward achieving your longer-term goals.
You may receive guidance and help from a father figure, or if you are older, you can play the mentor role yourself, as you are respected for your hard work and knowledge base. This is a period of general stability in your life where lower stress levels mean you can work on the things that mean a lot to you.
Slow but steady progress with finances and investments. The main point is that you are likely to act conservatively with an eye on longer-term profits. Your relationships, especially with men and your family members, should be strengthened and show mutual respect and understanding.

I had Saturn Sextile Sun exact yesterday. Went to the dentist today for a filling. First time in 25 years I have no cavities! Saturn rules teeth and decay, Sun rules general vitality and well-being. Saturn retrograde at the moment played out too. The appointment was postponed from a few weeks ago because of transport problems.
Hello Jamie,
Could you please explain the Saturn sextile MC transit. After having Saturn passing over my Sun, Mars, Mercury and Uranus all in Scorpio I am happy it is over…Now it is sextiling my MC and is 1 degree from conjuncting my natal Neptune at the same time.
Thanks a bunch and I wish you a happiest 2016!
I would like to add that my Pluto is 1 degree pass my MC, so Saturn is sextiling Pluto as well.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Nikita, you too. Saturn sextile MC should be a time of achievement and recognition. Professional advancement in your career, or establishing a new career. Making you mark in the world. Can take on leadership role, extra responsibility. Favors long term goals-setting, patient and persistent effort. Striving for success.
Many thanks Jamie, much appreciated. Would be great to have these transits written about on here, so we don’t bother you with questions 😉
Oh I’m getting there. I have stopped doing personal readings so I can finish all the aspects and transits. About 40% there at the moment.
Dear Jamie,
What happens when Saturn is retrograde in this transit (2020)
Good question Sophie. This would still be a positive transit during Saturn retrograde but the effects are more drawn out. There may be some delays. During any retrograde phase, the positive or negative effects seem to drag on or may seem less intense.
Thank you, Jamie! I did in fact experience this transit very like you described it. And I have only just found your reply.
