Astrological Counseling in Vienna
Saturn is known as Lord of the Time and as Great Teacher both in mythology and in astrology. These metaphors of time and learning are compatible with the concept of experience, that is astrologically also assigned to Saturn's domain: our experience, the basis for learning about the world and about ourselves, can only be created in time.

The material reality
Saturn also represents material reality as opposed to spirit and mind, and the limitations of matter and time. It symbolises the world with which we interact as we expand and build a sense of self. In this respect, astrological Saturn is also linked to the social environment, which is a crucial component in the construction of human experience and existence. By observing planetary movements and their correspondences in people's lives, astrology has established interpretations for Saturn that can be summarised under the following terms: Time, experience, world, society, restriction and limitation, self-regulation, learning and development.
Measuring from its position in the sky on the day of birth, Saturn moves forward and forms angular relationships with its own initial position in approximately 7-year-rhythm. The four stages of a Saturn cycle are also completed in 7-year steps. Different stages of Saturn cycle are characterised by shifts in personal development and maturation and can outline an entire human lifespan. One full cycle lasts approximately 28 years. Because Saturn sometimes moves faster and sometimes slower, the length of its cycle can vary from 27 to 30 years and its individual stages can deviate from the 7-year periods. Modern humans experience three or even four cycles of Saturn, with each cycle characterised by four stages.

The childhood
It is interesting to note that science has identified developmental spurts in the prefrontal cortex between the ages of 5 and 7. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for rational thinking, problem solving, planning and attention. Accordingly, school enrolment in our society begins at the age of seven. Before this age, children operate predominantly from the emotional and survival centre of the brain (the hypothalamus and the limbic system).
This age coincides with the end of the first and the beginning of the second phase of the first Saturn cycle. The turning points of the various stages mark astrologically important phases in personal development and are characterised by more or less inherent tension that demands adaptation. The school environment offers not only academic learning but also represents the first experience of social regulations and expectations, which astrologically speaking is also a domain of Saturn.

School environment provides not only academical learning but also first experiences with social regulations and expectations which are astrologically also domain of Saturn. They require development of self-regulation which in consequence expands self-awareness and self-understanding. Self-regulation, adaptation and self-awareness are aspects of development that are part of every Saturn phase, always embedded in the circumstances appropriate to the age.
The puberty
The next developmental spurt takes place around the age of 14, when the third stage of the Saturn cycle begins. This is the onset of sexual and social maturation, when young adolescents begin to develop their social and gender identity. It is very interesting that at the same time Uranus reaches an angular relationship of 60°, measuring from its position at the time of birth. This is one stage in the Uranus cycle, which at 84 years corresponds to the duration of an average life span. When Uranus appears in an astrological picture, it always coincides with the urge for independence. At this age, this is independence from parents.

The legal age
The fourth stage of the first Saturn cycle begins around the age of 21. This occurs simultaneously with the next Uranus phase of 90° and often coincides with adjustments and experiences characterised by an intensification of individuality and independence. Many first experiences take place, such as the first job, the first home of one's own, travelling the world, a change of residence, the first marriage or something else. At this time the young individuals enthusiastically assert themselves in the world, gaining experiences that enrich them and carry them towards greater maturity and the completion of the first Saturn cycle, the so-called first Saturn Return.

The adulthood
With the first Saturn return, around the age of 28, the second Saturn cycle begins, which is also marked by four stages. What we have built up in our lives and what we have learnt so far undergoes a challenge brought about by external circumstances at around the age of 28, 35, 42 and 49. This challenge either helps to consolidate things or to initiate a necessary adjustment.
In the second Saturn cycle, matters relating to career or social standing are usually thematised. However, depending on Saturn's position at the time of birth, other areas of life may also come into focus. The last phase of the second Saturn cycle, which begins around the age of 49, paves the way for the second Saturn return. The third cycle begins at around the age of 56.
Saturn's cycles astrologically illustrate individual development through different stages of life. They correspond to the building and remodelling of experience through material and social conditions. Learning, maturation, responsibility and some kind of external and internal repositioning are common to all turning points between two stages in the cycle, regardless of the age at which they occur. When you look back on your life, you will be able to recognise the rhythm of Saturn and how it shapes your experiences into a fulfilling life.
