SATURN

***The 12th house, by it's nature, is always a slippery concept to cope with and any planet which is overlaid by this house tends, in its response, to reflect this amorphous quality. Saturn will tend to feel an unconscious tug in this house which is not entirely pleasant. The house person will be perceived as someone to whom the Saturn person has a kind of karmic debt, an unavoidable obligation, which must be paid even if the price is unwelcome. Even a normally assertive and confident personality may feel disarmed by the house person if their Saturn is overlaid by the 12th, almost as if some of the structural firmness of the Saturn person's self-image is weakened by the presence of the other person. Still, there is a deep pull in this response which leaves the Saturn person often unable to avoid the demands of the house person. How the house person responds to this depends largely on how much compassion and integrity they possess, a synastric analysis problem for us to solve. Clearly, if the Saturn person is in a position to be badly used or exploited, we should try to point this out and create an awareness of this vulnerability.
