Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with Saturn in the tenth house this year:
So, I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out, you know, life. And this year, Saturn – that taskmaster planet – decided to park itself right in my tenth house. The tenth house, for those not in the know, is all about career, public image, and long-term goals. I was like, “Oh boy, here we go.”
Bracing for Impact
I’d read all sorts of things about Saturn transits. Words like “restriction,” “discipline,” and “hard work” kept popping up. Honestly, I was a bit freaked out. I’m all for personal growth, but I also like my comfort zone!
The First Few Months: Feeling the Squeeze
At first, it wasn’t terrible. It was more like a subtle pressure. I started to feel… restless in my job. I’d been coasting for a while, doing the same old thing, and suddenly, it felt… insufficient. Like I was capable of more, but also terrified of actually trying for more.
- Started questioning everything: My career path, my skills, my ambitions. What did I really want?
- Felt stuck: I knew I needed a change, but I had no idea what that change should be. Classic analysis paralysis.
- Procrastination nation: Instead of, you know, doing something, I spent a lot of time scrolling through job boards and feeling overwhelmed.
Taking Action (Finally!)
After a few months of this internal back-and-forth, I realized I couldn’t keep avoiding the issue. Saturn wasn’t going to let me! I started taking small steps:
-
Updated my resume. It was painful, but necessary.
Had to confront all the things I hadn’t been doing.
- Talked to people. Reached out to old colleagues, friends in different industries, even a career counselor I found on, well just in my local area, face to face.
- Started learning new skills. Took a couple of online courses in areas that had always interested me, just to test the waters.
The Hard Work Pays Off (Slowly)
It wasn’t a magical overnight transformation. It was more like a slow, steady climb. There were setbacks, rejections, and moments of serious self-doubt. But I kept pushing. I reminded myself that Saturn rewards effort, not wishes.
And then, it started to happen. Small wins. Positive feedback. A few promising interviews. I even started a side project related to one of the new skills I’d learned. It’s still early days, but I feel like I’m finally moving in the right direction. My direction.
Lessons Learned (So Far)
Saturn in the tenth house is definitely a challenge, but it’s not a curse. It’s more like a… cosmic boot camp. It forces you to get serious about your goals, to confront your limitations, and to put in the work required to build a solid foundation for your future. It’s not always fun, but it’s definitely worthwhile.
I’m still in the thick of it, but I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I’m actually… grateful? Yeah, I think I am. Thanks, Saturn. (I think.)
