Natal Saturn in the 4th house: The Bearer of All Weight
Saturn in the 4th house feels like trying to grow an apple tree in a room with no windows. What should be a warm womb often feels more like a cold prison or a heavy weight.

Saturn in Pisces Transit and Natal
With Saturn in Pisces, we’re not struggling to build nor struggling against the past. Instead, we are letting things dissolve, move, and change. We’re trusting. Accepting. Carving out channels for our waters to flow through and things aren’t quite so serious. No Saturn transit is “easy”, but this feels like a breath of fresh air.
