Does Saturn in Aries affect a Libra ascendant?

“Does Saturn in Aries affect a Libra ascendant?” a question I answered on Quora.

Well, in general, all planets and angles are in relationship with each other. So yes Saturn in Aries will of course “affect a Libra ascendant” particularly such a sensitive area.

Without seeing a whole birth-chart this is going to be somewhat generalised – in isolation. And “isolation” being the operative word in my comments.

With a Libra ascendant and Saturn in Aries (descendant) you will have Saturn in the 6th or 7th house.

Take a look at the dynamics

Libra is seeking to get on with people, come across as an alround good egg, be nice and friendly, and good at weighting up the pros and cons in making life choices and decisions.

Across the divide, the Aries theme is a do it now, take action and go it alone theme – act now and ask questions later. With Aries on the descendant however your inclination will be towards getting your steer, for what to do, through others, in context with others or against others.

Saturn in Aries, meanwhile, will tend to put the brakes on and further hinder the Aries sense of urgency, and need for momentum. If Saturn is in the 7th house too it can add to feelings of a disconnect, a sense of isolation – relationships not working. It suggests an inability to attract people, or the right sort of people, into your life.

Bottom line you can get to feel you are stuck, not knowing which way to turn for sure.

The themes here suggest you need to develop patience and be prepared to go it alone. Once you can do that (with kindness to yourself and others) everthing will work out of its own accord. Think of Saturn as brokering healthy long term partnership/s.

I hope this helps.
