Hi everybody, this is Frank Clifford and I'm here to present another Frank answers presented by Astrology Hub. Now this time we have a question from

Leanne and it's about her Saturn Transit along with her own son, Saturn Transit.

And the question is, can you explain the difference

between transiting Saturn crossing the ascendant

and then when Saturn retrogrades back over the ascendant. And she asked with her son as well who's having his first Saturn return and what the difference is when Saturn turns retrograde and hits that position again.

So let's take a look at Leanne's chart.

Okay, here we go and we can see that at the moment,

around this moment Saturn is transiting her ascendant and its retrograde at the moment

shown by the red numbers here on Astra Gold. So really the rule of thumb with transits is that if they're going to go over three times each time they go over they mean a particular particular thing now some transits of course of Saturn and Jupiter will just cross over once and won't return, but you'll get the outer planets will always go over three times and Pluto sometimes up to five times if you're using a one degree orb.

So what about Saturn? With, if you may remember a few episodes ago I was looking at retrogrades and their meanings in the chart,

and retrograde always speaks about going over old ground.

So in terms of a transit transit when a planet makes its first crossing over a position, in this case it's Saturn over Leanne's ascendant, is introducing her to this season, the season of Saturn Crossing the Ascendant.

And it's important during that time to look out for any messages that appear to be Saturnian in terms of responsibilities, learning to develop boundaries with people and also being good to yourself because under Saturn Transit we can often work too hard and focus too much on looking after others or feeling bound by guilt to look after others.

At best, a staff in transit can be quite liberating

because you know that if you work hard
