Knowing the planets and their effects on your life is just as important as knowing your sign.

Saturn describes your ambition in life, your major life lessons, and your feelings of inadequacy. Saturn is about restrictions, limitations, boundaries, and safety. It's about hard work and getting what you deserve.

If Saturn was retrograde when you were born, you are responsible for your own success and failures, but if Saturn was stationary when you were born, you are more goal-oriented, disciplined, and determined to succeed.
