Saturn in the signs
Saturn in Aquarius
Saturn is at home in Aquarius: structure serves the group and the idea. Discipline goes into systems, principles and friendship; fear is of conformity, or of exile. Authority is impersonal and fair. The work is to let the principle bend for the person in front of it.
In plain words
Saturn stands for your duties and your limits. In Aquarius, that works in an Aquarius way: independent, principled and a little detached. You do it your own way and care about the bigger group.
