Saturn in Aries

Saturn is in fall in Aries: discipline and initiative are at odds, and the lesson is to act deliberately. Fear is of not being enough on one's own; the structure is built around courage learned rather than given. Authority comes late and is earned by doing. The work is to begin without permission and to finish what the anger started.

In plain words

Saturn stands for your duties and your limits. In Aries, that works in an Aries way: quick, brave and impatient. You act first and think about it later.
