Saturn in Leo
Saturn is in detriment in Leo: self-expression is disciplined and sometimes withheld. Fear is of being ridiculous, or unseen; the structure is a creative life built by craft rather than flair. Authority is dignified and reserved. The work is to play in public and to let the warmth out unedited.
