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.
In plain words
Saturn stands for your duties and your limits. In Leo, that works in a Leo way: warm, proud and wanting to be seen. You do things with heart and want them noticed.
