Saturn in Taurus

Saturn in Taurus builds slowly and holds on. Discipline goes into security, property and the body; fear is of want, and the structure is a life that cannot be taken away. Patience is the strength and inertia the cost. The work is to let value be something other than possession.

In plain words

Saturn stands for your duties and your limits. In Taurus, that works in a Taurus way: steady, comfortable and stubborn. You take your time, and once you settle you do not budge.
