Saturn at 8° Virgo Dates

Saturn is the archetype of the stern, punishing father. He is traditionally a masculine planet and considered a "malefic," meaning he tends to indicate circumstances of hardship or difficulties. He is the most challenging planet in the chart for people born at night. Psychologically, Saturn represents discipline, structure, boundaries, seriousness, responsibility, sacrifice, denial (of self and/or others), decrease, scarcity, criticism, standards, limitation, restraint, constraint, mastery, fear, loss, suffering, reality, time-management, and can often be a place of core wounding (especially in childhood).
