The Saturn-Neptune Conjunction Part II

Personal Impacts, Houses 1 to 3

Lynn Koiner, PLMAFA

For individuals, we will be challenged to dissolve our old boundaries and discover a new societal interaction, a new way of being, indicated by the conjunction’s house position. Also, take into consideration the house positions of Saturn and Neptune in the natal chart. Saturn transiting any house portends a restructuring of our attitude towards that house’s affairs.

Another pattern that I have observed: There is darkness before the dawn with this alignment. There is often a difficult period followed by an expansive period. Personally, with the last alignment, I was initially plagued with health issues, but after, it triggered a period of great expansion with travels to Europe to interview astrologers.

If the conjunction aspects any natal planets at 0° or 1°, it will have a greater impact.

1st house: Any major conjunction in this house will affect self-expression, the personality and the responsibility that we have toward ourselves. This is a self-absorbed area of the horoscope, but we must move beyond self towards social integration. This indicates a new cycle of developing our strengths and assets while dissolving old boundaries and limitations. The new way in which we see ourselves is projected outwards. Since Saturn rules the sum total of parental and societal indoctrination, this rigid part of ourselves will dissolve the limitations through social interaction. The new social conditions will provide the momentum!

Esoterically, the 1st house rules political activism. With Saturn’s entry into the 1st house, it is a time to activate the plans commenced while Saturn was in the 12th House. Under this cycle, my mother cultivated a new social group with people who were truly kindred spirits. My mother worked valiantly to bring Jewish people from Russia to the United States — she is not Jewish, but she found a new family in Hadassah.

2nd house: This house affects how we earn a living and our attitude towards possessions and finances. The individual will now develop new skills, leading to a new way of earning a living. If you productively use this developmental period, change spending habits and save for a future career change, you will have significant opportunities in 2026 and 2027.

To opening up possibilities for individuals who have retired, astrologer Alexander Ruperti stated, “A conservative outlook should give way to an attempt to use one’s resources to fulfill the social and economic needs of the present day.” Considering the current economic and political situation, there will be many opportunities for all to serve one’s fellow man and the environment.

For one woman, when the conjunction occurred in the 2nd house opposing her natal Uranus in the 8th, she tried to start an astrology business, but it was not successful. Later, she got a traditional job with the government, which gave her the security to retire early.

3rd house: This house will bring changes in the immediate environment and the cultivation of new mental skills that will allow the individual to become more professionally stable. Your destiny is to give out practical information for the betterment of society. There is often new interaction on a daily basis with neighbors, one’s localized community and online — all as a means for growth and expansion through social cooperation with others. It is a cycle for blending the conscious mind with the collective.

In a previous cycle, a woman opened a travel business in another country. Changes in the environment and mental stimulation seemed to be a fundamental aspect. This individual wanted to work in a field that used her mental skills in a more specialized yet creative way. There can be dramatic needs in one’s community to which the individual can be of service.
