Does your relationship have a future? |

Saturn’s passage through the sign of Libra (2010/2012) affected the main subject governed by this sign: relationships. Inconsistent and imbalanced relationships were affected by this influence, so that either a solution was found or they could not survive. The reflections of this clearly appeared in 2012, when dozens of famous couples broke up. However, anyone who thinks that cleaning is over is wrong. It will continue full steam ahead with Saturn in Scorpio!

Kristen and Pattinson: betrayal and humiliation

Living side by side, even though they are so different, Libra and Scorpio are deeply intertwined. A recent episode showed this, already close to Saturn’s ingress into Scorpio: the scandal involving the relationship between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison. The couple was the epitome of Libran perfection: young, beautiful, successful, and in love with each other on and off screen. Suddenly, to everyone’s astonishment, especially fans of the Twilight series, Kristen appears in a photo making out with a married director. What do you mean, the Twilight girl cheating on her heartthrob boyfriend? The fairytale ruin provoked a mountain of news and comment.

After an event with a strongly Scorpion connotation, Pattison also had reactions consistent with this sign: he isolated himself, obtained an involuntary personal and professional evidence in the role of betrayed hero and, in the first interview after the episode, avoided commenting on it, showing himself superior to what happened. But he ended up giving his girlfriend a chance after several reports broke that Kristen had desperately tried to get in touch and ask for forgiveness. However, no one knows what it cost him and how the couple will be after something as strong as a betrayal, and even more so public.

In this event, there are several Scorpion ingredients: betrayal, revelation, surprise, scandal, intensity, pain, humiliation, regrets and comebacks. As the universe of celebrities is a kind of showcase of what is happening in the rest of the world, it is possible that many people, celebrities or not, will go through, in the next two years, things similar to what the young couple experienced. In other words, it seems that the strange wave of divorces that devastated 2012 will continue, but also the emergence of new couples, new passions, new stories. Death and rebirth, just like Scorpio.

In health and disease

The connection between Libra and Scorpio also appears in the institution of marriage, which is Libra, and which contains the two facets of this sign, that of romanticism and expectation of good things (represented by Venus), but also that of an agreement or partnership (symbolized by Saturn, which has special dignity in this sign).

The fact that unions and marriages are much more serious than they seem, and, for this reason, they move us so much (as was well illustrated in the Kristen-Pattison case), is clear in the wedding speech, in which the couple promise to “stay together in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, and until death do us part.” This part is not Libra, but Scorpio, which governs seriousness, but also crises and tests.

Any union will only prove solid if it manages to overcome moments of difficulty, such as the transition to the birth of children, losses that a spouse may suffer (material or emotional), physical and emotional illnesses, financial difficulties, differences that will have to be managed, etc. Thus, the fairy tale that begins at the ceremony requires depth, conviction and delivery. Scorpio also rules sex, something that is implicit in the motivation of a marriage, and which, however, can start with problems already or present them later, which can undermine the relationship.

When transiting Scorpio, Saturn will sift through and reveal all this: the stuff that makes up relationships of all kinds. The problems will tend to be clear, to be solved or not. For this reason, an increase in demand for psychologists, therapists and professionals involved in helping people to deal with their problems and relationships can be expected.

Saturn in Scorpio’s Impact on Relationships

Many people will react to transiting Saturn in Scorpio by wanting to become more cautious in relationships, in order to see if they really have consistency. One of the fundamental points of testing consistency is to ask yourself if what the other wants is similar to what we want. It may be time to learn to stop punching a knife and become more practical (Saturn) in the sphere of intimate relationships, and all this without losing feeling and depth (Scorpio).

For this reason, for many people, the next two years will involve, precisely, a lot of learning in this area, which may involve struggles, betrayals, third and fourth chances, financial losses, fights, unwanted pregnancies, illegitimate children, etc.

As with everything in life, some people will learn a lot during this transit and others will not. Some will structure themselves, get stronger, bounce back, willingly discard harmful illusions after having gone through a major cleaning and revision process (Scorpio), perhaps finding new partners better suited to them, while others will remain childish. and immature, repeating the same mistakes.

All the cute but insubstantial relationships will unfold over the next couple of years. Direct, deep and confrontational, Scorpio can ask himself or the other: “Do you like me only for the good times or will you also be by my side in times of crises and problems? Do you just like me strong or will you be able to support me when I’m not well?” That is, is your feeling real, is it right there, does it have a basis?

It is worth remembering that the opposite extreme is not good either: there are those who put too much pressure on relationships, always in crisis or creating crisis. Asking for endless patience and unconditional love for a long time is also unhealthy and strains relationships. And if, equally, in a relationship you have to pester the other nonstop, there is something wrong either with you or the relationship. The transit of Saturn through Scorpio will demarcate the need to think about this type of complex and thorny question.

Intimacy

Even very solid marriages will not be immune to the action of this transit. It has been said that marriage is a partnership and partnership, but not only that. Early stage passion tends to be challenged by the many practical issues that a relationship poses, especially if there are children. However, the feeling and deep connection need to be preserved in some way for a union to make sense. If they are completely exhausted, undermined, corrupted, the essence of the couple, of man and woman (or, in the case of homosexuals, of two individualities that unite) is lost, leaving only the contract, the partnership, as if it were a society. At some point, one of the two may miss this meeting that takes place beyond the partnership. There should not only be father and mother, husband and wife, but José and Ana, those who effectively started the relationship.

Scorpio represents, precisely, the challenge of deepening the relationship and maintaining the magic. At times this may feel like balancing an egg on a spoon, but at others it becomes more fluid and easier. Formulas do not exist, but it is essential that there is a mutual willingness and willingness to meet again and to exercise the relationship beyond everyday obligations, especially in sex, a Scorpio theme par excellence.

Sexuality

More couples than you might think face problems in this area, ranging from lack of or low desire to excess and other incompatibilities and mismatches. It will be time to try to resolve this. Everything related to sex will tend to arouse a lot of curiosity and will be the subject of discussion during this transit.

Perhaps for this reason, at the end of Saturn’s passage through Libra, the Fifty shades of gray series broke out, which many people define as a “warmer Twilight”. Twilight is to Saturn in Libra, with its high voltage of romanticism, just as Fifty Shades of Gray is to Saturn in Scorpio, with its themes of sex, power, passion and sadomasochism.

How will love be with Saturn in Scorpio?

Astrological influences for love are diverse, due to the transits of other planets and the arrangements they will make with each other. Uranus in Aries (2011-2018), which shares with Scorpio the ruler Mars, planet of sexuality, can increase the flow of energy (including sexual energy), the sense of individuality and interest in personal projects, especially the new ones, which represent a challenge (e.g. going on a special trip, making a big professional change). Strengthening one’s individuality and giving gas and enthusiasm to carry out projects is great, but some people can overdo it. They can be very individualistic, focused on their pleasures and with no intention of making room for anyone – be it a possible boyfriend, spouse, friends or children. The classic case of “I just want to think about myself”. In short, a low availability to pay attention to the other and to build a relationship.

However, this may not be clear (since people can disguise their defects and absences) or the subject described above may attract an obsessive type (one of the possible manifestations of Saturn in Scorpio), who wants to unite with him and transform him in who he desires. This partner can openly take this position or act behind the scenes. For example, an apparent accidental pregnancy is a very old way of trying to force a union.

The differences between Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Scorpio can also appear in the form of relationships in which there is great difficulty in understanding, defining and negotiating the limits of freedom. Possession and jealousy, as well as depth-seeking, are possible with Saturn in Scorpio. The ideal would be to try to build intimacy (Saturn in Scorpio) while maintaining each other’s space (Uranus in Aries).

If these two planets are combined into one thing, they can also generate relationships with great freedom and practicality, and raw sex, without affection. But nothing guarantees that things cannot change later on, with one of the two falling in love and having to make a transition to another type of relationship – which may be easy, difficult or impossible.

On the other hand, in 2012, Neptune entered Pisces, which represents a strong yearning for the fusion of souls, romanticism and delicacy. Saturn in Scorpio will fall between the two tendencies, that of Uranus in Aries (preservation of individuality and freedom) and that of Neptune in Pisces (romanticism and fusion).

A good image for this confusion of desires could be that of a courtesan who exercises her sexuality freely and without guilt (Uranus in Aries), but who falls in love with a man who, because he is also in love, starts to have a relationship more possession with her…
