What does it mean for a child's relationship with her father if she has a Saturn!
Question:
What does it mean for a child's relationship with her father if she has a Saturn in Pisces?
Answers:
Even though Saturn is one of the planets related to the father, I find that the condition of the Sun and 5th house provide a more accurate indication of one's relationship with the father. You should consider the following-
-the Sun's sign placement
-the Sun's house placement
-major aspects made to the Sun (conjunctions, squares, oppositions, quincunxes)
-planets placed in the 5th house
-the sign on the cusp of the 5th house
Generally speaking, a well placed and aspected Sun or benefic luminaries/planets (eg Sun, Venus or Jupiter) placed in the 5th house denote a positive relationship with the father.
More specifically-
The influence of the Moon/Cancer/4th house would indicate a tender, sensitive, caring father, perhaps a father who takes on the role of both parents.
The influence of Mercury/Gemini/3rd house or Virgo/6th house would suggest a highly educated father, perhaps a teacher who is very much involved in the education of their children.
The influence of Venus/Libra/7th house or Taurus/2nd house denotes a gentle, affectionate, cultured father and a loving parent/child relationship.
The influence of Mars/Aries/1st house at best indicates an active, sporty, energetic, youthful father. At worst, it indicates conflict between father and child.
The influence of Jupiter/Sagittarius/9th house denotes a warm, jovial, cheerful father, the kind of father who dresses up as Santa Claus at Christmas and gives out gifts to all the neighbourhood children.
The influence of Saturn/Capricorn/10th house indicates a rather stern, traditional father who values discipline and obedience in his children. It suggests the kind of father who demands that their children perform daily chores around the house and earn their pocket money to teach them the value of hard work, the type of father children only learn to value as an adult.
The influence of Uranus/Aquarius/11th house indicates a friendly, unique, scientifically minded father or an unusual relationship with the father, perhaps a father who is seen more as a friend than a parent.
The influence of Neptune/Pisces/12th house can indicate a sensitive, idealistic father and the tendency of the child to idealise the father.
The influence of Pluto/Scorpio/8th house may indicate a powerful, dominating father or power issues in the father/child relationship.
More often than not, the condition of the Sun/5th house also in some way identifies the father's Sun sign or house. For instance, the child of a Virgo father may have Mercury (Virgo's planetary ruler) in the 5th house or in conjunction with the Sun. Alternatively, the child's Sun may be placed in the 6th house of Virgo or even in the sign of Virgo as well.
.................................
As I mentioned earlier, in astrology, both the Sun/5th house and Saturn/10th house relate to the father, since both the Sun and Saturn are viewed as symbolising male authority figures. The Sun symbolises the father and creator, since the Sun is the central life-giving force of our solar system. Saturn's connection to the father stems from its relation to the issues of power, authority and patriarchal tradition. Astrologers focus on either or both when assessing an individual's relationship to their father.
