Saturn in 1st house and the personality
The Ascendant is the point of incarnation and if a planet is located close to it the person is basically the incarnation of that planet. People with Saturn in 1st house aka Ascendant are the incarnation of Saturn.
They carry all the fundamental charter traits of Saturn. Such as appearing cold and aloof, and being a goal-oriented and hardworking person. They might seem as if they had a “stone” wall around them, or they just need more space around them.
Constant restriction and deprivation of some sort always play a major role in their life. They might put a restriction on something intentionally or life âforcesâ them to do it. Such as restriction on their diet, or they are deprived of fun times and pleasures.
As they are willing to make consistent efforts towards their goals, they do achieve them. Also, their serious and cautious approach helps them to succeed. They climb the ladder step by step, patiently without cutting corners, without cheating the system or taking shortcuts.
And once they succeed- it might be delayed until Saturn matures– only they know how much they have worked for it, how much effort, restriction, and deprivation they had made. Perseverance and patience are also part of their main character.
Their work ethic is outstanding, as well as their level of maturity even at a young age.
Saturn in 1st house and karma
One of the main domains of Saturn is karma. On a side note, labeling anything good or bad karma doesnât always make sense. Sometimes delays and obstacles are a blessing in disguise. However, Saturn is Saturn and it does deliver some difficulties into whatever it touches.
It gives different results in different signs. For example, in Libra -in exaltation, sign-it gives much better results than in water signs, where it is in fall or debilitated.
Sometimes the results seem bitter-sweet because they might be delayed or the natives know how much effort, restriction, and deprivation they had to make in order to achieve outstanding success, financial state or to have a relationship. And those subjects of life might be given to others, but for them, nothing really falls on their lap without effort.
Though, once they achieve something, once they succeed Saturn gives longevity and they can keep and maintain their achievements and success.
Instant karma
Their modus operandi should be to always follow the rules and regulations and to refuse to take shortcuts or cheat the system.
In case they do it, they get punished for that immediately while others could get away with such a thing. And they learn this at a young age. Again, respecting law and order and authorities are key for them.
Before Saturn matures
The planet of karma matures at the age of 36, but these people’s life gets gradually easier after the first Saturn return- age 28-29.
Before Saturn matures, they experience the harsh side of Saturn.
As a child, they have to work or have to take certain responsibilities. It could be taking care of a sibling, a parent, or another type of responsibility.
When they are children they not only have more responsibilities but have more difficulties than others and cannot be as carefree as their peers. They might born into poverty or were isolated and lonely. Anyway, there is something in their lives that make them grow up faster, and to be disciplined.
As the Ascendant talks about the path of life, Saturn in the 1st house make the first half, or the first part of their lives more challenging until Saturn matures. Even if Saturn is in an air or earth sign, where it is strong, it is still the planet of karma.
Late Bloomers
Unless other planetary placements overpower the effects of Saturn in 1st house they catch up with others a bit later in life, after Saturn matures.
As Saturn aspects the 7th house from the 1st house, the marriage might be delayed or the first one is karmic.
The worldly success might be delayed too, as Saturn aspects the 10th sign from itself. From the 1st house it aspects the 10th house, the house of career and worldly achievements. Or it could delay the fulfillment of those houses that are associated with the Aquarius and Capricorn Zodiac Signs. For example Virgo Ascendant with Saturn in 1st house might delay children as it rules Capricorn, which is the 5th sign -children- from Virgo.
They are the epitome of working hard and it pays off later, and to take consistent moderate effort.
And their lives gradually get easier, face lets challenges and obstacles after the first Saturn return but when it matures significant shifts happen. They gradually feel better about themselves and feel better in their own skin. And the older they are the more they enjoy life and the more they can shine.
Also, they have the ability to become leaders- a strict and demanding one- or an authority. If not a leader of a big organization then a leader of a team at work. But they achieve a leadership or authority position of some sort.
Planet Saturn has a ring of ice-cold stones around it, which rotates around the planet and makes it unapproachable. These people are the same, they might build walls around themselves or isolate themselves however with age they learn to open up to others.
Bonus tips for Saturn
- Making consistent moderate effort.
- Introducing restation and deprivation of some sort.
- Not wasting time, energy, and resources.
- Doing only what is useful in the long run.
