When we talk of OCD, obsessive compulsive kind of behavior, let me all have the next
20 minutes say, but when you speak of it from a planetary point of view, in this particular
video we are talking about Saturn and Saturn is retrograde in your natal chart.
What are the significant points it could signify?
It will affect everyone in whichever house Saturn is placed in, although in this one
I am going to be dealing with some case study with regard to three charts and how it might
affect them and it is most dominant with the certain lord of the ascendant when it goes
in any one of the houses and how that obsessive compulsive behavior plays out.
And there are certain principles, let's go through that, let's get into it.
So in principle what does retrograde planet mean?
It is seemingly going backwards from the orbit of the earth.
It appears in the sky as if the planet is going backwards from the path of the earth's
orbit.
Earth is going like this, planet seems to be kind of going slow because of the orbital
speeds and difference in the orbit radius from the sun and so on and so forth.
But how does it play up in our chart?
Let's see point number one.
What does OCD behavior mean?
It's almost as if the soul is trying to overcompensate the shortfall in the planet's strength
in your chart.
So let's say Saturn is going retrograde in this one we are talking about Saturn.
It means essentially that the soul is trying to compensate for the lack of Saturn's strength.
Saturn needs to be strong.
It is work.
It is karma.
So OCD as per astrology seems to be a way of overcompensating that shortfall in the
planet's strength availability to the individual which shows up as OCD which shows up as excessive
egoistic attachment or focus in that area of life.
That's number one.
Number two, Saturn retrograde has impacts anywhere placed in the chart with respect
to the house and ninth place from itself meaning wherever Saturn is placed in your chart the
ninth position from itself and we should do this now in the case study.
However, I'm focusing on the last one.
The most dominance will be felt when as Saturn as the Lord of Ascendant different planets
we should take that also different ascendants when the Lord of the ascendant is Saturn which
is Capricorn in Aquarius respectively and placed retrograde in any one of the houses
in the natal chart.
Remember we are talking about natal chart only.
You can carry the same principle to Navamsa, Dashamsa everywhere else because one Saturn
is retrograde to be retrograde in our divisional charts as well.
So let's see what impact that has.
So let's take the case study of Ms. J.
This is a natal chart.
Ascendant is in Sramana Nakshtra for her and Saturn is retrograde sitting in the third
house for her which is in the house of Jupiter which is sitting in the sign of Jupiter but
actually in the sign of Mercury from the Kal Purushalagna perspective.
So what does Saturn retrograde in the third house mean hang on a minute.
Yeah I was just checking the video.
So what does it mean?
Saturn as the Lord of Ascendant when it becomes OCD because now it's retrograde.
So what is the style of OCD?
Very controlled very measured in communication style.
Why?
Because it's the third house of communication.
More handsy but also general communication.
Extremely cautious with the words possibly to the point of overthinking, over obsessing
over what they say.
I mean saying it properly this is grammatically correct.
Are these the proper words to use in this context?
So on you know obsessing over it.
Very structured thinking Saturn is about structure and order.
Structured methodical thinking they may struggle with the tendency to over analyze details.
Very Saturnian but now Saturn is amplified in the individual.
The rigidity in learning Saturn is very rigid.
Insist on adhering to traditional educational methods because third house is also for early
education and have a difficulty in adapting to new unconventional approaches to learning.
It also gives a strong work ethic.
Deligent in their studies writing or communication related work.
So that very structured methodical orderly over orderly like nitpicking resistance to
change cautious about new technologies or trends preferring to stick to familiar and
established.
These are the kind of people who would be old school.
I would rather take a hard copy book rather than read on Kindle.
For example, siblings and neighbors third house is also for that considering the aspects
of the third house and Saturn retrograde there as a lot of ascendant.
Okay.
Sense of responsibility and possibly an overly serious and protective attitude towards neighbors,
friends, younger siblings.
They can also go on very well controlled short journeys for women.
Third house is the house of short journeys opposite house.
Ninth house is the house of long journeys.
Meticulously planned and controlled short trips to where you need to go for the strip
is necessary.
Everything Saturn questions is on a necessity basis and now because it's retrograde even
more.
They might have excellent writing skills because they have precision of Saturn and attention
to detail Saturnian attention to detail.
That's a lot of the ascendant.
They may produce well structured, thought out, well thought out, error free content
of writing perfectionism strong desire for perfection in third house matters, whether
it is communication daily routines, third house or interaction with siblings and neighbors.
Third house is your immediate surroundings, younger siblings, neighbors where you live.
Challenges in adaptation, challenging for the person to adapt to new information technology,
communication tools.
We kind of already covered this.
Right.
Now let's examine the ninth aspect and how it affects their ninth aspect of house.
Saturn sitting in third house falls in the 11th house.
Three and 11 you want to straight away think three is the immediate neighbors.
11 is social networks, a public platform, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and so on.
It's a larger community.
How does this affect their let's see the 11th aspect 11th position from Saturn becomes
the 11th house in her case.
J so structured social networks, social networks also become very methodical.
Do I need to join this group?
Let's say on Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups, wherever they are participating, there are
so many platforms now organized and selective in choosing their friends.
Largest social network is 11th house immediate social network is the third house.
Please remember this selective in choosing their friends and prefer long lasting.
Connections reliable connections.
Saturn wants to see check everything out in this case because retrograde it's even more
so long term goals and ambitions a sense of duty and discipline to pursue all this goals
set clear objectives and work steadily towards them.
Look at the graduation of this.
Everything thinks Saturn Saturn Saturn Saturn how does Saturn think conservative beliefs
and values with their social circles because 11th house is larger social circles not immediate.
They may gravitate towards groups that share traditional or established philosophies or
worldviews.
Right.
Commitment in group activities satan is very committed.
So it might become overly committed taking on the group energy as their own sense of commitment
and responsibility in group activities and causes may take on leadership roles and work
diligently towards the betterment of a particular organization or a social cause.
Now I have a taken only Lord of the Ascendant Aquarius in Capricorn.
For example, why?
Because the Lord of the Ascendant one of the most crucial things to evaluate in a natal
chart period.
That's where your head is going most of the time.
That's where your subconscious mind in your head is drawn towards the Lord of the Ascendant
and the Saturn which is this case or even if it is other planets which we shall see in
the upcoming month.
Selective in friendships Saturn will minimize things right.
So it'll have fewer friends more enduring and reliable friendships discerning in choosing
their friends.
They may prefer quality over quantity, structured networking, networking within professional
or social context may be highly structured and goal oriented.
Is this going to give me something what I need for my purposes?
Is this group feeding me something which is practical?
Very practical.
Balancing and freedom and commitment.
They need to combine personal growth with the service for a greater cause.
Like I said it's sitting in third house Saturn wants skills for itself let's say.
Right because the Lord of the Ascendant Capricorn Ascendant it is sitting in the third meaning
I want skills for myself and I'm going to participate in this group or in this Facebook
group or in this social media thinking how does it affect my skills.
You want that feedback and Saturn here becomes OCD about that.
Active philanthropy.
Mix of words.
Structured discipline approach towards charitable or philanthropic efforts.
11th house is the house of philanthropic efforts.
It's more of a group energy, a collective energy.
11th and 12th book.
Emphasis on long distance travel.
11th house aspect.
11th and 9th are long distance travels.
Their purposeful approach to travels with a focus on planned and goal oriented journeys.
Once again Saturnian thing comes into play as in I want to do something go on a long
journey but it has to be fruitful to me.
Wow.
Now let's just tie quickly this into the nakshatra aspect because as in it nakshatra is also
crucial as I have said many everywhere.
Many many videos.
It is in Shauna because we are talking about a lot of the Ascendant.
Let us see how this plays out for her.
What is Shauna nakshatra?
Just a quick revisit here of what is Shauna nakshatra.
There.
So the life lesson of Shauna nakshatra is inquisitiveness of goal is required to find
the path not aimless wandering.
Aimless wandering is not going to help you.
So what is Saturn trying to do here?
One of the things it wants to cultivate skill in a controlled way all that we saw in the
last side all the Saturnian implications if you will it needs to keep that in mind.
She needs to keep that in mind.
What is my goal here?
Right.
It will become amplified because of this Saturn placement.
Let us see another case study.
Let's take the case study of Miss C.
Saturn ascended in the jinn Uttarashada within Capricorn.
And Saturn for her is placed in the 8th house house of secrets.
In the 8th house it is an enemy sign of Leo.
But never mind it is retrograde we are just talking of one aspect retrograde Saturn.
9th place of this Saturn happens to be get to the 4th house home homeland family heart
emotional matters.
Let's see how this plays out for her Saturn retrograde in the 8th house first intense
self examination it intensifies that self examination which is a transformation house
the 8th house.
The deep need for self examination and introspection constantly analyzing their own thoughts feelings
behaviors seeking to gain control over their inner world 8th house is an uncontrollable
house by default for any sign any ascendant it is a house of transformation and change
but Saturn wants control over things so Saturn being retrograde it becomes over obsessive
about controlling every single aspect of their life see how this plays out.
Fear of control fear of the unknown and strong desire for control over life's uncertainties
this may lead to over controlling tendencies trying to control every single aspect and
because it's aspect of the 4th house the 9th place from Saturn we shall see that later
it becomes more in the house obsessive need for order and structure and all aspects of
life daily routines and insisting on following specific procedures obsessive attention to
detail all Saturn in aspects just simply simplify this just take all aspects of Saturn aspects
of the house 9th position from Saturn and that aspect following there is that simple
we are just analyzing the case study.
Financial control because 8th house is the house of what joint assets 2nd house is the
house of your assets opposite is what is gained from others 2nd house is what you gain for
yourself with your effort and because there is that financial aspect cautious and conservative
to financial matters with a strong emphasis on savings Saturn wants to save it's a very
flugel planet investments in financial security must be secure deeply buried emotions challenging
for the individual to express emotions openly Saturn is a dry planet it is not emotional
state as a challenge 8th house is a house of emotions also deep feelings so they keep
it under control under wraps overcoming fear of change focused control and structure because
they are trying to manage a deep seated fear of change and transformation striving for
perfection too much of perfectionism right now that is Saturn sitting right row in the
8th house now let's examine the 9th aspect of it which falls on the 4th house of home
and family now the 9th aspect of Saturn which it brings from the red row Saturn in 8th
house it will give difficulty in emotional control expressing emotions openly even within
family strong need to control and regulate their emotions they are very reserved kind
of people at home front need for structured home environment becoming OCD about everything
at home need to establish structure and orderly home environment meticulous about maintaining
living space and have a preference for well organized very organized Saturn is very organized
poor emphasis on family responsibilities family comes first everything else comes later kind
of excessive sense of responsibility towards family members strong obligation to take care
of family matters to the point of being controlling and excessively obsessive you see this obsessive
OCD factor here family secrets and privacy they strive to maintain a high level of privacy
within family units why are we talking about secrets here 8th house 8th house is the house
of buried secrets where Saturn is sitting resistance to change at home Saturn resistance
change Saturn suppresses change and change why once again Saturn in the 8th house bringing
it to the 4th house they prefer a stable predictable family life emotional resilience a sense of
emotional resilience within the individual strong ability to withstand emotional crisis
maintain a steady demeanor in the face of adversity now her ascendant is in Uttarasha
that's a worthwhile examining what Uttarasha brings to her there you go what is the life
lesson of Uttarasha the individual wisdom merging with collective cause is the ultimate
victory so in this particular case how does it affect her because she is trying to do
something else she is trying to maintain a controlled evil aspect how will she learn
this life lesson because life lesson is all that we are here to learn she will want to
examine why she is being OCD about not revealing some things separation removing separation
remember that's the life lesson of Uttarasha that she has to learn this she has to learn
to let go of this OCD behavior within family and within all aspects thereof that's what
she has to do eventually now let's see another case study now let's consider the case study
of miss s her Saturn is retrograde placed in the 9th house and once again we are considering
as the lord of the ascendant lord of the ascendant is a very crucial in natal chart
wherever it's placed and if it's retrograde you can watch for these this will become a
dominant theme in your life as an individual so what happens to her let's see Saturn in
the 9th house has the lord of the ascendant conservative beliefs cautious approach to matters
of religion philosophy higher knowledge higher education drawn to traditional or well established
belief systems may resist radical or innovative ideas why this is the 9th house aspect higher
learning knowledge wisdom is the house of guru house of Jupiter structured approach
to spirituality once again we bring the structure and order aspects of Saturn which it loves
but now it is an OCD factor it's obsessive compulsive disorder structure discipline to
spirituality and religious practices strong work ethic I have to pause my PC is going
on over OCD in here hang on a minute over emphasis on authority figures 9th house is
a house of guru that is authority figure it may be even your teacher in this case might
look to spiritual leaders and gurus for answers and may adhere to their teachings with great
dedication Saturn is dedicated right resistance to new ideas may struggle with adapting to
alternative belief system a lot of struggle I've seen her with this balancing freedom
and responsibility Saturn here will seek to strive combine personal growth with structured
approach to self-improvement and this first and this next and this next and I want to
make a list of these things in personal growth Saturn in ninth fear of travel or change ninth
house is the house of travels so it will create a fear of unfamiliar environments and she
is shit scared to travel she's never traveled stepped out of the house Saturn here will
bring that OCD effect to that over analyzing beliefs am I thinking right thing am I thinking
wrong thing is this the right spiritual aspect is that the right spiritual aspect oh this
is so much of her let's see the ninth aspect ninth place from Saturn now it becomes the
fifth house ninth from the ninth is fifth Saturn in the ninth aspect from the OCD structured
creativity like a suppressed creativity I would say approach to artistic endeavors she
has artistic approaches Danish star akshattra which we shall see now the next is creative
but Saturn impacting and this like I don't I'm not sure if I'm doing this thing correctly
art music creativity cautious approach to romance oh yes she's very cautious might take
that I'm getting to move potential romantic partners fifth house is the house of romance
and creativity and education basic education responsible parenthood strong sense of responsibility
in parenting fifth house is the house of children therefore parenting long term relationships
may seek partners with whom they can build stable and enduring romantic connections I
have seen her go through relationships where the fellow is not even reliable one bit but
she will continue to endure because the Saturn makes it OCD about long term stuff long term
partnerships she's wants to see something there which isn't having fun becomes melancholic
Saturn is a very melancholic kind of a guy sadness inherent grief so romance becomes
a melancholic affair like I don't want to do this I don't want to be romantic candle
lights and dinners something superficial about that Saturn tends to make things superficial
structured education for children even comes over obsessive about children's education
is kids have to study this this way may prioritize formal education and academia peer of creativity
Saturn also creates this unnamed fears in us may feel anxious about expressing themselves
to art writing or other creative outlets balancing self expression with responsibility they need
to find ways to express their creativity and enjoy the fun part of life this is very important
especially if you consider ascendant nakshatra is done ish tough which less life lesson is
find the right kind of resources to make true wealth beauty wealth material that's a challenge
she needs to find the right kind of materials materials in this case being anything creativity
musical instruments than ishana kshatra is about music dance arts drama so how does this
help her life lesson well she needs to be conservative satan gives a good ability to
find it of course it depends upon the path which I have not considered in her case we
just do the general aspects here so I want to wrap this up with a basic knowing and thinking
here ok satan will give you a retro Saturn in your native chart will give you this OCD
kind of aspects take the aspects of Saturn like we have studied and take it to the house
matters and take the ninth place from itself where it will show up most commonly next we
shall consider another case studies for retro planets as lot of assignments thank you for
watching take care and be awesome.
