Notes On Saturn Transits Your 3rd House

When Saturn transits your third house, you can expect to grapple with and sort, all Mercury-ruled things in your life.  Thinking, Talking, Writing.. .well, all mental processes.  Also mobility. Safe, responsible (Saturn) driving. Perhaps a commitment to walking for health. Neighbors and siblings also come to front.

This transit has just begun for me.  I’ve sensitive to Saturn and already up to my neck in cement, in some areas.  That’s not a complaint, I think it’s funny.  I’m Saturnian and Mercurial so this is an particularly important transit for me.

This transit has kicked off with my taking on a writing project, Shack Man – A True Story.  It’s very hard for me to write. I was afraid to write it for a number of reasons.  I decided to start this transit on the right foot, and just plod through my blocks.  I can tell you for sure, I already know  it was the “right thing to do”.

I say that because I had to face number of fears and other issues to get going. First, it’s big project that requires a commitment. I have worked on this story but never finished, for a variety of different reasons, at different times. The reasons can be summed up to  say, I encountered a lot of resistance.  Resistance is a Saturn thing. I will push through it, this time.

I also lost a good chunk of this story which mean I had to recreate it. You imagine how that pissed me off. I set aside my whiny self-pity and got to work.

I was also afraid I would not be able to write the dialogue.  I haven’t written dialogue to this scale in many years?  What I fail?

I got a slow start but I pushed hard and broke through. I broke through profoundly. The dialogue of my life is now, easily accessible.  The next job was to sort what conversation should be featured and which set aside.  This is another Saturn / 3rd house job. Editing, basically. But inside my head!

Further, with Saturn in Pisces, the blocks dissolved and I was flooded with recalled dialogue. It occurred to me, it’s possible I can recall any and all important conversations, I’ve ever had in my entire life.  If this is the case, surely there is a reason! I’m thinking about  this.

So I’m working through this story and the work on the other side of this story is showing itself, but not all of it is mundane.  I’m considering where thoughts actually come from… the brain or the body, is there an energy field?

I can’t speak for others, but my mind wants to expand.  Mars conjunct Mercury in the 9th.  Most content these days is low quality, in my opinion.  How can I grab ideas or information from a higher place? Is there a higher place?  Or a more “out there” place? I think there is. I will to try to reach it. Or… is it down deep inside of me?

The fact I work on the phone is another place this transit will show itself. Hard conversations?  That’s a no brainer.

I wonder if I will write less, say less, or if it will be the exact opposite.  I feel pressure to write and to speak?

My favorite thing so far, is the mental boundaries, I’ve been able to put in place.  I don’t like garbage food and I don’t like trash content either.  I have to block stuff like that, the better my odds of reaching, whatever higher ground there may be.  This was the first action I took. I don’t want my head full of cotton.

The picture is of my mother, from the 1940’s. The gift bag says, “Food for the soul”.  She was a double Aquarian, interesting and ahead of her time. I don’t think I’ve ever written more than a few sentences of her dialogue. Maybe I’ll crack that nut next.

There’s another possibility. I may collaborate with, Satori (equivalent to a sibling), on a long-term writing project. Like, it may take us years?  We’re in serious (Saturn) talks (3rd house) about this potential.

Last, someone suggested I write my whole life. I may take this on as well. Just sit here and write the crack, all day, every day. If I feel this is what I am supposed to do, I will do it.

I’ll wrap this up to say, I don’t think how I work this transit is up to me.  Saturn in Pisces aside, I do have a strong Saturn Neptune signature. If I know I’m supposed to do something, I will do the thing at any and all costs.  This commitment is focused on the 3rd house at this time.  I don’t find it pleasant, but I do think it’s important.

Is Saturn transiting your 3rd house? What’s happening?
