Saturn & relationships -- help?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

I have a friend who is entering the seventh year of his relationship with his partner and all hell is breaking loose. I immediately thought of the Saturn cycle (7 year itch) and wanted to share the information with him.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find good writings on the subject? I googled but was unenthusiastic about what I was finding.

Many thanks!

1. Liz Green's books, both on Relating, and Saturn are good for this.

The Liz Green book is a classic truly.

3. upon further consideration. . .

Saturn transiting personal planets and its more challenging angles were always traditionally written about as "break up" or "divorce" aspects.

Through years of observation and experience, I more often describe these transits as compatibility tests. In circumstances of incompatability, yup the union generally dissolves. Though in circumstances of compatibility the relationships deepens and is strengthened.

Basically Saturn always brings opportunities for reassessment/re-evaluation. It poses the question. . ."Do you really feel like committing yourself to this relationship for another 7 (or in the case of the conjunction 28-9) years ?"

LOL Back in the early 90's I remember hearing of a bunch of divorce lawyers in CA who thought they were creating a lot of wicked karma for themselves by virtue, or lack thereof, of their chosen profession. So they set up a service of giving couples the opportunity to make lists of what is working and what is not. They'd tweek peoples' marriage contracts on an annual basis for big bucks.

". . .Love, honor, and cherish. . ." doesn't exactly precisely cover who takes out the trash, parks in the wrong place, doesn't put the toothpaste cap back on, spends to much time online, etc. which is the kind of petty stuff that can drive people nuts.

In light of the Saturn cycle this sort of evaluation is probably appropriate every 7 years but people don't really need pricey lawyers for it.

4. Saturn, Lord of Karma, love relationships

Saturn is the key to inhibitions, doubts and fears. It points out karmic burdens and responsibilities. Shows where it is necessary to over come limitations and transcend boundaries. Saturn will shed light on the lessons the soul must master in life, and will allow wisdom for those lessons.

Sign and house placement gives the specifics as do interaspects.

5. Thanks for the suggests and thoughts!

:hi:

I realized it isn't only my friend going through this, but also my nephew -- and yes, the troubles are primarily due to "compatability" issues.

Having never lasted 7 years in a romantic relationshiop, I can only imagine how hard it must be to find what has worked for you in the past may not work anymore.

But, there is always the potential/opportunity for major growth and a new way of being coming from it.
