"Coming into your own in terms of worldly achievement, making your mark, or seeing the tangible results of your long-term choices is the theme of this time. You could come into a position of greater responsibility and power, taking on the mantle of authority in some area where you have worked long and hard. In any case, it is a culmination and a harvesting time. The success you garner now has been earned. If you have mismanaged your life in some respects, or not been honest and ethical in your dealings, this will be reflected in a very obvious way now. You are reaping what you've sown. Often there is a combination of the two sides: you see where you have been solid and on the mark, and where you have disappointed yourself or failed to meet your goals. There is a general feeling of seriousness, heaviness, or conscientiousness at this time. It's not a period to relax your efforts or rest on your laurels, either. Whether tangible success is yours now or not, there is still pressure and the weight of responsibility on your shoulders.

Positive Potentials:

Discipline, commitment, productive and serious work, solid achievement. Pinnacle and fulfillment of long-range goals. Coming to terms with one's limitations and realistically assessing one's strengths. Being rewarded with the fruits of a long-term endeavor.

Negative Potentials:

Regrets, losses, a sense of failure, or a discouraging comedown (especially if your "rise" has been at the expense of others).

Remedies and Suggestions:

Even if you're experiencing the gratifying fulfillment and recognition for your work that could come at this time, you may have to sacrifice something to accept it - perhaps some personal privacy or time, a friendly camaraderie with the people you are now in charge of, or freedom of self-expression (i.e. you have to look, dress, or present yourself differently). It's time in some way to fully mature and play the role you were meant to play.

"Worrying about professional goals will motivate you to work hard in order to realize them. Others notice your serious attitude and your patience but you are appreciated most of all for your reliability. There may be a promotion or a raise in store for you, although the fruit of Saturn's works often can’t be harvested until later. In any case you know what you want and are willing to accept restrictions.
On the other hand Saturn doesn’t tolerate sloppiness, so that you will have to be prepared for professional problems if you haven’t been working carefully and correctly in the past. Maybe you feel overworked or suffer from a lack of time for your private life. In any case you will have to consider decisions concerning your career carefully. "

"A time of increased responsibility and paying attention to your duties has arrived. Your ambition for status and security will be high and fame and recognition can come for work done both positive and negative.
New starts in your career can take place now and as an indicator, president Nixon fell from mercy with this very aspect.
Avoid taking the shortcut in anything that you do. "

When Saturn was transiting in Aries, on my MC, it was a hard time for my father. I was at odds with him. I had just started dating my husband and was intent on marrying him. To say this upset my father would be a drastic understatement.
