Saturn in the First House of the Relocation Chart

The only way to glimpse the future before a planned move is to study the relocation chart. When a person changes their place of residence, the planets also shift into different Houses. However, the relocation chart should never be considered separately from the natal chart; the natal chart will always be primary for forecasting. Still, you can see exactly where the lines of manifestation will move—especially since there are planets capable of bringing very intense negative changes, and it’s best to know about them in advance.

Of course, the main limiter and strict teacher is Saturn. Wherever it is placed, one will have to learn humility and asceticism. However, the relocation chart also shows in which specific spheres this will happen in the new place, so you can prepare and soften the karmic lessons. Saturn in the First House will affect the physical body and the native’s personality—but there is no need to be immediately alarmed. If there are no negative aspects, it’s possible that the test of strength will be passed with dignity, and the native will finally set healthy boundaries for themselves, freeing themselves from excessive isolation, or, conversely, will stop being a servant to others.

Features of Saturn’s Transition to the First House in the Relocation Chart

A lot of frightening things are often written about Saturn, attributing to it a destructive influence on the sphere of the House it occupies in the natal chart or the House it moves into during relocation, while forgetting about its positive effects. These are more pronounced if there are positive aspects, but even oppositions and squares can be channeled productively if you plan your behavior in advance.

Traditionally, Saturn in the First House of the relocation chart compels the native to restrict themselves in resources, diet, and spending. The person begins to think seriously about the future and to see the present more realistically. You could say that the rose-colored glasses come off, and the world appears in its true proportions.

Of course, many experience the collapse of illusions painfully, while others, on the contrary, energetically switch to practical work to change their reality. It is precisely this attitude toward Saturn that explains why for one person it brings benefit, and for another—depression.

Much also depends on which House Saturn moves from in the natal chart into the First sector of the relocation chart. Since only the House system shifts—sometimes clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise—most often the planet of karma moves from the neighboring Eleventh, Twelfth, Second, or Third Houses, although other options are possible.

When moving from the Eleventh House, the native will face challenges in trying to fit into a group from day one. They may feel out of place in large companies, yet circumstances will force them into the spotlight. Here, only their willpower will determine how well they adapt: whether they accept the rules of the game and become part of the group, or choose the role of a loner—and, with negative aspects, even an outcast.

A similar state is experienced by those with natal Saturn in the Twelfth House. This is initially a sign of solitude and karmic working through, and when the planet moves into the First House, the native becomes irritated by others invading their solitude. On the other hand, now it is up to them to choose whether to remain alone or to purposefully seek out communication.

The transition of Saturn from the Second House of the natal chart to the First sector of the relocation chart prompts the native to economize, go on diets, and choose a strict, formal style of clothing. This happens subtly but steadily. The person restricts their own physical needs, for example, not buying tasty food but instead saving for long-term projects.

Movement from the Third House of the natal chart leads to voluntary and deliberate restriction of one’s social circle to only the most loyal and devoted friends. The native now sets boundaries themselves and does not tolerate gossip in their presence; they may avoid office parties they do not find interesting and keep a formal distance from neighbors.

Saturn in the First House of the Relocation Chart and Appearance

Saturn is a slow-moving planet, so you should not expect instant changes in appearance, but about a year later the native may notice significant weight loss. This will certainly please those who are overweight, but for those who are naturally thin, unfortunately, it may result in feeling exhausted and dried out. Saturn in the First House of the relocation chart promotes slenderness, but can lead to emaciation in those already thin.

Young people start to look older and more serious than their age, their movements become more angular and abrupt, and their mannerisms change: the person becomes more stern, taciturn, and laughs less.

By being aware of Saturn’s influence in advance, it is easy to shed the mask of a gloomy melancholic by intentionally spending time in cheerful company and watching comedies more often. Under the planet’s effect, joint flexibility gradually decreases. This too can be compensated for through regular yoga or dance practice.

Negative Influence of Saturn in the First House

In the case of an afflicted Saturn, the saying “let sleeping dogs lie” is very appropriate. If Saturn moves into the First House, the native may gradually transform from slender and youthful into someone old and emaciated, always appearing older than their years. However, this is a slow process, so if the relocation is temporary, it is quite possible to spend some time in this place, but a prolonged stay will trigger chronic illnesses related to the Houses from which the afflicted aspects are coming. The person will also feel forgotten, lost, and undervalued, and will find it difficult to allow themselves any benefits or pleasures.  ✓
