Saturn in Virgo
Saturn represents your responsible side, your limits and what you build through effort. In Virgo, it expresses itself with an eye for detail and a practical streak.
Saturn is in Virgo — a sign of mutable earth ruled by Mercury — with no dignity of his own: peregrine, a guest of the messenger in a methodical, dry land that is, however, akin to him. The cold of the old man weds well with the analytic rigour of the sign, and his gravity finds here a trade: painstaking work, the rule, the discipline that perfects slowly. It inclines to an exact and laborious mind, turned to detail, method, and duty well done, with a tendency to severe criticism and to worry. It gives a talent for the trades that ask patience and precision, and a seriousness that is not content with the approximate. Peregrine, Saturn here does not weigh of himself: his minuteness becomes mastery when the chart helps him, and anxiety or pettiness when it afflicts him.
