Saturn in the 3rd house - Words from the Wise
“In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.” - Isaac Marion
Saturn in the 3rd house people have a document in the mind outlining ‘everything that could go wrong’. The individual is a mature, serious, and refined thinker with the incredible ability to tap into the wisdom of the spirit. She typically places a lot of pressure on himself to succeed academically, and constantly second guesses her intelligence and mental abilities. The individual can focus obsessively on subjects for hours, and has an incredible concentration. Mental experiences can be intense, and fanatic tendencies can arise. There tends to be a fear of communicating with people, and a sensed blockage when it comes to accessing the poetry in the mind. Despite her gentle and thoughtful expression, the individual can become so caught up in her self conscious fears she struggles to release her words. Once she finds her mental niche, her brilliant mind is unmatched in expertise.
The individual with Saturn in the 3rd can struggle with mainstream academic education. Linguistic talents may feel locked away and replaced by criticism, mental lethargy, and minute details. There may be periods of blanketing anxieties, catastrophic imagination, and thought induced melancholy. A sort of vocal repression can be felt with Saturn in the 3rd, and she typically learns to master her mind after much obstacle and pain. It’s like she could dwell on a pinata of ideas in his mind, sit down to write it and stare lost at the blank piece of paper, unable to articulate the beauty. This blockage can cause her to become so internally and mentally bound that her thoughts become mixed up and crash past her in deafening waves. Something is wrong. But because she can’t think through what it is, she doesn’t know what it is. The individual may complete education in the second part of life due to the self contempt of youth. There is the deep fear of being shamed for her intellect or humiliated for her ideas. What comes from her mind is magic, and yet she trembles writing out the ingredients. The critical voices are quite loud and overbearing. This is the likes of ‘‘are you really going to say that?!” “…you’re not smart enough for this” and “are you sure you have thought about this properly?”
It can be hard for the individual to lift off into rapturous thought because she zooms in on practical details and conventional ideals. She identifies strongly with the voice of the elder in her mind and values the education she may have been denied. With Saturn in the 3rd we have wise grandfather Saturn in Gemini’s playground of perception, communication, and media. So we have the fusion of wisdom with the purest expression of the mind. Conversations will be deep and meaningful, and full of learning - often for the other person. The individual likes to have her words in order and know the facts well before sharing them. It is likely she prefers to become a professional of her chosen field and base her universal perception on fierce logic and practicality. The individual will often remain silent until she feels confident in speaking what she means. But Saturn is somewhat double bodied like Gemini. There can be the compulsive, volatile Saturn behaviour. She may not know the appropriate moment for silence, be too trusting, and share too much of her private life. Gaining control over her mind and harnessing her thoughts is the disciplined approach Saturn rewards. She is capable of tremendous mental talent and century old insights. It’s like the person watches life pass by through the sepia lenses of someone who has lived a million times over.

Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Pisces
‘True Believer’
You are a very kind and helpful person and are able to identify and sympathize with almost everybody. Your innocent soul is humble, generous, and sensitive. You know the difference between right and wrong because you have an innate sense of integrity and wisdom. But your spirituality is not always synchronized with pragmatic common sense. You have no cunning or shrewdness and are completely trusting. Your faith in other is total and you would be eaten alive if other people were not so kind to you. Fortunately people never fail to respond in a positive way to your innocence. There is a dreamy look that Aquarius- Pisceans have and it seems they have just woken up and do not know where they are. This approach is used in everything, as though existence is carried on in several dimensions. If you see the entire world at once you get mixed up because you cannot really separate the parts. It is possible a religious path might be for you because you are quite spiritual. Some Aquarius-Pisceans are even drawn to the monastic life. Furthermore, you may be especially tuned in to the occult and the mysterious. More mainstream people find this quite odd about you. Sri Rama Krishna, the founder of the Vedanta Society, represents a very evolved Aquarius-Pisces. Your imagination is strong and you have a very visual mental framework. Given the right motivation and teaching, you might be an artist or other creative entrepreneur. However you must acquire some direction and discipline from others to be successful. Without this you are a ship with no rudder to guide you to your destination. You are a sponge for the stress or feelings around your environment. That is a strong influence on you. Meditating, reading or listening to music from time to time is good for you. However you must be careful that isolation does not take you away from involvement with others. High technology or heavy competition is not suited for you as a career. Involve yourself in a profession where you can use your compassionate and humanitarian feelings. Or perhaps think in terms of using your powerful clairvoyant skills. Because of your detached character, people might think that you are uncaring. Aquarian detachment may lead others to believe that you are not very sensitive, but the opposite is actually true. (http://universal-tao-eproducts.com)
The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a mind that is very original and able to grasp the most vague, ethereal and extreme concepts. The blend mixes friendliness, originality and independence of Aquarius with the emotional sensitivity and imagination of Pisces. You are a person who is naturally persevering and conscientious, being interested in detail, method and order. Your way of reacting to the world is very interesting. You can spend days just dreaming and speculating. You are fascinated by the unusual and the abstract, finding it interesting to take up studies in any number of bazaar topics. Loving to read and study, you may become very well informed on a wide variety of subjects. You lean heavily on your hunches and way out ideas, and you’re easily distracted from routine work. You dream a lot and you have an utter faith in the dreams you dream. Your mind can get so far afield on some vaguely related tangent that you may even forget what the task at hand originally was. Your perceptions are so vividly acute that it is often not practical to pay attention to all of them. You live a private life of your own, into which few others ever penetrate. A keen imagination or a sort of mental vision allows you to be good money-maker in a variety of fields; you seem to be able to intuitively realize possibilities and take advantage of them. You success relies on talent and intelligence since you don’t project a particularly strong leadership personality. There is a tendency for you to let things drift. At times you should display a more forceful will, but by and large you develop a very pronounced prudence and sense of caution. You can benefit in overcoming or controlling a tendency to accept things in a passive way, or in being too friendly and obliging if others incline to take advantage of your good nature.

“People prepare for the worst… but hope for the best. They concentrate on the things that are important to them. All the things beyond fat and flour.”
Perfect Sense (2011)
There are two movements now;
there are people who run on the streets and grab all they can,
people who believe it’s the end of the world.
Then there’s the other movement… soldiers reporting for duty.
Those who believe that life will go on somehow,
or just don’t know whatelse to do.
“It’s dark now. But they feel each others’ breath. And they know all they need to know. They kiss. And they feel each others’ tears on their cheeks. And if there had been anybody left to see them, then they would look like normal lovers, caressing each others’ faces, bodies close together, eyes closed, oblivious to the world around them. Because that is how life goes on. Like that.”
