Saturn in Scorpio sets the lesson of deep inner power, control over instincts, fear, passion, and destructive force. The person has to meet themes of trust, dependence, sexuality, shared resources, death, jealousy, hidden pain, and psychological secrets. Saturn can discipline deep energy, or, in immaturity, compress it until it comes out as hardness, suspicion, and self-destruction.
The strength of this placement is enormous endurance in crisis. The person can be diligent, severe, perceptive, practical, and patient. Medicine, surgery, psychotherapy, hypnosis, chemistry, mechanics, history, archaeology, investigations, occult and psychological sciences may suit them. Difficulties often strengthen the will.
