The Sun-Saturn square shows tension between the desire to express oneself and an inner or outer sense of limitation. The person may early encounter criticism, strict demands, the coldness of authority, heavy responsibility, or the feeling that the right to success must be earned through long labor. The Sun wants to shine, and Saturn seems to place a wall before it: prove it, endure, do not hurry, do not make a mistake.
This aspect often forms seriousness, but not always an easy one. The person may be demanding of themselves, fear failure, feel ashamed of weakness, compare themselves with an unreachable standard. Sometimes they seem restrained, proud, or cold, although inside lives a strong need for recognition. They may not believe in their abilities for a long time, even when they are objectively capable of much. In the worst case, the square turns into an inner judge who forbids joy before the result.
