I have the same kind of configuration in my chart i.e. Sun at 2deg Libra in 1st House (Conj Asc at 29deg Virgo) and 2nd sign, in opposition to Saturn at 2deg Aries in 7th House and 8th Sign. Both Planets are in fall and in Mutual Reception by exaltation. Also both planet are squared by Mars at 26deg Sag in 4th House (and Sign).
Um. Ok, let's break this down. poyi, are you following? We don't even need the entire chart to do this, though it would be helpful. Because my real question is where is Jupiter.
Saturn opposed the Sun is always going to be retrograde. Always. It isn't even a matter of mutual reception, though in this case and as mihalerm suggests...Saturn is rendered inpperable. Why? What is the nature of Saturn? To reject and exclude. What is Saturn? The greater malefic, a cold, dry planet. How strong are the superior planets at their opposition from the Sun? (because Mercury and Venus can never, ever oppose the Sun?) Not strong. the opposition is their weakest point.
Saturn is the dark, the end, the gateway to nothingness. He is an anathema to the lights, which is why in the Thema Mundi he is assigned rulership over the signs he does have...and a retrograde Saturn opposed the Sun, in his fall is cowering in the corner pissing his pants in fear. Because he isn't only in the house of the Sun (which would be Leo, and how often do your relatives/familiars exalt you anyway) he is in the exaltation of the Sun. Where the Sun is God and Saturn will be hunted down and lynched before he is burned at the stake.
The early degrees of Aries belong to Jupiter for terms, and Saturn has zero dignity there. While Libra falls in the solar half of the Zodiac, and so though is Sun's fall from exaltation, Sun will always occupy the stronger position in this particular configuration. Which planet trumps whom? Sun or Saturn? Because the other thing to consider is sect. Sun below the horizon means this is a day chart, Saturn is a diurnal planet and so wants to be in the same half as the Sun, and at the opposition can't be. Ahem.
milharlem? Where is the Moon?
Not considering Zoller´s statement (above) this configuration would lead by quadrant, to a terrible partner and problems and limitations in marriage. By Whole Houses it would indicate that I would have problems with debts.
Only if you choose to look at dignity and disregard the rest of the body of traditional astrology. Sect, bound rulers, degree influences...all will play a role. Let's just think for a minute. Saturn is a cold, dry planet. Aries is a hot sign. This will have the effect of mitigating Saturn's coldness so that his maleficence is tamed and actually allow the benefits of Saturn to manefest.
As a matter of fact I had a quite normal wife and a reasonable, lasting marriage.
As to debts, I never had any problems. Was (and am till now, at least) always solvent, in other words, I have (and always had) an upper middle class stable financial situation. Note, I am over 70 years old, retired and no debts at all (not even mortgage - bought my apartment in cash)!!!
Good for you. You just figured out how to reap the benefits of a malefic completely hamstrung in your chart.
What's up with the 5th and 6th houses in your chart? Do you suffer from migraines?
In my understanding, my life and chart ratify the above Zoller's statement.
Am I wrong?
Nope. Just that...comparing only your chart will allow you to personally experience what your chart promises. If you really want to prove your theory, then it must needs many, many more charts to study...and to study the whole of.
It was a misstatement. My only excuse is that it was very, very late (or early, depending on how you look at it) when I wrote this.
