Interpretation
Saturn in Leo is in detriment — self-expression meets self-doubt. You struggle with being seen, with creative confidence, with the simple act of taking center stage. Recognition feels earned only through extraordinary effort. The gift, when realized, is a humble, authentic authority that doesn't need applause to sustain itself. The shadow is either crushing self-consciousness or overcompensating arrogance.
Essential Dignity: Detriment
Saturn is in detriment in Leo. The planet operates in a sign opposite its domicile, creating discomfort and the need for creative adaptation. The energy is present but must work harder to express itself.
