Interpretation

Saturn in Scorpio fears the depths — and must go there anyway. Power, intimacy, death, and transformation are all areas where you feel the weight of responsibility and the pressure of control. You hold secrets tightly and trust is granted with extreme selectivity. The gift is the ability to master the darkest material life offers. The shadow is emotional control so complete it becomes isolation.
