Interpretation

Saturn in Virgo intensifies the already critical Virgoan eye. Your standards are impossibly high — for yourself first, for others second. Work is both your sanctuary and your prison. You fear being useless or incompetent more than almost anything. The gift is mastery through obsessive refinement. The shadow is anxiety, workaholism, and self-criticism so relentless it becomes self-punishment.
