Saturn Rising - Saturn in the First House or Ascendant

Saturn rising is considered to be very unfortunate; but much depends upon the sign in which it is placed, and its aspects. It gives the native industry, perseverance, thrift, and economy. It awakens the contemplative, thoughtful, and deeply religious side of the nature, giving a quiet devotion which is both unassuming and considerate. When rising it gives humility and patience, but when perverted it causes the native to be harsh and severe, stubborn and miserable. Saturn is the planet of limitation, and governs the form side of power, giving the ability to undertake great responsibilities, and to organise
successfully.
