Saturn square Ascendant natal gives an aversion to tradition or authority that stems from some injustice or hardship early in life. Perhaps your natural childhood enthusiasm had to be tempered with rules and limitations on your behavior. You may have suffered from physical or verbal abuse by a parent. Or perhaps you were psychologically scarred by bullying or punishment at school.

Early setbacks can lead to low self-esteem, inhibition, and shyness, especially in groups and when meeting new people. It may take you some time to develop your social and interpersonal skills. Saturn is a late bloomer, and you have the patience and determination to find happiness and contentment in relationships. The second half of your life will likely be much easier than the first.

First impressions are important with this aspect. It is hard for you to hide any negativity in the form of fear, apprehension or pessimism. Other people can sense such negative energy and may become wary or suspicious of you. In extreme cases, you could make enemies who work against you and make your life difficult.

You can build trust and acceptance by following the rules and norms of society. Working against the system will cause more problems for you than it would for most others, and this is especially the case if you live in a particularly conservative or strict society.

For example, living an openly alternative lifestyle in a progressive, open-minded community would be easier. However, being a flamboyant individualist in Victorian England would cause persecution and loss of freedom.

Age and experience will teach you how far you can push the boundaries. The key to success is expressing yourself as much as possible and enjoying life as much as possible without causing too much resistance from others.

To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul. Oscar Wilde, 1897.
