How this placement behaves

In classical astrology, Saturn signifies boundaries, time, melancholy, restriction. When Saturn is placed in Taurus, those significations are refracted through the bull. taurus stabilizes, gathers, and preserves. it is fertile, material, and concerned with continuity, endurance, and possession.

Saturn is peregrine here, so reception, aspects, and the condition of the dispositor become especially important in judgment.

Essential dignity

Peregrine (Neutral)

Saturn has no major essential dignity or debility in Taurus. Reception, aspects, and the condition of Venus matter more than a simple dignity label here.

Dispositor: Venus

Sign condition

Taurus is fixed earth, so the placement mixes the planet's own nature with a sign that is structured around the bull. taurus stabilizes, gathers, and preserves. it is fertile, material, and concerned with continuity, endurance, and possession.

Alan Leo (William Frederick Allan)

"This tends to make the native strong-willed, very firm and persistent in pursuing his purposes; of a quiet, slow, kind nature, unless afflicted, but easily roused to anger and passion. It is not good for money matters, and (unless very well aspected) money comes but slowly or wastes away. There is a possibility of inheritance, especially through a parent—probably father—and the native may gain money (or lose it, if afflicted) through public ventures, investments, stocks, shares, banks, companies, or speculations in these matters. The good aspects of Jupiter, the Moon and Venus to Saturn are the best for pecuniary purposes. As Saturn has more power in the latter half of life than in the earlier years, its influence often developes and changes after the expiration of its first period (twenty-eight to thirty years). This is equally true whatever sign Saturn may occupy. The native is usually careful and saving in money matters, either from inclination or necessity, and is sometimes even miserly. In any case there is a tendency to selfishness"

"as touching this position in Taurus when he is Lord of the year, who if he be then in an angle and direct, he signifies War and Discords or Quarrels, chiefly in the Regions and Places subject to Taurus , and in the Southern parts of the Nation in which the Revolution is made, also destruction to the Seeds and Plants in the earth, because Taurus is an Earthy sign, and he no ways essentially fortified so as to do there any good, and being naturally evil, unless the good aspects of the Fortunes do prevent and alter his influence; he shall also cause Catterpillers, Worms, and such kinde of Creatures as shall destroy the Fruits of the Earth; also Tribulations, and Sorrows in the earth, destruction of Houses, Cities and Towns, also Earthquakes, chiefly Southward (because Taurus is a Southern sign, &c.) and in those places subject unto Taurus . Moreover if Saturn be Lord of the year, and located in Taurus , he signifies Wars, Scarcity and Famine, or a want of such things as are produced out of the earth; and if he be impedited, he also denotes mortality, and that also to the great Ones of the earth; and if Mars and the Moon be joyned either in Conjunction or Aspect with Saturn , in what ever sign it be, or what ever then ascends, they shall denote mortality and famine, or a scarcity"
