Saturn conjunct Neptune

Saturn and Neptune meet roughly every thirty six years and mark a generation. Joined, the pair puts form around the formless: these people can give a practical shape to an ideal, work patiently at something whose payoff is not visible, and have realistic compassion rather than the sentimental kind. Medicine, care work and long artistic projects suit them. The cost is chronic doubt about whether any of it is real, a susceptibility to low-grade depression, and physical complaints that resist diagnosis. Discipline and disillusion arrive together here.
