Saturn transiting sextile Sun
It is a positive transit - most important for the couple - especially if it forms in the initial phases of the relationship, when the motivations are still in the process of being created. For example, there are relationships that are born from simple flirts and that for a little bit drag on waiting undecided or uncommitted, enjoying the present, no strings attached ... and that, thanks to this transit, consolidate, become stronger, while partners begin to think about a common future and to build it with responsibility. In the trine aspect, especially, partners can decide to make their relationship official, to live together, to get married, and, in any case, to be considered as couple to all intents and purposes: joined by a common intention. The sextile aspect is less incisive, but always useful and reassuring, especially in view of long-term targets, that could sustain the mutual complicity. Tested or long-term couples might feel closer, conscious of having already done a lot together, creating a family, overcoming difficulties, and wishing, now, to recover, to think more about themselves, to build a new future on the solid bases of the past. Some will feel more grown-up, other a little more aged, but they will all feel stronger thanks to the fact that they are together.

All Saturn's transits are occasions to grow, but in the soft transits such a process is realised generally with greater ease and truthfulness. For the couple, there appears to be a period of "improvement" in which the maturity of the relationship, the reciprocal responsibility and even the openness to sacrifice for the common good, represent a kind of gift of value added to the relationship itself. The trine aspect can also accompany events important for the life of the couple: the beginning of a co-habitation, the purchase of a house, making a relationship official. In general, both partners feel the need to "do it seriously", and to formalize this intention with choices or significant actions. The sense of certainty about the relationship increases, the ambition of building together something important, and also the reciprocal wish to help each other, to depend on each other, to commit beyond the dreams or cuddles. The sextile aspect is less obvious, and generally only after it has concluded the couple realises it is more solid and stable. In certain cases, it is the peculiar sharing of duties or sacrifices to confirm that "united we stand ..." and this will be also a gratifying emotional comfort for the partners individually. In short, it is one of the rare periods in which the passage from the most juvenile or naïve dreams to the most tangible and enjoyable realities ... it gives more than it takes!
Saturn transiting sextile Mercury
It is a transit of reinforcement for the couple, which is experiencing a constructive phase of maturation. Especially in the trine aspect it may relate to children, who grow or, if already grown up, leave home, but this natural process of detachment is experienced in a calm and responsible way, or even as an opportunity, for the couple, to recover time and freedom. Also the dialogue between partners becomes deeper and more mature, they can deal with sacrifices or duties, share a work experience, and for the youngest it can be a good time to set up home and become independent. The sextile aspect often require the need to make an assessment, before laying the foundation for a more secure or standalone future. The good thing of these kinds of transits is in the harmony within the couple, therefore both partners orientate themselves spontaneously towards needs for more seriousness and stability. There is great mutual respect, honesty and even wisdom in assessing the needs of daily life, but this does not prevent them from planning and undertaking actions to achieve their goals. The only "side effect" may be an attitude of closure towards friends or leisure, but if the couple feels the need for solitude and concentration, this usually means a healthy and legitimate desire to strengthen common values, in order then to go back to the world and share them also with others.
Saturn transiting sextile Venus
The soft Saturn transits to the couple Venus are the perfect occasion of growth and consolidation of the relationship. Two partners, spontaneously, feel that the moment has arrived to "do it right" and according to the situations, this can lead them to different choices: to make a relationship official which was until that point secret or casual, to lead on commitments together, to get married, to face decisions, changes or even sacrifices with common intention. Also already long-term relationships can become stronger and motivated, thanks to the increase of togetherness, sharing and of the effort to long-term engagements. The main characteristic of the transits of Saturn is that of enrichment by means of important experiences, where the partners feel proud of things done together and on the contrary they feel like they can overcome anything, also possible difficulties, provided that they are together. The most significant choices are often present when Saturn trines Venus, because the conscience of a couple leads partners to want to officialise their union and to testify it, to each other and to the world, also with objective, tangible events. The sextile aspect does not always include specific facts but equally it signals the wish of building a future together, especially the perception that this future will be here.
Saturn transiting sextile Mars
A most precious present that Saturn can give to the couple Mars is that of adding perseverance, tenacity and method to common projects, reinforcing togetherness and offering thus a chance of lasting even to relationships born without many expectations and on lighter and more open bases. The relationship can grow very much, in this period, because Saturn directs the energy and the intention of Mars, helping partners to overcome possible difficulties, to find motivation again after a moment of crisis, and to feel therefore closer and stronger as a couple. In the trine aspect it is possible that some needs, circumstances or duties reduce erotic drive or occasions to relax. This is not felt passively, as a deprivation, but like an opportunity to demonstrate more common values. The sextile aspect offers a greater certainty on the common future, helping partners to let their couple grow day after day. In any case, partners appear more attentive, more patient and responsible, perhaps more under pressure as a couple, but more tolerant reciprocally; they encourage each other and even "put up with" each other's defects, managing to control a certain personal impulsiveness for the good of the couple.
