Saturn, when strengthened with aspects to the Moon or Venus in the natal chart, can indicate a strong symbol towards a desire for a long-lasting, stable marriage. Sometimes this doesn’t happen so early on in life however, when the native’s luck within relationships switches and changes, which can seem to be a little chaotic. Saturn will very often show up much later when these amazing people find true love after they reach what we understand to be maturity and beyond.

Melissa Gilbert With Venus Trine Saturn

Melissa Gilbert, who became famous as Laura Ingalls in 1970’s and 80’s TV show Little House on the Prairie is an example of this. She had a tumultuous love life with three marriages and many partners. Then, back in 2013 at aged 50, she had her breast implants removed and stopped using fillers and botox, before marrying who she says was the only true love of her life, actor Timothy Bustfield. He was also in his 50’s when they were married, at 56 years old.

Melissa has Venus trine Saturn in her natal chart, so she is fully embracing her love of her conservative, down-to-earth nature in her later years, yet this was not always the case. Saturn in her natal chart opposes Uranus, and there has been evidence of a lot of internal friction from this opposition in her earlier life, as she learned to balance her eccentricity and love for freedom with her desire for stability and a simple life. She has gone from plastic surgery to quitting this and freeing herself of her negative body image complications in the process. Her Instagram pictures today are imbued with serenity and beauty, with natural wrinkles and glasses. She looks wise, happy and comfortable in her skin, as she openly conveys her message, “old age is not a curse” to her many followers.

She is now finally happy in a stable marriage with a mature man who seems to be everything she always sought, who himself has his Sun in a trine aspect to Saturn. It is true that with strong Saturn aspects, especially to Venus, we tend to believe that there is no right or wrong age to fall in love and marry the person of your dreams. Saturn is often seen as the bad guy of the planets, but not when we reach maturity, because this is a time when Saturn finally flowers in the natal chart. Saturn is a late bloomer.

Prince Charles With Moon Trine Saturn

The life led by Prince Charles suggests to us a further example. Prince Charles wed Diana, princess of Wales who was 12 years his junior yet at that time he seemed unsure of his love for her, having been previously heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend Camilla.

His desire for stability and a conservative approach to life can be seen with his Taurus Moon, trining his Saturn in Virgo, yet his life was tumultuous throughout his younger years as Charles and Diana both struggled under the pressures of such a public life, with much of the public’s positive attention angled towards her. This isolated Diana and his infidelity was rumoured long before they separated and divorced.

It was such a sad and unfortunate event when Diana died a year later in a car crash that shocked the world. Then, 7 years after that, Charles, the Prince of Wales re-married to Camilla Parker Bowles at the age of 57 while Camilla was 58. With his Moon trine Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, his emotional security and deep satisfaction within his relationship with the older woman he loves finally came to him. Perhaps it is of no coincidence that Camilla’s own Saturn conjoins her Ascendant so closely. In opposition to her Descendant, her approach to relationships is focussed on long-term security and dependability, qualities that were both sought after by Charles.

George Clooney With Moon Conjunct Saturn

Having been associated with many women and a string of short-lived relationships throughout his life, George Clooney was known by many as a bachelor. His fans and the rest of the world wondered whether he would truly settle down. However, he finally met someone with whom he forged a strong bond through their common love for campaign work. He married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014 at age 53, and has since said he has "never been happier in a relationship by any stretch of the imagination."
