discipline, structure, and stability. This is also tradition. For the better part, what Saturn symbolises is the story of how Harley needs to be stabilised and what she requires in terms of a sense of safety and security. Saturn in Virgo needs to learn the merits of applied effort. Harley will look to the parents to determine the value of work and service. Extra-critical evaluations will be taken to heart, and Harley needs to know that parents approve of her no matter what. Saturn in the 3rd House represents a need for some structure in the learning experience.
