The belief that every couple goes through a difficult period when the relationship turns 7 is linked to the cycles of Saturn
Have you ever heard of the 7 year crisis? According to this belief, every couple tends to go through a difficult time when the relationship ends this period of time. But does this idea have any validity?
Opinions are controversial. However, in Astrology, this belief finds coherence and correlation with the Cycles of Saturn.
Maybe you’ve already heard of it Return of Saturn – is one of the most famous cycles on the planet, occurring on average every 29 years. But there are others and, below, we will talk specifically about the square that repeats every 7 years.
How astrology explains the 7-year crisis
When a relationship begins, an astral chart is generated for that union. After about 7 years, Saturn will form its first square (which is a tense aspect) with the position he was in in the Chart at the beginning of the relationship.
AS Saturn is associated with individual maturation cycles and over time, with every aspect of this type, the relationship will undergo a “test”, which will lead to re-evaluating the functioning of the parties in the couple.
In other words, there could be a 7-year crisis, a 14-year crisis, a 21-year crisis… and so on. Whenever Saturn forms a square.
What Saturn reveals about love
Saturn has a lot to do with relationships in astrology. After all, this planet is known to bring a sense of restriction, responsibility, and, often, crisis that aims to promote growth and evolution.
In a relationship, the 7-year Saturn cycle can be interpreted as an opportunity for the couple to review and strengthen their bonds. As well as for the personal development of individuals.
This crisis triggered by Saturn every 7 years can be triggered by external or internal factors:
- External: relocation of one of the spouses, family difficulties that require the commitment of one of the parties, financial difficulties, among others.
- Internal: the couple’s voluntary re-evaluation of how far they have come and whether they are where they would like to be.
When the couple is not aware of relational cycles or is not very attentive to what happens on a psychological and emotional level, external events are the triggers for reevaluation, while when there is self-awareness, things happen on a more subjective.
The crisis will not always come every 7 years
It is important to underline that, in addition to the cycles of Saturn, each person has a different astral chart and, consequently, individual astrological transits, which signal possible love directions. You can track your individual astrological transits and those of your partner here on Personalized Horoscope.
A couple can go through crises before or after the age of 7, not necessarily in that exact period.
Transits of other planets, such as Pluto, Neptune or Uranus, in Relationship houses or personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars, can directly influence the relationship.
This happens not because the relationship itself is in a time of reevaluation, but because the individual experiencing the transit will find themselves in a transition phase that tends to influence their life together.
What to do if the 7-year crisis hits?
Under no circumstances are the crises symbolized by astrological transits must be avoided.
Each astrological cycle has a purpose, which is to create awareness and promote personal and relational growth. The natural fear of changes should not prevent them from occurring, as they are essential for human growth.
The astrological perspective reminds us that, although every ending represents a death, it also symbolizes a new beginning, which can be much better than the one previously experienced.
When we align with the energy of astrological transits on a psychological level, the physical impact is usually less the purpose of these transits is being achieved: to create awareness and growth.
Therefore, astrology invites us to embrace change and recognize the importance of crises in relationships as opportunities for growth and evolution, both individually and together.
Every crisis is an opportunity for transformation, and if approached with awareness and acceptance, can lead to a stronger, more meaningful relationship at the end of the cycle.
