Saturn moves about one degree in 10 years in a progressed chart, so it will only change signs in your lifetime if it started in the last 5-10 degrees of a sign. Saturn pushes us to grow up, take responsibility, and work toward our long-term goals. When your progressed Saturn changes signs, it can bring desires to achieve mastery in a new area, as well as a new set of lessons to learn and obstacles to overcome on the way to that mastery.
