The planet Saturn in his deepest sense is limitation, boundary, restriction, obstruction and resistance! That makes him the counter pole to the sun (light and spirit)- the darkness or substantial.
The current position of Saturn
The traditional Astrology calls Saturn" infortuna major", the great misfortune. Even today his meaning in the horoscope is still worry, hard work, the purification by the material boundaries. Psychologically he stands for the principal of loneliness (inner and outer), the separation, experience and reinforcement. The Saturn personality will always painfully experience the boundaries of the physical world,
the strongholds , which hinder his ambition in the world. A person on the current stage of development of mankind has a tendency to answer to Saturn's Vibrations with toughness, stinginess, hatred, excessive worry, coldness, tyranny and egoism.
People under Saturn influence seem to be foremost egoists, because they give in to Saturn's vibrations and become indifferent towards others. The spiritually matured personality, receives Saturn's gift of endurance, never tiring concentration, the everlasting such for a higher goal and purpose in life that is behind all things. The
mystics of all times called Saturn the "keeper of the threshold", the tempter and purifier at the same time. Psychologically, Saturn is associated with a seriousness for life, persistence, fearlessness, untiring energy, and industriousness. A Saturn personality will never get anything for free, he has to work hard to accomplish what he has set out for, but he is equipped to take up that challenge. His inner nature contains some melancholy, depression and fears of the future.. The Saturn mentality shows moments of heaviness, of closure, loneliness hardening but by the same token, maturing mentally as well as spiritually.
Such people have difficulties to be open towards others, they talk little, are set in their ways and are self centered. They are often of a pondering
nature. They miss a certain light-heartedness to just tackle things. Everything seems to be full of
problems to them. It is essential to look at the constellation and the aspects of the other planets in the horoscope, to determine if Saturn can free himself from certain boundaries of the physical world. Especially Sun-Saturn and Moon-Saturn aspects are of significance, because they show the degree
of freedom a person achieves, whether or not they can break the illusions of the boundaries of the world or give in to it. In the best case scenario, Saturn gives a gift of values, such as houses, and land. His zodiac sign is the Capricorn, the symbol of endurance and striving to overcome the challenges and obstacles in life. In a good constellation, Saturn lets you achieve a high position, even as a politician, but always threatens to let you fall just as deep,
if the strength and power given is misused. In his second sign, the Aquarius, Saturn is more tamed and
friendly. He brings about knowledge and realization, which is in a spiritual sense the way to break free from the boundaries of the material world. On the physical level, Saturn rules over the skeletal system, the knees, joints, skin and the spleen. His principal is rigidness and stiffening as well of hardening of the arteries.
