The Planet Saturn in Astrology-Restriction
 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.Ê 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.Ê 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.Ê
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.
