🪐 Saturn is about self-discipline, order, restriction, conscience, hardship, diminution, state, power, time, and old age. The planet rules the zodiac sign of Capricorn and the tenth house.
Astrology interprets this planet as a karmic law and the “you reap what you saw” principle. The ancients saw Saturn as a ruler and a mentor. Traditional astrology called it the planet of “major misfortune” and associated Jupiter with loss, hardship, adversity, decline, loneliness, and death.
👉 Modern astrology presents Saturn in a different light. Saturn, the second biggest planet in the solar system, is a great teacher, the voice of reason connected to the archetype of the old sage. It embodies the innate need for order, predictability, and security. Saturn is about the sense of duty and responsibility, it impels one to self-discipline and self-improvement. This, however, doesn’t go without consequences and might provoke an internal conflict.
Saturn imposes certain restrictions without which our life would be chaotic. It shows its constructive energy by giving one wisdom. It helps one to find their place in life and work on achieving long-term goals. It makes you understand the value of planning ahead, organizing, discipline, and perseverance. Jupiter helps one to become a committed-minded, socially responsible adult. Its position in a natal chart shows where and how you can learn how to be tenacious, disciplined, and modest.
💫 It also shows your fears and misgivings that give birth to your sense of insecurity. More often than not, it shows which areas of life will make you struggle. But it will also tell about perseverance, sense of purpose, and help to spend your resources reasonably.
Saturn might symbolize the elders. It’s usually associated with a father figure in one’s life or any adult who demanded discipline from you as a child. Children need order and discipline for their own good and safety. But if there’s too much of it in their life, they lose the strength of will and confidence and can become close-minded and cowardly. Saturn can become your conscience or even your sense of guilt if there are too many internal taboos.
