Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but with its larger volume Saturn is over 95 times more massive. Wikipedia

SYMBOLOGY

Saturn has a symbol made up of the cross of matter which represents reality. The cross is placed over the soul. It symbolizes man having a material nature that will reign. The symbol of Saturn is the same as Jupiter, but upside down

LORD SHANI HINDU GOD OF SATURN

According to hinduism, Lord Shani the God of Justice, is the Chief Justice in the Human Life Court. He always provides the justice according to our deeds or karmas. Treated as “Rudra Avtar” of Lord Shiva, he is caring, loving and firmly believes in giving instant results but only on the basis of karma!

ASTROLOGY

Saturn Lord of Karma

Saturn represents authority, discipline, hard work, labour and commitment. It’s also about guilt, resistance and delay.

Saturn in our birth chart is where we feel most inadequate – our Achilles heel. Its the voice that says “You’ll never be good at that!” It is our inner critic and cynic.

However if we recognise and become aware of where Saturn is in our birth chart, we can work with it, rather than against it- and in return we can become a master and even a professional in that area.

The key is understanding and recognising the various elements that Saturn represents.

Discipline

Saturn tests us and will push us to our limits. It rules over time -the Greek god’s name Chronus means time-  and is called the lord of Karma. Saturn’s lessons are discipline, practise and commitment. It has the power to reward like no other planet. Because we work and practise sustained effort, there is a sense of real satisfaction. Mars is exalted in Saturn’s sign of Capricorn. This is evident through weight training- as we do resistance training and lift heavy weights our muscles get stronger.

It is a spiritual energy that requires us to go within, to meditate, to slow down, listen and witness.  It’s here to help us understand that life’s lessons are not meant as punishment, but as learning.

Saturn is said to be the esoteric ruler of this planet- the joke is that we’re the stay after school planet! So what’s your attitude to lessons?

Are you willing to learn? This means connecting with your inner teacher and guide, becoming a Master of your body, emotions and your mind, so you can become strong and at peace.

However it isn’t that easy for most of us! The ego -that part of us that resists discipline and rebels- keeps us stuck.

We keep repeating the same daily lessons- just like Sisyphus in mythology or in the movie Groundhog Day- until one day we learn a different way, and are released. https://www.healingstars.com/articles/saturn-lord-of-karma/

You may seek a life path that helps you shine, and the performing and dramatic arts or other expressive fields can help you develop and express your talents. You can feel shy, even though you may be good at hiding it. If so you will be able to ‘fake it till you make you it’!

You may be blessed with magnetism, charm and skills in management, and will always portray a polished and bright image. You may have a flashy, dramatic edge, or pizzazz and flair that others find irresistible. You’ll enjoy spear heading your own cause or being top dog.

Saturn in Virgo

You will have meticulous attention to detail, and your passion for specificity makes you a great asset in any editing, accounting or professional role in which accuracy is important. You are thorough but may need to manage a tendency to obsess over details. Your critical skills are top notch and a life path which draws on your analytical abilities would be ideal.

Maintain good health and wellbeing, as personal wellness will be equally important to professional success. A strong sense of duty and service can help you excel in a support role, or in a position in which your organisational skills or attention to detail can help others to succeed.

Saturn in Libra

Relationship building is your forte so a life path that focuses on creating and sustaining partnerships will be ideal. You are conscientious and have a sense of duty. You are loyal to partners, personally and professionally. A fear of being alone could lead you to form unequal partnerships. Instead, take your time selecting partners – at work and in love – that will support you in return.

An interest in metaphysical subjects and anything with an esoteric or magical quality is possible.

Scorpio’s connection to secrets, power, mysteries and money may describe the fields in which you excel, like a career to do with finance or politics. You may hold a lot of power or influence, but prefer working behind the scenes.

Saturn in Sagittarius

You may surprise those around you with your quirky or offbeat choices, but you have the confidence to follow an unconventional path.

Saturn in Pisces

You may work best in private, or away from others. Strong intuition gives you insight into what is needed before it’s discussed. This can give you great people skills, but may make time management tricky. Setting clear boundaries will be essential to success. Your affinity with creative or artistic pursuits may lead to niche opportunities.

Compassion, the arts and intuition will play a part in what inspires you, and will describe the talents others recognise in you. You may be dedicated to a charitable cause, or enjoy working in fields that help those less fortunate. Even if you work in a traditional industry you may do so in an inspired or creative manner. Others are inspired by your dedication to making a difference. http://www.kellysastrology.com
