What is Saturn?

What is Saturn?

The second largest planet in our solar system, Saturn, is about nine times the size of the Earth. It has extensive rings around it, which are comprised mostly of ice, but the rest of the material that the rings are made of is dust and rocky debris. It has at least 292 of its own moons. It has one moon named Titan that is the second largest moon in the solar system. The planet was named after the Roman God Saturn, their god of agriculture and wealth. They also named Saturday after that god, and the name means Saturn's day.

In astrology, Saturn rules the Zodiac Sign Capricorn. Saturn is associated with limitations and restrictions. It brings meaning and structure. It reminds us of responsibilities, boundaries, and commitments and is very important to bringing definition to life and depending on where it is in the Zodiac chart. It brings awareness of those limits and our need for self-control. It can symbolize loss or misfortune and melancholy. The color that characterized Saturn, believe it or not, is black, and it can instill an emotionally depressive mood, or it can make you somber and serious.

What are Saturn Signs?

Your Saturn sign lets you know where Saturn was in your birth chart. It reveals our biggest fears and where we need to practice discipline. Therefore, it also shows us where we need to learn to be patient. It's one of the least visible planets in our solar system. So this represents limits to us because of that. Saturn spends two or three years in each Sign and right at 29 1/2 years to move through all 12 signs. Between the age of 28 to 31 and the age of 56 to 59 you will go through something called a Saturn Return. This is when you will integrate parts of yourself from years prior. You may go through major transitions during these times or you can return full circle to something from your past.

A lot of people see challenges as negative things, but are they really? There are two reactions to a challenge. We can either crumble, or we can rise to the challenge, overcome it, and become better versions of ourselves. Instead of dreading the influence of Saturn on your birth chart, you can choose to see whatever challenges it brings as opportunities to become a better you. They say that metal has to be purified in fire before it can shine. They say that after a rose is pruned, it grows better. After you overcome your challenges, you cam become the best. Learning positive thinking can help you to make the best of challenging times. Learn how here: Thinking Positive - Thinking Positively Everyday

Saturn in Gemini

Saturn in Gemini

When Saturn is in Gemini, a major fear is that you are not intelligent enough. However, you are resourceful and adaptable and you do have high intellectual ability. Friends and neighbors may cause limitations or problems for you. The virtue of having a critical and analytical mind works against you when Saturn is in Gemini.

Saturn in Cancer

When Saturn is in Cancer, one of the problems you have is a high sense of dissatisfaction, changeable moods, and a lot of difficulties toward the end of your life. This will cause a lot of changes in the places where you live, the things you do, and the jobs where you work. When Saturn is in Cancer, you have deep feelings, and when your feelings are hurt, it can ruin experiences for you. One of the problems that Saturn in Cancer can present is absent parents. A lesson you have to learn is that although family is very important to you, friends are the family you choose, and if blood relatives do not provide the emotional support you need, you can get it outside of the home. Patience with problems in your youth will help you to grow and deal with sorrows.

Saturn in Leo

You are highly ambitious, strong willed, and bold enough in spirit that you work hard. Saturn in this placement opens up dangers through overwork that cause accidents and can affect your health in detrimental ways. You are quick tempered, and when challenges arise, you might first have an emotional meltdown before you roll up your sleeves and deal with things. A powerful strength you have when Saturn is in Leo is the understanding that you need to hone your skills, and practice makes perfect.

You have to learn that the perfectionism Scorpio and Saturn combine to create can make you difficult to please, and you have to be patient with imperfections.

Saturn in Sagittarius

When Saturn is in Sagittarius, you have a powerful aversion to limitations. You struggle valiantly against them, but are always brought down to earth by the fact that limitations happen to all of us and sometimes you can't just make them go away. You are a highly moral individual, and these beliefs of morality ground you. You hold yourself accountable and you spend your time making the world a better place by holding other people accountable.
