Chapter 8. Saturn in Your Chart

Astrologically speaking, the planet Saturn is the force of discipline. Saturn defines your duties, responsibilities and the structure of your life. Saturn also represents the heavy hand of authority, fear, inhibitions, constrictions, restrictions, reservations, anxiety and limits imposed. It is a symbol for the force of gravity. Words like "must" and "can't" relate to Saturn.

Hard work and perseverance are also saturnian concepts and that's not all bad. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine." Saturn represents mastery, seasoned professionalism, efficiency, consolidation and dependability. This Khronos, Odin, "star of limiting the place" also represents daddy, and Jehovah complexes.

INTENSE DECISIONS

For you to let go of your limits, you need to work on forgiveness issues and trust. You may not give people a "second chance".

You have some stinging repartee and biting humor. Find the right focus for your intense energy and tremendous willpower. In time, any disciplined research you do will bring results.
