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.

More than more people, you are limited by the amount of responsibility you take for yourself.

Do not wear cheap shoes. Treat yourself to some massage toys that are especially for the feet. Allow yourself the luxury of a frequent foot massage. Make it a point to get a personalized consultation from someone who tells fortunes by reading feet.

You could work behind the scenes for the government, or a large institution. Whenever you feel the need to indulge in self pity, channel your energy into work for the less fortunate.

Be moderate or abstinent with alcohol. Steer clear of drug abuse. Eat fresh garlic and avoid horror movies and people on the dark side of the occult.

Chapter 8A. Chiron in Your Chart

Discovered in 1977, Chiron is a relative newcomer to astrology. Named after the half-brother of the Greek god Zeus, Chiron is a comet from outside our solar system, according to the latest scientific findings. In Greek mythology, Chiron was tutored by the Sun and the Moon (Apollo and Artemis) and, in turn, taught the offspring of other gods.

Chiron taught special skills such as astrology, philosophy, ethics, music, medicine, horseback riding, and weaponry. These skills where thought necessary for gods, and humans, to achieve their destinies. The position of Chiron in your birth chart denotes what and where you may teach or be taught. It is also where you can be healed and how you can heal others.

A Centaur, who is part human, and part horse, Chiron is a half-breed. His higher self sometimes struggles with his own animal nature. What follows is a description of the "chironic" side of your character.

To become more fully human, you need to become more of a maverick. Rearrange your concept of social interaction. Do it with a smile. Open new doorways to the world of friendship. Do it with specific goals in mind. Imagine for a moment that you're Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, Yoda the Jedi Knight or Helen Keller mentoring the blind, then give some sagacious thought to your place in society.
