Saturn is oblate and the second largest star among the nine planets in the solar system. It is mainly composed of gas and may have a core inside. Saturn has a beautiful ring of light around it. Its rings have several layers, and each layer consists of many smaller rings. Saturn is also the planet with the largest number of satellites in the solar system, with 18 known at present. Saturn's rotation period is 10 hour, 39 minutes and 22 seconds, and period of revolution is 29.46 years (which is also the year of Saturn's return). Saturn stays in each zodiac for about two and a half years.
Second, the astrological connotation of Saturn
Saturn is the "first evil star" in astrology, and the author always thinks that it may not be appropriate to call Saturn this way. In fact, there is nothing ominous, just a choice of interests in different fields and at different times. Some people call Saturn "the black sun". In other words, the sun is the provider of light and energy in the astrolabe, shooting at every corner of the zodiac, while Saturn is a dark cloud, blocking the sunlight, making the area covered by Saturn dark.
Saturn's territory means "testing" first. People's development in this respect will go through various tests, the degree of which depends on Saturn's influence, phase relationship and the situation of other planets in this constellation. This kind of test is definitely not a bad thing. Human nature always has various weaknesses. Without suffering, it is impossible for human power to achieve purity. As long as you can break through Saturn's many tests, you will achieve the greatest and most solid achievements in this field in your life. This achievement is definitely not the grandiose type of Jupiter, but comes from hard work. Therefore, it is also the achievement that you are least likely to be vilified or deprived of, and perhaps the only thing you can rely on in times of crisis. But if Saturn's phase is too fierce and the test comes too early for young life to bear, then Saturn will really bring disaster.
Saturn means "treasure". Treasure is something hidden underground, and it is absolutely impossible to get it easily. This is a powerful potential that is aroused after pain. Saturn's role in the astrolabe is like a dam, which makes the original trickle accumulate over time. When the stream accumulated enough strength to finally break through the dam, the originally weak stream has become a splashing waterfall. Give two examples I have seen to illustrate. An example comes from a teacher who is in Saturn's second house. She was very poor in her early years and did a lot of heavy work. After graduating from junior college, I worked as a teacher in a technical school. Due to the unfortunate marriage, it is quite difficult to support the family. After that, she took the undergraduate and master's exams and became the academic leader. Her salary is also quite high in the local area. Another example comes from a student. She works very hard in Saturn's ninth house and elementary school, and is almost recognized as a model of "hard work". But for various reasons, my grades were not very good, and I only went to a very ordinary university. During my college years, my years of hard work finally paid off. I got a smooth postgraduate exam and got a high score in GRE.
Saturn means "the source of fear or stress". Not everyone can successfully break through Saturn's test. If you are repeatedly frustrated under these tests, your confidence will be greatly frustrated. Psychologically, I feel depressed, pessimistic and conservative. There may even be a tendency to escape, that is, to escape the events involved in Saturn's field. This is why many people in Saturn's seventh house prefer to be single. But in many cases, Saturn's occlusion is a difficult problem that you must overcome in your life, and it is also inevitable. Therefore, if we face up to the fear brought by Saturn, turn pressure into motivation and take the initiative to overcome the test set by Saturn, it will be a compulsory course in life.
Saturn means "education" and "reflection". Long ago, I saw a sentence in the office of a company boss, "No one chooses suffering, but suffering is a person's best mentor." Similarly, Saturn is a planet that brings hardships and tests, so it is a "mentor of life", teaching fragile life how to become strong and unyielding. Different from Jupiter's publicity, you must constantly reflect on Saturn's field. Only in this way can you create possibilities for future progress.
Saturn means "limit". Many astrologers believe that this limiting effect comes from the existence of Saturn's rings. Whether this statement is true or not, one thing is certain. Saturn's territory is definitely not a place to let go. There is only one way to succeed, that is, slow and long-term accumulation. A person in Saturn's second house should never expect to get rich overnight. Reliable work and a little accumulation are the right way to get rich.
Saturn means "weakness". This is particularly useful in medical astrology. In which constellation is Saturn, the body parts represented by this constellation are more likely to "weaken". If Saturn is in lost face, or if other planets in this constellation suffer, diseases will appear. If Saturn is in good phase and there are no planets in this constellation, then this weakness is hidden. For example, if there are no planets in Saturn's balance, your blood circulation system, waist (kidney) and skin are more fragile than others. So you should take care of these places very carefully.
Saturn means "tight organization and structure". If someone has Saturn's third house, they represent the way of thinking. So his thinking is more rigorous and logical.
Saturn has many other meanings, such as "loneliness" and "procrastination", which will not be explained here. All judgments of astrology depend on the basic meaning of stars, so it is necessary to take time to understand the top ten stars. Other imaginary points, asteroids and stars are far less important than the top ten stars, so it is unwise to learn secondary knowledge without intensive basic knowledge.
Third, the phase of Saturn and the personal planet.
Saturn and the sun are in phase: there will be more tests and challenges in life. Father will play an important role in childhood growth. Saturn has become a demanding mentor in your life. When you want to develop your personality at will, Saturn will set obstacles in reality in its own way. Only when you follow its meaning will you feel dull. For those who have nothing to do with the sun and the earth, the test brought by Saturn is limited to the area covered by Saturn, while for those who have nothing to do with the sun and the earth, this test will spread throughout all fields of life. So you will gradually learn to suppress your personality and obey this demanding tutor. Under its positive influence, you become more responsible, rigorous and reliable. It is easy to establish authority among people around you, so it will also play a leading role. But at the same time, under its negative influence, you also inherited the harshness and ruthlessness of this mentor. Often demanding people around you, using all kinds of leverage to restrain people around you, just like a pair of authority and elders. This behavior is just a sign of your lack of confidence. You doubt the value of your existence, so you choose Saturn, your strict mentor, as your supporter and its spokesman.
Saturn and the moon have a phase: this creates a fairly solid, practical and responsible personality. Lack of self-confidence, a lot of words hidden in my heart can't be said. Especially when I have a place in Lost Face that month, I will have a poor childhood. This will have a great impact on your future values. You will think in a very practical and profitable way, lacking romance and humor, so others will think you are more powerful. Although you are loyal to your friends and family, you can't express your enthusiasm, so you criticize and accuse them in a bitter way. It's a pity that your words and deeds are contrary to your original intention. Strengthening your connection with people around you in this way, or maintaining your control over other relationships, is often counterproductive.
Saturn and mercury have a phase: their minds are full of doubts, and their words are very cautious for fear of saying something wrong. When you talk to someone, you may feel that you are educating him or ordering him. Your thinking is very rigorous, logical and pragmatic, and you seldom spend your energy on empty and grandiose things. But you may be more conservative, so you should broaden your horizons. Having a down-to-earth spirit in character and being able to carry it out to the end is very helpful to my career.
Saturn and Venus have aspects: they are not promiscuous people, but they are more loyal to their feelings. Because of Saturn's delay, marriage will be late. Lack of smooth communication skills, unable to express their love normally, and even cover up their enthusiasm with indifference. So even if you meet someone you like, you will be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and it is difficult to express yourself. You are insecure about feelings, so you may turn to seek material security, so you will give the person you love a utilitarian impression.
Saturn has a phase with Mars: cautious, steady and reliable, with considerable organizational ability, but lacking the spirit of adventure. There is a tendency to suppress desire in character. When your plan fails, it will greatly affect your mood because of setbacks, and then you will have subconscious fears instead of getting up again. If the energy of Saturn and Mars can be well coordinated, then there will be the firmness of Saturn and the * * * of Mars.
