- The distance that our eyes can see,
- The body (mainly the Skin), and
- The personal actions that we may undertake (the law keeper of Karma).
Saturn is the lord of your karma since it gives back to you according to:
- What you have done or not done,
- What you may have done right or wrong or deceitfully, or
- What you sowed and you will now reap.
As far as Karma is concerned, Saturn is said to be the guardian of the doors of the heavens therefore to reach a superior state of consciousness (represented by Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), you need to pass through the rings of the judgment (of Saturn) of your Karma.
Thus, as the Karmic judge, Saturn does not allow you to attain higher consciousness unless your karma in your personal history is right.
Characteristics
Saturn has a unique quality that its movement is quite slow in so much as it occupies each zodiac sign for about two and a half year; this attribute is due to its great distance from the Earth but it is visible due to its massive size.
Saturn is a cold and dry planet and represents aged people; he was born to Chhaya and Lord Surya but does not have cordial relations with his father.
In fact, astrologically speaking, Saturn is malefic in nature but the favorable placement on the astrological chart provides an abundance of status, fame and prosperity.
But, its adverse placement on a native’s chart can be the factor responsible for:
- Losses,
- Sorrow,
- Misery,
- Accidents,
- Persistent hurdles,
Longevity is provided by Lord Shani if placed reasonably in a native horoscope.
Saturn symbolizes:
- Karma,
- Tests and
- Teachers and school,
- Discipline,
- Responsibilities,
- Obligations,
- Father,
- Old age,
- Delays,
- Consolidation,
- Ambitions
In the physical body, it controls the following parts:
- The skin,
- The bones, all the large bones in the body are under its control,
- The teeth
In the physical body it rules the skin, bones, teeth, knees and ears.
Above all, Saturn who is represented numerically by the numeral 8 is not only a teacher who teaches and punishes a student according to his performance and deeds.
No wonder he is a strict and discipline-enforcing planet and is particularly harsh against those that are erratic in their conduct; it is also known that Saturn gives severe and long-lasting diseases which are quite troublesome at times.
Lord of justice
Saturn in its role as a justifier also makes you work hard to achieve what you strive for since it keeps testing your tenacity and discipline; learned scholars interpret it as a testing time for you. The positions depicted in your chart indicate the lessons that you have to take to fulfill your responsibilities and gain rewards.
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn where it provides power and responsibility if it is not afflicted; it being exalted in Libra which is the zodiac sign for cooperation, union and marriage. When it enters Aries, it is known to purge energy and makes a native selfish to the core. All the items on or below the surface of the Earth are under the control of Saturn, particularly Iron and other mining items.
