saturn is the father principle
like chronos, that old greek dude, father of Jupiter.
so it weighs in, responsibility, discipline, limitations -
all things that can be sort of a bummer, unless they are understood and worked with. if you learn from saturn, he'll make you powerful. either way, he's kinda a bitch.

saturn moves on a 28 year cycle, so every seven years he stands in an intense relation to his original position at the time of your birth (square to it, opposite it - geometry, man). on your 28th year is supposed to be some relief from all o' that.

aturn has been called the greater malefic cuz it was thought to be such a bummer. but without an understanding of responsibility and groundedness, we wander aimless.
