Saturn through the Places in a Natal Chart | and a bonus haiku
If you’re familiar with astrology, you’ll know that a natal chart has 12 places (or houses), and each place contains topics related to life in the material world.
Saturn is the furthest planet seen with the naked eye. It is considered to be the outer limit, the boundary before the fixed stars. It is dim and murky brown, and known to be moderately dry and excessively cold. It represents things like decompostion, bad smells, cultivation of land, handcrafts, hard labor, and burdens. It can point to an ascetic life, long journeys, hardships resentment, and dark moods and feelings. It is the general significator for solitude, time, distance, responsibility, delays, fears, and death. Also for grandfathers, fathers, old men, and ancestors of the dead. Generally speaking, Saturn is more constructive in a day chart than in a night chart. (This is when the Sun is above the Ascendant/Descendant line.)
