When the ancient Greeks were developing their system of astrology, Saturn was the furthest planet in the solar system that they knew about. For this reason, Saturn is associated with limitations and endings. Saturn has also been considered a very serious planet, linked to discipline, determination, and hard work. People who are gloomy or moody are said to have a “Saturnine” disposition. Some people
dread the appearance of Saturn in their chart because of this, and because it is never easy to accept one’s limitations. However, Big Daddy Saturn is firm but fair, and if you put in the work Saturn will make sure you reap the rewards. The ancient Greek astrologer Serapio wrote :“Whatever gifts Saturn gives, no other star can take away.” The house Saturn occupies will indicate what area of your life you must work
hard for growth or rewards, while your Saturn sign may reflect your attitude toward hard work, discipline, and limitations. Saturn traditionally rules Capricorn, but that may not be reflected in your personal chart.
