SATURN: The Judge
Saturn stays in a line for 28 days.
“Saturn brings judgement in the gate where it activates. If you break your own law in Jupiter’s gate, you don’t get punished there. Where the Saturn is is where you get punished. Look at where Saturn is in your chart because every time that theme appears as a difficulty in your life, you know that you have broken your own (Jupiter) laws. Saturn will always punish you in the same place, both consciously and unconsciously. Although Jupiter brings you rewards, Saturn can also make you feel good inside. When Saturn does not punish you, life feels good. It doesn’t praise you. It doesn’t pat you on the head. It leaves you alone. There is no greater reward than being left alone by Saturn.
Saturn tells you where you are punished. No matter what you do that is incorrect in your life, no matter where you do it, you end up being punished where your Saturns are. Over and over again. If you really want to see how life punishes you as the not-self, all you have to do is look at those two positions of Saturn and they will tell you where you pay the price for ignorance. It is the pain and suffering of our lives, but it is the pain and suffering of a spanking, not of a nailing on the cross. Saturn is not the reaper or a sadist. It is a punishing parent. It punishes you, but it doesn’t kill you. It just hurts.
Understand something. We are not here to suffer. The greatest test is for Saturn to touch something in your design and everything is o.k. It brings enormous peace if you are correct or it denies you peace within if you are not. You cannot pretend and you cannot hide. It takes a wall of lead 10,000 light years thick to slow down a neutrino. You are not going to hide from Saturn. But you don’t have to be punished and you don’t have to suffer if you live your strategy. It is very simple. It is very mechanical.
For most of human existence, our life cycle and our experience has been compressed by the 28.6 cycle of Saturn. Since the discovery of Uranus in 1781, we have lived a new cycle of 84 years. The hold of Saturn on the collective life is changing. Although much of human consciousness still responds to the old cycle, its Saturn’s new role is not yet known. The movement of Saturn to Uranus can be seen as an expansion of human consciousness. Three Saturn 28.6 cycles roughly meet the 84 year Uranus cycle. Saturn is now beginning to impact more on our inner cycles of development.
The first Saturn cycle marks a period of trial and error, but rather than defining our entire life, it is followed by a different process of observation and aloofness.
If the Saturn is in an undefined center, it is dormant and will emerge when conditioned by outside forces. Saturn in our chart always points to the place where difficulties in our life will surface. In an undefined chart, these people will always meet their own limitations through others and transits.
When people suffer according to the gate Saturn is in, it is a sure sign that they are not following their strategy or honoring their authority in life. Saturn, our shadow, always sounds the alarm first. This is modern Saturn’s most important role, to warn us when we stray from our essential mechanics.”
