Posti toi tänään Komilla Suttonin kirjan "The Essentials of Vedic Astrology". Sutton kirjoittaa Saturnuksesta näin:

"Saturn in the great teacher of cosmic truths; it works through restrictions, obstructions, frustrations, unhappiness, disillusionment, setbacks and even death. (...) It is the significator of misery in a natal chart but there is a definite purpose to Saturnian suffering. Through restricition and limitation, Saturn forces the soul to recognise inner truth obscured by veils of matter.

Saturn in the planet of karmic retribution. It keeps an account of all the past acts and releases this karma unexpectedly in this life. Faced with such powerful karmic forces, we have to dig deep into our inner resources, enduring immense misery and frustration. But once we start to understand the dark forces of Saturn, we can slowly move along the path towards self realisation. Saturns detaches us from the pleasures of life by making us consider the true realisation for our birth. This stripping away of illusions brings about immense psychological transformation. (...)

Saturn helps us to mature through everyday life experiences and the resultant growth brings with it detachment from both the pleasures and the miseries of life. With this knowledge comes strength.(...)

Saturn in the servant in the planetary cabinet. In modern terms, that means it represents workers or people with menial jobs.(...)

Anything to do with Saturn takes a long time; it usually represtents delay, long-lasting and pronounced influences. It is the most difficult energy we have to face, as the karaka of unhappiness, difficulty and struggle. It is however a democratic planet - it gives you difficulty, regardless of whether it is weak or strong; its lessons have to be learnt."
