A Study of Saturn: Friend and Guide [RP]

A Study of Saturn

Normally a person can be judged by his appearance and action. If we apply the same method for the study of Saturn we shall be highly mistaken. No doubt Saturn has his own inherent characteristics but unfortunately his actions are elusive. They do not appear to correspond to his characteristics. He is a congenital liar to say the least about interpretation. He is a disguise. It is hard to say the least about him. He is an adept at disguises. It is hard to say where and in which mask he appears at any particular type. He may be moving in society but the may never be less alone when alone. A show of his least disinterestedness may have his greatest involvement in the affairs. It is on account of such a nature that any study of the planet can hardly be described as comprehensive. In the first chapter titled as introduction some of the most general comments have been offered about Saturn.

In the second chapter I have a systematic study of Saturn. Here I have tried to analyse the symbol, mythology, scriptures and astrology etc. and also the principles of evolution. The chapter with a summary and an analytical synthesis that we find in them.

The third chapter deals with Saturn in various signs of the zodiac. These signs have broadly been divided into four classes namely the Fiery, Earthy, Airy and Watery. They are also classified as cardinal, fixed and mutable. How Saturn behaves in these four types of signs has been brought out in some details.

The fourth chapter deals with Saturn’s results in various houses as told by our sages and eminent personalities. The next chapter explains to some extent the results of Saturn on aspects to various planets. The plants included in this are Sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and the outermost planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Not much material is available on the nodes of Moon and these outermost planets. Whatever has been written, about them here is based partly on the material available and partly on my own experiences in practice.
