Saturn in our birth chart (natal chart) speaks primarily about the value system, inner core, wisdom and testing by difficulties. Saturn is the planet of wisdom. And wisdom, as we know, a person can gain in two ways – either through the acquisition of experience and knowledge, or through suffering. Each of us builds our value system, our inner core, brick by brick throughout our lives.
In each person’s chart, the position of Saturn shows the person’s priorities, the beliefs that he gives preference to. If a person himself does not consider it necessary to have at least some convictions, the forces of Saturn put him in situations from which he cannot get out without certain vital decisions. Therefore, Saturn is often called an indicator of karmic difficulties that befall a person in order for him to gain stable and strong willpower.
A harmonious, well-developed Saturn in the horoscope indicates that a person “stands firmly on his feet,” he has a value system that helps him not to break down in the hurricane of life’s adversities.
And a weak and undeveloped Saturn shows a person’s lack of knowledge, his inability to cope with difficulties, his reluctance to comprehend the wise laws of life.
