Controller of Life - SATURN

You are ruled by the ringed planet Saturn. He is the planet of Justice, Destiny and Retribution. He represents destruct- ion and regeneration. Great patience and perseverance are im- parted by him. This melancholy planet is responsible for the verdict imposed by Destiny.

As you are saturnine (melancholic) by temparament you will be attracted to Literature and Philosophy. Great poets and literatuers always had a saturnine background (Dante and Shaw) Concentration and contemplation are represented by Saturn. Contemplative Life will absorb you in its entirety.

You are cool and analytical when it comes to rational think- ing. You are also a master where shrewdness and business ins- ight is called for.

Your philosophical outlook on life will save you from many worries and anxieties.

Your main drawback is that you become too fatalistic ignoring the power of free-will.

You are always misunderstood by others. You endorse the prin- ciple " to be great is to be misunderstood ".

You always carry your cross consecrating yourself to the Div- ine even when the verdict of men and Fate go against you. Your life is always marked by strife and struggle.

In Vedic Astrology Saturn is the significator of Sorrow of the Cosmic Man, the sorrow inherent in the act of Manifestation. He is also the Mokshkaraka or significator of Liberation. Along with Jupiter and Ketu , Saturn play a promiment part in the native attaining to Self-Actualisation.

A powerfully posited Saturn is preferable from the perspective of Nirvana. Saturn rules over three constellations of the Sidereal Zodiac, Delta Cancri ( Pushya), Delta Scorpii ( Anuradha ), Gamma Pegasi & Alpha Andromeda ( Utharabhadra ).

An Analytical Review
--------------------

The zodiac sign representing this number is Capricorn. ( Do not confuse this with the birthsign in Astrology ) Capricornians are generally philosophers. They love the secr- ets of Nature and are ready to sacrifice their life for their chosen ideology.

Capricornians are fatalists. They believe that everthing is divinely ordained and all events have a purpose behind it. Amor fati ( Love of Fate ) is the core of their nature.

People under the influence of this constellation are great democrats and believe in the dignity of labour.

In a life marked by struggle and suffering the fortitude of the Capricornian is indeed surprising. Temperance is another virtue imparted by this constellation.

Negative Aspect
---------------

Saturn is the planet of suffering and he can make you carry the cross for a longish time. He will test your patience. He can create obstacles and hindrances and barriers to success make you worried.

Mantra

Saturnine Influence on Jesus

Jesus was born with Virgo rising, Jupiter, Moon and Saturn in Pisces, indicating the Messiah willing to bear the Cross of Golgotha. His number was 888 which when added gives us 24 and 2+4 = 6, the number of Venus, the planet of Love. The prophet of Love was indeed the embodiment of the goddess of Love, Venus. Saturn, the significator of sorrow and liberation,along with Jupiter aroused in Him the desire to redeem the world through Universal Love. His suffering life & martyrdom all smacks of Saturnine influence. Other divine personalities - Tagore, Aurobindo & Vivekananda also had a profound Saturnine influence in their natal charts.
