Saturn A New Look at an Old Devil

A major step in unveiling the truth about Saturn, so long interpreted as a “malefic” planet. This book traces the character of this most important planet through sign, house, aspect, synastry, and looks at its role in mythology. The author introduces us to Saturn and reveals the face of the Initiator whose price is honesty and whose gift is truth.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Saturn would be disappointed
This book has some serious weeknesses:
1. The author seems to be confused about the nature of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and thus she keeps on mislabeling the energies of these planets. She keeps on pointing out how misunderstood these planets are, and I think that notion applies to her first and foremost.
2. The book attempts to assimilate the occult perspective on outer planets, as it has been done by Alice Bailey, and the author seems to have bought wholesale into the Bailey’s theories instead of developing her own understanding based on her own experience. Granted, that is hard to do with Saturn because of lengthy time-span involved into such a study, but the book would be a lot better had she done so. Unfortunately now it has a ton of hints and poetic allusions to the occult nature of Saturn and its myth, but severely lacks solid psychological perspective. A good book on Saturn, considering the natural Saturn-Moon opposition, would be an in-depth study of emotion and it’s affect on how we function and build our lives. The author touches on it, but superficially. She talks about the pain of Saturn, but never explains why it is painful. She also talks about the rewards of Saturn, but doesn’t give clues on how to turn Saturn into being rewarding. Where does it stop being painful and becomes rewarding? As a result, you find a lot of correlations to your life in this book, but absolutely no info on how to transform it. Thus Saturn will remain for you after reading this book what he has always been –”The Devil” and “The Great Malefic”, something that will come and hit you on the head during the transit.
3. The writing style is nausating with “pie in the sky” metaphore. Saturn would appreciate a little more matter-of-factness and insight.

A la Bookslut Anne Rice in the Guardian Angels are the new Vampires. This makes perfect sense to me as Angels seem v.v. Saturn in Libra – clean, fluffy, godly and all. Whereas Vampires could very easily vibe Virgoan and a bit neurotic. All that fussing about blood types, diet, purity, having to keep totally regular hours or else they will disintegrate or whatever. So bring on the Angels!! And I would have gone ape over these Joey W Hill books when i was 14. Is that like a Lilith

SATURN INTO LIBRA – FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980! L.A. – THURSDAY 11.09 NEW YORK – THURSDAY 14.09 LONDON – THURSDAY 19.09 SYDNEY – FRIDAY 4.09 AM Technorati Tags: Libra , October 2009 astrology , Saturn , Saturn astrology , Saturn into Libra , Saturn Transit , Saturn transits
It’s a changing of the guard from 29th October 2009 as Saturn moves into a new sign - Libra. Astrology is primarily the study of cycles and the cycle of Saturn would, quite obviously, have begun when the planet itself was birthed. From a symbolic point of view however a planet’s cycle begins when it enters the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. As there are 12 signs of the zodiac the fact that Saturn is about to enter Libra, 6 signs away from Aries, is significant. (Note: for those of you new
My eye on the sky The Moon in Pisces conjuncts Uranus today and benefits from the mutual reception between Uranus and Neptune. I’ve not mentioned this before because for months and months the opposition between Saturn and Uranus has dominated these later degrees of the mutable signs but at this point there are 7 degrees separating which reduces the stress of that aspect. Mars in Leo is still squaring the Sun in Scorpio. These planets are also in mutual reception so passion plays. Meanwhile,

Commenting on the comments StephB writes on Saturn Leaves Libra… 7 years : You mentioned reflecting on what’s happened in the 4th, 5th, and 6th houses (from the natural chart, right?). But would it be more important to reflect on the last three houses that Saturn has transited in our own chart? In other words, are we still climbing the (natural chart) mountain even if Saturn is actually descending on our natal chart? StephB - no, it doesn’t translate. The quadrants are defined as show

Saturn moves into Libra on Thursday 29th October where he will stay until October 2012. The Aries/Libra axis is concerned with self and relationship. Saturns ingress into this space is going to force us to confront these issues. Is my relationship strong? Is there a good balance of give and take? What do I need and project onto others that I deny in myself? It is often the case in relationships of any kind that there is a certain amount of projection - we enter into them for a myriad of r
On Thursday Saturn makes a first tentative move into Libra. The last two and half years, Saturn has been in the critical, earthy sign Virgo. Saturn is connected to society’s rules, its basic structures, it’s backbone. Since the fall of Lehman Brothers there has plenty of criticism of traders, money dealers, bankers, etc. etc. etc. Virgo [...]
My eye on the sky Today is very similar to yesterday. The Moon is still moving through Aquarius so emotions are confused, detached, you might even say they’re disembodied. This basically a day of waiting. Tomorrow Mercury moves from Libra to Scorpio, a day later Saturn leaves Virgo so we are all waiting for this shift. While the entire collective shifts gears, Virgos are most sensitive, followed by Capricorn and Gemini who wake up in a new movie by the end of the week. See what is comi
