Saturn is both the most dreaded and the most sublime planet in the

field of Astrology. This is because the

purpose of Saturn is to give us back some of our most difficult and

frustrating lessons in life. Most people, in

fact, know Saturn that’s responsible for delays, frustrations,

losses, illness, dis-ease, suffering, grief, etc.

This is why Saturn has such a terrible reputation, as if it’s

the one, that’s causing these things. In

Truth, none of the planets ‘cause’ us our consequences. Instead we act, we think, we create actions from

our side, and those consequences or karmas come back to us through the

guise of particular planets.

There are some, however, that experience the positive side of

Saturn. Some, having an Exalted Saturn in

Libra, or Saturn in Own Sign’s of either Capricorn or Aquarius,

experience just the opposite of the normal, negative Saturn effects. For these lucky few, they exhibit more patience,

inner composure, calmness, and subjective happiness and success in

life.

These experiences are very important because they give us a hint

that perhaps Saturn isn’t all-bad, and only appears to be

troublesome. This is in fact, what we’ll

find when we realize that Saturn’s negative or malefic affects are

just that, influences coming to us, from our previous actions or

behaviors.

This is most obvious in simple Saturn scenarios like tiredness,

fatigue, physical body stress, tightness or pain.

In these examples, which are very good Saturn malefic

‘signs’, these are all examples of having strained, stayed up

too late, or not taking proper care of ourselves.

Once we understand this, and then begin getting more sleep, getting

a massage or doing some Yoga, these same dreaded, Saturn experiences can

go away!

 

This is the purpose and goal of Saturn to give us the

‘signs’ of wrong actions, thoughts and behaviors so that we

can see the results of our Saturn actions.

Once we accept that there is some Wisdom here for us, then we can

begin the New Saturn, more balanced actions that will change our negative

experiences.

 

I will now list the main ‘Symptoms’ of malefic

functioning Saturn and begin the process of Positive, Life-Improving

Saturn improvements which can dramatically improve your Life!

 

o

Tiredness

Tiredness is an easy one, because it’s obviously due to

staying up too late, or not getting enough sleep. The difficulty of

course is that we don’t ‘hear’ the Saturn sign

earlier enough so

we keep straining and then tiredness becomes deep fatigue,

stress, even chronic fatigue syndrome is a result of neglected

tiredness.

Solution:

Is obviously to get more rest! Consistently and deeply. Of course this is the problem.

We push ourselves for a variety of different reasons, and tiredness

starts becoming dis-ease which then turns into being sick!

The #1 thing I’ve

learned from Saturn is!

To pay better attention to

Saturn’s especially Negative or Malefic Signs, and then, quickly

adjust and get that added rest if I’m feeling

‘tiredness’ or do some extra Yoga if I’m feeling some

stiffness in the body.

 

This is the key to

understanding Saturn!

 

Identify what you’re

going through as some Saturn Sign or another, and then, do something to

give to that experience. This may be why

Saturn is described so often in terms of ‘Acceptance’ or

‘Surrendering’. We’re doing

something due to ‘our Way’ and yet we’re not achieving

the result that we’re wanting.

So, what we tend to do is try harder, or to strain, and then, that

small negative emotion or experience, becomes a bigger one! Physical Tiredness and Fatigue then can slip into

sickness.

 

o

Deep Stress

Deep Stress, then, can be

seen in this light, to be the

result of accumulated fatigue and tiredness.

If we don’t hear the

need to get more rest and continue acting or not getting enough

healing rest, then deep stress can result.

 

o

Sickness, Illness

Deep stress is the #1 cause of dis-ease and disease

and is often times called the cause of 75% of all diseases! So,

learning how tiredness, fatigue, then stress and dis-ease, are all

due to ignored Saturn consequences can be extremely

important.

 

Solution:

In the case of deep stress,

already we’ve been ignoring the more

superficial accumulation of tiredness and fatigue so far and the

superficial

fatigue has now become deeper Stress. The

solution then

will be to spend more time because the imbalance has become

greater.

Therefore, more patience is needed because you’ve been

ignoring the lessons too long, so take

more time.

 

For the Solution to ‘Sickness, Illness’, the

solution is to spend even more time. If

fatigue and stress has accumulated so much that sickness and illness now

result, then one should accept that even more time may be needed to do a

healing.

But, the formula is

clear. If sick, or having illness, the

Solution! Is to put attention on healing!

This may sound silly, but

most people don’t realize how deep this really is.

 

Healing and rejuvenation is the real purpose of

Saturn!

 

Not just to giving to us

the negative results of being out of balance, but the more we learn how to

take better care of ourselves, the more Saturn can become the planet of

Health and Healing!

 

o

Delays, Disappointments, Frustrations

 

There’s a very unique ‘delaying’,

‘frustrations’ and ‘disappointments’ qualities

that are all strong Saturn experiences.

Whenever you’re feeling these qualities of delays and

frustrations, this is due to Nature or Saturn giving you a negative,

malefic Saturn moment. The purpose of this is

to alert you that you’re right now; desiring something faster then

it’s supposed to be coming back to you.

In other words, we have control only over the initial actions of

things, not over how long it takes the result of that, to come back to

us. So, if we’ve sent out a letter to a

friend, we did the action, put the right stamp on and mailed it. But, how long it takes for that action to bring

back its fruits, this is the Saturn timing. We

don’t have control over how long.

So, we get this sense of delay and the natural frustration that

comes from that, and then disappointment. The

truth is, we created this whole thing! We set

this up, because we don’t understand something about karma. We’re getting things in direct proportion to

how soon we should. Not understanding this, we

get irritated, even mad because things are taking too long.

It doesn’t mean however, that we wait around and mope or do

nothing! We’re still free to keep doing

and giving. Let’s say we’re making

a sales call. We’ve pitched our product

and the person is meeting with their company head.

We have to wait. But, we’re still

free to contact someone new and start and new train of events. They call this in business, having a number of

‘irons in the fire’ so to speak.

Eventually your seeds will bloom and bear fruit!

The key is to be patient, and to keep doing and giving. The key to gain in life

is to give! The key to giving is having enough

energy that you can keep giving!

 

Some Other typical Saturn

Symptoms:

 

o

Depression

o

Anxieties

o

Worrys

o

Phobias

 

Now, these are also typical

Saturn experiences. Though all of these tend

to be also related to the Moon, because these are mental imbalances or

states of emotional dis-ease.

 

Solution:

Again, the Saturn solution is to create balance where there has

previously been imbalance. Though the solution

may be to strengthen the Moon in one’s chart.

 

Final Saturn

‘Signs’.

 

Some other Saturn

experiences that are also very troubling generally.

 

o

Losses

o

Grief

o

Suffering

o

Loneliness

o

Isolated ness

o

Set-backs

 

All of these experiences in life are also Saturn in nature. These however, are some of the most difficult to

understand because we don’t always see what we’re doing or

might have done to deserve these experiences.

For example take ‘Losses’.

Let’s say we have lost some important papers that we need for

an up-coming meeting or we ‘loose’ something that we thought

was important. Could be a loved one, a

relationship, whatever.

In the case of ‘losing’ something material, this may be

the result of rushing or not getting enough rest.

The puzzling part is we think just because it’s important we

shouldn’t be given this set-back! The

truth is, however, that Nature doesn’t go just with our good

intentions. Nature gives us back all our

rewards. So, staying up late, straining, and

getting unclear, of course forgetfulness is possible.

 

 

Solution:

So, instead of blaming circumstances God or Fate for our

disappointments, we need to hear what Saturn is saying. The very moment that we take more rest, we will

find a solution! How often have we been

looking for something, our keys, our glasses, or someone’s

name: “Oh what is his name?” and

the very moment that we give up, put our attention on something else, then

bam! That thing or thought pops into our minds!

 

This is a great Saturn

solution! The very moment we let go, we

surrender! then Nature brings the fulfillment to us!

We don’t have to do! We only have

to Be, better!

 

Some of the other

‘Losses’ that one can experience, loosing a loved one, a

relationship, a house due to fire, money losses, and on and on are harder

to understand. But, we can find them in our

charts! Finding them in our finds can then

give us great insight and inspiration to accept that we’re meant to

have such and such an experience.

 

One possible general reason

for these types of losses is due to attachment.

Quite often we loose a relationship because we’re being

attached to ‘that’ which is not right for us. We loose a loved one and the grief is because

we’re being attached to that person, or that body and we’re

unaware of the Eternity of life.

 

This of course is the

deepest Saturn mystery, death. I say it this

way: “The 3 D’s of Saturn are:

Dis-ease, Disease and Death!”

Even the deepest quality of Death is an important life

lesson.

 

As Lord Krishna says in the

Indian Vedic poem: “Stand up oh

Arjuna. Do not grieve for these

relatives. In truth no one dies. Everyone is eternal so why grieve for their

mortality!”

 

When I first read this

passage, many years ago, all of a sudden I got it.

Of course! No one dies, life is

eternal, I knew that, but everyone goes around acting and perceiving that

everyone is mortal!

 

This is the deepest Saturn

wisdom of all, that life is Immortal and Eternal!

And individuality and personality due continue as well! But, the solution is not to only know this

intellectually, but to evolve one’s consciousness till one KNOWS the truth of this.

 

When you experience the

immortality of the Self, of consciousness then the grief, the worry, the

anxiety of death, disease and loss, go away!

 

Conclusion of Saturn

Remedies:

 

 

These now are the primary Saturn remedies that I

recommend:

 

 

#1

For all manners of Saturn dis-ease, imbalance and grief, I

recommend Meditation.

 

Meditation is the most

powerful Vedic tool for developing the mind, creating balance in both the

body and mind and as a result creating more happiness, health and

success.

 

Meditation gives deep rest

to the body and mind. Deeply rooted stresses

and fatigue are immediately eliminated producing more energy, dynamism and

strength and clarity of mind.

 

All Problems in life are due to

weakness!

 

All problems in life are

due to a lack of inner development of our innate human

potential!

 

Did you know that we use a

very small portion of our potential? Some say

as little as 10-15%. Even modern medicine says

we use only about 20% of our brain matter.

 

 

What is the rest for? The rest of our unused, un-developed human

potential is our Future! The purpose of life

is to develop our potential!

 

If we do this, every day,

meditate, and develop ourselves then, every day we grow in more wisdom and

less stress and fatigue.

 

I can hardly tell you what

it’s like to be meditating for over 35 years, now! I first learned in the Fall of 1970, and have every

day for all these years meditated, at least twice a day!

 

After a week, you’ll

feel better! After a month, you can hardly

believe the change! After a year, you’re

beside yourself. After 2, 3, 5 years,

unbelievable!

 

All problems in life are due to a lack of development

of our mental, emotional and creative

potential.

 

Saturn represents the fullness of our inner

nature.

 

This is why Saturn is

called Shiva! Shiva represents the full

potential of the Absolute Self, and is the true nature of

Saturn.

 

When you’re

experiencing any Saturn symptoms, know that this is just Nature saying,

“Come on, develop your inner resources!”

 

o

Saturn Knowledge

The 2nd thing I recommend to people is that you study

Saturn. The Knowledge of Saturn is the most

important secondary remedy for improving Saturn.

If you don’t understand the importance of rest, or

rejuvenation, then one continues to do, and strain.

One remains powerless to change and improve because the key to

self-development lies in doing less and less!

 

Who ever taught us that the

key to tomorrow, rests in how well we slept the night before! Rest is the basis of Activity, is a great Saturn

expression.

 

The Knowledge and Wisdom of

Saturn is crucial for taking the steps to become more in-tune with

Saturn.

 

o The

Saturn Within One’s Chart Contained

within everyone’s charts is a precise and specific formula of

self-development that’s vital for balancing Saturn and turning any

malefic functioning Saturn, into a more happy and balanced one.

 

Discover within your chart,

what is the particular lesson and Saturn instruction that is

needed!

 

 

o

Become More In-tune With the Rhythms of Life

At every moment we’re all involved with various rhythms of

Nature. Each day there’s a rhythm going

on. If we’re in-tune with that rhythm

then life progresses smoothly. If we’re

not, then fatigue and stress result. Studying

these rhythms and learning how to be more in-tune with these rhythms is

one sure way of strengthening one’s own innate, inner Saturn

nature.

 

o The

Day’s Rhythm Each day goes

through 2 cycles of Rest & Activity. We

rest at night, and that has everything to do with how well we feel and

function, the next day. These two cycles are

intimately connected together. If we’re

suffering any ailment during the day, we can look to the health of our

rest phase. Most people are NOT in-tune with

their daily cycle. Most people do not get

enough rest. The most important

‘rest’ cycle of each night is between 10pm – 2am.

Ayurveda says this rest cycle is the most important of the entire

night. If there was any 4 hour period that one

should be resting, it’s this one!

 

o The

Monthly Cycle

Then there’s the rest and activity cycle of each month. The Moon rules the rest and activity of our entire

planet. All the species, planets and life

forms in our world are encouraged to rest when the Moon is Waning, and to

be active, and to grow, during the Waxing cycle.

Watch how you ‘feel’ for 2 months.

See, if you don’t find a direct correlation between how you

feel, and what the Moon is doing.

When the Moon’s Waning, see if you don’t need more

rest. Be more on the inward stroke, get more

rest during the Waning cycle, and then watch and see if you don’t

find yourself more full of energy and dynamism as a result.

Do more during the Waxing

cycle and Do Less, during the Waning cycle.

 

If there was one thing I

could teach people in business today, it would be how to be more and more

in-tune with the Moon! Most people in

business, pick up stress and strain due to violating this Moon cycle of

rest and activity.

 

o The

Year Cycle

Finally there is the year cycle

or rhythm. Each year all the planets and

species of our World go through growth and then resting or hibernating

cycles. Man is the only species that has

learned how it can ignore this most basic Nature cycle of rest and

rejuvenation. Being more in-tune with this

cycle, also can have a very healing and restorative affect on one’s

health, happiness and success

 

 

So look at your Saturn signs, now differently.

Don’t see them as the product of fate and hopelessness! Look at them as the intimate, loving Signs of a

just and careing Saturn Nature of Life.

 

This is very easy to prove!

 

Take 1 month, and follow any of these simple Saturn remedies and

you will notice much progress in any of the very distressing, and

debilitating negative or malefic expressions of

Saturn.

 

Saturn is about life! Learn to live

within life’s laws and vibrations, and grow and prosper. Nature’s rules and laws are hear to protect

us and guide us, not restrict or in-slave us.

Saturn’s rules and laws are for our

liberation!
