Introduction

To

Saturn

 

 

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 to us some of our most difficult and

frustrating lessons in life. Most people, in

fact, know that it is 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 its 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, then, is the real purpose and goal of Saturn to give us the

‘signs’ of right and 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 then begin reflecting on the Positive,

Life-Improving Saturn improvements which can dramatically improve our

lives!

 

Saturn 'Signs'.....

 

 

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:

To get more rest! Consistently and deeply. Of course this is the problem.

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

then becomes deep fatigue, and dis-ease which then turns into

sickness!

 

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 ‘tired’ or

do some extra Yoga if I’m feeling 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

healing and resting 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,

because it sounds so obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people

don’t realize how deep this really is.

 

Healing and rejuvenation is the real purpose of

Saturn!

 

Saturn's complete purpose

is not just giving us the negative results of us 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

 

The qualities of ‘delay’, ‘frustrations’

and ‘disappointments’ are all strong Saturn experiences. Whenever we're feeling these qualities of delays

and frustrations, this is due to Nature or Saturn giving us a clear

negative, malefic Saturn moment. The purpose

of this is to alert us that we're desiring something faster then

it’s supposed to be coming back to us.

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

things, not over how long it takes the results 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 come back to us;

this is the Saturn timing. We don’t have

control over how long.

So, we have this sense of delay and 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 a 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 gaining in

life is to give! The key to giving is 'having'

enough energy that you can keep giving! Saturn is about developing

the ability to give. Saturn is truely, about developing our

'havingness'.

 

Some Other typical Saturn

Symptoms:

 

o

Depression

o

Anxieties

o

Worrys

o

Phobias

 

Now, these are also

important Saturn experiences. Though all of

these could also be related to the Moon, too, 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. And, the solution

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

 

Final Saturn

‘Signs’.

 

Some other Saturn

experiences that are also very troubling.

 

o

Losses

o

Grief

o

Suffering

o

Loneliness

o

Isolated ness

o

Set-backs

 

All of these experiences in life are Saturn in nature. These experiences, however, can be 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, like a loved one, or relationship.

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

intentions. Nature gives us back all our

rewards. So, staying up late, straining, and

not getting enough rest has its affect.

 

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 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 your 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 do 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 experientially.

 

When you experience the

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

anxiety of death, disease and loss, go away permanently!

 

Conclusion of Saturn

Remedies:

 

 

These 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, 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 full

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, or 5 years, its

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 'negative' or so-called Malefic 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!

 

We have never been taught

that the key to tomorrow, rests in how well we slept the night

before! " Rest is the basis of

Activity " , is a great Saturn Remedy 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 successful

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 positive

Saturn nature.

 

o

Daily 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's 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 feel and 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 to be more and more

in-tune with the Moon! Most people in

business, pick up stress and strain every day due to violating this Moon

cycle of rest and activity.

 

o The

Yearly Cycle

Finally there is the Yearly

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 Natural 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.

 

I encourage people all the time to be more restufl,

more inward, more healing oriented during the Winter Months.

As a result your spring and summer months will be more

fruitful!

 

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 and 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 here to protect

and guide us, not restrict or in-slave.

Saturn’s rules and laws are for our

liberation!
