Saturn is the planet of limitations and structure. As the last planet visible to the naked eye and bearer of its distinctive rings, it is known as the "Greater Malefic," though its influence brings necessary discipline and wisdom through constraints.
Saturn is associated with boundaries, responsibility, and maturity. It represents one's approach to discipline, duty, and life lessons. Saturn's position in an astrological chart is believed to influence a person's sense of authority, stability, and capacity for perseverance. It is often associated with karma, time, and the crystallization of experience into wisdom. Saturn's influence can be seen in a person's attitudes toward structure, commitment, and their ability to handle life's challenges. Saturn is considered a key factor in understanding the material and karmic dimensions of an individual's life path.
