Saturn has influenced us in so many ways. Did you know that Santa was based on Saturn? Or that duality in it’s most infant phase is just Saturn energy? As one of my mentors Debra Silverman says, Saturn is like the principle-if you’re doing what your suppose to be doing-you may be nervous, but overall you’re excited when he shows up-but if you’ve been ditching class and avoiding your responsibilities, a call to the principles office is scary.

The burden of responsibility is one of their main features. Saturn comes around to squeeze the shit out of your life, to see what still holds ground after it’s done. What wasn’t strong enough-simply isn’t good enough for you. Saturn is seen as an angry patriarchal or a wise old shaman-depending on your phase and your perspective.
