Saturn planet Shani

Saturn is a main planet in Astrology - Also know as Shani

The higher Saturn is a Monk in meditation, the lower is a cold, ruthless individual, disconnected from his feeling nature and other people. It is through Saturn that we come to experience ourselves as a separate being and make peace with our limitations or not, the ultimate limitation being death itself. Saturn rules the nervous system and through it creates painful complexes that reinforce our separation from God, through form and concept. Anxiety, fear, sorrow, insecurity, loss and life’s painful lessons are the many ways that Saturn teaches us to give up attachment to form and not take things so personally. His neuroses will teach us perseverance and self-control, as we will hide behind a wall of self-sufficiency to avoid being seen in our state of weakness.

However, at some point something much larger than what we can control will force us to our knees, like the death of a loved one, a chronic illness or an excessive amount of responsibility. These crises force our pain into the open where we must face them. Those who cannot learn from life and the hard lessons of Saturn will be reduced to bitterness and foolishness in old age. The greatness of Saturn is that he teaches us sensitivity to others and a respect for all; for once we have suffered we become sensitive to all who suffer. Once his ability for control is properly aligned with Dharmic purposes, Saturn gives the perseverance and concentration to put into practice what we have learned, not just acknowledge it mentally. He allows us to be alone to work through our salvation, which is the only possibility.
