As Jupiter signifies expanding nature, Saturn stands for restriction. While Jupiter will be extravagant Saturn will penny pinch. Saturn is about structure, discipline, and prefers to be quiet or even isolated.

Saturn people can be serious and introverted. A benefic Saturn in an individual's chart can enable them to complete long-range projects and bring the resonibility in completing their degrees in university. Saturn people can be statesmen and leaders of the working classes. Saturn understands poverty, isolation and restrictions and is often found championing causes for the underprivileged in society.

A malefic Saturn can make a person an accomplished criminal as they themselves have felt rejected by society and feel justified in taking their hatred out on other people. Thus they can become shrewd planners and thrive as leaders in underground crime. They can be their worst enemies as an intensity of hatred mounts and delight is taken in this negative contemplation.

Saturn causes the most painful diseases such as leg fractures, cancer, skin diseases, paralysis and arthritis. A weak or malefic Saturn in a person's chart is mainly responsible for delays and restrictions. Saturn can bring depression especially when it transits the natal moon in one's chart.

Saturn ultimately causes a deeper higher awareness within our self, but only through our own isolation, restrictions and obstacles. This seems rather drastic, yet that is the karmic nature of Saturn in our charts, whether benefic or malefic.

Saturn people generally are tall and very thin. They have long hands and a long face often with sunken eyes. They will have beards and hair can be thin or balding, through worry no doubt. Prominent veins, yellow and protruding, are also a feature of Saturn. The perfect Saturnian is Abraham Lincoln.
