Valens faithfully chronicled astrological lore that was already ancient in his dayIn traditional astrology, houses, not signs, have strength or weakness; as modified by their ruling planets.
Valens has perfectly awful things to say about Aquarius and Capricorn, apparently due to their Saturn rulership.
two thousand years ago approximately
so Valens simply relayed ancient astrological principles
that included "perfectly awful things to say about Aquarius and Capricorn"
NEVERTHELESSPeople are always so quick to hate on Saturn
but a well dignified Saturn can really rule a chart
(I know this personally )
The greatest rewards are often given for the most grueling of challenges.
So Valens can suck it.
to be fair
Valens was NOT "quick to hate on Saturn"
If you read THE ANTHOLOGY
notice Vettius Valens remarks concerning Scorpio for example
