Beautiful graphics, Thirdteenth!
To paraphrase Stephen Forrest, no planet is in the sky just to hurt us.
Traditionally it was just seen as self-evident that bad things happened to people, and Saturn became the primary astrological box in which those bad things got placed.
The shift to seeing Saturn as something other than the Greater Malefic was spurred by Liz Greene's book in the 1970's: Saturn: a New Look at an Old Devil.
Saturn does want something from us: maturity, self-discipline, and stoicism. He tends to reward his apt pupils later in life.
Waybread,
Maybe if you were from the boomer generation, the last generation who can enjoy retirement.
These days, old age doesn’t look very optimistic or rewarding. People are working until they drop dead or physically cannot anymore. More and more people are living paycheck to paycheck.
Such is Saturn’s slavery.
We need a book that wasn’t written 50 years ago when Americans were on drugs and partied constantly at music festivals.
