IMO 'timing' and 'time' are most definitely intrinsically inextricable, although obviously that is merely my opinion and certainly not 'gospel'Well... 'timing' is not quite the same concept as 'time' as in 'the passage of time'.
Intriguingly, so-called "Hellenistic" astrologers numbered amongst their techniques one referred to as "Time Lords" aka "Hellenistic Time Lords"For real. Astrology is all about time.... But I'm speaking specifically of the, ahhh, individual perception of the phenomenon of time, I suppose; our personal relationship with it.......The Chronos/Cronus relationship is one that interests me. People say they are different symbols though. I'm not sure.
And it's interesting how people report an experience of 'time speeding up' with age.
Just wondered if astrology has anything to say about any of this. If not Saturn, then whatever
The following 98 words are sourced from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CronusAll through my Saturn return I had this weird feeling that I was hanging suspended in time and being tied up like the symbolism of The Hanging Man in the tarot.

Wikipedia is Wikipedia.

...
Kronos = Saturn
fwiw IMO Moog, the very name Saturn is itself connected to time via the Ancient Greek name for Saturn i.e. Kronos Ancient Greek: Χρόνος which means chronological time. Interestingly, according to Wikipedia the Greeks had two names for time, Χρόνος and καιρόςDo you feel there's any connection?
Yup. And you also quoted from Wikipedia. So where does that leave us?
Exactly. Kronos/Cronus the Titan.... not Khronos/Chronos (Gk)/Chronus (L), the "personification of time" (also from Wikipedia). Whatever accreted meanings may adhere to Saturn these days, he was Cronus the Titan before he was anything else.
In astrology Shukra represents love, romance and sexuality, artistic talents, the quality of the body and material life, wealth, the opposite sex, pleasure and reproduction, feminine qualities and the fine arts, such as music, dance, painting and sculpture.
IMO fwiw 'Saturn' is aka Chronus who is aka Kronos who is aka Old Father Time. There are a number of words linked to 'time' and 'timing' that also link to 'Saturn' via 'Chronus', 'Kronos' et al for example the word 'Chronological' basically = 'Time Order', because when things are put into 'chronological order' they are put in the order that things happened according to timeHmm can anyone help explain this a bit more? I didn't know Saturn was a fusion of Greek ideas like Mercury (Apollo, Hermes) and Venus (Aphrodite, Venus). I just spotted on a light search that in Roman times, Venus combined Aphrodite with new ideals such as culture. This seems to be a natural part of the movement of ideas across lands over time, is this what happened to Saturn? (p.s. now I want to know we refer to Mars for the sexual functions rather than Venus)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_%28mythology%29
