What is Saturn the planet of?
Saturn is the planet of structure and responsibility. This planet brings lessons of discipline, practice, and commitment as it tests you to push past your limits. When things don’t go your way, Saturn helps you recognize that every mistake is a life lesson—there are no failures, only learning moments. The ringed planet is also known as the planet of karma because it provokes a spiritual cause and effect in your life.
What does Saturn mean in astrology?
Saturn represents your boundaries and obligations. The ringed planet's motto is “I achieve,” as it guides you toward fulfilling your goals. You can’t achieve anything without a little bit of structure, so Saturn keeps you organized and focused on the task at hand.
Saturn symbolizes hard work. With this planet’s leading characteristics being restriction, discipline, obligation, and ambition it’s no surprise that it holds high standards. But without these standards, you wouldn’t be able to succeed. Saturn builds dedication in you so you will be committed to achieving your goals.
Saturn is a planet that makes judgments. If this planet rules your birth chart or you’re a Capricorn, you find joy in explaining things to other people but can’t help but criticize them for their lack of knowledge. You’re charismatic at heart, but others might find you discerning or feel like you’re talking down to them. But you can’t blame them for your ambitious nature—that’s all Saturn’s doing! A planet is especially prominent in your birth chart if it’s in one of your angular houses: First, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Houses. You can find this out by reading your birth chart.
What zodiac sign does Saturn rule?
Saturn rules Capricorn. This planet and zodiac sign go hand-in-hand as they are both driven by hard work and discipline. Saturn influences Capricorn's responsible and competitive qualities. To achieve, you have to compete, even if sometimes that’s with yourself. If you’re a Capricorn or Saturn is in one of your angular houses, you’re most likely a disciplined overachiever. The angular houses are the First, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Houses.
