1his influence as especially by the imperceptible and subtle manner in which his influx determines the vitality of the physical organism of those he influences.
2Mars arrives like a lightning-bolt, and lets it be understood at once that the evil supervenes.
3But Saturn is exactly the opposite.
4His nature is slow and patient, artful and furtive.
5At least half the suffering of our world is due to the action of this planet and, in reality, nine tenths of humanity's ills are due to the malefic rays of Saturn and Mars combined.
6Through Mars is committed the passional and unconsidered crime, rarely guilty of premeditation.
7Saturn is the opposite: he meditates all his projects most carefully before carrying them into execution, and rarely commits a mistake.
8On the Intellectual Plane:
9Saturn rules the higher group of egoistic sentiments and the whole of the faculties of reflection.
10Those dominated by his influence are solitary, reserved, slow in speech as in action.
11They express the highest form of reasoning; in consequence they are generally studious, scientific, and arguers of great logic and depth.
12They have a tendency to exclusivism, for which reason the hermit is the true type of this planet's action.
13His subjects excel in all occult studies.
14On the Physical Plane, the only good Saturn can confer is to affirm intellectuality, to cool the passions of the egoistic individual careful of his own interests.
15But the individual who manages to profit by the greater of these vibrations may count himself very happy, for Saturn, with all his aspects and positions, indicates misfortune rather than success.
16By nature Saturn is cold, and tends to confer a strong tendency to avarice".
17The Martinist Astrologer JULEVNO teaches us that Saturn: rules the bones, the joints, the spleen, the right ear and the knees.
18The qualities he gives are: melancholy, chronic illnesses; he inclines to solitude, to avarice, and has under his dominion all that is old, solitary and sad or grave.
19Specific illnesses of Saturn are: those of very slow development, chronic fevers, rheumatisms, paralyses, falls, and deaths by asphyxia or suffocation.
20SATURN ILL-DISPOSED in a chart generally signifies a person haughty, odd, coarse, attached to their own interests, fearful, suspicious, gloomy, lazy, astute, of vengeful spirit, superstitious, avaricious — capable in certain cases of inclination to lust and to drink, but not to marriage, save where it be for interest.
21SATURN WELL-DISPOSED in a chart, those ill influences are greatly lessened, and he then designates a person grave, severe, of much reflection, studious, of deep judgement, with a propensity to abstract studies — religious philosophy, geometry, mathematics, medicine, chemistry or alchemy — or to agriculture, mines and the other activities related to the earth.
22They will be an economical person, seeking to build a good and especially stable material base.
