Saturne est la deuxième plus grande des planètes de notre système solaire, la sixième à partir du Soleil, et la plus éloignée visible à l'œil nu. Les anciens appelaient Jupiter et Saturne "les grands chronocrates", ou maîtres du temps, car les cycles de conjonctions entre ces deux planètes subdivisent le temps en grandes unités dont les cycles politiques et économiques sont observables.

Signification astrologique

La planète Saturne gouverne le signe du Capricorne. Saturne est notre testeur, notre enseignant, notre initiateur dans le zodiaque. Il régit le principe de limitation dans son expression positive et négative, et il peut montrer où il est nécessaire et bénéfique de fixer des limites. Par exemple, les limites des pouvoirs gouvernementaux sont une fonction de Saturne.

Saturne régit également le système immunitaire, ce qui limite la capacité des agents pathogènes à vous rendre malade. Mais Saturne peut aussi se traduire par des obstacles et des limitations physiques, psychologiques, sociales ou spirituelles. Il s'agit notamment du pessimisme ou de la culpabilité qui empêchent d'agir avec succès.

Saturne a d'autres dimensions. Il régit la structure, la concentration, la cristallisation et la forme. Dans la sphère sociale ou politique, il montre comment le pouvoir est organisé et est révélateur de la constitution d'une nation. Saturne montre comment une personne, une organisation ou une nation gagne en discipline, en responsabilité, en persévérance, en sens pratique, en organisation et en sagesse.

Inversement, il montre comment les personnes et les nations peuvent souffrir de pertes, de retards et de restrictions si elles n'incarnent pas ces qualités. Saturne et le Capricorne mettent les peuples et les nations au défi de "bien faire les choses" ou d'en subir les conséquences, parfois à long terme.

Saturn is traditionally known as a “malefic” and is often associated with unfortunate circumstances. However, it is not really a “bad” or “unlucky” planet. Saturn’s influence, particularly when in Capricorn, is supportive when a person or groups of people have acted wisely, practically and responsibly. It is then associated with wealth, honors, freedom of action, respect, justly gained and/or administered power, good government and an orderly society.

But since Saturn is a teacher and a tester, and since human nature is often marked by human folly, Saturn is associated with hard times, difficult challenges, recessions and depressions, delays, misfortune, debt, loss of honor or respect, periods of little or no opportunity, the limitation or loss of freedom due to increased governmental authority, and dictatorships and repressive regimes. Under its influence people are often pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, despondent and victims of their own sense of limitation.

Saturn tends to limit freedom. It gives you freedom only by your own self-discipline and the path of your soul’s initiation under the Great White Brotherhood. Saturn is associated with karma, restrictions, and long-term problems and it is a disciplinarian. Saturn will never allow you to keep what you have not lawfully earned. It will strip from you everything that represents ill-gotten gains, shortcuts, misuses of the will of God.

Saturn as a tester

As our tester, you might see Saturn as the instrument of the Ascended Master Lord Maitreya, the Cosmic Christ, testing you; or you might see it as Antichrist, depending upon your perspective. It doesn’t really matter. Under its influence you will be tested by forces of Light and forces of Darkness and by your own returning karma, positive and negative.

As well as being associated with the initiations of Lord Maitreya, Saturn is also associated with the work of Satan. It was Satan who brought the Saturnine initiation to Job, and the Saturnine initiation is being stripped of everything that you have that is not gotten by the attainment of the light. This is a very difficult period for servants of God, whether in church or in state, and especially should it be recognized by chelas of the Great White Brotherhood.

Satan became the initiator of Job in the absence of the Guru Lord Maitreya. Lord Maitreya was rejected in the Garden of Eden, and therefore the 144,000, as well as the evolutions of Earth, had to receive their karmic initiations through the laggards, through the Antichrist, and through the return of their own karma.

Passing the tests of Saturn

Today we are in an hour of the return of Lord Maitreya as the Cosmic Christ, the personal Guru. Therefore, as we face the energies of Saturn, we have to realize that we must first and foremost reject Satan as our initiator. We have an initiator: it is the person of the Cosmic Christ in Lord Maitreya, the person of the Saviour in Jesus Christ, and the person of your Christ Self as well as the ascended masters.

Once you earn your freedom under Saturn, you have earned it by self-mastery and you hold on to it by self-mastery. Without that self-mastery you don’t make it with Saturn.
