About Saturn
In Emy´s words:
“The question that anyone interested in Astrology must face is the question of Good and Evil. In the beginning, everyone is concerned with knowing if their ruling planet is beneficial or evil if the zodiacal sign is favorable or unfavorable.
If we seek to benefit from these studies, we must sweep away all these prejudices from the beginning.
How would it be possible that the Creator, in His Wisdom, could have created above and around us, forces and radiations to which we would be subject to evil, to be later condemned by the Omnijust?
All creation speaks of the Creator, and for this reason that it is in nature, it expresses His Wisdom. Our lack of understanding the Divine laws of Nature, our struggle against His Wisdom, is what causes our suffering and not the planets or the zodiac signs.
All of them produce in our energies and vibrations that feed different qualities and virtues. Take for example Mars and Saturn, the most maligned. Mars in part is considered to be a more evolved planet than Earth! If he is more evolved than we are, why is his vibration one of violence, anger, and hatred?
Analyzing the capacity of energy, courage, and willpower, according to the position of the planet Mars in the horoscopes, we will actually see that courage and energy are graded according to the intensity of the influence of Mars. But if a man uses this energy received, or given, for purposes of selfishness, egocentricity, provoking fights, wars, and violence, or not controlling the energy, distorting it into passions, who is to blame? Mars or man? Hasn’t a man received, with the Divine Spark, consciousness?
Doesn’t the right and duty to dominate nature apply not only to the enjoyment of nature below us, but also to the energies within us?
In the case of times of war, negative influences from Mars were noted.
That means, the influence of Mars could not be turned by humanity and, in the absence of receiving the stimulus of the energy that comes from Above, a man shows all his lack of control over the energy, which flows through aggressiveness.
Although by the march of the planets we can calculate when this human weakness is processed, let us not blame the planet for the imperfection.
In August 1956 there was an approach of Mars, which shone brighter than Venus in its best days. The people watched and spread rumors about the ill omen of this celestial phenomenon and, on that occasion, I wrote the following article:
“Let us look with confidence to the wonders of heaven, which are above us, and seek to control and understand the reason for our own imperfection!”
Paracelso also says that defending the most beautiful of planets, with their shining ring, revolves majestically around the Sun.
Everyone who is interested in Astronomy tries to direct the telescope to admire this sidereal beauty and we, in Astrology, defame it as being the origin of our cross, of our weights and obstacles.”
Is it possible that a planet radiates at the same moment, completely opposite vibrations, causing the reaction of faith, trust, loyalty, sincerity, security of some and skepticism, distrust, coldness of feelings, and pessimism in the neighbor? If so, the reaction provoked by the eternal vibration is not in the evil of the radiating planet, but in the degree of attunement capacity of man. This is what Paracelsus expresses when he declares:
It is not the Saturn above us, but the Saturn within us that torments us.”
By “Saturn within us” he means our lack of faith, inexperience, and distrust.
In fact, the vibration of Saturn awakens in us the ability to make use of what we have achieved by our own efforts, by ourselves or by our ancestors, the ability to deepen and experience, to remember the Wisdom that every trial, every cross that we have was imposed lead to progress and evolution, the ability to understand that “not a hair falls on our head without the Will of the Fatter”.
In such cases, the Saturn vibration of faith, trust, constancy, faithfulness, a sense of duty and responsibility develops, and the cross becomes lighter.
There are temperaments and states of mind, wherefrom the past we remember what was difficult, what we thought we didn’t deserve. As a result, we face situations with fear, mistrust, anguish, depression, pessimism, and lack of faith and the same cross becomes heavy.
With the naked eye without our human vision, we can only see seven celestial bodies in the solar system.
Saturn is the step of the visible planetary scale before the invisible planets, starting with Uranus.
Saturn is the planet that awakens in us the proofs, which, in the scale of evolution, lead us from the visible to the invisible. He is the master of the school we must face to move from high school to college.
Whoever reasoned, who went deeper, who passed the tests of the past, faces them (the tests of Saturn) with joy, loving his examiner. Those who did not know how to reach faith and trust in their hearts, feel anguish and fear in the presence of the schoolmaster.”
