Why does astrology make Saturn sound so bad?

Question

They make it sound like anything having to do with Saturn is bad or unfortunate. Why? Who the heck decided to make saturn so bad? What about Capricorns there ruled by the planet Saturn. Are they just a bunch of unlucky fools. One of my best friends is a Capricorn so I'd like to think not.

Answer 1

Both Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon were capricorns. If everything in astrology is good, there is nothing bad to talk about. So they put the blame on Saturn.

Answer 2

Saturn is a "teacher" I'm Cancer and had Saturn in ,y house for 2 years and a few months. I had "growing pains" during that time. I have some out of that a new person. Now Saturn has been I'm my money house (house 2). My finances have turned for the worst only because Saturn is telling me to rethink my how i treat money. It will leave my money house on Sept 2. If I have learned anything from Saturn things will be better no matter how bad they still mat seem. So, what you're saying is a little true because sometimes the truth hurts. Have a nice day, Mark

Answer 3

Saturn (to control)
Planet of Time, Discipline, Responsibilities and Hard Work

* limitation
* discipline
* responsibility
* rejection
* must do

The symbol for Saturn is the inverted Jupiter sign. With Saturn the crescent of the moon is below, or subjugated to matter. This also means practical. The keyword for Saturn is control. It means the tendency to limit, discipline and give responsibility. The young person, as he or she grows older has to take on responsibilities and give up his or her youthful ways. Saturn can reject and expel. Saturn is referred to by old astrologers as a malefic, a planet that brings ill fortune. This is neither right nor wrong. Saturn does indicate areas where we have been deprived, and where our deepest fears lie. It is a sad fact that what we most want or need, is what we cannot accept or what we fearfully reject. It therefore indicates what we must do in order to avoid problems. Saturn's Greek name is Cronos (Kronos), Old Father Time. Saturn ruled the world until he was overthrown by his son, Zeus, (Jupiter). His time had come and he had run out of time. Saturn particularly rules our subjective time.

Saturn rules Capricorn.

Because Saturn expresses control, it can also mean holding back or delay. It can produce a shortage of time, or too much time. Jupiter, the Greek god, expanded out of the control of Saturn and became the ruler of the Olympians.
