Saturn in the signs
Saturn in Taurus
Saturn in Taurus builds slowly and holds on. Discipline goes into security, property and the body; fear is of want, and the structure is a life that cannot be taken away. Patience is the strength and inertia the cost. The work is to let value be something other than possession.
| Saturn signifies | limits, discipline, time |
|---|---|
| Taurus is | earth, fixed — steadiness, pleasure, what lasts |
| Sign ruler | Venus |
| Saturn here is | peregrine at most degrees — a wanderer without a home here |
