Description
The first part of this book is an historical survey of Saturn’s meaning, starting with the early Hellenistic astrologers and continuing through modern times.
The second part examines the philosophy and worldview that provides a context to make sense of the fullness of Saturn’s traditional meaning in the modern world.
The third part is a series of essays on Saturn related topics, focusing on the difficult and forbidden subjects that our modern astrology has lost sight of.
This book will give you a rich, complex and multi-faceted picture of Saturn’s meaning that you can use to deepen and enrich your astrology work.
(Note that this book does not include my writing on the topic of Saturn as feminine. That will be included in a future volume.)
Maud –
This book does exactly what it promises. Obert explains the original meaning of Saturn and how it changed through time, especially during the past century, as the world view in our western societies changed. I loved Obert’s philosophical and almost poetic approach to the meaning of Saturn.
This is the kind of book that takes some time to fully digest as it really makes you think about the meaning of life and death (well, especially death since this is about Saturn).
It’s fairly short but I’ll be reading it again and again.
I highly recommended this book to anyone who believes that decay and death is an unavoidable part of human life, one which is both terrible and full of wisdom.
I know that you must be very busy Obert, but if for whatever reason you decide to embark on the journey of writing another book on one planet, I vote for Jupiter, a planet that I struggle to fully appreciate.
