“In the horoscope”, Astrid said, “one should not regard Saturn only as a negative force. After all, it is Saturn that gives all ventures the basic structure, authenticity and duration, the order and the ground, the supporting skeleton that has dispensed everything merely accidental and desirable. Having a good Saturn in the birth chart is in league with the objective, not to say historical, necessity. He will act methodically and on the large scale, and he gives the gift of concentrating on the essentials. Limitation will always be part of Saturn, and all the better for those who have the ability to have self-control, without which no significant achievement is possible. Constant expansion alone does not work. Only through Saturn is the real structure of an enterprise recognizable. Saturn wants to create and give shape, in a rational way, and he has tradition on his side and he can hold his ground against temporary tendencies challenging that spirit. … He is interested in the overarching structure and the staying power of his designs.”
