OK. Mind blown. I've been carving away at this post for a bit now and tonight Jake Kotze flicks this link to a post on Transformer's blog which beautifully links Jupiter and Saturn together. My post that you are now reading really links both of these planets together further however I've felt that during the writing of this post I have been missing something. I now have received that gift that I have been hanging out for in the form of that post from Nov 9 of last year. Thanks, Jake and thanks Chris at Transformer, you both have assisted in zooming out (Or is it zooming in?) the perspective of this tale of two G'(i-ant)S.
So the planet Saturn's the result of the initial battle between the forces of creation and destruction. It has been said that as soon as the energy known as Gaia manifested, Saturn while in his original form of the grim reaper knocked her down and proceeded to kick her around. It was looking like it would all be over before it began...
Eric Dubay did an amazing job there. At the end of the post Eric states "Is this all just divine coincidence or is our perception of Saturn and the other planets being manipulated by the Masonic magicians at NASA?"
Back this node of the web...
Quick recap, Saturn/darkness/death/limitation/time is smashing the initial manfestation of Gaia before she's barely even formed. It was looking like life was going to miss out on sewing the initial threads of what we understand as the space we now feel we materially occupy and all matter that is.
Then the Elohim stepped in.
The Elohim/Sun/Light rolled that scithe weilder up into a ball and stored him with the label "Saturn". Saturn - 6th planet from the Sun. A Gas Giant, Father of Zeus, made of hydrogen.
I've seen this baddie around me a lot lately. I welcome your company, Old Man Death. Regardless of his current planetary state, he's still ruling over some heavy factors that we all have to deal with. As mentioned above, he is darkness, time, death and limitation. It's only light that can overcome him.
Now this is Ol' Man Death/Time's astrological symbol:
I see 'h'. I also see a plus/positive '+' cross and a more crucifix like form of the same basic cross/x symbol. I feel that the numeral 5 is hidden in there. There are a few different iterations that are accepted as the symbol for Saturn, the following being one of them:
Quite 5ish indeed. I catch an 'S' off that version too. I'm feeling like this is Aum-like too if you spin it right...
But you can spin Saturn's symbol to make it look like another planetary glyph.
Take this humble depiction of Saturn's astrological symbol:
Rotate it 90° to the left...
You know where this is going.
Flip it horizontally and ZAP!
This treatment actually makes Saturn's symbol a doPPelGänGer for Jupiter's symbol:
Apparently Saturn's symbol is meant to look like an old scithe/sickle used to cut wheat crops.
As Saturn's been around for so long, he's been looked at from both ends of the give-take spectrum. The scithe and the sickle were tools that facilitated harvest, not the tool the Grim Reaper used to mow down men. It seems we require an entity to point a finger at regardless of which way the pendulum has swung. Funny to see which finger we do point his way...
Life appears to give death the finger. Death appears to give life the same gesture - without flinching. Many of those alive will flinch at the thought of death and giving it the finger is all we feel we can really do in the face of such a formiddable force. I am all for embracing Saturn while I am here. I wont run because I know I can't hide. The scithe metaphor really assists that embrace (And opens up a whole can of worms when you think about how and when wheat is used symbolically in literature or visual art - but that is one for another time).
Back to The Reaper!
When I was a younger lad, there was an AIDS PSA on TV. It went a little something like this...
So I guess it's fair to say that there was some heavy imagery depicting Saturns Dark side imprinted on the class of '87. 241 cameos in the AIDS Line phone number at the end of the ad.
Back to the Elohim. They brought about light in order to rescue life from death. After the great war, they resided locally as our Sun/Son/Star. Therefore we are seeing a symbiotic relationship between local astral bodies. Life is death and death is life. I like how Jake Kotze puts it. I'll paraphrase a bit - Life is not the opposite of death. Birth is the opposite of death. Life is before/after birth and before/after death.
Jon Kidd aka Accidental Alchemist has this awesome video on Saturn. Check it...
At 4:55 Marge Simpson hands Lisa Simpson 42/Jupiter dollars. The web widens with Jon's Kalifornia Death Club vid. It appears as if Bradd Pitt is Pop Kulture's embodiment of Saturn:
Manly P Hall talks of the image of an old man and a youg child as being representative of Saturn.
This makes me think of "Lone Wolf and Cub". Lone Wolf or ElL-OZ floW.
Tiger seasoned
Saturn rules Capricorn and as Manly P Hall states, Capricorn is the beginning and the end. Life and death. Capricorn kicks in on December 22, or the northern hemispheric Winter Solstice - when the Sun/Light/Elohim/Christ is at its lowest point. Capricorn is represented as a goat. Pan being a goat god then has a capricorn/saturnal flow to him. This is furthering the Jupiter links as Pan and Zeus/Jupiter were allies in Greek mythology. Jupiter not only has a moon called Pandora, but also has a moon named Pan.
Checking out Saturn's moons further we see that Enceladus has tiger stripes.
Saturn is linked to Satan, just like Jupiter is linked to the light bearer, Lucifer. Arthur C Clarke's 2010: Odyssey 2 Jupiter is ignited in order to produce a second sun and on Earth it it referred to as Lucifer. In fact to most, Satan and Lucifer are one and the same.
Recently, the wedding ritual has been on my mind. I recall wedding rings being linked to Saturn worship - 'til death do you part, then you slip on mini Saturn/Death rings - that's a move only synchers would make, right?
Finding out that Jupiter too has a ring system is quite interesting in the building of these links between these two local gas giants.
Climate change on Earth has been attributed to these two. In fact - as that link states, the center of gravity for our solar system shifts away from the sun, relative to Jupiter's and then to Saturn's positions. May 23 2010, Jupiter and Saturn Align in opposition. They do it again on August 16 2010 while also forming a T-Square with Pluto.
If you throw up the victory/bunny-ears/antenna/peace-sign you are throwing up your Jupiter and your Saturn finger.
