The Wandering Stars
Saturn
The far watcher at the old boundary, keeper of time and consequence.
Saturn is the outermost of the classical planets and the greater malefic, the lord of limits, time, and old age. It governs structure, patience, and everything that endures by discipline, as well as loss and the lessons loss teaches. The tradition respects Saturn rather than fears it, for its trials are the price of anything lasting.

The greater malefic of the old reckoning. Saturnine work is slow, serious, and best undertaken deliberately.
