 Saturn,
the great malefic, is the planet furthest from the earth and is the
last planet that can be seen by the naked eye. He is the god of doors;
he rules the first house of the physical body and the eighth house of
death.
He is the slowest moving of the seven planets, travelling at
approximately 0deg02 per month. Saturn denotes boundaries, time,
constraints, structure and wisdom, and he is the natural ruler of
fathers.
