Symbols - What does heaven look like
SATURN
The video provides a detailed explanation of Saturn symbolism and its links with the Tarot and Enneagram, but in the following charts I have also listed some of the attributes of the SATURN Intelligence, obtained principally from the books by Michel Gauquelin . Additional attributes have been obtained from the books by Jeff Mayo plus some other modern authors.
The SATURN archetype is ordered, structured but also a dash conventional . Whatever is attained is attained by hard slog and not through inspired blue sky thinking
