Saturn sky does not make things easy. It commands to get to work
and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are very important
to this planet. This planet rules over the hard parts of human body
- bones, teeth, knees and ears. Since it is a slow moving, cold
planet, it also indicates recurring problems, that do not cause
total damage in one stroke, i.e. cold, cough, bronchitis,
rheumatism, TB, pyorrhea etc.
