The Astrological Body Types:: SATURN

Saturn is Cronus in Greek Mythology. KRONOS (Cronus) was the King of the Titanes and the god of time. He ruled the cosmos during the Golden Age after castrating and deposing his father Ouranos (Uranus, Sky). The specific kind of time we need to equate Saturn to is the destructive, all-devouring force of time. The inescapable, impending end of time each of us has here on Earth is the heaviness that possesses Saturnian archetypes.

Saturn traits:

𝙉𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚: Inflexible, Cold, Melancholic, Inhibited, Critical


Saturn has rulership over the bones, cartilage, ligaments, teeth, sense of hearing, the skin and nails. Saturn is a “bilious type” and therefore the Liver and Gall bladder have significance for this type. Saturnian people are more likely to have problems with their liver than any other type and these problems are usually structural. Saturns should always be on the lookout for a yellow tinge to the skin or any weakness of the Liver and Gall bladder.

Saturns are the tallest of the types. Anyone over six-feet tall has to have at least a little Saturn in them. They also usually have dark hair and tend to be lanky. I liken Saturnians to the tall bass players standing in the back of almost any band. This position comes naturally to Saturn because he is both sky, large, and has a fondness for string instruments.

Saturnians are usually the wall flowers of the group, for they are too large to move freely in large groups of people. They can also be the comedians and have a tendency towards sarcasm. Think of all the comedians who use kinda dark humor: that’s a Saturnian thing!

There are plenty of beautiful Saturnian types, but the Saturn type is not inherently beautiful. Abraham Lincoln is a great example of a Pure Saturn type. And you will remember that he almost died in a dual because he had such a nasty mouth.

Unfortunately this is true of many Saturnians, for they do not have a natural love for their fellow man and find warmth a difficult trait to capture. Saturnians will frequently prefer the company of animals and the great outdoors to that of other people!

This is an orderly type inclined toward neatness. Saturn is very systematic and methodical in their way of being. Many astrologists and palmists describe Saturn as the “balance wheel” because they are bringing order to their surroundings (sometimes at the cost of pleasure) and that doesn’t make they a usual crowd-favorite.

Saturn people need to learn how to keep their opinions to themselves even if they are right! They can have a tendency to be a gloomy Debbie Downer when they are out of balance.


Lapis Lazuli and Blue Sapphire are beneficial stones for true Saturnians.


Saturn’s day of the week is Saturday.

Saturnian ears are large and long-lobed. The ears are spiritually significant for measuring the amount of wisdom in a person. Saturn being the wisest of the seven archetypes, has large ears to show his great wisdom.

The Saturnian jaw is narrow and angular with a strong squared or pointed chin. The jaw line, neck cords, and Adam’s Apple are all quite visible. It is natural and expected to see a lot of Saturn’s lanky ligaments and muscle structures because they are such a stringy type.

Remember that pure types are very rare and most archetypes are mixed with others. For instance, Cher is a great example of a Saturn-Venusian mixed archetype. Venus archetypes frequently produce singers (as the Venus mount is also called the “Mount of Melody” and the throat chakra is located very close by).


Elvis Presley is another example of a Saturnian-Venusian archetypal mix producing a musician. Elvis is Capricorn which is ruled by Saturn, contributing to his Saturn prominence. Elvis Presley was a very hard worker and suffered from depression; both traits common for Saturn-type people.
