Saturn Cancer
Saturn in Cancer
by Richard Pellard
English translation by Julien Rouger

The interpretation examples that we are suggesting are very far from being exhaustive: they only show and outline a general frame describing the issues of the combination between a zodiac Sign and a planetary family. They should therefore not be taken literally. Each being brings indeed its own responses, more or less original, to the questions raised by the different combinations zodiac Signs and planetary families. There is no magic formula. Through using the R.E.T. and of the Theory of Ages, and combining logic, observation and imagination, you will be able to develop a thousand other possible meanings, a thousand other variations on the same theme. To find out which Planets and which Signs are dominant in your birth chart, do not hesitate to visit our website and build your free mini-astrological portrait thanks to our software Astrosoft.

A detailed interpretation of the meanings of a dominant Saturn in Cancer will soon be available on our website. In the meantime, we offer you the interpretation sections below. The first one begins by summarizing the meanings of a dominant Saturn (without Sign): the characteristics of the Planet in itself prevail indeed over the characteristics of the Planet in Sign.

The two subsequent sections give an overview of the combinations between Planets and Signs by associating Cancer on the one hand with the R.E.T. characteristics of Saturn on the other hand : Extensive existence (‘E’) and intensive transcendence (‘t’). Keep in mind that these texts are only valid when the relevant R.E.T. families are dominant as a whole : Jupiter-Mars-Saturn for the ‘E’ family and Mercury-Saturn-Pluto for the ‘t’ family. To deduce the characteristics associated with Saturn alone, you will have to disregard the characteristics associated with Jupiter and Mars for the ‘E’ family, as well as the characteristics associated with Mercury and Pluto for the ‘t’ family.

The saturnian profile

Saturne ‘tE’ : ‘E’ sens du concret ► ‘t’ esprit critique Famille ‘E’ — Jupiter-Mars-Saturne : sens du concret — Existence extensiveExtensive existence : You are a long-term oriented realist. Patient, careful, sceptical, thoughtful, you only take action after having explored all the possibilities, having seriously studied all the hypotheses and having thoroughly assessed the distant consequences of your actions. You aren’t scared of the complex, unrewarding and difficult situations that reality puts you in. Forever dissatisfied with established certainties and accepted explanations, you like above all else going further into your experiences, looking for the secret mechanisms that determine beings, things and situations. Your experimental scepticism incites you to check and double-check, to test over and over again the outside world before expressing any opinion whatsoever. For you, life is an inexhaustible souce of fruitful interrogations, a material to knead so as to squeeze out some buried truths. Thrifty, meticulous and methodical, your common sense is sceptical : your scrupulous and detailed observation of the facts of life makes you think that nothing is ever for granted, guaranteed or permanent.

Famille ‘t’ — Mercure-Saturne-Pluton : esprit critique — transcendance intensiveIntensive transcendence : You are never satisfied with anything nor anybody. Distrustful, serious, introvert, meditative, you are first and foremost keen on taking some distance from events, on withdrawing from the world so as to better collect your thoughts. You are fundamentally reticent about common views, about accepted rules and simple certainties. Solitude does not scare you : it provides you with the necessary time for pondering, for questioning yourself, for asking yourself essential questions. Withdrawn, sagacious, philosophical, taciturn, you are in search of an elsewhere and you easily cut yourself off from situations. Reserved, modest, conscientious, it’s difficult to extract an instant assent from you. Profound, earnest, a tad pessimistic, you thirst for understanding in order to stop deluding yourself. You carefully cultivate the virtues of lucidity, depth, detachment and indifference. Prudent, impenetrable, without any bombast, you cultivate in yourself a vibe of chronic dissatisfaction that makes you perfectionist and demanding, that incites you never to neglect the future and the unknown.

Cancer ‘E’ family — Jupiter-Mars-Saturn: sense of concrete — extensive Existence

Active-pragmatic Cancer

▶ Your strengths : you know how to delimit your field of action to make your efforts more effective. Patient, tenacious, cautious, organized, you do nothing before having carefully surveyed your territory to protect yourself from chance and correctly assessed your real capacities to manage the situations with which you are confronted. Your realism is both enterprising and defensive : you only launch into new actions when you are sure you can master the circumstances. Pragmatic and combative, you are nevertheless extremely thoughtful, master your taste for concrete activities and your material ambitions and tirelessly strengthen your achievements against the outside world.

▶ Your weaknesses : you tend to refuse to open up to anything that is not your own experience, your personal field of experience, your distrustful pragmatism, which no doubt makes it difficult to communicate easily with people who are very different from yourself. Everything that is not solid, tangible, measurable, acts on you like a repellent : you cook yourself in an anxious and defensive activism as if you never accumulated enough concrete securities to feel protected against the blows of fate. You spend so much time protecting the fruit of your efforts that you neglect many interesting opportunities. And since you would never want to miss anything, you are perpetually unsatisfied.

Cancer ‘t’ family — Mercury-Saturn-Pluto: critical mind — intensive transcendence

Critical-aloof Cancer

▶ Your strengths : you are characterized by a cautious and thoughtful skepticism which encourages you to distrust evidence, appearances and accepted speeches. Doubt protects you against illusions. Armored against too commonly accepted truths, you tenaciously and relentlessly pursue your research to understand the why of things. The unknown, the multiple, the complex, the uncertain are your domain of choice, territories that you strive to master. Refractory and independent-minded, you are not afraid of the isolation that your banter or your disturbing questions can bring you : on the contrary, these are so many cactus thorns that protect you from others.

▶ Your weaknesses : worried, anxious and perpetually dissatisfied, you tend to withdraw into your shell where you are assailed by a thousand thoughts and problems that confuse you and prevent you from opening up to the world. Inquisitive, always on the defensive, you often get lost in your inner labyrinths where you self-analyze to excess. Deeply allergic to others whom you always suspect of wanting to invade you, you are only too good at frustrating any attempt at cooperation with acerbic remarks and paradoxical reasoning that confuse your interlocutors as much as they lead you astray.

Les significations planétaires

par Richard Pellard

620 pages. Illustrations en couleur.

La décision de ne traiter dans ce livre que des significations planétaires ne repose pas sur une sous-estimation du rôle des Signes du zodiaque et des Maisons. Le traditionnel trio Planètes-Zodiaque-Maisons est en effet l’expression d’une structure qui classe ces trois plans selon leur ordre de préséance et dans ce triptyque hiérarchisé, les Planètes occupent le premier rang.

La première partie de ce livre rassemble donc, sous une forme abondamment illustrée de schémas pédagogiques et tableaux explicatifs, une édition originale revue, augmentée et actualisée des textes consacrés aux significations planétaires telles qu’elles ont été définies par l’astrologie conditionaliste et une présentation détaillée des méthodes de hiérarchisation planétaire et d’interprétation accompagnées de nombreux exemples concrets illustrés par des Thèmes de célébrités.

La deuxième partie est consacrée, d’une part à une présentation critique des fondements traditionnels des significations planétaires, d’autre part à une présentation des rapports entre signaux et symboles, astrologie et psychologie. Enfin, la troisième partie présente brièvement les racines astrométriques des significations planétaires… et propose une voie de sortie de l’astrologie pour accéder à une plus vaste dimension noologique et spirituelle qui la prolonge et la contient.
