Thanks for this great, nuanced piece Jon. This felt like a sincere attempt to grapple with the moral ambivalence of this archetypal power—appropriate to the precarious and confounding times we live in—that nonetheless conveyed a sense of genuine reverence for Saturn that can only come from a lifetime of experience.
I applaud your attempt to strip away the dysfunctional cultural baggage that has accumulated around this archetype by bringing the hard-won gifts of critical self-reflection and healthy skepticism to interrogate these cultural platitudes and expose their inadequacies. In doing so, you pave the way for a more enriching and sacred relationship with Saturn to take hold.
