Saturn was visible clearly in the night skies of over 2000 years ago, when Jesus was born, it was part of such an important planetary configuration that some scholars believed it to be the comet. Saturn was mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts, even earlier in AssyrianBabylonian sources, as the supporter of radical changes in society and in spirit matters. From this point of view Saturn can be assimilated to the prophet of the invisible god, because its nature and function want to give roots in the Earth to what comes from the cosmic depths, so that it can mature and evolve through the generations. In the Sumerian language its name was Anshar, often portrayed standing on the back of a bull, in order to underline its deep connection with the Earth and its function as reference point for any human progress. Stones, rockes, minerals are all its symbols. In stone the invisible hand of god has written the 10 commandments, the law that has sprouted good roots into the earth. With the stones transformed into menhirs people built magic circles, in close correlation with the solar movements. Those circles were perfect “machines� for connecting with cosmic frequences, as well as for healing and strenghtening the positive energy on Earth. These are only some examples of the mediating function of Saturn between Earth and Sky, between physical and spiritual.
