Saturn

In Western astrology, Saturn is the Ruling Planet of Capricorn. According to Manilius, Saturn is sad, morose and cold, and presides over the left leg. It is associated with the principles of limitation, restrictions, boundaries, reality, crystallizing and structures. Before the discovery of Uranus, Saturn was also the ruling planet of Aquarius; however, many astrologers still use Saturn as the planetary ruler of both Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn is called "the Bringer Of Old Age" in Alan Leo's book What is a Horoscope?, and is considered to represent the part of a person concerned with long-term planning.
