the process of burning away dross and black bile.

How heavy is your Saturn? Self mastery, autonomy, discipline, responsibility, limits, reality

constant purging, cutting away fears, restrictions, bounds

"Saturn is a gas giant made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. Saturn is big enough to hold more than 760 Earths, and is more massive than any other planet except Jupiter, roughly 95 times Earth's mass. However, Saturn has the lowest density of all the planets, and is the only one less dense than water — if there were a bathtub big enough to hold it, Saturn would float.”space.com
