Michael Maier's alchemical text, Atalanta fugiens (1618), Saturn (the prima materia or raw substance) being transformed through the calcinatio,

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 would float in water

"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
