Saturn means structure and where anything fits in a structure - thus, a thing's place in a man or a definite, rhythmic, schedule and process. Because of this, all astrology is actually based on the Saturn function, for what the natal chart does is simply to establish your place in the space-time unfoldment of the solar system. It shows where you fit and your fitness for whatever happens to you. But it does not tell you what to do! It does not guide you, except by showing you a map of what is possible according to the structure of things at the place and the time you live. - Dane Rudhyar
[Saturn] sieves out from man everything that doesn't absolutely belong to him. Thus Saturn is a sieve, a separator, that makes a man to give up everything, to humble himself to the ground. But it also purifies, deepens, crystallizes, secures. It takes a man so low that a firm foundation is found. - Matti Tuuliainen, Finnish astrologer
