Saturn Occult Correspondences

Planetary Correspondences in The Western Occult
Tradition

Planetary Seal of Saturn. Catherine Beyer

Updated February 04, 2017

In the Western occult tradition, each planet is associated with certain qualities
that an occultist might wish to attract. There is also a long series of
correspondences for each planet: symbols, materials and objects that are
associated with the particular planet and can help to channel planetary influence.

Here are some common correspondences for Saturn, as recorded by Henry

Cornelius Agrippa in his Three Books of Occult Philosophy, whose works are
commonly referenced and reproduced.
Beneficial Influences: To bring forth, to make a man safe, to make a man
powerful, to cause success of petitions with princes and powers. Marsilio Ficino
and others also associated Saturn with intellectuals, whose minds are more lofty
and divine than those of common folk. This is because Saturn is the highest
planet in occult cosmology and therefore closest to God.

Intelligence of Saturn: Agiel

Saturn

Baleful Influences: Hinders building and plantings i.e. growth, casts a man
from honors and dignities, causes discord and quarrels, disperses armies. Saturn
was traditionally held as an unfortunate planet and strongly associated with
melancholy. Ficino insisted that Saturn remained hostile to non-intellectuals.
(Ficino certainly included himself among the ranks of intellectuals, and also
happened to be born under the influence of Saturn.)

Spirit of Saturn: Zazel

Numbers: 3, 9, 15 and 45.

Divine Names Answering to The Numbers of Saturn: Ab, Hod, Jah,

calculated and divine names associated.

Angel: Zaphkiel

Animals: Lapwing, Cuttlefish, Mole

Metal: Lead. Despite occupying the highest of the planetary spheres, Saturn, like
the Moon, is considered distant from the Sun (which sits between Venus and
Mars) and thus are the coldest planets in the system. As such, the lofty Saturn is
associated heavy, material lead.

Stone: Onyx
