*Rudra* Characteristics of the Body Types 4. Saturnian Often used by Scholars, Priests, and Kings. Governing Characteristics: In classical astrology, Saturn, the ringed planet, takes the role of the teacher. Saturn can also be like a father figure, doling out lessons, restrictions and discipline. Saturn works well with abstractions, ideals, and profound thought. The type is constructive, patient, and reliable. Saturn rules the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the skeletal system and the function of abstract thought and reason. It is one of the dominant glands in the organism. Physical Characteristics: With the anterior pituitary influencing the development of bones, those who have this gland predominating will usually develop long bones and a large frame, a long head with prominent nose and jaw, projecting cheekbones and yellow teeth. Saturnian types tend to be tall, with a serious but gentle appearance. Saturnian types can be well‑balanced because the dominant gland keeps the other glands in good working order. The Saturnian type has good reasoning ability with a tendency to grasp the larger picture. This shows up as slow‑thinking and speaking, slow movements (thinking before moving). Saturnian types will often subtly dominate the environment with their presence. Saturnian types can suffer great hardship and depression; they can also be heartless and cruel. Uncle Sam is a classic Saturnian type. He knows what is best for you and the country—relating the part to the whole. Although Saturn is a masculine planet, the current ideal female model is a Saturn‑Solar machine: tall, thin, fair, ethereal, with an aura of entitlement mixed with fragility.
