saturn and conspiracy theories - 1/16

the other day i made a tweet about kronos' story and how that connects to capricorn + aquarius placements !! kronos, the god of time, devoured his children in fear of a prophecy that said one of his kids would overthrow him. kronos is the greek equivalent of the roman saturn

saturn, the planet of time, governs the signs of capricorn and aquarius. a lot of the capricorns and aquarians i've met over the years have somewhat of a 'conspiracy theorist' personality — much like kronos did

i ran a poll asking capricorn and aquarius placements if they believed in conspiracy theories or had interest in them; the majority of people voted yes !!

something i find relevant as well is that saturn rules research, fright, and paranoia. it also rejoices in the twelfth house which deals with premonitions, prophecies, and intuition. this is why saturnians have a natural tendency to reject face-value information + approach situations with more suspicion than others

i think these characteristics of saturn are exactly why conspiracy theories are so interesting to saturnian placements !! capricorns and aquarians are very scientific people, so these conspiracies scratch this inherent "itch" that they have to dig into things deeply
