Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun in the solar system, known for its distinctive, broad ring system.[1]

According to Sybill Trelawney, Saturn has a "baleful influence" when it is in a prominent position at the time of a person's birth, causing dark hair, short height, and tragic losses early in life.[2]
Parvati Patil claimed that people needed to be extra cautious when handling hot things whenever Mars and Saturn made a right-angle. [3]
