Saturn or Kronos [Time]

devoured all his children except Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. Jupiter means air, Neptune water, and Pluto the grave. These Time cannot consume.

Saturn is a very evil planet to be born under. “The children of the sayd Saturne shall be great jangeleres and chyders … and they will never forgyve tyll they be revenged of theyr quarell.” (Compost of Ptholomeus.)
