The mountain goat is used as a symbol of Saturn in the parascience of astrology to symbolize its laborious efforts to climb to the top of the mountain, the goat encounters many obstacles but eventually it reaches its destination. Before taking each new step, the goat makes sure it has a solid footing in the one before. Positive qualities such as careful and cautious thinking, tact, perseverance and a healthy acceptance of reality, duty and responsibility are all to be found in Saturn's terrain. This is the archetypal theme of the Saturnian nature which has consistently resonated with and inspired me, and proven constructive when deciding how satisfying an endeavor may be.
