Gates of Hades: Saturn's Role in the Cosmic Balance of Life and Death
An insightful examination of celestial bodies reveals their profound impact on human understanding and experience. The sun, emblematic of the soul, serves as a beacon of life and illumination, while the moon is a representation of the physical body, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between the spiritual and the corporeal. This duality is further explored through the lens of ancient philosophies, illustrating how humanity has historically correlated earthly events with celestial occurrences. The sun and moon's interplay is emblematic of the Yin and Yang, denoting the essential balance of opposing forces that govern existence. As the dialogue progresses, we encounter the distinctive characteristics of other planets, each contributing to the intricate narrative of human life. Mercury, representing communication and intellect, embodies the essence of thought, while Venus symbolizes the complexities of love and desire. The juxtaposition of Mars introduces themes of conflict and violence, highlighting the tensions inherent in human relationships. Jupiter's benevolent nature stands in stark contrast to Saturn's ominous presence, representing the spectrum of human experiences and the dualities of fortune and misfortune. The conversation culminates in a philosophical discourse regarding the implications of these celestial representations on our understanding of life and the afterlife. Saturn's association with the gates of Hades prompts reflections on mortality and the cyclical nature of existence, challenging conventional perceptions of hell. The notion that hell may not be a fiery abyss but rather a cold, desolate place invites a reevaluation of our beliefs about life, death, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Through this exploration, we are left to ponder the intricate web of existence and our place within the vast tapestry of the cosmos.

Transcript
This type of light that each gives off.
Speaker A:Now I said earlier, they started looking up and then look down.
Speaker A:From this looking up first, then down, they started making more observations and correlations with the stars.
Speaker A:Not just with the light they give off, but things like when this was here, this happened.
Speaker A:When that was there, this happened.
Speaker A:Over time they built up significant significations for these wanderers from not only the light that they give off, but from earthly observations as well.
Speaker A:The sun came to signify the perception of the soul.
Speaker A:The soul is the light inside your body.
Speaker A:When you leave it, you will return back to light.
Speaker A:The body is just a vessel.
Speaker A:Which brings me to the moon, which signifies the physical body.
Speaker A:Without a body, the soul cannot roam the earthly plane.
Speaker A:Another Yin Yang between the sun and moon.
Speaker A:The merger of soul and body.
Speaker A:Before I move off the sun and moon, I want to mention one last thing.
Speaker A:Yin Yang, one last Yin Yang.
Speaker A:Father and mother.
Speaker A:Sun is father, Mud Moon is mother.
Speaker A:Now Hermes, Mercury is the messenger of God and the bestower of critical thinking.
Speaker A:It signifies our thoughts and communication.
Speaker A:Aphrodite.
Speaker A:Venus signifies love and desire.
Speaker A:But air, Mars signifies war and violence, hence the name fiery one.
Speaker A:And the Yang to Venus, you know, love and desire.
Speaker A:The opposite of love and desire would be war and violence.
Speaker A:Zeus, Jupiter is begetting of good things, hence its name, the radiant one.
Speaker A:Jupiter is big and bright, like it's bestowing gifts.
Speaker A:And lastly we have Kronos.
Speaker A:Saturn.
Speaker A:I listed this one last because it's the last one of the visible planets.
Speaker A:Bring back the yin and yang.
Speaker A:If Saturn was the last of the visible planets and the sun was the big, bright and the giver of life, Saturn, the last has to be the opposite of that.
Speaker A:If the sun gives life, what must Saturn, I mean Saturn, Satan, I mean Saturn do take life.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Saturn was not seen as a positive planet.
Speaker A:How do you come from the underworld?
Speaker A:Through the gates of Hades, which would probably.
Speaker A:Which was seen as the second house because the fourth house is.
Speaker A:Was looked at as being subterraneous under the underworld.
Speaker A:So the second house is the house right before the sun comes up over the horizon.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:And to get to the upper world, we got to come through the gates of Hades.
Speaker B:Second house.
Speaker A:Second house.
Speaker B:Who do you think?
Speaker B:Which is also probably why the 8th house is considered death and.
Speaker B:And rebirth.
Speaker B:Yeah, this is a polar opposite.
Speaker A:So how.
Speaker A:Who do you think is standing at that gate?
Speaker B:Kronos.
Speaker A:Saturn, the sun.
Speaker A:If the sun rules the summer, longer days, shorter nights.
Speaker A:But Saturn is the ruler of winter.
Speaker A:Shorter days, longer nights, sun rules the day, but Saturn rules the night.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:So Kronos, Saturn is standing at the gates of Hades.
Speaker B:So there's a yin and a yang there as well.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Just a little side note.
Speaker A:You've heard the saying, I hope you burn in hell.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:You heard that?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Well, actually that's a flawed concept because
Speaker B:you won't burn in hell, you'll freeze to death.
Speaker A:Man, you smart.
Speaker A:A more accurate statement would be I hope you freeze in hell.
Speaker A:Hell is cold, not hot.
Speaker A:Things grow in the sun and in the summer, but fall off and die in the winter.
Speaker A:Warmth, growth, life, cold, no growth, death.
Speaker A:Would you prefer warmth or cold?
Speaker B:Warm.
Speaker A:So do you think hell is warm
Speaker B:or cold is cold?
Speaker B:Some people's personal health could be.
Speaker B:Could be.
Speaker B:Could be warm, I guess maybe if they're like a night birth and they're good with Saturn.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:But contextually, you know, we.
Speaker B:I get what you're saying.
Speaker B:Contextually, I understand completely.
Speaker A:Yeah, because, you know, the sun gives life, life brings.
