Esotericism sees the 8 as symbolizing a resurrection into a higher consciousness, and representing the eternal and spiral motions of cycles. It is this cyclic function of 8 that has come to mean success/failure and give it it's organizational powers. Behind all of this is the fact that 8 is really 4 (earth) doubled and therefore implying that 8 means intense involvement in material matters, money-making, industry and commerce, earthly power and all of 'the things of this world'.

Saturn was once thought to be the farthest planet in our Solar System since it was the last one that could be seen with the naked eye; because of this it's properties were those of a boundary maker (ruler). Saturn takes 30 years to orbit the Sun and is the second largest planet (after Jupiter). It has a traditional image of hollowness and frailty which is quite amazing considering that the entire planet could float on water with it's low density!
