5. Translator’s Commentary (Dr. U. S. Pulippani)

Dr. Pulippani offers a nuanced distinction between Saturn’s two signs:

“Capricorn bends to work; Aquarius stands firm in thought.”

  • Capricorn (Earth): Labour, duty, physical hardship.

  • Aquarius (Air): Ideas, philosophy, rigidity of principle.

On Pisces he notes:

“Pisces rules the feet—care is required. They forgive more than is wise, sometimes to their own loss.”
