Saturn שבתאי
“The restful one,” whose name is parallel to that of the Sabbath Day; the Seventh day; the day of rest. Esoterically, Saturn embodies Time itself. In the midst of time’s passage, Saturn remains still and silent, drawing all endeavors to a close.
The name Shab•tai comes from the word She•vet (see below) and Sha•vat (to stop activity, sit) and its derivative Sha•bat (Sabbath), but it is also related to the Roman god, Saturn, which gave its name to the seventh day, ‘Saturday.’
In Hebrew, Saturday is called שבת Shabbat (Sabbath), which obviously is related to the Hebrew name of Saturn, שבתאי. Literally, שבת Shabbat (Sabbath) means “ceasing,” and it is Saturn that brings the “ceasing” or ending of things.
