Saturnian

Of the sixth

Saturnian means relating to the planet Saturn or, in older usage, to the Roman god Saturn.

In astronomy, it describes Saturn's features: Saturnian rings, Saturnian moons.

The god Saturn ruled a mythical golden age, so Saturnian can suggest that era's peace and abundance.

In astrology, those born under Saturn's influence were thought melancholic or sluggish—saturnine captures this sense more commonly now.
