Saturn Magic Square

Saturn Magic Square – what’s it about? Each of the 7 Planets, referred to in antiquity, had its own magic square. The 3 x 3, (pictured as the lower magic square in a unique way on the back of a tortoise) being the smallest that can be constructed, was the basis of the others. Also, a its single square sets the pattern of all larger odd numbered squares. It is not uncommon to analyze the center in contrast to the perimeter. With the smallest 3 x 3, one number (5) sits alone at the center; while the perimeter holds eight numbers that total 40

A 2 x 2 center holding with 4 squares in the middle here with numbers 7,6,10 and 11, becomes the center, and four such, with different numbers, is found at the core of all larger evenly numbered squares. Twelve numbers comprise the perimeter with their own significance. This 4 x 4 magic square invokes Jupiter.

Thus after first the creation of the the 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 centers, the 3 x 3 became the smallest magic square that could be built. It was referred to as the number code of the Lawgiver and also of the Engineer. Even, Solomon’s Temple was dedicated by both its obvious and secret codes of this magic square.

Emperor Yu, about 2,000 B.C.E., saw groups of markings arranged as floral patterns on a creature that he called a “divine tortoise.” The creature bestowed unto him the knowledge of the workings of all the sciences and arts. Finally, #5 was considered to be at the core of the cosmos because it sits as in the single square at the center of the most basic and therefore most important magic square.
