in classical myth, Saturn = Cronos, the god of time and decay — who devours his own children.
Symbolically, Saturn governs:
Time / mortality / aging
Discipline and limits
Endings, decay, rebirth through endurance
So while Saturn isn’t “death” in the same sense as Pluto (the underworld), it is tied to the passage of time, loss, and inevitable decline — the temporal aspect of death.
Capricorn energy often faces mortality, grief, and responsibility with stoic realism, not escapism.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) relate to material cycles — birth, decay, and renewal.
The Earth receives the dead — burial, compost, transformation.
It also represents stability after loss — “dust to dust.”
So yes — the earth element naturally connects to the physical process of death and rebirth, in a grounded, not mystical way.
Capricorn represents the winter solstice — the darkest point of the year, when the sun begins to return.
That’s why it symbolizes:
Endings that lead to renewal
Perseverance through darkness
Wisdom gained through suffering
