nyt spoilers:

the word saturnine doesn't refer to the gloomy atmosphere of the planet Saturn. in alchemy, the seven known celestial bodies (the sun, moon, and 5 observable planets) were associated with the seven known metals. Saturn was associated with lead. saturnine means leaden, heavy, etc. and came to mean gloomy by metaphorical association with those terms
