The details are highly speculative. For example, do we know that the southern hemisphere was so cold most life could not survive? or that one hemisphere was all land and the other all ocean? Was the ocean frozen? or that light did not diffuse through the plasmasphere to light up the south with a dim light? Or were there intense auroras? It must be remembered that the group of Saturnists do not agree on every detail. After Velikovsky let it be known that he thought that the Earth was once a satellite of Saturn, those inspired by his work walked through that door. Talbott was first and very soon after Cardona and Cochrane followed. But there were many other versions proposed, such as that of Roger Wescott, Lynn Rose, and others.
Anyhow, where is this sequence Saturn did flare and expels Venus ?
Here is some more speculation...I opt with Wal Thornhill's model that Venus was born after the proto Saturn brown dwarf entered the plasmasphere of the Sun and became unstable. I suspect that this instability was caused by an encounter with Jupiter after proto Saturn had been in the Solar System for an unspecified time. And that encounter caused a fissioning event of Saturn. Thornhill thought that the polar configuration was formed after proto Saturn entered the Solar System...Wal thought it was a scaled up version of the linear arrangement of the pieces of Comet Hale Bopp as it entered the Jovian system. Note, that Cardona thought that the polar configuration existed as Proto Saturn traveled through interstellar space, before proto Saturn was captured.
