Saturn=common man. (struggles common to all of mankind – democrat). A strong Saturn would show a strong excretory system.
Saturn/Shani = Represents the misery and sorrows, which results from ignorance, or lessons required to be learnt from mistakes and sins carried forward from a previous existence. Saturn instigates one to behave in a manner that continues to cause misery due to psychological
complexes. Selfish activities as a result of ignorance may have been made in the past or previous life. Its effects carried forward in later life or next life, when the native may face difficult circumstances developing a psychological complex of neediness, which may motivate the native to again behave selfishly, until the past ‘karma’ is suffered.

Shani (Saturn) represents grief, although this rather harsh description must be understood in more depth, for Saturn is a very important and sometimes deeply spiritual influence in the horoscope. Saturn symbolizes everything that is deep, profound, thorough, long lasting, and serious in life. It is associated with all the aspects of life that teach one how to be more thoughtful and practical, as well as deep and profound. The condition of Saturn in the birth chart will indicate whether these values are put to good use by adding depth and a sense of meaning to life, or whether one refuses to "get serious" and therefore experiences the "grief" of being forced to comply with Saturn's demands. As human beings, we are supposed to perform certain rituals and social duties. If these duties are not performed, Saturn forces individuals to perform these duties. At appropriate time, he passes on rewards or punishments as the case may be to the individuals. In general, Karma can also be interpreted as the occupation / job as the case may be.
Saturn by itself tends to be fixed, tied to inertia, but its effects on other planets is to weaken them and render them mutable.
The location of Saturn in a sign of Jupiter will make Saturn give positive general signification results. Saturn debilitates Jupiter and hence signifies loss of Memory among other significations. Saturn detaches one’s consciousness or the Mana from accessing the source of knowledge as opposed to Jupiter, which connects the Mana to it. For that matter Saturn is a bitter enemy of the naisargika Atmakaraka, Sun and hence any studies done during Sani Kala is prone to forgetfulness. One should check out, saturn’s influence on the Lagna or the Paka Lagna to understand, how Saturn is playing mischief in making the person forgetting things. If Jupiter is placed with a strong Saturn, then also
the person might suffer failure of memory, as with mere association, Saturn can cause debilitation of Jupiter.
Saturn – Mercury and Venus are friends, Sun, Moon and Mars are enemies, Jupiter is neutral. Saturn :—He is strong in the dark fortnight, at night, when he i is retrograde, in his southerly course, while rising in the Ascend- ant, and while moving slowly. He is weak, middling and strong in the beginning, middle and end respectively of a Rasi.
Saturn – Capricorn and Aquarius are own houses. Libra is exalted house. 20th degree of Libra is deep exaltation. Aeries is debilitated house. 20th degree of Aeries is deep debilitation. Moolatrikona Aquarius 0 to 20 degrees.
An exalted Saturn in Libra is considered very good by many astrologers and it is believed that a person having Saturn placed in Libra in his horoscope is very likely going to be blessed by the good results of Saturn throughout his life.
An exalted and positive Saturn is capable of producing very strong positive results regarding the significances ruled by it, regarding the house it is placed in and the planets and houses it aspects, while on the other hand there is almost no planet in a horoscope which is as destructive as a negative and exalted Saturn. A negative Saturn placed in Libra can be destructive to extremely destructive and can destroy the significances of the houses and planets aspected by it altogether.
Saturn : Saturn signifies Air element. Saturn is exalted in Libra which is cardinal sign with air element. The excess air with Saturn in Libra allows Saturn to manifest its highest qualities in our life. In its normal or worst form it is the most malefic planet among all the planets.
Saturn Positive
Saturn should be exalted, in its mooltrikona or own sign, in a friendly sign, in exaltation in navamsha, own or its mooltrikona navamsha, or in the III, IX or XI house for good results to come about. It gives good results in an angle, in Sagittarius or Pisces; or, in association with or under aspect of a
beneficial, particularly a yogakaraka planet. There will be prosperity from activities in which labour is engaged, or from agricultural or mining activities. The individual will be religious. He will conform to social norms. He may assume a position of responsibility. He will be successful and earn a name for himself. He will turn wealthy. He will have a good house to live in. He will have vehicles and ornaments. He will do well in academics. He may get married. Children may be born to the individual. He will be happy and comfortable. Saturn will grant a high position, good clothes, an enthusiastic disposition and vehicles.
Negative
Saturn placed in the VI, VIII, or the XII house, in debilitation, or when combust will show adverse results. There may be danger from poison or weapons. He may lose his job or position. He may lose his parents. His wife and children may face illness or adversity. There may be displeasure of the government leading to losses or imprisonment. He may be involved in litigation. There may be industrial dispute, trouble from labour or insubordination from the employees. There may be loss of wealth and property. The individual will be in danger of falling seriously sick or he may be paralysed. Saturn brings limitation and obstruction, hindrance in self expression and self manifestation. As Jupiter is the great affirmer, Saturn is the great negator. Destruction is as important in evolution as creation is. In this respect Saturn is just opposite of Sun. In mythology Saturn is described as the son of Sun. Father and Sun are the greatest enemy of each other. Exalted Saturn can make us really free
from our fear of the limitation of the material realm in our life. Saturn is the death that takes us beyond the limitations of the mortal life, which is the gateway to the eternal Exalted Saturn is the Yogi in meditation. He can teach us complete detachment and independence from material desires in our life. Exalted Saturn can also deliver enormous wealth and power in our mundane life by giving us the concentration and discipline and will power and seriousness to achieve most enduring success in our life.
The native having debilitated Saturn in horoscope will be idiotic, wanderer, insincere, peevish, fraudulent, immoral, boastful, gloomy, mischievous, pervert and have a misunderstanding nature. Saturn gets debilitated in Aries which is fire element and cardinal sign. It is the same story where air and fire combines to deliver the uncontrolled miseries of the negative qualities of Saturn in our life. It will cause poverty, deprivation and want. It will keep us in bondage and will take away all our vitality on a physical or mental level.
During the sub-periods of debilitated Saturn one has to struggle more for success. One may suffer from bone fractures, pain in legs or spinal problems. One may get involved in leading the low class people or laborers. One does not enjoy good social respect.
Saturn/Shani is a malefic because he causes delays and separation from the areas he affects. He causes these difficulties as he indicates where we suffer the results of our poor karmas, and he will not allow us to reap the benefits of the areas he affects until the law of karma has been fulfilled. Saturn and Mars are producers of longevity and courage, just to name a few. Saturn produces immunity to disease and the ability to overcome obstacles (perseverance). It does not produce those obstacles. Obstacles, misery, delays and setbacks can be produced by any planet and have to do with their condition in houses and as house lords, but do not have to do with their karakaship. When Saturn is afflicted as a karaka, in other words, when its malefic points outweigh its beneficial points, then it gives a low tolerance for delays and setbacks. It gives a low tolerance for misery, so misery and depression overcome the person.
Saturn afflicted brings in diseases caused by wind and phlegm, ignorance, tendency to steal, etc., irritability, calamities, inertia, physical and mental debility, sarcasm of women and servants and children, dislocation of the limbs and jealousy. If Saturn is favourable, it denotes abatement of sorrows, association with old women, increase of servants and iron goods, headship of a town, acquisition of buffaloes and growth of varaka grain.
The one planet which actually causes concerns when it goes retrograde is none other than the most feared planet in Vedic astrology, the Saturn itself. This is the only planet which does show some negativity when it goes retrograde in a horoscope, even if it is otherwise positive in a horoscope. A retrograde Saturn can show negative effects towards some of the significances ruled by it in a horoscope, depending upon the other factors present in a horoscope. It can make a person have a high ego, be very demanding and over ambitious for material gains among other things. The deadliest effects of Saturn can be seen in a horoscope, if it is negative, retrograde and at the same time placed in Libra which is its sign of exaltation. So be careful if you have a retrograde Saturn in your horoscope as it can cause mild to serious negative effects depending upon the other factors present in the horoscope even if it is otherwise positive in your horoscope.
Saturn and Mars when retrograde would not only cause miseries and physical disabilities but also they would sometimes give notably good results. Saturn when retrograde would appear to be a great Yogakaraka and give notably good results.
Saturn becomes extremely powerful if posited in the western side of the zodiac. Usually he gets digbala (directional strength) if posited in the West. Retrograde Saturn if posited in the ascendant
(especially in the Eastern side), at a birth-chart, causes havoc. It is a great danger to the longevity of the native. It is because of the fact that malefic planets in retrogression will always give bad results. Saturn becomes too weak and utterly powerless if oriental or eastern. The first house represents health and body and so retrograde Saturn if posited in the lagna causes premature death. Saturn is said to be combust when it comes within 15 degrees on either side of the Sun.
The moola-trikona and signs of exaltation of the Sun and Saturn are exactly in opposite signs. But the opposite signs have great similarities. Combust Saturn confers respect and material success. One becomes a self-made man. The conjunction can also make one secretive. A strong combust Saturn makes one place duty above everything else. The native may become egocentric.
Combust Saturn puts a man on trial like combust Moon.
Saturn Combust: When Saturn is combust the native feels overwhelmed and overburdened with life, as if they were never given a fair chance. One generally lacks discipline and perseverance to do all that they are required to do and would rather complain or find another, easier way out of their responsibilities. They generally exhibit bitterness and resentment. They are generally unable to give of themselves unless they know that they will derive some benefit. In essence, when Saturn is combust the native is angry at the world at large for the burdens that are a part of it. Another tendency of a combust Saturn is a native who works extremely hard to validate themselves, but never feels validated by their activities and as a result becomes full of frustrated hate and jealousy. These tendencies are generally developed in this lifetime by some responsibility being forced upon the native at an early age when they were to young to handle it, and without proper validation for their accomplishments.

He is indolent, lame, and hardhearted.
Saturn, due to his hardhearted nature, may be very cold in his behavior. He often is in denial himself and may be so blocked that he does not have a clear idea of exactly how cold he may be.
Saturn has a tall, lean and weak body, dark complexion, stiff hair and limbs, large teeth, lazy disposition, windy temperament, cruel nature, Tamasika inclination, lame, dark and shabby robes.

SATURN
Tradition studies or studies belonging to traditions; Jupiter & Saturn give Brahma Yoga (Yoga granting Knowledge from Tradition).
Saturn is a great teacher. It teaches through punishment and making one realise the purpose of life. Hence, it signifies philosophy and spiritualism. Saturn is very old and is orthodox and thus it signifies knowledge passing down from tradition. The deity of Saturn is Brahma who is the creator of this world in the form of Prajapati. Thus Saturn signifies the knowledge of creation. When coupled with
devaguru Brhaspati, it generates fruitful Brahma yoga which grants the fine knowledge of creation and also shows passing down of knowledge from tradition through a Guru (Jupiter)
Saturn rules the minerals which are extracted from the earth and hence signify all fuels including coal, petrol, mining of these fuels, minerals and metals.
Saturn rules the excretory system in the human body whose prime responsibility is to clean the system from any poison or garbage and hence all such disciplines which is related to cleaning of a place or thing such as, drainage system, plumbing, garbage collection and disposal etc. is signified by Saturn.
Saturn is a hard worker and signify heavy labour or the studies/ knowledge related to that such as agriculture, carpentry, blacksmith, artisan, mechanic, handy craft, factory etc
Saturn is extremely cold. This is borne out of the fact that it rules two signs of the zodiac, which corresponds to winter or extreme cold. Thus it signify Ice manufacturing, Refrigeration and preservation.
SATURN:
The complexion and radiance of Saturn is as brilliant as a blue diamond. He has a golden crown on his head and wears a garland and blue coloured apparels. He is seated on the back of the vulture. He possesses a bow, an arrow and a trident in each of his three hands respectively and his fourth hand is raised in the posture of giving boons and blessings.
Saturn is the son of Sun god and Chaya (Sanvarna). He is considered as a cruel planet. The cruelty, which he possesses in his sight, is due to the curse he received from his wife. The narration which has been mentioned in the Brahma Puran goes as follows:
The deity Shani (Saturn) was a great devotee of lord Krishna right from his childhood. He used to be immersed in the love for lord Krishna . After he grew up, his father married him with the daughter of ‘ Chitraratha '. His wife was a chaste woman full of radiance.
One night she went to him after having a bath when her menstruation periods were over, with a desire of having a son, but her husband Shani (Saturn) was immersed in the meditation of lord Krishna , he was unconscious of his surroundings. She became tired of waiting and she became angry . She cursed him that from today onwards whoever gets seen by him would be destroyed. After he came out of his meditative trance ‘Shani' (Saturn) tried to make up with her by cajoling her. His wife too felt sorry for her mistake but she was powerless in neutralizing the ill effects of her curse. From then onwards Shani has been keeping his gaze downwards because he did not want to cause harm to anybody.
According to the astrology if the Saturn pierces and passes through the constellation of Rohini then it is considered to be very inauspicious and causes draughts for twelve years making even the survival of the living beings impossible. This combination was about to come during the time of Dasharatha. He was cautioned by his astrologers against its consequences. To protect his subject from ‘Shanis' wrath Dasharatha went up in the constellation-zone. First of all he made salutations to the deity ‘Shani' but when he refused he fought with him, using his most destructive weapon. ‘Shani' became pleased by his sense of duty and asked him to demand any boon. Dasharatha requested him not to cross the Rohini-constellation' till the sun and constellation exists. Shani agreed to his request.
Lord Yama is the presiding deity of the Saturn. His complexion is dark, his vehicle is a vulture and his chariot is made up of iron. Saturn remains in each of the twelve zodiacs for thirty months. The Saturn is considered as a high planet, till the twentieth degree , in the zodiac of Libra .
Mythology: In Indian Myth Shani is the son of Surya (Sun) and Chhaya his wife's shadow (Sanja). This implies the depressive darkness of Saturn. In Greek myth Saturn was Cronus who was the child of Ouranos (Uranus) the sky god and Gaia (mother earth). Ouranos feared being overthrown by his offspring and Cronus (Saturn) castrated him. Later Cronus (Saturn) was overthrown by one of his own children (Zeus/Jupiter). This symbolizes the overthrowing of old rules or religions. On a simpler note the problems one has with their father and the ways of different generations. This symbolizes the fear of the new to take over and the unwillingness to change.
In Roman mythology, Saturn is the God of agriculture. According to Greeks, The planet is known as Cronus, who was the father of Zeus (Jupiter).
The Hindu mythology conveys different stories for Shani or Shanaishchara (slow moving). It is said that when Surya`s wife Sanchigai, after bearing his three sons` went to visit her father`s place unannounced, she left her shadow behind. This shadow, called Chaya devi bore three more sons from Sun, one of which was Shani. Ever since its birth, wherever Shani has gazed, it has brought some diseases and destruction along.
Shani was also crippled by his stepbrother, Yama. Hence, the legend verifies the fact that Shani casts delays and difficulty in path of actions to succeed.
Shani: The Sun married Sanchigai, the daughter of Dhusashta and gave birth to three sons. When Sanchigai went to visit her parents without the knowledge of her husband, she left behind her shadow Chaya Devi. Saturn is one of the three children born to the Sun and Chaya Devi. When Saturn was born it was said that his gaze fell on his father the Sun, and caused vitiligo. His gaze then fell upon the Sun's charioteer who fell and broke his thigh. Next his gaze fell on the seven horses that drive the Sun's chariot and they all went blind. It was only when Saturn's gaze left them that the Sun's skin cleared, his charioteer's femur healed, and his horses regained their eye sight.
When Lord Shiva's son Ganesha was born, his mother Parvati wanted to show the boy to Saturn. Saturn advised her not to, however she insisted and Saturn gazed upon the child with one eye. Instantly Ganesha's head was burnt to ashes. To prevent Parvati's anger from destroying the universe, Lord Vishnu, cut the head off a bull elephant he had found, and joined it successfully to Ganesha's body. This is why Lord Ganesha has the head of an elephant!
The story goes that one of the sons of the Sun named Yama (god of death), was angry with his step-mother Chaya Devi and in a fit of rage hit his step-brother Saturn on his legs. This crippled Saturn, who became lame. Thus Saturn confers a general slowness in all aspects of life. Disappointment, incompatibility, sorrows, imprisonment, stubbornness, servitude, and difficulties in life are associated with Saturn.
In order to be granted the status of planet, Saturn established a Linga (a form of Shiva) at Benares and performed penance for a very long period to time.
In Vedic myth Saturn is the son of the Sun, born to his shadow wife, Chaya. Saturn is lame because one of the Sun’s first wife Sanjana’s children became angered with him and struck him in the foot. Thus Saturn walks with a limp, which accounts why he is the slowest of the Grahas.
Mythology: Shani is the son of Sun and Chhaya. Saturn is a planet, which has been much, wronged and was cursed by his own wife and celestial mother Parvati. In fact after realizing her mistake Maa Parvati gave a boon to Saturn that no important event in the life of a person will occur unless Saturn gives his divine sanctity to that work either by transit or aspect to such relevant house.
He is the elder brother to Yama(the god of death) therefore he plays the role of Yama and can bring an end to life. Therefore, if a bad Dasha is running and at the same time there is an evil transit of
Saturn and the age of death have come Saturn will definitely kill. But, Saturn also represents detachment. It has great spiritual value. No saint can take birth without a well-placed and strong Saturn.
Gods: Saturn is an ancient Latin god. Her principles are repeated in other ancient religions. In Vedic myth Saturn is the son of the Sun, born to his shadow wife, Chaya, as mentioned in the previous myths. Sani, or Saturn is lame because one of the Sun's legitimate children became angered with him and struck him in the foot. Thus Saturn walks with a limp, which accounts why he is the slowest of the grahas!
Saturn in Roman mythology, is the god of agriculture. In his honor, a period of seven days, known as Saturnalia, was celebrated during which all business was stopped and slaves were given greater liberties than were normally granted the rest of the year.
Sani is the son of Surya and Samjna's maid Chaya and is known to be an effulgent and intense character. There is a story that he was once cursed by his wife due to him looking at another woman, so that any other person he looked at, their head would explode (he is known as the evil-eyed, Kruradrs). During the birth celebrations of Ganesh, Parvati was proudly showing off Her new son. Sani had his eyes fixed to the floor and on noticing this Parvati scolded him. When he explained the reason, Parvati said that She was sure that a son born to such powerful people as Herself and Siva could not be affected by such a silly curse. Sani reluctantly looked at the child, whose head instantly exploded. Parvati was somewhat distressed at this, and in order to console Her and prevent one of Her notorious outbursts, in which universes tend to get destroyed, the devas rushed off to find another one. The first creature they came across was a baby elephant, and so that had to do. Hence Ganesh acquired his elephant head . The story illustrates that Sani is an extremely powerful demigod, whose glance can create havoc no matter what level of protection or exaltation the recipient has.
Saturn (Shani) - Now lets discuss the structure and statistics of Saturn. Saturn is lazy by nature. He is of black color. He is handicapped by one foot. He is hard hearted and a big flatterer. He is foolish; he is having thick teeth and thick nails. He is not at all beautiful in looks. He is wearing black clothes. He
is old.
SATURN- (General of the army) represents your uncle, the type of boss you’ll have, your good and bad deeds in this life or the past, how hard will you work, your true career and wealth, your level of maturity and aspects of your life that might be restricted for at least 50% of your life. I say this because even though Saturn limits your ability of certain aspects of your life depending upon the sign and house its ruling, it usually frees you up from its aftermath after the age of 35 per eastern astrology.
I.e. Saturn in the 7th house, or the zodiac sign that Saturn rules are in the 7th house, and, if Saturn (aspects) the 7th house, this will give you a late or delayed marriage or business partnership, but it WILL give you a marriage. It just a delays it, and knowing this fact, it will be better if you got married after the age of 32. If you have this placement in your chart and you get married before that age, then divorce will be your next calling. This is why it’s so important to know your true astrology and your true astrological chart, as it will help you skip the rocks on your pathway.
Saturn (Shani)- From Saturn we come to know about age, death, fear, decline ( fall from very good managerial position/ministry), illness, insult, poverty, sin, labour, iron items ( because Saturn is of black color), black, lazy, helping bad people, job, going to behind bar, indication of death.
SANI: Lazy, Stubborn
Saturn : It is the most malefic planet and very selfish and cunning. It represents death, politics, gas, airplanes, poverty, servants, electronics and legs. Its color is blue, element iron, gem blue sapphire and direction is west.
Shani (Saturn) represents grief, although this rather harsh description must be understood in more depth, for Saturn is a very important and sometimes deeply spiritual influence in the horoscope. Saturn symbolizes everything that is deep, profound, thorough, long lasting, and serious in life. It is associated with all the aspects of life that teach one how to be more thoughtful and practical, as well as deep and profound. The condition of Saturn in the birth chart will indicate whether these values are put to good use by adding depth and a sense of meaning to life, or whether one refuses to "get serious" and therefore experiences the "grief" of being forced to comply with Saturn's demands.
Shani: Saturn represents grief, symbolic of how we relate to time. When time seems to pass too slowly, we experience grief. The condition of Saturn in the chart shows how permanent, eternal, and synchronized our connection with the light of consciousness is, being with us at even the most challenging times. A well placed Saturn shows the person knows when to go slow and when to go fast, to always let this light be there for them. By acknowledging the limits of where light can go in our relative existence, we can still maintain the experience of beings of light. A challenging Saturn will allow the person to stray off limits, where no light can reach and suffering prevails. Without Saturn being bright, the person may wonder if things will ever be okay again.
Shani, Saturn - Think about its light, its movements: in the starry night, it is difficult to distinguish Saturn from the rest of the stars. Its light is weak, and pale in brightness. Among all the planets visible to the naked eye, it is the furthest from us, the one whose movements are the slowest. It takes thirty years for it to make a complete revolution around the sky. That is why the Hindus called it Shani, which simply means "slow". Drawing a symbolic link with the qualities of Saturn, we can describe the nature of the mental energy called Shani Graha (or the inner Saturn). Saturn cools down. It strengthens, stiffens and thickens. It crystallizes and coagulates. It retains, contracts and delays. That is why we say that Saturn is an “evil” planet. By analogy, in the mental realm, Shani is lonely and reserved, even taciturn. He is prudent and level-headed. He is focused, persevering and tough. He has a great sense of responsibility and very careful with money. He is serious and disciplined.
Saturn – The higher Saturn is a Monk in meditation, the lower is a cold, ruthless individual, disconnected from his feeling nature and other people. It is through Saturn that we come to experience ourselves as a separate being and make peace with our limitations or not, the ultimate limitation being death itself. Saturn rules the nervous system and through it creates painful
complexes that reinforce our separation from God, through form and concept. Anxiety, fear, sorrow, insecurity, loss and life’s painful lessons are all ways Saturn teaches us to give up attachment to form and not take things so personally. His neuroses will teach us perseverance and Self-control, as we will hide behind a wall of self-sufficiency to avoid being seen in our state of weakness. However, at some point something much bigger than what we can control will force us to our knees, like the death of a loved one, a chronic illness or an excessive amount of responsibility that was our
distraction. These crises force our pain into the open where we must face them. Those who cannot learn from life and the hard lessons of Saturn will be reduced to bitterness and foolishness in old age. The greatness of Saturn is that he teaches us sensitivity to others and a respect for all; for once we have suffered we become sensitive to all who suffer. Once his ability for control is properly aligned with dharmic purposes, Saturn gives the perseverance and concentration to put into practice what we have learned, not just acknowledge it mentally. He allows us to be alone to work through our salvation, which is the only possibility.

SATURN – (SHANI)
Saturn represents austerity, discipline, restrictions and sufferings. He is also a spiritual teacher, but one who teaches through restriction, hard work, purification, service and humility, leading the person to face his weaknesses and more negative tendencies, to recognize and change them. Saturn makes us face and work out the negative karma we created in the past in the form of restrictions and sufferings, which will lead us eventually to recognize our negative patterns and develop responsibility and self-discipline to change them.
Saturn represents longevity, old age, concentration and meditation.
The position of Saturn in the chart indicates the areas of struggle and difficulties in life, though in Vedic astrology it is considered a very important planetary energy for spiritual advancement and evolution.
A strong and well-located Saturn in a chart will indicate a good capacity to endure the hardships of life, the capacity for hard work, a strong sense of responsibility, seriousness, self-discipline, austerity or “tapas.”
An afflicted Saturn can show a difficulty in facing responsibilities, or trying to evade them, which leads to more suffering. It can cause mental depression, loneliness, feelings of isolation, addictions and chronic diseases. The more one tries to escape from Saturn’s restrictions, the more intense those sufferings become, leading eventually to extremely difficult situations. Saturn’s restrictions lead to disappointment and detachment from the worldly happiness, which eventually leads to the search for true happiness within the spirit.
The best way to relate with Saturn’s energy is to understand and accept his restrictions consciously through self-discipline and self-purification.
Saturn moves slowly, an indication that his lessons will have to be learned over a long period of perseverance and hard work. But after that, Saturn can give immense blessings and spiritual strength.
He usually tends to postpone or delay things and the areas of life that it affects in the chart.
A strong and dominant Saturn can be found in the birth charts of hard-workers, servants, politicians, yogis and ascetic people.
Its energy can be positively channeled through fasting, selfless service, seclusion and meditation. Physically it is associated with the nerves and it has a Vata or airy ayurvedic constitution.
Saturn : Shani
Saturn relates to : Delays, Obstruction. In Shani Dasha every thing happens slowly, Dejection. Is Lord of the 8 th house, gives happiness from Immovable property like Mars but has a second place after Mars. Together if Saturn and Moon are in any house then it is a very bad aspect. Sat-Mars
Conjunction is bad for health. An event is delayed by Saturn but success is not denied.
7 Saturn-The God Yama
Saturn is called 'Sanaischara' as it moves along the Zodiac leisurely and more slowly than other planets. He is the outermost planet amongst the planets recognised by Hindu Astrology. Saturn is smaller than Jupiter and his diameter is around 75,000 miles. Saturn takes 291/2 years to go round the Sun. Hence on an average Saturn remains in a sign for about 2 ½ years. Saturn is called 'Yama' as he is the chief governor for longevity. Saturn is said to be 'lame' and the son of The Sun. Saturn is sometimes symbolised as Father Time. According to Western belief in olden days Sater or Satan was the name given to Saturn and he signified devil, darkness, secrecy, loss and misfortune. His nature is cold, dry, phlegmatic, melancholic, earthy and masculine. When Saturn is well placed or well
aspected, the person is grave, profound, prudent, cautious and of excellent organising and executive ability. If Saturn is afflicted, the native is apt to be bigoted acquisitive irritable, discontented and complaining. Saturn governs the teeth, bones spleen, knees, right ear and sense of hearing. He rules brick laying, pottery, masonry, plumbing and other laborious and uncongenial employment. He denotes aged persons, thin, nervous, dark, reclusive-also farmers, miners, coal and junk dealers, property owners etc. He rules land, property, mines, lead and dealings in real estate. Day Saturday, metals iron and steel, colour dark blue or black, gem blue sapphire or other blue and black coloured stones. The influence of Saturn is commonly called evil and in this respect he is much maligned, but in reality there is no evil since all things work together for good ultimately. Saturn acts as a deterrent and because he brings denial and necessity into some lives, he has been considered as an oppressor, a Satan "He that filleth with pride will suffer a fall"; for Saturn will bring the native to his knees, humble him, and by means of restrictions, limitation and adversities, will cause the individual to ponder, study and seek to find the source of woe that in future may be overcome. Thus while Saturn is a destroyer (of false ideals), he is also a redeemer, in that he brings to mind a state of
introspection and stimulates effort towards perfection and victory. Saturnians are extremely sensitive but they hide their feelings and emotions under a mask of reserve. If frequently censured, they withdraw from association and their progress and development are much delayed. Saturn is considered to be favourable for people born in the signs owned by Venus whereas Saturn is evil to those born in the signs governed by Mercury. He is also beneficial when he is in his own sign, or when he occupies the signs of Jupiter or when he is exalted. Saturn when benefic makes a person true, reliable, honest, sincere, faithful and chaste. He aids concentration, meditation prayers, etc.
Saturn is the chief governor for longevity (He is called Ayush Karaka). If he occupies the house of longevity, namely, the 8th house in a horoscope, the native gets a long span of life. Saturn owns Capricorn and Aquarius. He is exalted in Libra, the highest exaltation point being 20 degrees of Libra. He is debilitated in Aries, the lowest debilitation point being 20 degrees of Aries. For Saturn the first 20 degrees portion of Aquarius is his Multrikona and the rest is his Swakshetra. The whole of Capricorn is also his swakshetra. Mercury and Venus are friends of Saturn. The Sun, the Moon and Mars are his enemies. Jupiter is neutral to him.
SATURN (Shani)
Saturn is the furthest out planet that is visible to the naked eye. It therefore is the slowest and darkest from our perception (outer planets excluded here). Because of this it is perceived as giving darkness and slows things down, retards or delays. It is the final boundary referring to the
implication of the planet of death and doom. Saturn rules old age and as one becomes disillusioned with life there is misery and frustration. This is all the function of Saturn to strip away everything of this existence to rid one of all desires and attachments. This is what eventually leads one to higher consciousness, and final liberation from the karmic chains of this world. Saturn's primary function is to lead the soul back to its source, God. Experiences of Saturn are delays, depression, restrictions, setbacks, destruction, disease and death. It can exhibit discipline, stability, and give long lasting results. Restrictive Saturn with expansive Jupiter will bring frustration, for Jupiter will expand and give things whereas Saturn will contract and take things away. These planets are very opposite in there meaning and the result is very confusing and frustrating. Saturn with the Sun will inhibit and lower a person's self-confidence.

Rulership Throat, scepticism, rejection, corpses, limitation, death, prisoners, old men, the devil, caution, responsibility, duty, beggars, eunuchs, care, servitude, ascetics, sorrow, masochism, horse-grooms, cowards, oil, pain, misery.
Quality Saturn represents the unwholesome in life, the decaying, the poor, the unorthodox and the low. It is the opposite in nature to Jupiter. The geocentric nature of astrology should remind us that appearances can deceive. While Saturn teaches hard lessons, some learn the easy way and some the hard way. Saturn's lessons are strict and tough, the type of thing most people shrink from. Such things may teach us more than most. Saturn in a natural human being represents caution and scepticism.
Childhood Development In child development, Saturn represents the bubble of self-esteem pricked by the realities of life. The growth of teeth see the self-centred Jupiterian stage punctured. The child sees that her or his self-importance was exaggerated and inflated. While the mother-world was the only source of food, now other food sources exist. Depression follows from this realisation.
Movement is necessary so that this depression may be cleared and something may be offered to the world.
In People Saturn represents the faculty of scepticism. If Saturn is strong in the chart, this scepticism, applied to the self, may lead to masochism. Saturnian people may have a sullen, morose or
depressed appearance. Often shoddy in appearance, they may seem absent minded and often can be malicious and spiteful.
While their self- deprecation convinces others of their uselessness, the Saturnian usually understands a great deal. Serious, sceptical, philosophical and cautious, they may outlast more flamboyant folk. If Saturn is afflicted, the person may underrate her or his abilities, be masochistic and run down their own qualities.
Masochistic Character Chronic sensation of suffering, tendency to complain, to self-damage and to self-deprecate, awkward and static, specifically when talking to others when they may seem backward.
Gauquelin Keywords Formal, reserved, conscientious, cold, methodical, meticulous, modest, observant, not talkative, timid, precise, reflective, retiring, reserved, wise, melancholy, timid, industrious, silent, sad. When compiling their statistical evaluations the Gauquelins found Saturn to be positively significant for scientists and doctors.

Saturn - It rules the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn signifies ambition, fear, responsibility, the perseverance and capacity for hard work, stress, isolation, old people, sickness, misery, obstacles, delays, and separation. The planet gives huge importance to discipline and responsibility. It is through Saturn that we come to experience ourselves as a separate being and make peace with our limitations or not, the ultimate limitation being death itself. Anxiety, fear, sorrow, insecurity, loss and life’s painful lessons are all ways Saturn teaches us to give up attachment to form and not take things so personally. However, at some point something much bigger than what we can control will force us to our knees, like the death of a loved one, a chronic illness or an excessive amount of responsibility that was our distraction. These crises force our pain into the open where we must face them. The greatness of Saturn is that he teaches us sensitivity to others and a respect for all; for once we have suffered we become sensitive to all who suffer. Once his ability for control is properly aligned with dharmic purposes, Saturn gives the perseverance and concentration
to put into practice what we have learned, not just acknowledge it mentally. He allows us to be alone to work through our salvation, which is the only possibility.
