when the Full Moon is in Chitra, Swati or Revati Nakshatra. Lucky year given by Saturn is 36. Saturn dominates the human life from 69 years till the end of life. If Saturn alone is the ascendant in one's birth chart, the native prospers in old age. According to Utpal Bhatta, the commentator of 'Parasari', when Brahma ordered Surya to reduce his wealth, Surya burst into anger. Shani was born out of that anger. Vyasadev calls Shani the womb of the shadow of Ravi. Saturn is the complete opposite of father Ravi. Can't stand Shani Rabi. This enmity is the reason for the difference in quality. Ravi, the creator of Saturn, is said to be the initiator of creation and soul. Ravi is the agent of sattguna. Ravi is the light of the soul. Ravi has no work except creation. On the other hand, Saturn the son of Rabi is the destroyer of creation and soul. Shani Tamoguni. The shadow of the soul is darkness. Shani was born from the tamasic nature of Ravi's soul i.e. anger i.e. shadow. Saturn has no work but to destroy. Saturn destroys each other. On the contrary, it is done in two ways. The first of which is the destruction of the movement from the darkness of the soul i.e., tamasbhava to the path of sattvic light. Which means the movement from the lower level of the soul to the higher level, in short, the self-awakening of knowledge. Second, he destroys the soul's movement from light to darkness. That is, the destruction of the lower tamoguna in the awakening of knowledge. Both these doshas and gunas are destructive actions of Saturn.


Effect of planet Saturn on human life


In astrology, Saturn is termed as the giver of karma. Shani gives results according to the person's actions. Transit of Saturn in a horoscope gives results accordingly. According to Jyotish, the natives of Saturn's enemy planet have to suffer, while the natives of friendly planet get good results due to the influence of Saturn.


Saturn's karkata is renunciation, titiksha and sorrow. There is no end to the sorrows of a Saturn native. Just as the Sakras purify gold by burning it in fire, so also Shani burns people in the fire of sorrow and awakens in them truthfulness and piety. Shani awakens the conscience of a person who is drowning in the thick of infatuation with the whip of conscience. Man learns renunciation, austerity, patience, restraint and self-restraint, and thus Shani shines the light of wisdom in the dark minds of arrogant, maddened, fallen, sin-ridden and ignorant people. In this way, Shani leads him to the path of Brahmalav by crossing all the narrow boundaries far away from caste differences, rituals, ceremonies, reforms etc. in man. Shani crushes the inner ego of a person. People can understand the true nature of happiness and sadness. And in this way Shani, the son of the shadow, brings people through creation-destruction and ups and downs to the door of wisdom of the savior Jupiter and fades back into the shadows. Saturn-influenced people have nothing of kindness, illusion, compassion, affection, beauty, luxury, worldly pleasures, splendor, power. He has only work concentration and hard mentality. They prefer solitary or ascetic lives. They are barren stone people in the opinion of others. When the Saturn-influenced person descends to the lowest level in the darkness of ignorance, or steps in the wrong direction in the urge to rise from it, then the shadowed Saturn gives the due fruits of his actions in equal proportion by holding the scales. Shani at this time makes people completely helpless by grief after grief, injury after injury. He has to fight hard poverty. Then he no longer likes the family. Shani prevents people from enjoying the world. People do not understand why this is the case. He bangs his head on the feet of the stone idol of God and does not get the right answer. The tears dry up, instead the forehead bursts with blood. As there is no such thing as God, he then roars against God, compares him with the people around him and complains to God. Thus, when the house, worldly goods, relatives, friends, loved ones and even wife and children want to turn away from him, then gradually his mind turns, knowledge is born anew in the heart. He leaves his relatives, loved ones and worldly goods and becomes completely alone and destitute and yearns for a different individual relationship with the universe. This attitude of people who are mad in despair is the campaign of the human soul against the Supreme Soul. Where people become enslaved by indulgence, infatuation, selfishness, meanness, crookedness, hypocrisy, deceit and envy, there the evil tamasic influence of Saturn prevails. Shani appears as the Kalbhairava of Mahakala in Sanhara Murthy to destroy this tamasic effect. Another name for Saturn is Bada for giving such inauspicious results.

Shani is the agent of all evil actions. Shani is also the ruler of slaves. Saturn is the cause of all hypocrisy. All lying, cheating, hypocrisy etc. are done by Saturn. Only Saturn natives can show one thing in mind and another in face. Saturn is the factor of old women especially old-widow women. If Saturn is auspicious, people get benefit from old women. If Saturn is inauspicious, old woman. People are harassed. If Saturn is inauspicious in the birth chart, painful colic disease occurs. Saturn is the cause of domestic strife or family discord.

In most cases, Saturn natives are selfish, they have less affection, kindness, love, compassion in their bodies than others. They do not benefit others easily, as Jupiter's yoga, status or aspect increases the mood altogether; Saturn's yoga, position or vision causes loss of all such aspects.

The mythological story of Saturn



Shani is a deity in Hindu scriptures. He is one of the nine planets that control or direct destiny. Together they are called 'Navagraha'. Shani is the son of Surya and Surya's wife Chhaya according to Hindu scriptures. Yama, the god of death, is Saturn's brother. The Sanskrit word 'Shani' means slow. Saturn has the longest orbit of all the planets in astrology and Saturn takes the longest (30 years) out of the nine planets to go around the Sun once.


Shani is a deity in Hinduism who is the son of Surya and his consort Chayadevi (the goddess Chaya created from the shadow of the goddess Chaya, wife of Surya and daughter of the god Vishwakarma), hence also called Chhayaputra. Shanidev, the god of death and justice Yamadev or Dharmaraja and Anuj brother of the holy Shri Yamuna Devi.


According to the Brahmavaivarta Purana, one day during Shani's meditation, when his wife Goddess Dhamini came before him in beautiful attire, the meditative Shanidev cursed his wife Dhamini or Manda Shanidev to pay no attention to her, You do not even turn to me. From then on, whoever you look towards, will be burnt to ashes. According to medieval texts, Saturn is a god who is considered to be the evil bearer of misfortune. But that is not really true. Saturn is good for good and bad for bad. He is very patient and intelligent.


He received the boon of hindsight from Mahadev, which guided the person on the right path. It should be noted that even though he fell under the wrath of many while giving karma, he never deviated from the path of truth.



Details Analysis about Saturn planet in astrology



Saturn has a unique position among all the planets in astrology. Saturn is considered to be the most inauspicious or bad planet. I have seen many astrologers who are very afraid of Saturn and try to instill this fear in their clients. Common people, who believe in astrology, often think that everything that is going wrong in their life is done by Saturn - or Saturn alone is the cause of everything. Many of us say that when the time is not good - Saturn is in transit.


Any planet can do both good/bad, and actually the effect of a planet on a person's life depends on the position of the planet in that person's chart. Even a very benevolent planet like Venus can make human life hell. Not only Venus, Jupiter, the benefic planet among the planets, can cause a lot of suffering in people's lives due to its position in the house - I have seen many. Anyway, I think it is necessary to write something about Saturn because people have different interest and different misconceptions about Saturn.

Saturn stays in a sign for more or less two and a half years, which is longer than any other planet in astrology. Apart from slowness, a special feature of Saturn is its vision. Saturn's vision is considered very inauspicious in Hindu scriptures. According to the scriptures, various accidents occur due to Saturn's gaze falling on different places immediately after birth. Even, the Sun's skin turned white and became like a white patient due to Saturn's gaze on his father and the king of the planets Sun.


From this it can be understood that Shani does not judge anyone, everyone is equal to him. In fact, every incident of Purana has some lesson/message. In fact, Saturn's vision also has an effect on horoscope analysis. Saturn in the 3rd and 10th Rasis from its own position has a distinct power of aspecting, which other planets do not have.


Saturn is very slow and dry in character. So when he affects something, he slows down the prosperity, development, advancement, growth etc. of that thing. Being dry, Saturn has no sense of humor. Hence Saturn makes life joyless and unentertaining. There is no romance under the influence of Saturn in married life. Rather, married life becomes a mere 'responsibility' or 'duty'.


Moreover, it is very common in astrology that under the influence of Saturn, girls may get married to older men with a large age difference. It is true. I know a girl very well who has Saturn in her marital life according to her chart, and in reality she got married to a man 18 years older than her when she was in Saturn.


The girl is not a village girl at all, but a girl from an educated family in the city. So getting married to such an older man was very unexpected for her. In fact, according to Hindu scriptures, Saturn is the oldest among the planets. Herein lies the significance. Although Saturn is the son of Surya, Surya is described as young, but Saturn as old. Because of the youth of the sun, the sun has so much light and heat, so also in the horoscope, the sun gives 'power' in various aspects of life. And Saturn, being the son of Sun, is old, slow and affects life in the same way in the horoscope. Shani is slow moving and therefore Saturn signifies old people, who move slowly. As Saturn can make life uninteresting, under the influence of Saturn a person can lose interest in these things himself. Then he is more happy in sacrifice than enjoyment. Again, such people have a high sense of responsibility - which is another aspect of Saturn.


Shani is described in Hindu scriptures as a cruel, hard god who rides a crow or a vulture and when displeased, teaches people about life through suffering, facing harsh realities. Many of the bad 'yoga' (combinations) of planets in the horoscope are associated with Saturn. Saturn is an 'extreme-nature' planet. When he favors someone, he can give more benefits or good fortune than expected. And when he is displeased with someone, it causes unspeakable suffering and misfortune. In many instances in Hindu scriptures, Shani purifies man by suffering, just as gold is purified by fire. Saturn teaches people to be patient by slowing down everything.


Saturn's auspicious effects include deep knowledge, prudence, erudition, philosophizing, fairness, generosity, kindness, forgiveness, sense of responsibility, etc. If Shani is auspicious it gives good luck to the people. Patience, discipline, ability to work hard, etc. are some of Saturn's own benefits. Moreover, Saturn is also the factor of occult/spirituality, penance, spiritual pursuits, etc.



If Saturn is more malefic in one's life then it is a very bad sign. It slows down and hinders progress in various areas of human life. Undue delay in everything. It forces people to live a lonely life. Gives a lot of suffering, poverty, depression, and a negative outlook on life. Due to the malefics of Saturn, people cannot go deep or understand deeply. Always takes everything lightly and suffers from it.



People from the lower strata of society have more ups and downs. Because Saturn means low caste or class. Moreover, as Saturn signifies dirty places etc., those who are dirty in clothes, residence, personal habits etc. should be understood to have negative influence of Saturn. Saturn's malefics make people dishonest, lazy, cruel. Another very well-known evil of Saturn is separation / staying far from loved ones. Saturn takes away from family and loved ones. separates Don't let love get you. Shani can make people suffer in winter or cold, because Saturn itself is cold in nature. If Saturn negatively affects the native's Jupiter, Saturn may involve the person in litigation. Saturn can even give imprisonment/imprisonment. In the case of diseases, Saturn gives long-lasting or lifelong (chronic) diseases because Saturn causes delay, so if it gives diseases, it gives diseases from which recovery is delayed or lasts for a lifetime.


To give grief, Saturn can make people completely depressed, hopeless and forced to surrender to fate - even people can commit suicide under the influence of Saturn. Saturn's own signs in the zodiac are Capricorn and Aquarius. In Libra, Saturn attains 'exalted position' i.e. is most powerful. Saturn's own bar (weekday) is Saturday. If you often notice that your Saturdays are going bad, it means your Saturn is bad. Saturn's own number is 8 (eight). Be careful if the dates of bad events in your life are on the 8th, 17th, 26th. Saturn's favorite color is blue. In modern astrology, along with blue, black is considered the color of Saturn, and in my own experience, rightly so. And blue sapphire is Saturn's favorite gem (stone) to be loved.


Saturn's mahadasa (greatest dasha) lasts for 19 years in human life. Saturn takes full control of people's lives in this Mahadasha and influences life strongly. Since Saturn stays in each Rasi for two and a half years, Saturn has the power to influence one's life considerably, which other planets cannot, by Gochara (current position in the sky) in addition to Mahadasha.


Advice for evil Saturn in your horoscope



Shani is happy if you donate black cloth, blue cloth, mustard oil, sesame oil, these things to the poor. On Saturdays, giving to the elderly may yield more results. Hindus regard Shani as a deity and recite various mantras and hymns to appease Shani. A tantric object to propitiate Saturn is the long-used iron hoof of a horse. Many people make rings out of it, the energy of Saturn is felt in it, but it takes very little iron to make the ring, so its effect is reduced. Another object is the nail used in boats. There are several famous temples or shrines of Saturn in different parts of India. If you recite Shani Mantra starting from Saturday after sunset much better for you. Shani mantra - "Om som shonishchoray Nomo:" for minumum 28 times. Mustard oil lamps should be lit under the peepal tree on Saturdays. Donate Mustered oil or sesame oil to the poor people. Never misbehave with workers. Make them work and pay them properly. Then Shani Dev is happy.
