Saturn is the most dreaded planet because it is a Planet of Karma. In Vedic Astrology, Saturn is called Shani and revered as the God of Justice, Shani Deva. He gives you the result of your past and present life Karma in the form of rewards for good deeds and punishments for wrong actions. Saturn metes out justice during your lifetime.
Saturn: The Karma Karaka
According to Vedic Astrology, Saturn influences your life through Karma and controls situations. Saturn is known in Vedic Astrology as Shani Deva and allows you good times based on the righteous and good actions of your past and current life. If you have committed harmful or evil deeds, you will face their consequences.
Saturn’s Role in Vedic Astrology
Saturn is a very influential planet in Vedic Astrology called Shanaischara (One Who Moves Slowly). While most planets transit a Moon sign in a month, one and a half months or 360 days, Saturn takes 2.5 years to leave a Moon sign.
According to legend, Shani is the son of Surya Deva (Sun God) and Chaya Devi and does not maintain good relations with his father. People associate Saturn with old age and view Saturn as a malefic planet that can bring misery, sorrow, suffering, delays, obstacles, ill health, and losses in life. A well-placed Saturn, however, can bestow you with longevity, good health, success, and abundance.
Saturn is a wise teacher and judge who acts based on your own positive and negative Karma. Rather than negatively perceiving Saturn, it is essential to understand that Saturn gives you good guidance and helps you become more robust, disciplined, and responsible. Saturn teaches you to move toward Dharma (Faith & Righteousness) rather than Adharma (Fear & Injustice). Saturn teaches suitable life lessons to help you overcome adversity and receive blessings.
Saturn’s Influence on Your Birth Chart
According to Vedic Astrology, your birth chart may contain positive and negative Yogas, and you may experience good and bad times. Still, it is vital to understand that beyond all these aspects, the one that affects you most is your own Karma.
Sometimes, those reaching the heights of success, power, and prestige also see themselves on the verge of shame, disgrace, and dishonour. Others from very average or underprivileged lives rise to great heights. Please consult our expert Astrologers at AstroVed to discover Saturn’s influence in your horoscope and how to control its adverse effects.
Let Dharma (Righteousness) be Your Guide
As you may have seen, in the race towards riches, fame, materialism, high status, and power, people often fall into bad habits and actions that can cause their downfall. The more they have, the more insecure they feel.
According to Vedic Astrology, Saturn influences your life with results from your actions. People fear any association with Saturn like Shani Drishti (Aspect of Saturn), Dasha (Period) of Saturn, Dhaiya of Saturn (When Saturn Moves to the 4th House or 8th House from a Moon Sign), Sade Sati (7.5 Years of Saturn Period) and Maha Dasha of Saturn (Major Planetary Period of Saturn), spanning 19 years. Consult with Astrological experts on how to transcend and overcome the negative impact of these Saturn phases.
How Saturn Influences Your Kundli & Life
In Vedic Astrology, if Saturn gives you a negative phase in life or suffering and hardships, it is due to your Karma. Saturn is dark, aged, with sunken eyes, unkempt, stubborn, quarrelsome, lonely, and often falls ill. Saturn balances good and evil and is a hard taskmaster. He emphasizes discipline, integrity, sincere efforts, hard work, and perseverance. He is associated with ethics, justice, achievements, virtues, and values in life.
If you engage in evil Karma, including inflicting pain on others, causing sorrow, misery, suffering, humiliation, and behaving in a pessimistic, harsh, selfish, inconsiderate, and cruel manner, Saturn influences you greatly. However, it makes you vulnerable and allows you to face punishment and hardships for your actions during Sade Sati, the time of Saturn’s judgement.
If Saturn sits in a difficult position in your birth chart, you may be selfish and self-centred. You may face losses, enmity, problems, setbacks, delays and suffering. You may have a hard life and face numerous struggles.
There are some specific karmic ways to nullify Saturn’s adverse effects before the onset of Sade Sati or to alleviate Saturn during Sade Sati and Dasha and help reduce Saturn’s negative influences in your life.
