Saturn in astrology is considered a special planet. Its influence can explain the lack of money or the long-awaited prince, the causes of depression and other negative states of man. To solve such problems, astrologers, as a rule, offer the simplest recipes - to reconcile and relax, and also to wait for the time to cure. And if it didn’t help the client? So, he did not wait enough or could not work out his karmic duty.
Classical astrology has always associated Saturn with Chronos, the god of time. In the horoscope, this planet was a symbol of great misfortune. It was believed that Saturn was inhabited by the masters of Karma. They are mysterious spirits who are called to watch how people fulfill their destiny. What is the significance of Saturn in astrology today?
A bit of astronomy
Saturn is a truly gigantic planet. So, if the Earth is represented as the size of a grain of wheat, then this celestial body will be similar to a large tangerine. Saturn is located at a great distance from the Sun. That is why heat is supplied to it 91 times less than to Earth.
When viewing Saturn with a good telescope, several rings are visible around it, between which there are certain gaps. Such formations are a cluster of blocks of various sizes. The width of the rings is such that the Earth could roll along them.
Saturn in Vedic astrology takes the most honorable place. It is believed that this planet has a huge impact on the fate and health of every person. And he who wants to live happily and peacefully needs to know in advance what Saturn has prepared for him in order to adapt to his plans.
Influence on fate
In astrology, Saturn has always been a symbol of disease and death, separation and poverty, all kinds of perversions and ugliness. From a psychological point of view, he always embodied loneliness, asceticism and discipline.
In astrology, Saturn is considered a planet that brings obstacles and limitations to human life. In addition, it makes it difficult for people to express themselves and hinders the manifestation of their "I". He oppresses the personality and sends only troubles and misfortunes. And if Jupiter in astrology is considered the personification of expansion and creativity, then Saturn is a symbol of destruction and contraction.
Beneficial effect
Saturn in astrology is a god of sorrow and a pessimist. He is a stern, and sometimes hard teacher, master of disease, death and old age, that is, the most important enemies of human life. However, Saturn’s energy sector has a positive side. After all, destruction is the eternal companion of creation, and death and decay are considered necessary conditions for growth and new life.
When considering various aspects of Saturn in astrology, it is noted that the material existence of man has its limits. It is fleeting, and eventually breaks up into its constituent elements. Four noble truths of the Buddha speak about the wisdom of Saturn. The more affection a person has, the greater fear he feels for Saturn. After all, this planet, according to astrologers, shows us the limitations of all material things. And in order for a person to open the way to eternity and infinity, he will need to go through the painful lessons presented by this planet.
The positive influence of Saturn lies in the suffering that contributes to the growth and development of the soul. However, if we consider the outside world, then this planet, on the contrary, is the reason for delays, barriers and delays. Being the slowest of all, it restrains the movement of life.
The Sanskrit name of Saturn is Shani. It means "slow." It is believed that in those people whose thinking is inhibited, Saturn is quite struck. This has a negative effect, causing blindness and deafness, deformities and stuttering.
Human impact
The sign of Saturn in astrology is a symbol of the God of time, in whose power are the destructive processes of aging, the withering of a person’s abilities and his vitality. The special location of this sign on the natal chart indicates that the person will prematurely leave the forces. And this will happen not only on the physical, but also on the intellectual level.
Saturn in astrology is a sign of melancholy and depression. It contributes to the awakening of self-pity in a person, inspiring him with anxiety and anxiety.
If we consider a lower level, then Saturn is the planet of egoism. It indicates the deep and lasting pride of man.
In addition, Saturn represents a certain instinct for survival and the need to continue his personal existence. And this is embedded in people even deeper than the need for procreation. Practically all material aspirations of a person are a veiled survival instinct. For example, the desire for wealth springs from a fear of poverty and the limitations Saturn threatens. However, this planet, which has nurtured such feelings, then destroys them.
Considering the characteristics of Saturn, astrology indicates that it is able to blind the mind with fear. After all, the planet inspires a person with a sense of powerlessness, forces him to doubt himself and makes him the prey of baseless phobias, fantasies and fears.
Saturn Transit
In the life of every person there are periods when it seems to him that trouble literally fell upon him, preventing him from breathing deeply. Vedic astrology explains this with the action of Saturn. This is the period when a time of unsuccessful transit comes to the planet. What is it?
Transit in astrology is the movement of the planet, which it makes through the houses of the horoscope. There are 12 in total. Houses are responsible for various spheres of human life.
The planet we are considering is very slow. That is why, according to Vedic astrology, Saturn stops at home for 2.5 years. For all 12 of them, the planet makes a full circle for 30 years.
For 2.5 years, Saturn comes to the house of Braque. And in those cases when the family already occupies a bad position in the card of their birth, the situation in relations between spouses worsens sharply. This is expressed in quarrels, divorce and loneliness. However, everything has its time. And, as is believed in astrology, the period of Saturn ends 2.5 years later, and he moves to another house. However, most often people cannot wait for the end of the influence of this planet on the family. They get divorced because they could not stand her lessons.
It is worth noting that such a period of Saturn in Vedic astrology is considered invisible to people if the planet's position in the birth chart of their family was favorable.
Each person has this sign along its individual route. This explains the fact that some people constantly suffer and cry, while others at the same time enjoy life. However, over time, everything changes. Slowly but steadily, the period of Saturn in Vedic astrology is changing. Sometimes it even brings happiness and relief. However, in such a period, a person undeservedly begins to believe that only he knows how to live correctly, because problems pass him by. By doing this, he develops bad karma for himself. Retribution will come to him in full, but this will happen a little later.
According to astrologers. Saturn in the houses of Spiritual Liberation and Loss, Personality and Money makes its most difficult transit. It lasts for 7.5 years and is called Sade Sati. Vedic astrology gives this period a separate and very honorable place. It was at this time that a person had to work out his own sins most severely, becoming a real victim in the hands of Saturn.
Health effects
In the case when, when examining the natal chart, it is clear that Saturn struck Mercury, a person is threatened with asthma, ear diseases and phobias. If Jupiter is under the influence of this planet, one can soon expect the development of sexual dysfunction, as well as the appearance of jade and sciatica. If a hostile aspect takes place between the Sun and Saturn, this threatens sexually transmitted diseases, skin problems, as well as the general weakness of the body, which will arise due to neglect of health.
In addition, Shani is responsible for chronic diseases, as well as for the presence of “traffic jams” in the body that block the free movement of vital energy.
