What Does Saturn Signify in Your Vedic Chart? Remedies for a Weak or Afflicted Saturn
Heyy everyone, Jai mahakaal
This is the 3rd post in the series, after discussing about the soul and mind [sun and moon respectively] we are now moving towards the karaka of grief, balance, justice, patience and most importantly time.... Saturn aka Shani. [Please note that grahas only bring u stuff they are not the reason the stuff is being brought to u]
Saturn's Roles
Saturn gives you reality checks whenever ur ego starts inflating. Saturn has loads of time basically, saturn won't give u fame or money but it gives you time... time to rejuvenate, time to get back on ur feet and time to do the hardwork. Saturn is also a planet responsible for giving your pressure, and it keeps on giving the pressure like the earth gives to carbon until it turns into diamond or gets crushed. Now its your choice whether u wanna handle the pressure and come out a diamond or u wanna be crushed.
Saturn govern's
- Hardwork, persistence and patience
- Delays
- Justice and consequences of actions
- Longetivity, endurance and maturity
- Servants, People working for you in general, Marginalized people
Saturn is also one of the most popular grahas, with its mahadasha, sadesati and what not. Its not something to be feared of though and its definitely not something to sit and cry about. Saturn only delivers you consequences of your actions. Even when you see the signs ruled by saturn, capricorn : deals entirely with your actions, practicality and is basically like a warzone [hence mars the warrior feels really expressive here and gets exalted] and aquarius : deals with the fruits of those actions.
Saturn doesn't care about ur emotions, ego, excuses.... it only cares about what you are doing.
While the struggles delivered by saturn are often long what we overlook is that when saturn is in charge of delivering the 'good results' they are massive and long lasting too. Saturn brings stability....
Saturn is also the karaka of your work aka your career.... its not gonna give u promotion/recognition/raise they are departments of different planets. Saturn will bring to you two things the ability to do work and the ability to handle pressure.
Anyways now I won't bore ya with stuff and get to the point for which you all prolly read the posts... checking whether its weak/afflicted and remedies hehe
Signs of a weak/afflicted Saturn
First signification is quite similar to sun as it depends on sun basically if you have got your sun mastered saturn is nothing to worry about ....... in layman terms if you are disciplined, take responsibilities and are consistent with your work no need to worry about anything.
Nextly, saturn signifies time as I said earlier.... therefore the next set of checks is whether you value time or not?
Do you procrastinate? Are you punctual? Do you value not just ur own time but that of others too?
Nextly ofc, is about work and efforts, Do you expect quick results without putting in much effort and do you give up easily when things get tough.
Saturn is a very rough n tough planet all in all, and as the saying is, 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going' or it was something somewhat similar to it but u get my point right.... So keep going and don't give up.
Then there are delays and justice, do things get really delayed in ur life or do you feel life is unfair to you? {the second one also depends on ketu and jupiter and 5th house too tbh but well its a little dependant on saturn so I thought it was worth mentioning]
Next is well a few more questions, and u'd kinda figure it out whether its alright or is there something off
- Do you feel constant fear, anxiety about future?
- Do you overthink worst-case scenarios?
- How do you treat helpers, laborers, or people below your status?
- Do you feel lonely or disconnected often?
- Do you often feel cold even when the weather and everything is fine?
- Do you have joint pain often?
Now for the remedies
This is prolly the part for which y'all wait the most xD so here it isss
First is ofc respect time, build a routine, be punctual
Nextly serve those in need.... help the poor, the old, the hungry, the disabled and just do the seva without ego and without wanting something in exchange for it.
Take responsibility of your actions. Stop blaming others and own ur mistakes, be accountable. And face the consequences maturely instead of giving excuses.
Improve the significations of the house it is seated in.... Lemme give a few examples [there are exceptions ofc x planet in y house doesn't say much u need to see a lot of things but anyways its something to start going with nevertheless]
Say saturn is in lagna then you aren't grooming urself well. Start taking proper care of urself and ur health n fitness. Saturn in lagna is like putting ice in a fire basically. Depending on the placement of lagnesh, badminton and other stretching related sports are also quite a good remedy.
Another example saturn in 2nd house, eating habits are the issue, work on them... eat on time eat healthy.
And one more example saturn in 5th house, treat your stomach better, avoid oily stuff... decision making ability needs to improve, have some sort of vision in life, some sort of ambition in life.... Also focus on food while eating and eat calmly there is no need to rush
And the final one, saturn in 7th, treat ur partner better.
A few more general remedies
- Stop rushing decisions
- Avoid impulsiveness
- Take steady, grounded steps
- Sit on the floor while eating
- Walk barefoot on grass/soil
- Spend time in nature
- Keep your space clean
- Create a calm corner for yourself
Now like always if you want we can discuss some remedies with a more personal touch to you, for that comment the nakshatra of your saturn and of ur ascendant..... Along with the sign in which saturn and ascendant respectively are in d9.... Also do lemme know if any planet is seated in capricorn.
