Saturn / Sani
Saturn (In Sanskrit - Shani) is darkness, the enemy of light. When it is well placed in
the seventh house, or well aspected, it gives its natives integrity, wisdom,
spirituality, fame, patience, ability to lead, authority, long life, organizational abilities,
sincerity, honesty, love of justice, awareness of right and wrong (because it rules the
inner conscience), nonattachment, and asceticism.
When it is ill-posited or ill-aspected it brings miseries, sorrow, delay, obstruction,
disappointment, disharmony, disputes, dejection, difficulties, despondency, and
destruction (death). It makes its natives undisciplined, irresponsible, dishonest, dull,
addicted to drugs, sadistic, greedy, lonely and afraid. Accidents, humiliation, prison,
lawsuits, suicidal tendencies, fear of theft, thefts, blame, enmity, pessimism, and
premature aging are also attributed to an ill-aspected or ill-posited Saturn.
In the body, Saturn rules the nails, hair, teeth, bones, and nervous system
.Diseases of the ears, jaundice, gout, deafness, depression, anxiety, insanity, and
asthma are also connected with a Saturn that is ill-aspected or badly placed in the
birth chart.
Saturn rules over the zodiacal signs Capricorn and Aquarius. Mercury, Venus,
Rahu, and Ketu are its friends and the Sun, the Moon, and Mars are its enemies.
Jupiter is neutral in friendship. Its friendly zodiacal signs are Taurus and Gemini and
it works well and gives good results in Sagittarius and Pisces. Enemy signs are
Cancer, Leo, and Scorpio. Saturn gives its best results – or worst results – between
thirty-six and forty-two years of age.
Our Opinion
Saturn is a planet of learning. This planet can often make us depressed or down in
dumps. Frustration and mounting inner desires are the signs of Saturn. It is restricted,
fearsome, cold and life's greatest teacher. Energy becomes positive against

frustration and depression if the planet is favourable. May the Saturn Planet bless
you with all super graces... We wish.
