SIGNIFICANCE OF SATURN IN A NATAL CHART
Saturn is one of the most important planets in Vedic astrology. It is the planet of karma, justice, discipline, and order. It also represents the challenges, limitations, and delays that we face in our life. Saturn teaches us the value of hard work, patience, and perseverance. It is the planet that helps us grow spiritually and mature as a person.
Saturn’s behavior with other planets depends on its placement, aspect, and conjunction in the birth chart. Saturn can be friendly, neutral, or hostile to different planets. According to Vedic astrology, Saturn is friendly with Mercury and Venus, neutral with Jupiter and Mars, and hostile with Sun and Moon. Saturn’s friendship or enmity with other planets affects its influence on the native’s life.
Saturn is a solitary planet that likes to be alone. It is not very friendly or sociable. It prefers to work in isolation and focus on its goals. Saturn does not like distractions or frivolities. It is a serious and sober planet that values responsibility and duty. Saturn can make the native introverted, reserved, and detached from others.
However, Saturn can also give positive results when it is well placed and aspected by benefic planets. Saturn can bestow wisdom, longevity, fame, wealth, and authority to the native. Saturn can also make the native humble, compassionate, and charitable. Saturn can help the native overcome obstacles and achieve success through hard work and dedication.
Saturn’s influence on the native’s life can be seen through its various periods and transits. The most significant period of Saturn is the Sade Sati or the seven and a half years of Saturn.
This is the time when Saturn transits over the natal Moon and the two signs before and after it. This period can bring major changes, challenges, and difficulties in the native’s life. The native may face problems related to health, career, relationships, finances, and mental peace. The native may also have to face the consequences of their past actions and learn from their mistakes.
The Sade Sati period can also be a time of transformation and growth for the native. The native may develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their purpose in life. The native may also gain spiritual insight and enlightenment. The native may become more detached from worldly attachments and more devoted to God.
The mahadasha, antardasha and pratiantardasha periods also have their importance and they give results as per their significance as per that horoscope ( as per KP Vedic astrology system ), be it positive or negative according to that horoscope.
Very technically speaking as per KP Vedic astrology, when Saturn is in conjunction or aspecting other planet then it will also give the results of its significances during the activation period of that planet in conjunction or aspect.
Saturn is a speed breaker and always like to have slow and steady growth which later on comes out to be a stronger one, but people don’t realize that and wants everything fast.
Saturn conjunction with moon or in aspect or in each other’s nakshatra, gives rise to punarphoo yoga which creates hurdles and delays in major events of life and thus gives frustration to the native. It doesn’t give job satisfaction and creates challenges in life in many spheres.
In a nutshell Saturn gives good as well as bad results and it depends from horoscope as per the placements of Saturn in that horoscope and its significances.
