Saturn’s Significance In Astrology

Saturn as a planet is the most feared amongst the 9 planets in Vedic Astrology, and there are various reasons for it. Saturn is the son of Surya Dev ‘Sun’ and Chaya according to the Hindu Mythology. Saturn is believed to be the most strict and the greatest teacher who rewards the righteous deeds and punishes those who follow the dark path of evil to achieve what their hearts desire.

Saturn is here to teach us life lessons and prepare us for the hardships we may have to face during the course of our lives. It wants us to be disciplined, thus poses restrictions and limitations. Saturn’s influence doesn’t always mean denial of success, rather It simply means delay most of the time.

Often known as the Lord of Karma and Justice, Lord Shani is considered to be one of the most malefic planets and is often said to bring restrictions, frustrations, misery and misfortunes if negatively placed in one’s horoscope. Saturn rules over Aquarius and Capricorn. It attains exaltation in Libra at 27 degrees and debilitation if posited in Aries at 27 degrees. Saturn is friendly with the planets Mercury and Venus and is inimical to Sun, Moon and Mars. It is neutral towards Jupiter.

Saturn Through The Nakshatras & Sade Sati In 2023

The sign of Aquarius, like any other zodiac, has 3 Nakshatras covered, which are the 3rd and the 4th Pada of Dhanishta Nakshatra, all 4 Pada of Shatabhisha and the first 3 Pada of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra. Currently, Saturn is transiting through the last Pada of Dhanishta Nakshatra, whose ruler is Mars and will continue its stay there till 14th of March. On 15th March Saturn will enter Shatabhisha Nakshatra whose ruler is Rahu.

Saturn is most comfortable in Shatabhisha Nakshatra and performs best. This transit of Saturn into Shatabhisha Nakshatra may prove to be positive for most of the zodiacs but can be a problem for a few of them. Interestingly, the moment Saturn enters the 12th sign from your zodiac the 1st phase of Sade Sati starts. Yes, you heard that right. The Shani Sade Sati, that’s exactly what we are talking about. Sade Sati would then start for you and all other people around the world who share the same zodiac as yours. When Saturn enters the your zodiac then starts the 2nd phase of Sade Sati and when Saturn enters the 2nd zodiac from your own that marks the 3rd and the last phase of Sade Sati.

Thus, in this manner Sade Sati covers 3 phases in a total of seven and a half years time period. Sade Sati is not always negative though as thought by many. Saturn is a very interesting planet. It gives results as per your current Karma or deeds and the Karma that you have done in the past or in your last life hence, you will get the results accordingly.

Likewise Dhaiya, another word that is associated with Saturn and often scares people to death, starts when Saturn enters the 4th or the 8th house from your zodiac. It lasts for a span of 2,5 years hence, called ‘Dhaiya’. The zodiacs who are running through Sade Sati currently are Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. And the zodiacs running through ‘Dhaiya’ are Cancer and Scorpio.

Saturn will continue strolling between different Padas of Satabhisha and Dhanishta, yes you read that right; Saturn will again enter the 4th Pada of Dhanishta Nakshatra on 15th October, 2023 after walk through all 4 Pada of Shatabhisha Nakshatra and again enter the 1st Pada of Shatabhisha Nakshatra on 24th November, 2023 before transiting to Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in January 2024. Quite a rollercoaster isn’t it?

Obviously, we understand that it is not possible to fit in every little detail about every little movement of a planet as mighty as Saturn but we have tried to write down a summary about the movements and transits of Saturn throughout 2023. We will continue posting shorter blogs on Saturn and its significant movements or changes all through the year so as to add some interesting twists and turns in this otherwise slow moving journey of Saturn.
