8. Saturn: The Judge,
longevity and karka of Sorrow
Saturn is also called as
`Sanaischara’ due to its’ slow motion compare to other planets along the Zodiac
leisurely. He is the outermost planet amongst the planets. Saturn is smaller
than Jupiter and his diameter is around 75,000 miles. Saturn takes 29.5 years to
complete a circle around the Sun. Hence on an average Saturn remains in a sign
for about 2 ½ years. Saturn is called `Yama’ as he is the chief governor for
longevity. Saturn is said to be a `lame’ and the son of The Sun. According to
Western belief in olden days Sater or Satan was the name given to Saturn and he
signified devil, darkness, secrecy, loss and misfortune.
His nature is cold, dry,
phlegmatic, melancholic, earthy and masculine. In a horoscope if Saturn is well
placed or well aspected, the person will be grave, profound, prudent, cautious
and will have excellent organizing and executive ability. If Saturn is
afflicted, the native is apt to be bigoted acquisitive, irritable, discontented
and complaining. Saturn governs the teeth, bones spleen, knees, right ear and
sense of hearing. He rules brick laying, pottery, masonry, plumbing and other
laborious and uncongenial employment. He denotes aged persons, thin, nervous,
dark, reclusive-also farmers, miners, coal and junk dealers, property owners etc.
He rules land, property, mines, lead and dealings in real estate.
The influence of Saturn is
commonly called evil and in this respect is much maligned, but in reality there
is no evil since all things work together for good ultimately. Saturn acts as a
deterrent and because he brings denial and necessity into some lives, he has
been considered as an oppressor. Saturn will bring the native to his knees,
humble, and by means of restrictions, limitation and adversities, will cause
the individual to ponder, study and seek to find the source of woe that in
future may be overcome. Thus while Saturn is considered as a destroyer, he is
also a redeemer, in that he brings to mind a state of introspection and
stimulates effort towards perfection and victory.
The natives influenced by
Saturn are extremely sensitive but they hide their feelings and emotions under
a mask of reserve. If frequently censured, they withdraw from association and
their progress and development are much delayed. Saturn is considered to be
favourable for people born in the signs owned by Venus and Mercury. He is also
beneficial when he is in his own sign, or when he occupies the signs of Jupiter
or when he is exalted in a horoscope. Saturn when benefic make a person true,
reliable, honest, sincere, faithful and chaste. He aids concentration,
meditation prayers, etc. Saturn is the chief governor for longevity and
therefore called Ayush Karaka. If he occupies the house of longevity, the 8th
house in a horoscope, the native gets a long span of life.
Saturn has the lordship of
Capricorn and Aquarius signs. His exalted sign is Libra and the highest
exaltation point is 20o degrees portion of Aquarius is his
Multrikona and the rest of the portion is his Swakshetra. The whole Capricorn
sign is his swakshetra. Mercury and Venus are his friends while Sun, Moon and
Mars are his enemies and Jupiter is neutral to him. The day ruled by Saturn is
Saturday, metals is iron and steel, colour is dark blue or black, and gem is
blue sapphire or other blue and black coloured stones.
