ॐ गुरवे नमः | जय जय माँ काली
Saturn is the significator of sorrows, failures, obstacles and delays in life. Hence, the transit of Saturn in certain houses of the birth chart brings sorrows & sufferings in the life of an individual as these transits have the power to bring disruption and trouble to finances, family, relationships, health, name, fame, reputation etc.
Such transits of Saturn are known to bring sufferings in the material life but also is seen to force the native to perform meritorious deeds in the spiritual side of life. So one can see spiritual progress as well in such periods. So let us take a look at these unfavourable transits to understand how can one swim through the ocean of suffering & sorrows in these periods.
When Saturn transits in the 12th house from natal Moon, this is the beginning of Sade Sati, a 7.5 years phase of Saturn where aspects of family life, marriage, finances & health will be afflicted and you will experience sufferings from these areas in life.
When Saturn transits the 12th house from natal Moon it can end your marriage or bring immense trouble to the marriage, here this placement of transit Saturn is afflicting the domestic affairs of the native.
When, Saturn transits over the natal Moon, during this phase, the native can undergo severe health problems, ill fame or the reputation can take a bad hit. Such a native can undergo depression or high mental stress and failure of intelligence as well.
Transit of Saturn over the second house from Moon results in problems related to financials, sustenance, wrong financial decisions which can hamper in long term, external enemies, trouble at work, it is also seen such a native can also indulge in extra marital affairs which in turn surely brings the wrath of Saturn in his life leading to complete destruction of his or her material world.
The above transit of Saturn from natal Moon should also be seen from Ascendant, Arudha Lagan, natal Sun position, Paka Lagna, Varnada Lagan and other important ascendants like Hora Lagan as well, for example transit over Hora Lagan can cause financial & sustenance problems.
There is another very important transit of Saturn known as Kantaka Shani described below ;
Transit of Saturn on houses 1st, 4th, 8th and 10th from natal Moon, Ascendant or Arudha Lagna is known as a period of Kantaka Shani. Kantak means something sharp, obstruction, fierce being the cause of sufferings. The effects of this transit of Saturn is very similar to what a person undergoes during a Sade Sati.
Most astrologers & individuals make the mistake of only observing such transits of Saturn from the natal – D1 (rashi / birth ) chart and fail to check the transit of Saturn in the divisional chart, for example someone is suffering in their career or professional life then do look at the D10, it can be that Sade Sati is ongoing in the D10 chart so career will be affected during such periods. In the D9 – problems related to marriage & destiny and so on.
Now let us look at the remedies that one can seek in such scenarios ;
Saturn is Vayu Tattva (element) planet and Vayu element is governed by Lord Shiva so worshipping Shiva is a must during any period of Sade Sati or Saturn’s Mahadasha or Antardasha periods.
One should read Sri Rudram during such periods for relief, it is one of the best remedies if done properly to end all troubles coming from Saturn.
It is also recommended to worship Rudra avatar Hanuman or Bhairava depending on the individual’s natal chart and planetary positions.
Chanting the planetary mantra of Saturn given below along with Lord Shiva’s Shadakshari mantra is the simplest yet powerful remedy one can do during major & minor periods or during difficult transits of Saturn
ॐ नमः शिवाय
ॐ शनैश्चराय नमः
Visiting holy temple places such as Sri Kalahasti, Kedarnath, Mahakaleshwara & Somnatha are recommended,
For Jains the pilgrimage to Shetrunjay Hills (Palitana) is beneficial during periods of Saturn, For Sikhs visiting the Golden Temple is most recommend during unfavorable periods of Saturn…
