So its position in the rasi chakra is very important for Indian astrology predictions. Astrologers say that the inconsistent speed of Guru is causing instability all over the world. Soon, Jupiter will enter its debilitated house Makara (Capricorn) on 20 November 2020.

Planet Saturn

Saturn is the next biggest planet in the solar system after Jupiter and rasi chakram. Saturn is called Shani in Indian astrology. Also, Saturn is the slowest moving planet. It takes approximately two and a half years to transit through one rasi. So, approximately, it takes 36 years to complete 12 rasis or houses. 

Saturn in Puranas

Mythically Shani is the son of lord Soorya and his wife Chhaya (shadow). He is the product of a strained relation. Shani represents everything that is slow-moving, lazy, servant-like, old, drainage, etc. Saturn is considered a very malefic planet in the rasi chakra. 

“Mruthyurvyaadheeshchadukham

Sanirihadaasabhruthyaadikopeeva”

Saturn represents death, ailments, sadness, labor, and anger. It is said to be a planet almost like a judge who punishes karmic errors. Hence Saturn is also termed cruel.

Significance of Saturn in a Horoscope

Normally, people think that Shani gives only bad effects. People’s fear makes them think of Shani Dasa as a bad period. But Shani gives a lot of benefits if it is strong and in a beneficial house. When Saturn is placed in a beneficial sign and house, he blesses that person with great wealth and fame. Saturn is connected with the age and longevity of a person. Saturn in the eighth house blesses the person with a long life. Saturn is also the planet of justice, representing Yama deva in astrology. Saturn acts as a judge and punishes depending upon the severity of the sins of a person. The person who commits sin is rewarded accordingly.
