Transition of planet Saturn from Leo to Virgo on 9 September 2009

Saturn is a very slow planet in the solar system. It takes roughly 30 years to revolve round the sun and spends two and a half years in each zodiacal sign. That is why we say every slow movement as shaney shaney.

Shani is a best friend and when one heeds his advice, one is benefited. But those who don’t pay heed to its advice, he uses his whip. Lord Shani wants reformation, changes and good effects, whatever process he may have to pass. He does the work of culturing. Saturn perfects those traits in man which show weakness.

Saturn is not malefic as it is generally thought to be. It is only friend of those who want perfection in life. Our relation with Saturn is purely material and if it touches our consciousness, it is only to materialize it.

In September 2009 transit Saturn will enter Virgo and will remain there until 2011.

One need not get scared about the movement of this planet because if one’s positive attitude, outlook and karmas will definitely reduce the unfavourable effects of this planet.

Though Saturn will stay in Virgo for two and a half years. But the whole stay will not harm solace in humanity. Actually from December 2010 the aspect of Jupiter on transit Saturn will pacify this planet. It will bring some peace and harmony to the humanity. And many of the problems will start reducing.

Those who are born under the moon signs of Aquarius, Leo, Virgo and Libra need to take special precaution. Also those born under the moon sign Pisces need to take care.

The coming one month could bring natural and geological disasters in different parts of the world and especially to those countries or places which are under the effects of these zodiacal signs as in the coming month mars would aspect Saturn when it enters Gemini. And as we all know mars is the     

Now here I am describing some changes for those who are born in Aquarius as moon sign or ascendant. It will bring them health, service and problems from enemies. Their debts will increase and they can have problems from employees and subordinates. Aquarius people may face undue opposition at work place and from relatives specially relatives from father’s side.

You could have health problems related to feet, bones, knees, acids, ribs, marrows, hair, nails, legs, secretive system, nerves, left ear, large intestines, kidney, uterus and lower portion of legs.

Mental worries will also affect health on large.

Those born in Leo as moon sign.

This transit of Saturn will bring money problems as you could have reduced income, less profits and decline in wealth. For those involved in agriculture, iron items and trading, results will not be favourable. You may have big or small separation from family. You will have less pleasures of life in the coming year. Also problems could rise due to ineffective or wrong communications. Avoid arrogant speech and speculation.

Transit of Saturn on those born in Virgo and Libra will be discussed in my next post

Sadhe Satti and dhaia of Saturn

When in transit Saturn comes before and after [2nd or 12th] the moon it is known as sadhe-satti period. Saturn takes two and a half years to move from one rashi to the next. Therefore to cross these three rashi’s it will take seven and a half years. During this period one has to face many problems. As already said Saturn does the work of culturing. It will develop a person to finest individual through hard life and struggle.

In sadhe- satti there are three phases, charans or periods. In the first period of sadhe-satti which is of two and a half years, more effect will be on natives head. That is he will have mental pressures. In the second period of sadhe-satti that is in middle or next two and half years, native has more effect on heart and finally in the last period of sadhe-satti the effect will be on natives legs. Same way when Saturn is fourth and eighth from moon in the transit then it is known Dhaia of Saturn.  Eighth dhai of Saturn is more harmful than fourth dhai.

As according to the dasha system a person is supposed to live for at least 120 years. Therefore during a persons life who reaches near 100 or so years sadhe-satti may occur FOUR times which is very rare. Therefore very few people face the fourth period of sadhe-satti

Normally sadhe-satti may take place at least three times in native’s life.

First stage approximately occurs in younger age and a person is supposed to be very difficult. It may have bad effect on one’s career during this stage. Second is less difficult and it approximately comes in middle age but it mainly has bad effect on one’s health and third sadhe-satti which comes approximately in old age is usually considered MARAK.

Many reasons from which one can ascertain that one is facing problems due to sadhe-satti are

  1. bad health of most of the family members
  2. someone dies suddenly
  3. without any reason fire takes place at home
  4. shoes etc get lost
  5. ear or eye problems dominate
  6. increase in the use of non-vegetarian and wine at home
  7. some portion of house falls down
  8. Increase in fights at home.

 

Remedies or upayes: To be protected from the evils of sadhe-satti are

  1. Water peepal tree with milk and water.
  2. Do pooja of lord Shiva
  3. Men should worship lord Hanumanji more and more whereas ladies should worship maa durga more.
  4. Help your servants or needy persons as much as you can. But help them by heart and not that you have been asked by astrologer to help the needy. This is the BEST REMEDY in order to have least negative effects of Saturn or sadhe-satti.
  5. Perform maha mritunjaya mantra 108 times with rudraksha mala daily. The mantra is
  6. Light til or sarson oil deepak under peepal tree on Saturday after sunset in any temple.
  7. Wear iron ring in the middle finger of the left hand on Saturday made out of horse shoe or from the nail taken from the bottom of the boat.

Saturn / Lord Shani and Sadhe Satti

Saturn is a planet of darkness but lord shani enables a person after passing through odds and hard struggles to see a new light and by dint of that light one makes discoveries of many kinds.

Without the help of Saturn one cannot become a high order thinker. Lord Shani offers mental, moral courage, develops foresight, discipline, endurance and third eye sight.

Scientists, inventors, discoverers, explorers, martyrs, philosophers, religious leaders, social reformers are due to the grace of this planet Saturn.

Saturn is one of the greatest friends of the mankind. It represents resurrection. It is not satisfied until iron ore is turned into finest steel. Saturn does the work of culturing. It turns gross into subtle and finer substance.

Generally Saturn shows a malefic nature for all ascendants except Libra and Taurus whereas it acts as yog karka, lord of kendre and trine. The evils of Saturn are curbed when Saturn is poisted in its own or in its exaltation house or in Jupiter’s house and when it transits.
