SATURN
Saturn is one of the beautiful planet of our Solar world. Saturn is considered to be a malefic planet. Sorrow, Pain, Ailments, Death, Journey, Age, Slavery, Sculpture, Arms and Detachment are signified by Saturn.
Saturn is called Yama because it is the chief governor of longevity. Saturn is also called St. Peter holding the keys of both Heaven and Hell. It rules over hard and laborious work as well as over responsible positions in life. Saturn is a planet of delay. Saturn is barren, binding, cold, constant, dry, defensive, hard, nervous and secretive planet.
As per Ancient Vedic Texts, Saturn is a Cruel planet. Astrologically, Saturn is the Lord of Zodiac sign Capricorn and Aquarius. It is Exalted in zodiac sign Libra and Debilitated in zodiac sign Aries. It is said that planet Saturn is a judge of our past deeds. The planet Saturn is a Natural Benefactor of Jobs and Services, Metals, Industries, Age, Poverty, Hardships, Diseases, all kinds of obstacles and selfishness.
A person having weak or a malefic Saturn in his horoscope has to undergo sufferings in all his life and his progress is very slow even with a very hard work. However, if the planet Saturn is favourable in a person's horoscope then he can get very good Success, Name and Fame in his Business / Career especially in those areas that are governed by Saturn like Industries. When Saturn is adverse, it causes many problems, accidents, conflicts, poor financial position, sorrow, sadness, depression, poverty etc. Under such circumstances, a Shani Puja can bring peace and comfort.
If the planet Saturn is in conjunction with planet Rahu, then it forms a bad yoga known as " Shani Rahu Shrapit Dosha " which adversely affects almost all the areas of life and the person's life is full of hardships. Similarly, if the planet Saturn is in conjunction with planet Moon, then it forms another bad yoga known as " Shani Chandra Vish Yoga ". Such a person is very intelligent, yet at times he can fall prey to extreme negativity and depression. In all such cases, a Shani Puja can be extremely beneficial.
A person is said to be under the major affliction of Saturn known as "Saturn Sade Sati" when the planet Saturn is transiting through the 12th, 1st and 2nd house from the Natal Chart Moon, each transit being of approximately two and a half years. A person has to undergo all kinds of hardships during this period including stress, anxiety, tensions, loss of mental peace as well as financial losses. These problems are more profound if the planet Saturn is malefic in the horoscope. Similarly, a person is said to be under the minor affliction of Saturn known as "Small Panoti" when the planet Saturn is transiting through the 4th or 8th house from his Natal Chart Moon. The adverse effects of Small Panoti are also similar to Saturn Sade Sati. In both these afflictions also, a Shani Puja can give an immense relief by the blessings of Lord Saturn.
Mythology:
Shani is the son of Sun and Chhaya. Saturn is a planet, which has been much, wronged and was cursed by his own wife and celestial mother Parvati. In fact after realizing her mistake Maa Parvati gave a boon to Saturn that no important event in the life of a person will occur unless Saturn gives his divine sanctity to that work either by transit or aspect to such relevant house.
He is the elder brother to Yama(the god of death) therefore he plays the role of Yama and can bring an end to life. Therefore, if a bad Dasha is running and at the same time there is an evil transit of Saturn and the age of death have come Saturn will definitely kill. But, Saturn also represents detachment. It has great spiritual value. No saint can take birth without a well-placed and strong Saturn.

Saturn in Psycological Astrology
If the meaning of Jupiter is to develop through expansion, then that of Saturn is to mature through constraint. Its position in the chart can highlight where we encounter loss, frustration and failure, and the emotional pain that this entails. Its experience is usually hard and the value is often not recognised until Saturn's other quality, time, has been allowed to pass.
For many people, especially those who have matured in outlook and vision, Saturn transits can be a beneficial time, where qualities of stability and steady investment in long term planning prove well rewarded. The period can act as a reminder that sacrifices made in the past were fitting and well considered. Saturn will always bring an 'aging' touch, a feeling of getting older and slowing down; sometimes it brings a surprising awareness that we are actually content to give up the dreams and ambitions that drove our passions in the past.
In its negative expression, Saturn only touches those areas of life that have outgrown their purpose and relevance, passed beyond their natural time, or have inappropriately strained against a sense of order which is beneficial to maintain. Like winter, it comes to prune away all that is inhibiting to future growth, and by bringing a period of temporary restraint, it forces us to consolidate our position. Saturn may challenge us to consider the extent to which we, as individuals, are able to stand alone and 'let go' of relationships and material comforts that we have come to love and rely upon. Some of its transits will coincide with periods of loneliness and emotional isolation; some simply carry disappointment as a venture built upon false reality is shown in its true colours. Saturn can often coincide with a period of financial loss or the failure of a business idea, but Saturn didn't necessarily set the seeds for that loss, it only revealed its inevitable conclusion. Saturn deals with reality and forces us to face it.
Because its orbit is so slow, we can predict in general terms the times when Saturn's maturing influence will be felt most keenly. Around the age of seven Saturn squares its natal position and heralds a key phase of child development which witnesses the loss of 'baby teeth'. The opposition occurs around 14 years, when we enter puberty with the loss of childhood. The next square occurs around 21 years, when we move away from adolescence and begin life as an adult, though true maturity is not said to begin until after the 'Saturn return', which falls around the ages of 29-30. Most people experience an important change at this time, often accompanied with loss, sadness and depression. Only with the gift of hindsight do we see how we emerge from the event feeling somewhat older, but mainly a great deal wiser.
Saturn's Rulerships
The Sun is seen as the planet of creativity, light and life - Saturn, the Lord of Death, is viewed as its enemy. As the Sun rules Leo, and governs the height of summer, Saturn takes rulership of the signs that govern midwinter, Capricorn (its nocturnal home) and Aquarius (its diurnal home). Saturn is a diurnal planet and therefore more openly expressive in Aquarius than Capricorn.
Capricorn and Aquarius correspond to the depths of winter, when life is inclined towards hibernation and activities are impeded by the cold, dark environment. This is a time of particular concern for the elderly and weak, although all of us are more susceptible to feelings of weariness and depressed vitality. Most of the world's population lives in the northern hemisphere where the influence of Saturn dominates the natural world at this time of year. The trees are bare, the ground is hard, nature presents us with a hostile environment and the Sun's light is weak and short-lived. In protection our clothing is heavy, inhibitive to free movement and the absorption of vitamin D and uplifting steroids and nutrients derived from the Sun's light. The result is that we feel sluggish and prone to illness and debilitating colds. Winter is a melancholy time and Saturn governs the melancholic temperament.
