According to Vedic astrology, Shani Bhagavan is one of the nine Navagraha or planets. Shani is
considered to be the strongestmalefic and a stern teacher who represents patience, effort,
)
endeavour, and endurance; and who brings restrictions and misfortunes. However, a favourably-
TH
placed Shani on the horoscope of a person stands for a strong career, healthy life and everything
positive for that person. In fact, a well-placed Shani in ones horoscope is something every
NA
astrology-believing Hindu hopes for, as no other grahacan bestow what a favourable Shani can.
AK
Shani placed unfavourably, on the other hand, denotes troubles in all of the above. Shani
ismuch feared by those Hindus who believe in astrology, as the malefic effects of his being
UP
unfavourably placed can be quite severe.
.R
However, it is to be remembered that any pleasure or pain that befalls a person during Shanis
DR
influence is not arbitrary; rather, it is the result of the persons own karma, now being manifested
in the presence of Shani. Thus an unfavourably-placed Shani brings about the harsh results
JI(
of ones bad karma, and vice-versa. The diseases which Lord Shani gives are decay, constriction,
TH
poor blood supply, atrophy, etc. and at mental level narrow mind, low thinking. These diseases
need to be cured by Lord Shani rules and regulations only.
NA
UP
The planet Shani or Saturn revolves around the Sun in about 30 years, which means it passes
through all the 12 rashis or moon signs in 30 years. Thus Shani Bhagavan spends on an average
.R
about two and half years in each rashi or moon sign. This movement of Shani through the moon
DR
signs carries great importance in Hindu astrology and horoscope predictions. The effect of Shani
starts when it enters the previous rashi/moonsign to ones own birth rashi and stops when it
leaves the rashi /moonsign after ones birth rashi. The total period of 7.5 years (2.5 years 3) is
called Saadesaati or Elanata Shani, and is typically a period of great difficulty. When it occurs
for a person foregoing Shani Maha Dasha the malefic effects of the planet are highly
pronounced. It is said that Shani can reduce even a king to a pauper during such period.Shani
rules the signs Makara (Capricorn) and Kumbha (Aquarius), is exalted in Tula (Libra) and is
debilitated in Mesha (Aries). Mercury, Venus, Rahu, Ketu are considered friendly towards Shani
or Saturn, while the Sun, Moon and Mars are enemies. Guru or Jupiter maintains neutral
relations with Shani. Shani is the lord of three nakshatras or lunar mansions: Pushya, Anuradha
and Uttara Bhadrapada.
Shani Bhagavan has the following associations: his color is black or dark blue, metal is iron and
gemstone is Blue Sapphire. His element or tattva is air, direction is west (where the sun sets and
darkness begins) and he rules all seasons. The traditional foods for Shani are sesame seeds or
black gram, black lentils his flower is the violet and he is linked to all black animals and all trees
that are considered useless and ugly.Shani rules over masses. Without the planets blessings in
ones horoscope, a mass following is difficult to come by. It is said that an exalted Saturn in the
ascendant (or Lagna) of ones horoscope awards one with such leadership position entailing
fame from and recognition among masses. Moreover, such people are said to have high
commitment and perseverance for the task at hand.
On the other hand, a debilitated Saturn in ones horoscope makes ones Karma weak and such
individual with debilitated Saturn is said to have poor commitment and perseverance towards
duties and hence suffers in the process of completing ones karmic obligations.

dasa for the wrong doings. Even in Shani
TH
Dosha, if a person is Righteous & Devoted he is sure to come out of this period without any ill
NA
effects.
Lord Shaniswara is more known for his Blessings than his ill effects. No other graha is
AK
comparable with Lord Shani in terms of blessings. He showers with his blessings at the end of
UP
his dasha.His Adi-Devata is Prajapati and Pratyadi-Devata is Yama. Lord Shani tests the
personpatience, He tries to correct our immoral acts by creating frustrations, and delays. In the
.R
end He makes one conscious enough to understand the mistakes. He removes ignorance from
DR
mind by punishment, the benefits that He matures the soul of being and person turns copper to
gold from within i.e. he begins to understand the Truths of life, the futility of his actions done out
JI(
of ignorance. One comes to understand after Lord Shani periods that not much is in control of
TH
human beings. It is all divine acting on human beings through the agents of Gods. Lord Shani is
the greatest purifier, everything false will perish and only Truth will shine, that is His message.

People born on number 8 are ruled by Lord Shani in numerology. It is a proven fact that number
8, 26 born on any month will have hardships in their life. The hardship has a purpose and it is
.R
important to identify the purpose in this lifetime. Remedies of appeasing Shani, includes taking
DR
responsibility of wrong actions, self-analysis and hard work. Donation of blue cloth on Saturdays
and serving poor also helps
Vish YogaVish Yoga is formed when Saturn and Moon are together or when sat aspects
Moon. It is not a good yoga and person born under this yoga can do harm of persons represented
by the house in which Saturn is placed.
Shani and Chandra Yuti, generally considered as VISH YOGA (Poison Combination). and it
does creates bad effect on Mother and her health particularly. But more importantly see the 4th
House of the Native for Mother Son / Mother and Daughter relations.
If Saturn is with Mars / Rahu in 4th House or making Kendra / Samsaptak Yoga like 4-10
combination then there are much more chaces that it will create rift between them. This normally
leads to separation in the relation. A very painful patch for family in general.
If Saturn and Moon are in Yuti where the distance between the Planets is less than 5 degrees then
generally it gives worst effects. It can make the Native emotionally and Mentally weak. Saturn
poisons the Natural emotions of Moon causing lack of Expression and Emotions from Native
These people are Hard working in Nature but success comes after the Age of 30-32. They
generally land in to Service Industry after series of Failures.
They are Strict in Discipline and make a Good Administrator. This Yuti gives Bad effects during
Each Others Dasa and Antar Dasas. It reflects losses of the House where both the Planets are
located. eg. If this Yuti is in 5th House then, Chandra Mahadasa with Shani Antardasa or vice
versa will give Bad effect to Native, which leads to Failure in Exams, Sudden Change in

Education Streams, Failure in Love Affair or Problem to Son/Daughter of Native
