The most fascinating fact about Saturn (also known as ‘Shani’) is that it is the judge of our previous and present lives’ Karmas. Whatever you do in this or previous incarnations accumulates as Karma, which is then returned to you as a reward or punishment. Your good Karmas provide you rewards, whereas your bad Karmas bring you punishments or difficulties. Having said that, Vedic Astrology has the ability to assist you in navigating this judgmental planet and understanding how you can regulate your karmas, as it always has. The long-term effects of having the Saturn planet in your horoscope are discussed in this conversation with India’s leading astrologer, Dr. Vinay Bajrangi.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D.
Saturn is known in Hindu Astrology as Shani, which is derived from the Hindi term “Shanaiye Shanaiye,” which loosely translates to “something that goes slowly.” Saturn moves slowly in comparison to the other planets in your horoscope, which goes without saying. In comparison to other planets that can leave a sign in 30, 45, or 360 days, Saturn or Shani takes 2.5 years to leave a Moon sign. One reason for Saturn’s slow movement could be that it is so far away from Earth that it takes a long time for it to complete one spin.
Saturn is said to be the son of Surya (Sun) and his wife Chhaya in Hindu mythology. Since then, the father-son relationship has remained difficult, according to traditional beliefs. As a result, Saturn is still a sluggish, cold, and dry planet. Saturn, in other terms, is likewise associated with ‘aged people.’ Saturn is considered a malefic planet by those who practice or study astrology, and it is blamed for all kinds of problems in your life, such as grief, misery, and losses. If the planet Saturn aligns with a favorable planet in your horoscope, you will be rewarded and live a long time.
Saturn, in our current era, serves as a teacher and judge of our life activities and decisions. Shani encourages us to do good karmas by rewarding us for them, but he also punishes us for our unethical activities or sins.

This is entirely due to misunderstanding, in my opinion. Saturn isn’t always regarded as a nasty planet. I don’t want to instill fear in your head, but Saturn may be either malefic or benefic depending on how you approach life.
“Oh, Saturn is usually detrimental,” people commonly say. Though I agree that Saturn is one of the most feared planets, it is also the Karmic planet, which means Saturn’s influence on your life is guided by your own karmas. As a result, instead of blaming Saturn for whatever awful things are happening in your life, I would advise individuals to read more about their own karmas.
The impact of Saturn on your life is determined by whether you accept it out of fear or faith. “Let your trust (Dharma) override your fear (Adharma),” I encourage them, in my opinion.
I’ve been practicing astrology for over two decades, and after that time, I can confidently state that your horoscope contains both positive and bad Yogas. Nonetheless, there is no need to be elated or dejected as a result of this. The final consequence of the planetary positions is determined by your personal Karma and many other things. How else can we explain why a man who was once a billionaire is now a pauper, or why a superstar is now a nobody? Saturn’s presence in your horoscope also boosts your faith in miracles as well as disasters. As you may have witnessed in the cases of politicians, businesspeople, and spiritual Gurus, we sometimes get caught up in transgressions in order to realize our dreams by trick or crook. Many of them are currently incarcerated. As a result, a sense of insecurity creeps into our minds. My real suggestion would be to let your ‘Dharma’ be stronger than your ‘Adharma’ if you wish to avoid being trapped at the crossroads like others.
Saturn’s shadow, Dristi (aspect), association, Dasha (period), Dhaiyya (2.5 year period), and Sade Sati (7 year period) reveal some of the seemingly scary facades of Saturn’s rigorous control over your life. Saturn’s MahaDasha and Sade Sati are the most feared of these. An novice astrologer, whom I compare to a roadside quack, ends up frightening his clients with Saturn’s terrible traits, oblivious to the fact that this will cause more harm than usual.
DVBThere are many people who, at the instigation of incompetent astrologers, are trapped in a frightened clutch of half-baked knowledge and senseless rituals regarding Saturn and its effect. To them, Saturn/Shani is nothing more than a reflection of their own karma. Saturn is the planet that reflects your good or bad deeds in life and rewards or punishes you accordingly. Saturn is thought to have a crooked appearance, with a tall, skinny frame, disheveled self, sunken eyes with noticeable veins, and so appears older than its age. Saturn is a stubborn, quarrelsome, and, more often than not, a loner when it comes to behavior. Having stated that, your lifetime and propensity to illness are determined by this planet!
If features like stubbornness, quarrelsome attitude, or lonely disposition are more apparent in your horoscope, it indicates that a negative Saturn has a greater influence on that person. Without understanding the bad claws of fate tightening around him, such a person ends up terrifying others, inflicting suffering on others on purpose, humiliating people without reason, or being extremely selfish.
People with strong tendencies like these, which are indicative of Saturn’s influence, do not readily admit to being influenced by it. They must, however, remember not to commit a crime in order to avoid later pleading before a court who knows everything.
After all is said and done, Vedic Astrology has particular karmic techniques to appease the planet before, during, or after the commencement of Sade Sati, which can bring you luck in several facets of your life.
DVBWhenever the subject of Saturn comes up in conversation, people only bring up its negative aspects. They talk about Sade Sati, Dhaiya, and other things, but Shani, in my opinion, deserves more respect and less dread. Shani, being the Karmic Planet, is closely linked to an individual’s Karmas. Shani punishes you for negative karmas and rewards you for good karmas, just like an unbiased judge. In reality, as previously said, Saturn serves as both a teacher and a judge in astrology. Because of the reverence with which Saturn is held in Vedic Astrology, various seers and philosophers have described Saturn’s influence on various Moon signs. If you ask me how Saturn affects each lunar sign in general, I’ll divide it into five categories:
- Taurus, Capricorn, and Aquarius are blessed by Saturn.
- Saturn is a benevolent planet for Libra.
- For Aries, Scorpio, and Pisces, Saturn is a malefic planet.
- Cancer, Leo, and Sagittarius are all extremely Malefic signs.
- For Gemini and Virgo natives, Saturn is Neutral.
The two factors that can go beyond all of Saturn’s significance and influences on each Moon sign, however, are a person’s karma and Saturn’s transit.
The karmas of a person
Saturn will not damage a person unless that person harms others. Saturn can be your worst enemy in that situation, but it can also be your best friend in the opposite case. Saturn isn’t necessarily a bad guy or a bad influence. Saturn is malefic to some Zodiac signs and benefic to others if we look at things from a higher perspective. Its effects are not uniform, and, more significantly, the outcomes can be heavily influenced by a person’s karmas. Saturn’s effect on different moon signs is determined on how much you believe in the Karma hypothesis.
Saturn’s Transit
The transit of Saturn is also essential when it comes to Saturn’s influence on a person. Saturn spends 2.5 years in each zodiac sign. At the moment, Capricorn is said to be the best sign for a Saturn transit. If you truly want to get the most out of Saturn, visit with a skilled astrologer and learn about its impact on your Moon sign. This, in my opinion, is the finest approach to make Saturn your buddy and have him always act as a teacher for you.
So, rather than condemning this beautiful Karmic planet, one should focus on Karma repair, according to Dr. Vinay Bajrangi, a well-known Indian astrologer. He’s just published a series of pieces that cover a wide range of topics.

Which planet has been linked to depression?
Depression can be triggered by the Moon’s conjunction with Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. A mental imbalance can be caused by a debilitated Moon, Mercury, or Jupiter. The Moon’s conjunction with Saturn causes a person’s thinking to become heavy.
What Graha is in charge of bad thoughts?
Concentration is one of the most important skills for success in any endeavor, whether it be education, employment, or home construction. Higher levels of concentration can help us realize our entire potential and unlock our hidden abilities. When your concentration is low, you will become suspicious, more pessimistic, and depressed. You will feel damaged and insecure. The more concentrated you are at work, the more productive you will be, which will lead to recognition, advancement, financial success, and, eventually, a happy existence.
Here are a few everyday indicators of persons who have a concentration problem:
- You frequently lose track of where you put things.
- While cooking, several items are missing.
- Breaking your commitments in both personal and professional spheres on a regular basis
- You don’t want to meet anyone, even if it might be beneficial to you.
- Continue to think garbage, live in a fantasy world; sometimes you don’t even realize what you’re thinking.
- You’re having trouble performing chores that you used to be able to do with ease.
All of the following signs of inability to concentrate can lead to depression or mental instability over time. A negative individual will not only bring about his or her own demise, but will also bring about the demise of others. He’ll start looking for flaws in others and blaming them for his own mistakes. Such people become self-obsessed and are continuously thinking about how they lost relevance, putting them under a great deal of mental strain and stress, and obstructing their growth.
Rahu, Ketu, Moon, and Mercury are the key significators or ‘Karaka’ planets for Concentration.
Which planet is in charge of making decisions?
Bad karma presents itself in the form of poor decisions and miscommunication, which inevitably aggravates rather than resolves issues.
- People will keep moving back and forth on their decisions if the 1st lord is placed in a dual sign. For example, if a girl wishes to marry a man, she will vacillate since her ascendant or lagna lord is in a dual sign.
- The person will be confused and emotional if there are too many planets in the first house, as too many energies will impact him or her.
- If the sixth lord is in the first house, the individual will be his own worst enemy while making decisions.
- If the eighth lord is in the first house, the person will be depressed and suicidal.
- If the 10th lord is in the 1st house, the person will be self-centered, practical, and efficient.
Planets in lagna/ascendant (consider Bhava chart to be more effective) and its influence on individual decision making capabilities !
Sun: The individual will be quite clear and reasonably quick to make decisions. Will be most useful in the mornings and to a big number of people. Relationships will be the single aspect of their management that they will fail to master.
Moon: They are most effective at night and are quick to make decisions. They excel in group discussions, and loving and pleasing others are their top priorities. They are extremely sensitive to other people’s sentiments and hence are unable to act appropriately in a crisis.
Mars: They are excellent at dealing with crises and are ruthless and demanding in difficult situations. They are fearless, assertive, and, to a degree, egotistical.
Mercury: They are quick, practical, and witty when it comes to getting things done. They excel at logical reasoning, math, and statistics. They are also excellent managers. They rarely deviate from facts, and using intuition is a challenge for them.
Jupiter: They are at their finest when dealing with morality, values, and judgments. They accept reality and take very practical steps because they are truthful. They are helpful, selfless, and observe things from a higher vantage point.
Venus: They are experts at dealing with love, marriage, and other types of partnerships. They’re at their best at night. They’re quite practical and only need a little help now and then. They stick to their decisions after they’ve made them. The majority of advertising and film professionals have a strong Venus streak in their horoscope.
Saturn: They take a long time to make decisions and spend the most of their time debating the same subjects. They are constantly changing their minds and making decisions.
Rahu: When it comes to making decisions, they are astute, shrewd, and calculated. They are astute and self-centered, and they adjust to the circumstances. They can also give sound advise.
They are intuitive, showy, and genius-like. Ketu: They are intuitive, flashy, and genius-like. They excel in situations where there is a lack of information. They make decisions and solve problems using their intuitive abilities.
Consider planets aspecting that sign or its owner if no planet is placed in the ascendant or 1st cusp.
Decision Making Capabilities of people born in 12 Moon Signs :
Which sign comes up with the best decision for a group of pals planning an outing?
Aries: Don’t let their exuberance get the best of you. Aries will demonstrate expertise and class when faced with a difficult decision. They will turn into mature beings capable of considering multiple perspectives. When it comes to making decisions about individuals, they are ideal.
Taurus: They’re the type who sits down with a pen and paper and scribbles their concerns in the Agony Aunt columns of newspapers. When it comes to making a decision, they don’t mind following the advise of others. At the end of the day, they make good decisions, so you have to respect that.
Gemini: As soon as they become aware of a difficult challenge, their minds begin to tick. As a result, making decisions is second nature to them. Because one Gemini person usually equals two persons when compared to the other zodiac signs, they are twice as quick to make decisions, and they make them well.
Cancer: Please take them out, make them a cup of coffee, and explain how to make a decision. They are frequently fickle and do not give problems sufficient consideration until the last minute, causing them to reverse their decisions. Cancerians aren’t great at making important decisions, whether in their personal lives, at business, or at home.
Leo: Leos are natural leaders who must make decisions as part of their work. Allow children to utilize their minds freely, and you’ll be shocked at how quickly they can make a decision and carry it out. They are extremely self-assured and have only been accused of making bad decisions in their lives on a few occasions.
Virgo: Virgos don’t want to make a mistake. As a result, they make sure to do some research before making a selection. When Virgos need to make a decision, don’t be shocked if they run to the library or to their computers. They simply want to check if there have been any precedents and to read about how others have dealt with similar situations.
If you have a Libran in charge of your management, you may rest assured that nothing will go wrong. Librans have the ability to look at things objectively, which may be a representation of balance. They may make difficult judgments, but they never make bad ones.
Scorpio: Don’t include a Scorpio in stupid decisions unless they are extremely vital, such as how to save the firm or what we should do to save his life. These folks despise being picky about minor details in life. If you give them great chances, they will succeed.
Sagittarius: While Sagittarians are progressive and often think outside the box, they aren’t afraid to change their minds on the spur of the moment if the occasion calls for it. Do you have a friend who quit a job and returned two weeks later to the same place? He or she might be a Sagittarian!
Capricorn is the zodiac sign with the best decision-making abilities. Their sole stipulation is that they be given enough time. Even in an emergency, they prefer to weigh the pros and disadvantages before proceeding. If you have a mature Capricornian to make decisions for you, consider yourself lucky.
If you give an Aquarian a menu card and ask them to choose a starter, chances are you will go hungry while they are still looking through the menu card for something to eat. These people require assistance, and thankfully, they are aware of this.
Pisces: Pisceans are fiercely independent, and when they have to make a decision, they feel powerful. These people, once again, enjoy playing the decision-maker and hence excel in this job whenever they take it on. Pisceans, after the Capricorns, are good decision-makers.
Which planet is in charge of one’s self-esteem?
- If Mars is in a positive sign in your horoscope, you should wear Moonga to boost your self-esteem.
- If you want to satisfy your self-esteem demands, I recommend wearing Manek in gold and copper on your index finger.
- In your horoscope, the Sun must be quite powerful, therefore you should worship it on a frequent basis to keep it strong. I also suggest that you chant the ‘Aditya Hridaya Strot.’ OM RIM SURYAYE NAMAH can also be spoken 21 times a day.
- Wearing a 1 mukhi or 11 mukhi rudraksha, in my experience, is a convenient approach to maintain constant confidence.
- You should also hide honey in a mud pot somewhere near the lonely spot.
- God always has a plan to provide you with what you deserve and desire, so keep working hard. Between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., chant ‘Om Klim.’ Chanting this will attract your much-needed energy, resulting in an increase in your self-esteem.
- I also suggest that you wear a copper coin around your neck, since this has proven to be an effective treatment.
- Mercury represents self-assurance and great communication skills, so it should be strengthened to boost your self-assurance.
- On Wednesday, you must provide grass to cows or feed a crow or dog to boost your Mercury.
Which planet is to blame for the betrayal?
Saturn, the son of Lord Surya and Chhaya, is seen to be the greatest teacher, rewarding those who do good and punishing those who do evil and betrayal. Lord Shani, also known as the Lord of Karma and Justice, is the most malefic planet, bringing limits and disasters.
Who or what planet is to blame for mental illness?
Moon represents mind in Vedic astrology, while Mercury represents reasoning and knowledge. Jupiter is associated with wisdom and maturity. Mental disease is more likely if these three planets are afflicted in the horoscope. In judging mental diseases, the fifth house of the horoscope has a specific role to play.
When Rahu is weak, what happens?
If Rahu is malefic and the Moon is weak, the native will be poor, and the native’s mother will be as well. Collecting char coal, changing the toilet, putting an oven in the ground, and changing the roof on the house are all signs of maleficent intent. Silver is a good choice.
