PAGE SECOND EFFECT OF SATURN1
PAGE SECOND EFFECT OF SATURN
1 Mesha [Aries] enemy rash
Shani is debilitated in the rashi of his enemy Mangala. Unless rescued by neecha banga or parivartana or a kendra location, Shani will give poor results because the primitive selfishness of Mars the Hunter overtakes Shani's service instinct.
Over-identification with "me first" ethnicity, social class privilege, personal traits, individual achievements at the expense of public welfare. The native endures a bitter struggle to achieve true humility, often being humiliated in the process. (See Ronald Reagan, an icon of the modern culture of personal entitlement.)
Displaced competitive instincts, transferred from the natural realm of hunting & athletic sport into social & economic ideologies of winner-take-all. Oppressed by stronger personalities; tends to hide behind the power of the moment. Suffers from racial bigotry & selfishness, blaming others for his situation, and other displays of blocked self-determination.
2 Vrishabha[Taurus]
Shani enjoys being in His friend Shukra's sign. This type of blockage is not too difficult and will not interfere too much with progress of life, unless with Moon.
Native works hard & steadily accrues wealth. Manages cattle, forests, & agricultural assets. Needs to tame & control the natural groves & meadows. Frustrations stem from limits imposed on his property acquisitions. Wants to own landed property but often limited to managing it. If he owns it, responsibilities become burdensome.
Displaced pleasure sensations due to death or rejection of his family's values lineage. Distrusts indulgences. Must conquer nature through discipline of sensual denial. Limited permission to use the five senses for pleasurable purposes. Substitutes nose-to-the-grindstone work for nose-in-the-wine-bouquet pleasure. Limited time to enjoy the beauty around him. Is separated from historic values of his people. Limited access to natural wealth of artistic beauty, sensual pleasure, fine food & wine, exquisite textiles etc.
Yet he often finds pleasant working conditions, where his stability & following the golden mean is appreciated, and he does accumulate wealth albeit slowly. See Richard Nixon, Benito Mussolini
3 Mithuna [Gemini] neutral rashi
Does not enjoy his complicated thoughts & yet is besieged by them. Craves simple solutions to complex problems, & resists using language as a mediation tool. Can be quite taciturn mentally, churning on a single idea instead of allowing that idea to relate to other ideas. Does not like talk therapy.
Much trouble from sexual activity, which he oversimplifies & suppresses; does not flow easily. Fears the complexity of relationships. Gets stuck in a single stage of the multi-stage sexual process. Transfers sexual attraction-repulsion -communication energies into passive viewing, rather than participating. Nervous & hesitant in the elaborate dance of attraction. Tends to objectify love.
Displaced natural sexuality due to death or rejection by partner. Trouble with the give-and-take of reciprocal relationships. Generally happier in monastic life, at least after family responsibilities are discharged.
4
Karka [Cancer] neutral rash
Takes family responsibilities very seriously but tends toward scarcity thinking, over-accumulates. Survival instincts from past lives overtake modern confidence. Emotionally & morally conservative. Tends to be emotionally repressed, preferring to solve problems with denial rather than honesty.
Displaced emotions due to the mother's death or rejection: transfers affections to another source of security such as a religion, or the national Homeland. Often strong (sometimes over-reactive or narcissistic) patriots as a result. (See GW Bush, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Adolph Hitler,John F. Kennedy Sr., Indira Gandhi, Nelson Mandela)
| Das says, "Hardships & difficulties in early life, motherless, noble partner, reputed, absence of enemies, opposition from relatives, gentle, affluence in later life, a rolling stone." |
Exceptionally difficult place for Shani, in sign of his enemy Surya. Native wants recognition for individual achievements, but whatever he/she can accomplish it is never enough to please the authorities.
On a personal level the father withholds approval. Parents demand a better, more prestigious performance. Tends to be extremely ethical in public life, but ethical boundaries may be unsustainable personally.
Displaced confidence due to death or rejection from father. Tends to transfer the confidence he could not place in his unavailable father, onto another ethical authority such as religious teacher, court of law, or professional governing body. Lots of inner conflict.
6 Kanya [Virgo] neutral rash
Wants to have a problem, not a solution. Burdened by excessive, highly organized knowledge about social problems especially poverty & disease. Focuses on the problem at the expense of the solution. Attached to negative outcomes. Locked into a repeating set of personal problems. Complainer.
Concerned with chronic world ailments like war, famine, epidemic disease, pollution & overpopulation. Personally prone to complex illnesses & financial troubles. Good for any type of responsible work with victims, such as environmentalists & hospital or shelter managers.
Displaced analysis due to trauma of extreme conflict. The child of persecution & war, esp. war between the parents. Fearful. Life is about having problems. Will not allow a problem to be solved. Disliked & mistreated by problem-solvers such as physicians, financiers, & police.
7 Tula [Libra] uccha - exalted
Das says, "Gain through travel and foreign countries, gentle, soft, learned, philanthropic, recognized by the community, much intellectual exercises, broken home, attachment to prostitutes. Good for doctors and lawyers and any other profession also."
The best possible location for Shani, who operates in Tula as a paragon of Justice. Sign of His friend Shukra, ruler of the Scales.
Shani works effectively toward superior levels of Balance. Extraordinary discipline and broadly inclusive social perspective. This native works extremely hard & produces exceptionally beneficial public results. High quality leadership in social justice. Invariably a hard worker and will be successful in their chosen field of design - whether mechanical design, political design, artistic design, or other structural development.
The only failure mode for wonderful ucchaShani occurs with the mutual aspect from His mortal enemy uccha Surya. Those born when Ravi enters Mesha whilst Shani occupies Thula, are focused, ambitious workers. Unfortunately, uccha Ravi's aristocratic self-confidence is weakened by mutual drishti with His plebian enemy Shani. The consequence of this unhappy angle is a narcissistic, passive-aggressive quest for personal glory which limits the native's power to achieve the public recognition he seeks.
Presuming auspicious drishti & depending on the house location, uccha Shani can give huge wealth through large corporations.
-
See Bill Gates' philanthropy, where stunning wealth is is judiciously re-invested into greater social equity.
-
See Jimmy Carter or Ammachi for stellar public-service leadership, "leveraging" the wealth & power of large organizations to offset poverty and corruption of the disenfranchised.
8 Vrischika [Scorpio] enemy rash
Dicey position. Repressed anger. Obligation to do transformative work with scarce resources. Kuja's shamanistic drive to gain power by discovering the hidden secrets of human motivation conflicts with Shani's mandate for conformity, stability & rules.
Displaced magical & psychic powers due to death of tantric guru or rejection by spirit guides. One knows the spirits are there, but beings without bodies tend to be threatening & conflicted rather than supportive, and one often chooses to avoid them.
Blocked magical thinking; low trust in natural merging with the object of desire; repressed drive toward healing transformations. Imposes a painful sense of psychic separateness & abandonment regardless of material support. Tends to stay stuck in their pain, choosing to work rather than heal.
Can give good career results with parivartana yoga or kendra location, although generally not well-liked in the work-place due to intense, driving, critical work style. Workaholic. Without a supporting yoga, Shani in Kuja's shaman-hunter sign is moody & unpredictable. Follows their intuition without regard to due process. Because of this trait, best suited to independent & esoteric work.
Frustrated by attempts to do two mutually exclusive things: achieve leadership recognition and risk following their intuition. Seeks a wide scope of power but cramped by limited resources. Technical expert who wants opportunity & promotions yet dislikes conservative management. Feels cramped by mindless bureaucratic routine yet afraid to risk losing what power they have.
9 Dhanau [Sagittarius]
Not a bad setup (unless Shani occupies domain-7, which is extremely stressful for marriage). This native is not too cramped, usually friendly, inclusive, & easy going. The lowest-common-denominator rules enforced by Shani's need for public order, meets Guru's inclusive, generous, humanistic, showy religiosity.
Dhanau represents compassion & cosmic understanding from true religion. The native is blocked from deeper religious understanding but he still can practice the rituals & espouse the doctrine. Shani & Guru can share their terrain. Tends toward ritualistic religion, can be boastful about their supposed elite connections. All show & no substance unless Vrihaspati has strength. Does well in a dusthana, where circumstances promote service & humility.
Can be a good teacher in basic subjects particularly in open-admission public schools or other non-elite environments. Great sports coach, local festival promoter, or village priest. Appreciated for equable attitude in the workplace. Likes the social security of belonging to hierarchies that have long histories, colorful & dramatic ritual performances, clear rules for membership, and humanistic traditions.
Displaced priesthood due to death of religious lineage or rejection of one's inherited human culture. Performs the rituals with only partial understanding due to blocked access to deeper initiation. Not allowed to be an insider, never fully licensed or ordained. Good for functionaries in large organizations of all kinds.

10 Makara[Capricorn swakshetra
Solid position for Shani. Hard worker with a deep respect for the rule of law. Predictable and trustworthy mainstream values. Promotes public decency and pleasant manners. Willing to put in the work to gain the social approval s/he wants. Conservative and rather pedestrian in outlook, but utterly dependable. Strong sense of duty and will perform any job required of their position. Not creative and shouldn't try to be.
Conforms to conventional fashions. Wants security and approval, and obtains it through doing what they are told. Seeks a materially comfortable environment with minimal conflict and maximal protocol. Well-liked in business and government. Contented bureaucrat; servant of the people; an icon of reliable character, good manners and public decorum.
The downside of swakshetra Shani is that the nativetends to be quite capable of handling social responsibility and is prone to accept too much of it. If Shani dominated the radix, the native may not have any reliable identity outside his/her "job description."
See Princess Diana.
11 Kumbha [Aquarius] swakshetra
Another good place for Shani. Reformist conceptual thinker with broad social viewpoint, works well in scientific & philosophical environments. Can be a revolutionary change agent because they have a certain "x-ray vision" that sees the "skeleton" structure of human organizational psychology. Their conceptual vision points to openings where a social policy change is ready to be made. Very capable planner.
Can be effective social change activists within almost any ideological framework, from very conservative to very liberal & everything in between. Having chosen their values early in life, these native tend to be ideologues, rigidly loyal to principle, at the expense of adaptation & flexibility. Occasionally they do a radical "swing" from right to left, changing the values but retaining the rigidity! Sharply focused & typically successful in implementing rational schemes of all kinds at both the personal & public levels.
If Shani occupies a leadership position, native will be highly structured & disciplined in public service. Can suffer a downside of swakshetra Shani similar to Shani-Makara,if Shani dominates the radix. Can become identified with social responsibility to the exclusion of all else.
See H.H. Dalai Lama
12 Meena [Pisces]
Displaced childhood. Death of child within or rejection of childhood innocence due to abuse in childhood. Repressed imagination, limited permission to move to higher levels of consciousness. Blocked from peaceful meditations, despite strong discipline. Can be immature because the childhood maturation was suppressed or even aborted.
Good for responsible public service professions connected with children such as pediatric medicine or childcare policy development. Often want to meditate but can't because of time management conflicts. Don't concentrate well, yet do not have full permission to be creative. Stuck in bondage to belief that they should be mystical & artistic, but they can't be. Can be bitter about their (self-imposed) loss of creative opportunity. Generally pleasant folks just a bit disgruntled and feeling deprived. Therapy to rejuvenate the inner child can be very helpfuL
