TRANSIT EFFECTS OF SATURN IN LEO
The transit
of the planets in Western astrology is considered from the 'orb' and aspects
caused to the cuspal mid points as well as to the planets' position in the birth
chart. The Hindu method of finding the transit results is from the transit of
the planets across moon-sign (rasi). The major planets sani (Saturn), guru
(Jupiter), rahu (northern node) and ketu (southern node) are considered.
Extra-saturnine planets i.e. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are not considered in
Hindu astrology. Brihat Jataka says, "Mukya saptaha" (important 7 planets). In
this article the transit of rahu and ketu are not explored as the results are
similar to the transit of sani and kuja. Further, they being shadow planets, do
not exactly give their 'own ' results - but reflect the results of the planets
aspecting /conjoining them.
Transit
of Saturn is always most feared one. There is a saying in Sanskrita, "If you can
tell that the problems are due to sani, you have already learnt astrology! "Some
astrologers, priests get on well due to sani! Saturn in ardhastma (4th) produces
separation from family members, passing away of mother or her equals.
Unhappiness, problems related to purchase of properties. In the saptama (7th)
position he would cause separation from family members, delay in marriage or
discard in married life, ill health to wife. The native will be prone to
accidents and will have confinement in bed due to this. In the astama (8th)
position, he gives disgrace, humiliations, loss of popularity, poverty, failures
in all fronts. In the 12-1-2 positions (popularly known as sade-sathi) he causes
hospitalizing, separation from family, untimely meals, lack of rest and sleep,
loss of name and a sense of left alone in life. Financial and familial problems,
mental worries also will be there. One more point is that, Saturn during his
adverse transits will cause sufferings due to any in- born tendencies. Any
health problems during such periods will have a tendency to prolong. Similarly,
10th Saturn gives anxiety, misunderstandings in the professional circles. In 6th
guru causes weakness and all infections due to break down in immune system.
Anxiety, mounting loans, losses due to enemies, penalties from the government,
and no help available in time. Trusted friends, relatives not available at the
time of need. In the 8th he causes failures in all fronts, unhappiness, disputes
with elders. In the 12th Jupiter gives ever increasing expenditure. Wasteful
investments, worries related to children.
There are certain points called vedha points. When Jupiter transits in the 8th,
if there is any planet in the 11th from moon-sign, the adverse effects will not
be felt. A planet in the 2nd from moon-sign protects you from the 12th transit
of Jupiter. But when Jupiter is in the 6th, there are NO VEDHA points and that
means, this transit is more troublesome for the whole year.
Similarly, only the 12th transit of Saturn has vedha point and any planet in the
3rd will stop Saturn from doing bad. There are no vedha points for 4-7-8-10-1-2
transits. If Saturn is a functional benefic in the chart, the problems (though
they seem to be so) will put foundation stone for good progress later on.
Depending on the affliction, shanti by recitation of certain beeja/veda mantras
several thousand times to some simple mantras which can be recited by the native
can be used. Rudrabhisheka, service in temples, keeping good company is better.
Saturn enters Leo on 01.11.2006 and retrogrades from 7.12.2006 in Leo and in
this retrogression state traces back to Cancer on 21.01.2007. He continues the
retrogression motion till 20.04.2007. Saturn re-enters Leo on 16.07.2007. He
is retrograde in Leo from 20.12.2007 to 03.05.2008 and also from 01.01.2009 to
18.05.2009 and finally he leaves the sign Leo on 10.10.2009. He will not
re-enter Leo again after he moves to Virgo. You are spared from Saturn till
28.08.2036 when he comes to Leo again! He suffers combustion from 05.08.2007 to
09.09.2007 and from 18.08.2008 to 21.09.2008 and from 01.09.2009 to 05.11.2009.
In the state of combustion he leaves Leo on 10.10.2009. Can you hear my
skeptic friends laughing at me? A bit of common sense is needed. The apparent
retrograde motion starts when Saturn is away by 251° from Sun and the direct
motion is resumed when Saturn comes close to Sun by 109°. Retrogression is
apparent phenomenon, no planets track backwards in its orbit. When your car
accelerates, the car beside you seems to recede backwards, though both cars move
in the same direction.
In my humble experience I find that the planets in retrogression gives 'stay' order! Nothing happens - neither good nor bad - but the issues are kept on low flame. They do not go away either. For those having benefic transit, the results will be withheld. There will be respite from evil transit for those who suffer evil effects. Saturn's transit in 3rd, 6th and 11th from rasi (moon-sign) brings good results, provided there are no planet/s (other than Sun) transiting in the 12th, 9th and 5th respectively from moon-sign. Similarly, for those having evil transit in the 12th, 9th and 5th, the planet/s (other than Sun) in 3rd, 6th and 11th respectively give relief from evil effects. The effect of a single planet can not be isolated. The net effect can be assessed by study of other planets, perhaps some may cause vedha to the transit or that guru may be in good position to reduce the effects. Similarly, the effects of retrogression and combustion differ. All these are featured in monthly forecast, updated every month.
Anga sani, murthy nirnaya methods are not reliable. Transit effect can also be
considered using astakavarga of sani, which depend on individual charts. It is
more technical in nature and is beyond purview of this article. Though Saturn is
bad in other houses (other than 3,6 and 11), the WORST transits are 4th (ardhatama
sani), 7th (saptama sani), 8th (astama sani) and 12-1-2 transit (sade-sati).
If you are born in Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra and Taurus moon sign or
ascendant, you need not have to worry - no matter whatever the position of
Saturn be in transit. You will not suffer any harm at all. You need not have to
implement any remedial measures. If Saturn is causing delay in any aspects in
your life - due to his association, aspect etc., - you are not exempt and should
perform shanti to speed up the fructification of results. That is independent of
the transit.
Some astrologers in Philippines, Gulf, Pakistan and Hyderabad (fortunately not
complete Andhra Pradesh) suggest blue sapphire (also known as pusharaga, neelam,
indraneela) to ward off the evil effects of Saturn's transit. This is against
the principles of Hindu astrology. Wearing blue sapphire during the adverse
transit will further aggravate the sufferings!
If your chart has Saturn in dignity like being in own sign, in exaltation or
being yogakaraka, you can continue wearing blue sapphire, even in adverse
transit.
Following are the moon-sign wise results of Saturn in Leo, keeping in view the
retrogression period and vedha. Transit is one of the concepts in astrology.
The intensity of the results may vary depending on the dasa-bhukti, strength,
position and ownership of Saturn in the natal chart. A clear picture will emerge
when you consult a professional astrologer.
THE TRANSIT OF SANI EFFECTS ALL RASIS ( MOON SIGNS):
ARIES
(MESHA): Aswini, Bharani and Kritika 1st pada :
For Aries, it is the 5th transit. Except of the period of retrogression and
during vedha caused by planets in the 11th from moon sign, there would be
disappointments in life, particularly in love affairs. For students, it is a
period of confusion and lack of concentration. Shanti for Saturn is not
required at the time of onset of the transit. It is better to recite
sani kavacha once a day.
Fasting on Saturdays is desirable, at least during night. Shanti can be thought
of at a later date, if the problems are felt unbearable which also depends on
the dasa-bhukti running as per your natal chart. It is advisable to visit
navagraha temple and do prakakshina on Saturdays reciting
namaskara mantra at least
18 times. The results that flow out of 5th transit are: Loss due to children
and disappointment or worries/troubles due to them, separation from family
members, anxiety, no recognition or help from others, failure in love affairs.
Also, you will suffer false allegations, litigations and mental agony.
You are spared from the above problems when there is check to the adverse transit by Rahu and other planets till 05.05.2008; by Venus from 30.12.2008 to 22.01.2009; by Mars from 08.03.2009 to 15.04.2009; by Jupiter from 02.05.2009 to 30.07.2009.
TAURUS
(VRISHABHA):Kritika 2,3,4 padas; Rohini, Mrigasira 1st and 2nd padas:
The transit of Saturn in the 4th from moon sign goes under the name
'Ardhastama sani' which is one of the worst
transits like 7th, 8th and sade-sathi. There are no vedha points to stop evil
effects of Saturn during this transit. Except for the retrogression period the
life would become more difficult.
The results of such a transit are related to safeguarding the properties,
pleasures and to continue education despite all odds. If you already own
property, this transit shows the difficulties in clearing the loans. The health
of the people in the house - particularly of mother and any chronic patients -
would cause greatest concern and problems in day-to-day life. I have come
across some people who had problems with neighbors and the clashes were full
blown during ardhastama sani. You should guard against wasteful expenditure
that drains the accumulated wealth. Similarly, healthy food is required to
reduce fatigue and anemia, which are quite common with Saturn's transit. If you
are thinking of acquiring house properties or renovating, undertaking
large-scale repairs, business expansions, be within your financial limits. The
studies will become very much strenuous and with great difficulty you will be
able to complete the course. Better not to expect a colorful victory. There
would also be problems in settlement in life like marriage becoming uncertain.
If you are doing any PhD., it would be very horrible and difficult period in
your education. If you have a marriage discard, this would be time when the lid
will blow off. Any such domestic problems should be sorted out with clear
thinking and being non emotional. Even if you are hurt in the deal, it is
better to keep quite, and to wait for good time. Bitterest misunderstandings
with your beloved mother are possible. You will have to wait for the good
time and should not embark a retaliatory plan.
There could be separation from family members due to official reasons, like transfer. The may be some demise of old people in the family. Your prestige in your relatives goes down and mother-side relatives will humiliate you. You rather hate to make a trip to your native place but prefer to go far away from all these people! There could be heavy work and additional responsibilities in this office that adversely affects the domestic life. There will be good progress in clearing the loans but the availability is the greatest problem. Your close friends may not lend a helping hand in your financial crunch. Chronic patients of migraine head aches, neck pains, and dental problems and also digestion problems should take extreme caution during this transit as it tends to enhance the existing diseases. Shanti for Saturn with mantra japa is very much essential at the beginning of the transit. Recitation of any mantras of Saturn is also required very much throughout the transit. Saturn kavacha can also be recited once a day. It is better to worship Saturn yantra regularly. You should visit navagraha temple every Saturday and do pradakshina, reciting namaskara mantra (also known as sani stotra) at least 10 times. Fasting on Saturdays (at least during night) is desirable.
GEMINI
(MITHUNA):Mrigasira 3rd,4th;Arudhra, Punarvasu 1,2,3rd:
This
beneficial transit
will end your financial problems. This transit promises great changes and
gives you lot of courage. You will not experience the benefits of the transit
during the period when Saturn is obstructed (in astrological parlance, vedha)
any planet in the 12th from moon sign i.e., Taurus. It would be a status quo
time wherein nothing happens during the retrogression. Any new ventures for
expansion should not be taken up in the period of retrogression and during vedha
periods. The benefic results during the rest of the period are excellent. No
shanti, japa, pooja etc., are required at all. Make hay when the Sun (rather, I
should say, Saturn) shines!
There will be expansion of the existing activity like opening new branches,
purchase of accessories to the existing machines, acquisition of articles of
comforts and also vehicles. If you are in the farming activity, it is an
excellent transit which gives you lot of farm animals. You will regain courage
(that was lost since last seven and half years!) and experience success in all
spheres. Promotions, outstanding commendations and awards await you. Your
influence goes up and the opponents beat a hasty retreat. In a hurry to expand,
do not speculate but stick to ground realities. You should learn to control
your anxiety as this transit produces some minor clashes with close friends and
associates. There would also be some minor worries regarding children. These
problems turn up towards night fall to deprive you of precious sleep. This
tendency to worry during or towards night should be avoided. If you are
awaiting religious instructions from your guru or wish to take up some spiritual
practice, it is the right time. If you are doing any specialization like PhD,
you are assured of grand success.
No benefic results can be expected when Saturn yields to vedha by Mars from 30.07.2007 to 16.09.2007; by Mercury form 30.04.2008 to 06.06.2008; by Mercury from 25.04.2009 to 25.05.2009; by Mars from 04.07.2009 to 21.08.2009 and by Venus from 30.06.209 to 26.07.2009.
CANCER
(KATAKA):
Punarvasu 4th, Pushya and Aslesha :
The lord of this sign, Moon is the enemy of Saturn. As such, Cancer borns are
the worst effected from the transit of Saturn. Fortunately, during the period of
vedha due to occupation of 3rd from moon sign by any planet, there will not be
any trouble. During the retrogression of Saturn you would find temporary halt
from problems. This is be last phase of Saturn's cycle
of seven and half years.
The results of the 12th transit are: loss of wealth, ill health and confinement
in bed, disgrace and quarrels in the family, separation from dear ones. There
will be worries due to aged relatives. This transit causes the old values and
old life patterns pass away to open new chapters. The projects will be finished
in a hurry due to compelling reasons. You will be withdrawn from your
surroundings. There will be disciplinary actions initiated against you If you
are thinking of voluntary retirement or starting a new profession or business,
think twice - you are against odds. No timely advice will be available at the
time of need. Your religious teachers, faculty will not be of much help. There
will however be clearance of loans to good extent. At times, you will be forced
to sell off possessions or put them on lease to meet your loan commitments. It
is truly a heart breaking experience, which you would remember ever after!
Shanti with mantra japa for
Saturn should be done at the beginning of the transit itself. You should
recite Saturn related
slokas/mantras regularly. You should also visit navagraha temple and do
pradakshina reciting Saturn
namaskara mantra every Saturday. Fasting on Saturdays (at least during
night) is desirable. It is better to worship
sani yantra regularly.
LEO
(SIMHA):Mekha,Phalguni,Uttaraphalguni
1st:
This sign is owned by the bitter enemy of Saturn. Further, the transit is
across the natal position of Moon. There are no vedha points for this transit.
You are under the mid phase of Saturn's cycle of
seven and half years. Except for the period of retrogression of Saturn, there
would be constant sufferings. During retrogression, the sufferings halt,
temporarily.
You are prone to health disorders. There would be futile and tiresome journeys
to distant lands. You will become more economical than desirable ignoring your
personal needs. There will be separation from the family members. If involved
in litigation, better to seek anticipatory bail. There is also a possibility of
being arrested due to mistaken identity. Always carry your identification
papers along with you. Nevertheless, you are confined to bed (mostly due to
cold infections like pneumonia or a fracture in extremes) similar to house
arrest. You will become introvert and it is the best time to take stock of
situation. There will be humiliations by your own relatives and friends. The
prestige is at the lowest possible ebb. Some minor misunderstandings will crop
up with friends and co-workers. Heavy responsibilities in the office will run
you down. No new projects be taken up during this transit as Saturn has
delaying tendency. Shanti
with japa is very much essential at the earliest. Daily recitation of any
Saturn related mantras
like sani gayatri, sani stotra (also known as namaskara mantras), sani
asttottara etc., are also needed. You should visit navagraha temple and do
pradakshina reciting namaskara
mantra during the entire transit. If possible, it is advisable to under
take up fasting on Saturdays (at least at night). It is better to worship
sani yantra regularly.
VIRGO
(KANYA): Uttara Phalguni 2,3,4, HastaChitra 2nd the 3rd padas:
There are no vedha points for this transit. Except for the period of
retrogression of Saturn, there would be constant sufferings. This is beginning
of first phase of Saturn's cycle of seven and half
years. During retrogression, the sufferings halt, temporarily. You are prone to
health disorders. There would be futile and tiresome journeys to distant
lands. You will become more economical than desirable ignoring your personal
needs. There will be separation from the family members. If involved in

pradakshina reciting namaskara
mantra during the entire transit. If possible, it is advisable to under
take up fasting on Saturdays (at least at night). It is better to worship

You are spared from the problems during the period when Saturn yields to vedha by Jupiter till 22.11.2007; by Mercury from 28.11.2007 to 17.12.2007; by Venus from 26.12.2007 to 25.01.2008; by Venus from 14.10.2008 to 07.11.2008 and by Mars from 08.11.2008 to 19.12.2008.
LIBRA
(TULA): Chitra3,4th, Swathi, Visakha 1, 2,and 3rd padas :
For Libra, the transit of Saturn in the
11th is a beneficial
opening. For Libra borns, Saturn happens to be the 4th and 5th lord from moon
sign. There are no problems at all. Vedha is caused by any planet transiting in
the 5th from moon sign. No good results would be found during this time. When
Saturn retrogrades, the profits and success will be withheld but no adverse
results come.
You will have all good tidings, like marriage, gain of vehicles, promotion,
increase in fame. Any desires you have in mind will be fulfilled. There will be
help and support from all your men. You can expect a reward from the employer.
The old properties and holdings which you wanted to sell since long, would be
sold for a profit. Children will progress well. Many will have child birth or
settlement of children. It is a good time to invest in your children's name.
There would be minor health problems also related to stomach. A bit of caution
is needed. No shanti, japa, recitation etc., are required at all!
The beneficial results
described above will not happen during the following periods as there is check
to the adverse transit by Rahu and other planets till 05.05.2008; by Venus from
30.12.2008 to 22.01.2009; by Mars from 08.03.2009 to 15.04.2009; by Jupiter from
02.05.2009 to 30.07.2009.
SCORPIO
(VRISCHIKA): Vishakha 4th, Anuradha, Jesta:
The Scorpio borns have the adverse transit of Saturn in
the 10th house. As such, there will be mental worries and fear than
physical effects. There are no vedha points for this transit. However, during
the retrogression period there would be some relief as the problems temporarily
halt. Mainly this transit affects the 'means of livelihood' - job, profession
and business. There would be humiliations, lot of work. The projects would not
take off due to some last minute hiccups. Added to this, there is so much
uncertainty about your projects. If you already have misunderstandings with your
boss, take care that these things will not blow out of proportion. You are
heading for a fear of loosing the job. - no matter whether the reasons are like
lock out, redundancy, dismissal etc, there may not be any mistake on your part.
Other results are: Loss of savings, indulging in sinful deeds against the
employer, loss of honor. Some are forced to quit the existing job to take up a
new job, due to compelling reasons like bitter fall out with the employer or
false accusations of criminal nature! But, as Saturn is the good planet for you,
the end result will be beneficial for you, though, it may produce temporary
worries. However, there will be purchase of domestic items and properties. Yet,
you will be easily irritated by your wife. Studies will not be up to the mark.
Shanti with japa is very
much essential at the earliest. Daily recitation of any
Saturn related mantras
like sani gayatri, sani stotra (also known as namaskara mantras), sani
asttottara etc., are also needed. You should visit navagraha temple and do
pradakshina reciting namaskara
mantra during the entire transit. If possible, it is advisable to under
take up fasting on Saturdays (at least at night). It is better to worship
sani yantra regularly.
SAGITTARIUS
(DHANUS):Moola, Poorvasadha Uttarashadha 1st:
Saturn is transiting in the adverse 9th house. This transit gives relief from
the magnitude of the sufferings you underwent during astama sani, yet the
elements still remain there. You will be loosing faith in God and socially
recognized values. You will turn out to be an anti-religious person, due to the
sufferings you underwent in Cancer transit of Saturn. There are vedha due to
planets in the 6th from moon sign, there will not be any evil effect. Saturn
when in retrogression halts the problems temporarily. Shanti for Saturn is
optional and not required at the onset of transit. The people having 9th transit
are not inclined to follow any remedial measures at all, I have observed. You
should recite Saturn related
mantras regularly. Visiting navagraha temple on Saturdays and fasting on
Saturdays at least during night will beneficial The results of 9th transit are:
inclination to sinful acts, prosecution, legal difficulties, ill health to
father, and no advice available at the time of need, anti-religious feelings and
also not being able to observe your daily religious duties like pooja or
sandhyavandana etc., long journeys, loans and diseases related to head. Ratio of
profit is so-so only. Despite these difficulties, you will not loose courage (as
it happened during previous transit); there is good co-operation from friends
and relatives. You like to travel and visit many distant places.
The adverse results mentioned above do not bother you when Saturn yields to vedha by Mars from 30.07.2007 to 16.09.2007; by Mercury form 30.04.2008 to 06.06.2008; by Mercury from 25.04.2009 to 25.05.2009; by Mars from 04.07.2009 to 21.08.2009 and by Venus from 30.06.209 to 26.07.2009.
CAPRICORN
(MAKARA): Uttarashada 2,3,4 Sravana, Dhanista 1st & 2nd:
For Capricorn it is the 8th house transit and unfortunately, there are no vedha
points. It does not matter! Saturn is the moon sign lord for these people and
the supposed worst period of astama sani turns out to be just a bit bad! The
effects attributed to astama sani are: loss of wealth, ill health, disgrace,
accidents, problems related to wife, miserable life, gambling and indulgence in
other vices. Separation from wife and children, travel on foot in a pitiable
condition. Financial problems and the non availability of resources when you
desperately want. Do not count on others' help. Chronic health problems will
also be there. All your actions are criticized and it is better to keep low
profile. Should not start new ventures, should not open up branches and such
expansion plans should be kept aside. Troubles through relatives are also
expected. You should be prepared for humiliation and displeasure of the higher
officers and government. You may wonder what is the point, if Saturn causes
those results. Yes, but for you he has offered a discount of 50% and even
above. He is better than me — I do not offer any discounts! He causes only
'name sake' problems. In case you feel the burden too heavy, then you may
recite the namaskara mantra
for Saturn and / or visit Shiva temple frequently. No other remedial measures
are required at all.
AQUARIUS
(KUMBHA): Dhanista 3rd,4th, Shatabhisha,Purvabhadra1,2,3:
For Aquarius borns it is the 7th house transit. Since Saturn is himself the lord
of the sign too, there is no need to do any shanti or such remedial measures.
Since it is the adverse transit, you will experience trouble some journeys, ill
health to wife and children. Saturn being the greatest teacher, you will learn
new lessons in life and by the end of the transit you will be more knowledgeable
person. These means the sufferings will be only on mental level and there will
not be any physical effects. During the retrogression period, there will not
be these problems also. In case you feel the burden too heavy, then you may
recite the namaskara mantra
for Saturn and or visit Shiva temple frequently. No other remedial measures
are required at all.
PISCES
(MEENA): Purvabhadra 4th, Uttarabhadra, Revathi :
The benefic
transit in the 6th is quite good. During the retrogression of
Saturn as well as when he yields to vedha by planets in the 9th, you will not
experience any good results at all. The results attributed to 6th transit of
Saturn are: victory over enemies, good health married happiness, gin of wealth
and all round prosperity. You will enjoy the company of good people you like.
There will be success in service and enterprises, recognition of work, heavy
responsibility and of course there will be a time when you are confined to bed.
Nothing serious but it gives you much needed rest!
You will not realize favorable results shown above when Saturn yields to vedha by Jupiter till 22.11.2007; by Mercury from 28.11.2007 to 17.12.2007; by Venus from 26.12.2007 to 25.01.2008; by Venus from 14.10.2008 to 07.11.2008 and by Mars from 08.11.2008 to 19.12.2008.
The results described above may vary. Transit of planets across natal moon can not be viewed independently. The actual effects can be determined based on the dasa-bhukti (time scale) in the natal chart. Individual analysis of the birth chart is highly recommended to arrive at the actual effects.
