How shani  in kumbha, affects me?
An astrologer is assumed to be a dreamy detached man, oblivious to science and technology. To hatch an everlasting impression on the minds of the client, astrologer has to show of his knowledge about Shyaturn (etymology - Saturn in Kannada and Telugu) - his body weight, distance from earth, glow and surface temperature etc., Astrology is concerned about the position of he planet, the longitude. You have come to this page to know astrological significations otherwise you would be on NASA site. Rural astrologers use English words sprinkled here and there - Shyaturn and Markury. The urban astrologers quote from classical texts (खारको भाव नाशाया) to announce their rural roots (to a remote village near Himalaya). One reputed astrologer had told her client, she had swallowed a small silver Ganesh in her teens (when she was in math) that made her an astrologer in later life! That was a prop but she was truly a great astrologer; her sophisticated reasoning and speed were remarkable. This will make any astrologer शानदार (amazing). How to convince the client about the depths of astrological wisdom? Blame the problem on shani - he is looking at you cruelly and kicking on your behind when retrograde. ಅನಿಷ್ಠಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಶನಿಯೇ ಮೂಲ (Shani is root cause of all the problems). If you can do this, you have already learnt astrology. Shani Bhagwan God of Judgment. He punishes those who commit bad deeds and blesses those who commit good deeds, however, his judgment is justified. The words Sade Sati, astama shani, ardastama shani and saptama shani cause shivers. He would humble you and when all your faults evaporate, you will realize your worth!
Shani transits in his own sign kumbha from 30-Apr-2022 to 12-Jul-2022 and from 18-Jan-2023 to 29-Mar-2025.  While in kumbha rasi, he is retrograde from 06.06.2022 to 12.07.2022; from 18.06.2023 to 04.11.2023 and from 01.07.2024 to 15.11.2024. Also when ravi moves near shani within his orb, shani is astangata (combust) in kumbha rasi 01.02.2023 to 05.03.2023 and from 13.02.2024 to 17.03.2024 and from 24.02.2025 to 29.03.2025.

One has to be careful while drawing separate and independent conclusions based on the status of a planet. The effects can not be isolated, the results for the signs get altered due to transit of other planets. However, results specific to transit of shani as per Hindu astrology is given here. Shani is benefic while he transits in only three houses - 3rd, 6th and 11th from rasi. Out of twelve, nine persons have one or the other problem. T.P. Kilasam, illustrious kannada dramatist [ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೋಬನೇ ಕೈಲಾಸಂ] once said, "It is true all the world is a stage but (unlike a theatre) there are so side-wings to rest". With good Shani or a bad Shani, we have to surge forward - whether you take the bull by its horns or better still fondle the bull and sit on it effortlessly without wounds! Astrology is not ordained. If it is I who acquired a bad 'fate' due to previous karma, it should be I to correct them. My prarabda karma should never ever prevent me from taking good deeds to acquire a good 'fate'.

Due to retrograde motion, shani retraces to makara, again his own sign, from 13-Jul-2022 to 17-Jan-2023. In makara rasi, he is retrograde from 13.07.2022 to 23.10.2022. And finally shani enters meena rasi on 30-Mar-2025. The repercussions of combustion and retrogression will be dealt with discretely in monthly predictions (link here). Retrogression starts when Shani is away by 251° from ravi and the direct motion is resumed when Shani comes close to ravi, 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, the planets in retrogression give '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.
It would be heretical and inexcusable if I say shani was not a vedic God. Nowhere in all the four vedas we can come across shani or rather any planets! The avahana mantras for shani  (or any planet) are actually the hymns having the word (shabda) of the planet and such mantras appear in Nagagraha Sukta of Rigveda. However, descriptions of Yama and Rudra are more identical to shani. Shani is associated with Yama as he is the significator of lifespan. Like Shiva he is slow, unconcerned and detached. Shani is the son of Ravi like yin and yang they support and oppose each other. Shani is cold, defensive and secretive planet; under the influence of shani a person shrinks to isolation, love and joy evaporates. When shani is ill disposed in transit (or that matter badly placed in natal chart) misfortune, delays, chronic health problems and litigations strike. If shani is good, he will redeem you from such problems - he would give stability, realization of your capabilities and maturity. Under the influence of evil shani one is dirty, withered stupid, cruel and melancholic. Even when shani is benefic in transit/natal chart, there will be some minor problems and that depends on natural tendency of shani as well as his role in the birth chart. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If it brakes from within life beings! And it depends on shani!
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). Outer most planets i.e. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are not considered in Hindu astrology. Brihat Jataka declares, "मुख्य सप्तः" (important 7 planets). In this article the transit of rahu and ketu are not explored as the results are similar to the transit of Shani and Mars. Further, they being shadow planets, do not exactly give their 'own' results - but reflect the results of the planets aspecting /conjoining them.

Shani also known as Manda means slow. It also means to be full of forgiveness, tolerance and peace as in “shankara”, “shanno danti prachodayat”. Shani indicates the solitaire life and  spirituality. He signifies cold diseases, hard work, public office, political success and protracted diseases. Shani is a karaka of anything slow  - be it a disease, a long stay in the office. A well posited shani gives excellent longevity. Similarly, Shani would cause delay in the aspects of life he is associated. Shani indicates stability and if you want to change your job during shani bhukti or during adverse transit of shani, it is futile. May be the couple quarrels a lot but the marriage survives and peace returns due to shani bhukti - he is a cold planet and so takes the heat off the situation. Ravi is no longer king in present day world.

You will find kings in royal regalia in Melody Band Party! The majority, decided through democracy is the king. If you have have great ravi, you may end up as the Chief Secretary of a minister but if you have a strong shani, you will become Chief Minister! Shani is in-charge for bones and quality of blood. Adverse shani would cause fractures, dental problems and anemia.
In the foundation chart, shani transits in the worst 8th. This transit called astama shani causes havoc in all matters of governance.   All the problems - you name them - will break loose and the very foundation of the nation shakes. At times, it seem the policies of the ruling party are no more appealing to the masses.  Like the congress, BJP also suffers identity crises.  Even BJP insiders and old timers are confused on how to take the country ahead.

At times, the very ideology of the party becomes a burden. This is the time  they should retrospect and make amendments.  The clue lies in the welfare working classes and the poor.  Nationalism, patriotism, culture and religious practices come in second place.  Nevertheless, they are still values that can transcribe to votes! The image and dignity of the country is at stake and it attracts adverse observations from the world bodies.
There will be severe financial strains and the government will not be able to tackle inflation properly during this transit. There will also be some infighting among the partners and within the party. The people at the higher levels known for shrewd actions, are unable to do anything.  It should be noted that shani is in own sign.  That means, if the rulers understand the situation properly, they can make use of the transit to secure a stable vote base in working class and the poor. This is the time BJP needs to reinvest by providing employment opportunities to masses. There is religious renaissance due to transit of guru in the 9th. 

But this happens through legal procedures and legislature. In the birth chart of the country, shani is functional benefic being lord of 10th and 11th houses and is placed in the 4th house, aspecting 10th (own sign and house aspect). That means the transit in 8th is challenging but not completely bad. There will also be wealth making long term plans and the stability of the government is not questioned. Guru transiting the benefic 9th in own sign gives prudence to the leaders in key position to tackle the problems.
Smt. Sonia Gandhi [former president and interim president sine die], is relived of problems caused by astama shani.  One or more senior leaders may pass away or desert the party. But, this transit is good for Gandhi as it helps to build a bright future slowly and steadily. This transit is life giving to Congress party. With this, Congress party springs back to life. 

Shri Rahul Gandhi has good transit in the 3rd. He is no more a funny pappu in politics!  He will emerge as a strong, mature and seasoned leader.  For the Prime Minister, shani transits in ardastama which causes rifts within the party.  He finds managing the country difficult.  He may even think if handing over the baton to somebody else.
The impact of shani's transit in kumbha rasi on various rasis is given below. It is reassuring that shani's transit in his own sign diminishes the distress associated with the transit, for all the rasis. That means the transit in 8th which could have been the worst transit is merely a transit of discomfort, this time around!  Remedial measures to shani will mainly reduce the delays, cure from cold and bone disorders and also reduce the  adverse effects shani caused by his position, ownership and association in the chart. This opens the an avenue for remedial measures to mitigate the adverse affects. Some mantras related to shani are given below:-

शनि नमस्कार श्लोकः >> नीलांजन समाभासं रविपुत्रं यमाग्रजं। छायामार्तांड संभूतं तं नमामि शनैश्चरं॥
शनि पीडाहर स्तॊत्रं: >> सूर्यपुत्रो धीर्घदेहो विशालाक्ष शिवप्रियः। धीर्घाचारः प्रसन्नात्म पीडां हरतु मे शनिः॥
शनि गायत्री मंत्रः >> ओं शनैश्चराय विद्महे छायापुत्राय धीमही। तन्नो मंदः प्रचोदयात्॥
शनि बीज मंत्रः >> ओं प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः॥ 

Other mantras for shani like Kavacha, Mantra, Avanana mantra, Attottara Shatanamali and Asttottara Shatanama stotra are also available in the site. More Some astrologers notably in Deccan prescribe gem stones/metals like blue sapphire, amethyst, iron, lead, steel and antimony as remedial measure for adverse transit. This is not as per the precepts of Hindu astrology - gem stones and metals are prescribed for benefic planets (anukoola grahas) only. I have observed that a person under adverse guru bhukti suffered most when he started wearing yellow sapphire. Lead a simple life and let your head rule over your heart. अनायासेन मरणं विनादैन्येन जीवनं। देहि मे कृपया शंभो त्वयि भक्तिं अचंचलं॥  "Lord Shambhu, give a serene death, a life not needing mercy of others and unwavering devotion in you".
How does shani effect you?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mesha:

Shani in benefic 11th from your sign in own sign heralds a successful story. You have been waiting for this success for a long time. Since last two and half years, you had shani in the 10th house. This had caused severe professional problems. Some must have been prosecuted or even lost job. According to classics, any planet in the 10th gives employment in the field represented by the planet. Surely, you did not become a blacksmith when Shani was in the 10th, perhaps you made few coins by selling that junk car. I have observed professional problems when Shani is in the 10th.

You will be known as a successful man in society. Your name and fame spreads far and wide. Though who despised you, who looked down upon you, will come to know your personality. You are happy, contended and careless towards your adversaries.  Such a strong personality confuses them!  Broken relationship in family circles are restored but not at your cost.  You are very courageous and venturesome.  You can not be put down, discouraged or cast aside. If you were separated from your main family for professional reasons, you will be united with your family members. Disposal of old properties works out to greater profits. There is no wastage and  with this proceeds you will acquire new properties.  You will purchase vehicles, ornaments and any luxurious things you desire.

Students are very successful in their studies with lot of concentration, will power and dedication. Any litigations are resolved in your favour. Married life is excellent. Many people get married during this transit. It is the time to approach higher authorities or government agencies for any favours. There will be laziness to the maximum extant, much needed so that you can recoil from previous bitter experiences. 
Vrishabha:

Shani transits in  adverse 10th from your sign. Actually, anybody with this transit will loose the job that is to say, means of livelihood under humiliating circumstances. Yes, there is always fear of loosing the job but you may be able to hang on to the job despite professional problems. The profession becomes more demanding. You are regarded as most important person in the office and all the unrewarding, monotonous and complicated tasks are passed on to you.

Whether you will loose the job and get one after some time or will not get any at all, depends on the strength of shani and the role he plays in natal chart. You are always busy as the work is forced on you! You should not take the risk of quitting the job unless and until you have another job order ready in your hands. Some people may jump into business, heads down based on some obscure logic and a fast friend!

One fellow sold off his big hotel near bus station, in the hope of getting a job in an international hotel in Perth. The recruitment process took a long time and the project did not take off, those were the days apartheid in Australia. Now he works as a manager in his own (previous) hotel. Do not have ego centric higher appreciation of your capabilities. You are happy to be abroad or away from your close relatives. There is a desire to hide from others. Marital life and relationship with partners is not up to the mark.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are there but less as shani transits in his own sign. You should recite Shani kavacha/ mantra/ shatanaama stotra (whichever you find easy) during this transit. You should do Shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivarathri days.  Have patience, good days will come - after two and half years. Shanti for shani is required only if shani is badly placed in your birth chart.
Mithuna:

Shani transits in 9th from your rasi. During last two and half years, shani was in the 8th position (called astama shani) which proved havoc in many areas of life. Heavy expenditure, foreign stay, being deserted by own people, worries and restlessness and losses in business transactions were seen during the previous transit. You were subjected to several confrontation and were saved by skin. This experience has made you more evolved human being.
When shani transits into kumbha his own sign, you are fully relieved from such problems. However, this causes minor ill health to elders in the family. Students in higher studies will come out successful but they have to put hard work. You have lot of concentration that helps in education.  You will become more religious though  you are highly critical of rituals. Shani guarantees good luck, if you undertake hard work! Misunderstandings with brothers, sisters and friends will bother you. You have considerable amount of courage to sort out any such issue. You will purchase some old properties as investments or will accumulate money to purchase these. You may suffer anemia as well as minor circulation problems. Proper food and exercises are essential.
Loans are readily available for development purposes like procurement of properties and expansion of business. You will be able to secure long term loans easily. Expansion of business interests and wealth are sure to happen but in slow phase.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are there but less as shani is in his own sign. Not many remedial measures are required. You should do Shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivarathri days.
Kataka:

Shani transits in 8th from your sign, which is called astama shani transit. This dreaded transit will cause collapse of whole life, whatever the meaning be! The problems just crop up in a totally unexpected way. If you expect money problem, you cringe due to honey problem!  Three will be problems during this transit in all walks of life. Profession suffers set backs. You will be humiliated and side tracked. Some people who have a bad shani in natal chart may be suspended or dismissed.
There will be severe financial strains. The misunderstandings with family members run high. There will not be any peace of mind during this transit. Artists suffer lethargy and mental dullness. Speculations should be strictly avoided. You are prone to cuts, wounds, accidents and severe health problems and consequent hospitalization for brief period. Caution is required while driving and in sports field. Worries related to children and misunderstandings with them are seen during this transit. When shani is retrograde, the above results are temporary halted but they never go off. You will be just licking the wounds. However, it gives you ample time to retrospect and plan your next moves.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are less as shani is in his own sign. You MUST conduct shanti for shani in a temple or in your house if shani is badly placed in your birth chart.  When done in a temple you can share the expenditure with others. It is the process of reciting shani beeja / gayatri or namaskara mantras 19000+ times. You should also recite shani gayatri mantra [ओं शनैश्चराय विद्महे छायापुत्राय धीमही। तन्नो मंदः प्रचोदयात्॥ or beeja mantra [ओं प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः॥  (any one of them depending on time available and your inclination) minimum 21 times a day.

You should do shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivaratri days. Whether mantras, pooja shani etc., are mere spurious acts by Zionists (Manuvadis) cab be delivered after three years.  Think just in case these will help you out! Extreme caution is required in professional matters. Do not put your papers, even if you are humiliated or ignored for promotion. Have patience, good days will come - after two and half years.
 
 
 
 
Simha:

Shani is the bitter enemy of your rasi lord, ravi. As such, simha rasi persons are most effected by adverse shani transit in 7th from your rasi which is called saptama shani. This transit causes  strains in marital life. If you have any differences, it is better to reconcile as the misunderstandings tend to linger for considerable amount of time. Business partnerships may break down or misgivings with the partner shows up. Long distance transfer and consequent separation from your spouse and children are possible. Some people may get married during this transit but they will have some problems and delays in setting up the family. Students have hard period, they have to put more efforts.

Students in higher studies do well, though with considerable difficulty. There will be concerns about health of mother and close relatives. Property matters do not go well, consider before you embark on any property plans. Untimely meals and boredom are quite common. You are prone to cuts, wounds and accidents. There will be some rifts with parents or elders in the family. Lethargic and fatalistic attitude predominate. When shani is retrograde you are given some relief and when shani is combust, a friend or relative will play spoilsport and keep you in a fix.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are there but are within manageable limits as shani is in his own sign. If possible, shanti for shani may be conducted in a temple or in your house.  It is the process of reciting shani beeja / gayatri or namaskara mantras 19000+ times. You should also recite shani gayatri mantra [ओं शनैश्चराय विद्महे छायापुत्राय धीमही। तन्नो मंदः प्रचोदयात्॥ or beeja mantra [ओं प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः॥ minimum 21 times a day. You should do shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivaratri days. Whether you believe in God or whether you believe in the remedial measures is the consideration now. You just take the remedial measures seriously, think just in case these will help you out! Caution is required in professional matters. Do not put your papers, even if you are humiliated,  ignored or insulted.
Kanya:

Shani transits in favourable 6th from your sign. You will be known as a hard worker who wouldn't give up. This is a good time for people in politics as well as in service under government. Be ready to take hard work, with extra efforts and hours. The assignments are not much of brain work but are strenuous. You may have some minor misunderstandings with friends and relatives. You have lot of courage and patience. You are able to clear long outstanding dues and consolidate your financial position. You can take easy loans with lower borrowing rates to clear the high end loans. You will get some promotions and happy for the recognition you get in the office.  This is the kind of promotion one gets due to certain years of service, an assured promotion in nature. But you waited for this since long. Students perform well in competitive examinations.  You will receive substantial amounts through inheritance or arbitration.

During this transit, the favors described here are doubled compared to ordinary transit of shani in 6th! Get your hayforks ready when shani shines bright on you! Old health problems will disappear. No classical author has lost opportunity to praise this transit, with due respect to them, I beg to deviate from their view. This transit may cause health problems and also fractures. At the same time, new diseases of minor kind related to head, teeth, bones and middle stomach surface. These are due to aging process or bad food habits and can be corrected. If health problems are unattended, they will prolong for next two and half years!

Due to physical fatigue and minor health problems, you will not be able to sleep or relax sufficiently. The relationship with your brothers, sisters and friends are slightly strained. You should stay clear of unnecessary disputes. If you are having adverse dasha or bhukti of 7th or 8th lord, you are prone to accidents resulting in fracture. This transit causes dental problems too. You will have to deal with your competitors and opponents. You have lot of success that come only after struggles and the rewards are good. There is no change of job or nature of work.  But, there may be transfer to a branch office without your willingness. Those people who are abroad continue their stay, no matter how much they wish to go back. You have lot of success in various fields. You are able to make investments using loans that are easily available. When shani is retrograde you will not derive any benefits. When shani is combust, there will be heavy expenditure beyond your control.
Tula:

Shani transits in 5th from your sign. Transit of shani in 5th from moon sign is not a good position, though it can not be termed as absolutely bad. You wish to be alone and do not welcome guests and relatives. There is always a desire to be aloof fro crowds. Your faith in God and flair for fine arts will increase. Your nerves become weak and for small things you will suffer anxiety. At times, you have dental problems and mouth ulcers.
There is some unhappiness from children. Heavy expenditure, losses, worries due to children and misunderstandings with them are possible. All these, though seem adverse for the time being, will shape more advantageous things in future. You have misunderstandings with your spouse. You do not find much love or time for spouse.  Marriage happens but after some delay. You will be able to acquire immovable properties. You are subjected to arrogant higher officers and this strain adversely reflects your relationship with family members. There will be some element of financial strains also. When Shani is combust you land in problems due to over sized self confidence.

Fortunately, the hardships described above do not stir you much, shani is in his own sign. You should recite shani kavacha/ mantra/ shatanaama stotra (whichever you find easy) once a day during this transit.
Vrischika:

Shani transits in 4th from your sign, which is called ardastama shani. It is difficult to get your talents and achievements recognized in a gathering. You seem to an almost invisible man without any adjectives. You should accept this deficiency and patiently bid for your good time. Heavy work in the office but you stand to gain in a long run. You have strong liking for solitude. Long walks in silence are more appealing. There could be separation from family members due to transfer. Any attempt to purchase properties land up in delay and you are successful at the end. Your mother's health causes worries. Minor misunderstandings with mother and her relatives. Some may have to leave their native places (or the place of longest residence) under humiliating circumstances.
Your prestige in your relatives goes down and mother-side relatives will humiliate you but his leads to strong and firm relationship with some. Students have minor set backs in their studies. Hard work will pay off well. When shani is combust you are subjected to heavy expenditure, long distance transfer and losses in property transactions. There will be some minor problems in the office and also problems regarding loans. You are slothful and somber but it is not bad you are establishing a steady life. Caution is required in professional matters. Do not put your papers, even if you are humiliated or ignored for promotion. Have patience, good days will come - after two and half years.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are less as shani is in his own sign. It is better to conduct shanti for shani in a temple or in your house. It is the process of reciting shani beeja / gayatri or namaskara mantras 19000I+ times. You should recite shani gayatri mantra [ओं शनैश्चराय विद्महे छायापुत्राय धीमही। तन्नो मंदः प्रचोदयात्॥ or beeja mantra [ओं प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः॥ minimum 21 times a day. You should do shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivaratri days. Whether you believe in God or whether you believe in the remedial measures is the consideration now.

Dhanus:

Shani transits in 3rd from your sign. The domestic and financial strains you had since last seven and half years ends now.  With this transit, you will gain abundant encouragement and good support from others. There is underlying spring of courage within you.  Your relationship with your brothers, sisters and friends starts growing considerably. You will make new dependable and competent friends.

This is the time to take subscription in elite clubs.  Sports persons set new records and are able to settle in life. There are changes in residence or the work place. There are frequent journeys at short notices. Students have good time. If you are doing any specialization like PhD, you are assured of grand success. Exceptional achievements are seen as shani transits in his own sign.

There is improvement in business - 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, tools and machines. Promotions, outstanding commendations and awards await you. Make hay when sun (I should say, shani) shines! Your influence goes up and the opponents beat a hasty retreat. If you are trying to go abroad for further studies and employment, you are sure to achieve these goals. When shani is retrograde, the benefic effects are withheld for the time being. Combust shani causes minor rifts with brothers, sisters and friends.
Makara:

Shani transits in 2nd from your sign. This is the last phase of seven and half years' adverse transit. During the last two and half years, the problems were intensively focused about marital life, prestige and health. Now the scene will change to rifts in family circles.

You will become rude with bad speech. Due to heavy investments in properties, you are facing shortage of finance to meet monthly needs. At times you will have to withdraw from your savings to meet commitments. There will be realization of written off amounts and arrears of your dues etc., to tide over the situation.  There is stability in financial matters. You are prone to minor cuts and wounds. You can expect a favorable placement or transfer. Combustion causes work related tensions and displeasure of higher officers.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are less as shani transits through his own sign. It is better to recite shani kavacha/ mantra/ shatanaama stotra (whichever you find easy).
 
 
Kumbha:

Shani transits over your rasi in own sign and it is the second phase of adverse seven and half years' transit. Charisma, influence in society are reduced but you will become  popular among masses. You are introvert and steadfast in your efforts but at times you tend to be lazy, lethargic and fatalist. This is the period of stability in life, you will regain your lost health and status. You have good amount of courage, commitment and resources. There would be successful but tiresome journeys.
You are prone to minor health problems related to bones. Relationship with your spouse is slightly strained. No new projects can be taken up during this transit as shani has delaying tendency. The adverse effects will not deter you, you are full of courage.  Note that shani transits in his own sign. Your friends, brothers/ sisters are always there to help you. Professional problems are seen during this transit. When shani is combust you tend to be more religious and also arrogant with family members.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are limited as shani is in his own sign. You should also recite shani kavacha/ mantra/ shatanaama stotra (whichever you find easy).
 
Meena:

For meena rasi, shani transits in 12th but in own sign which is the first phase of seven and half years' adverse transit. Expenditure and disappointments are caused during this transit. You will develop some resigned attitude towards life. There is a desire to invest, purchase properties like old house, vintage car  but funds are limited. Students are not able to concentrate and loose interest half way. But with some efforts they will be able to score good marks.
Any health problem or weakness in the chart, that already exists in the chart, will surface. Long distance transfers are seen. This transit stabilizes the financial front. You are prone to health problems that affect upper chest and lower back.  When Shani is combust, you have the hell falling on you. Shani in 12th causes heavy expenditure, increased blood pressure, eye or head related problems, imposition of fines and terrible wrath of higher officers.

Fortunately, the hardships described above are far less as shani is in his own sign. You should do shiva pooja on Saturdays and Maasa shivaratri days. Caution is required in professional matters. Do not put your papers, even if you are humiliated or ignored for promotion. Have patience, good days will come - after two and half years.
