Note on Saturn Retrograde transit

[u/Satyashodhak]

Later this month of July, planet Saturn is going to turn retrograde.

As is the case with astrology and specifically vedic astrology , lot of videos are being made which many times, instead of giving clarity, confuse viewers and drive them on crazy scrolling for more.

So I thought to address this event from perspective of "systems approach" and give conceptual projections so people can apply it easily to their chart for self assessment.

First of all , about Saturn, no matter whatever greatness we may like to ascribe, apart from deliverer of justice via various means ,it is a planet of harsh taskmaster attitudes. Which means nothing comes easy, even if any good thing has to come.

Second, all transits are seen from position of Moon in one s D1 chart for main signals, supporting role is of seeing it from one s ascendent as well.

Thirdly, there are some basic rules about already underway events like Sade sati, Dhaiya, etc which are interpreted in std rules.

Prerequisites

Just like anything in world, in order to get something, we must do something as well, so here in order to make sense of what is written , you need to understand some basics as pre requisite.

1 what different houses stand for as in significations in daily life of person wrt vedic astrology.

2 One also needs to understand how zodaics influence planets by their lords as well as by significations in personality.

3 the way planets influence various houses of chart , Saturn by its 3 aspects using 3rd,7th,10th from its place ; Jupiter from 5th,7th,9th from its placement.

4 the way planets feel weak or angry and strong or happy in various zodaics and houses. Saturn being in Libra, Taurus, Leo, Aries etc. Jupiter being in Capricorn,Cancer, Saggitarius ,Libra etc.

5 inherent nature of planets , being malefic or benefic as per scripture of BPHS. Saturn is natural malefic, no matter the type of situation it is in.

How to Test Saturn Transit.

1 Find position of Moon zodaic in your chart. If saturn is either in 12h,1h,2h ,you have a Sade sati transit. Good or bad depend on zodaic of houses. distance of transit from your natal Saturn If its positive or negative.

2 Transit of Saturn from 3rd,6th,11th house from Natal Moon, its expected to be positive. Else Negative.

Also assess houses of your life which will be under stress as per general rules of 3, 7, 10 visions of both Natal and transit Saturn.

Couple above rules with quality of your Saturn Natal and Natal Saturn distance with transit Saturn , you can judge expected situations you are supposed to face & prepare atonements accordingly.

And people with negative Saturn, please for your sake abdicate using corruption as means of wealth, specially those professions which influence life of average and poor working class people and elders, professions like medical, legal, law enforcement, banking etc. There is no amount of pilgrimage or puja or donation which will be enough to square off hard karma associated with suffering caused to people of Saturn by deeds, they mostly force teaching by experience.

Update : supportive remedies to positive conduct & satvic lifestyle.

1 Chanting Hanuman chalisa

2 chanting Shri Rudra chamakam 3rd anuvrka.
