No factory, no company, no institute is without Saturn. Saturn always remains in foundation.

The Finance and Economy of world is Saturn's portfolio. Saturn is the WORKING POWER, the STRENGTH so the planet who joins Saturn takes the benefit of Saturn.

When it rules the fourth house or is a yogakaraka it gives landed property or business connected with the same. Saturn is an adhomukha planet.

Saturn denotes leather and hides. For example, when it rules the 3rd or 8th house, and is a significator of profession, one may earn through leather goods and shoes.

If Saturn and the Sun are connected to the 10th House (By Positioning in the 10th or associations with the 10th House Lord), then the native can acquire tenders connected to road making, stone supplies etc. A Strong Saturn can also make one a Judge or a highly placed judicial authority. Various law-enforcement officers, are most

likely to have a strong influence of Saturn in their birth charts. A Strong Saturn can also mean business related to iron machinery. If Saturn is connected to the Lagna Lord and the 7th lord, then it can make the native a big dealer or manufacturer for iron and stones.

If the Moon and Mercury are aspecting Saturn, then it may give some activity connected to petrol pumps or activities related to crude oil, petroluem business and oil related and refining related professions.

What is Saturn?

Saturn is a cold and dark planet which is farthest from the Sun (among the 9 planets in Indian astrology).

According to the Indian mythology, Saturn is known as Karmfal Data, the one who gives you fruits/results of your karmas. Saturn can see your past and present, and defines your future/destiny based on your past actions.

To please Saturn one should simply do good karmas, be responsible and hardworking.

Saturn is the Karka of your 10th house: 10th house in your horoscope represents your career and what you are meant to do in your life.

This was the short intro about Saturn and now moving back to the question.

How Saturn effects your career?

Let’s say, you are going through your Saturn Mahadasha and you have not yet chosen your field of study or career you wish to pursue.

Saturn is also the lord of your 10th house and hence holds the utmost importance for you in your career.

Most astrologers will suggest you to opt for a field of study or career represented by Saturn.

Saturn is the significator of:

Land and property
Mining
Coal
Lead
Steel and iron industry
Jail
Isolated places
Crematorium.

Saturn is the farthest and coldest planet in the solar system. Saturn represents the poor people and low type of jobs.

Servant
Cleaner
Maid
Sewer cleaner
People who work in the crematorium
Executioner in jail
Ragpicker
Garbage Guy

These are the places of work and careers that are associated with Saturn. Occult and mysticism is also a thing associated with Saturn.

If you feel you have a strong Saturn and you should do something related to what represents then you have the list above.

But what if I tell you that even if you have a strong Saturn, you can get benefit from the Saturn without even getting into the fields represented by Saturn?

If you have a strong and positive Saturn, it is a boon for you. Saturn is that one planet who can make you suffer a lot and when you have a positive Saturn, you can expect fewer problems in your life.

If you have a strong Saturn then it can make you successful in any of these fields:

Business
Real Estate
Politics
Leadership Role
Public Speaking
Body Building
Teaching
Consulting

You must be thinking that most of these things are represented by Sun, Jupiter, Mercury, and other planets. How come Saturn can make you successful in these fields?

Saturn can make you very good in any field. Saturn means experience and Saturn represents learning through experience, introspection, and practice.

Saturn represents isolation and separation but a well placed Saturn will show you all the bright side of this world while keeping you attached to your roots. This is the beauty of Saturn.

Saturn is Unlike planets Venus and Rahu who will make you attached to the worldly pleasures.

How to find out which way to go and how Saturn is influencing your career?

First, you need to see if Saturn is positive in your horoscope. If Saturn is not positive in your horoscope then you should see what the other planets are indicating because Saturn will not contribute in your success but will only teach you harsh lessons in life.

A planet is negative when it signifies the 6th, 8th and 12th house. If you are a Leo Ascendant and have a Pisces Saturn. Saturn owns the 6th house and occupies the 8th house.

A planet is positive for the career when it signifies the 10th and 11th house. Aries ascendant Saturn owns 10th and 11th house makes it a good planet for the native.

If you have a strong well placed Saturn then you should interpret and see the direction Saturn is pointing to.

To figure that out you need to see:

1- Houses signified by the Saturn in your horoscope
2- Houses signified by the nakshatra lord of Saturn in your horoscope

Example 1: Aries Ascendant, Saturn is in the 10th house occupying the constellation of Mars (Dhanishta nakshatra) and suppose Mars is in own sign too.

Saturn signifies here 10th and 11th. Mars signifies 1 and 8.

Houses signified: 1, 8, 10 and 11

This Saturn indicates success in politics, gain in a leadership role, the sudden rise in career, gain through insurance.

Reason: 10th and 11th houses bring success in career. 1st house is for leadership and politics. 8th house is for insurance and sudden events in life.

A well placed Sun here, like Sun in the 5th house in own sign will further support the native enter into politics because 5th house is the house of politics, leadership and power. The 10th house is administration.

Example 2: Libra Ascendant, Saturn in the 10th house in the sign of Cancer in its own constellation (Pushya Nakshatra)

Saturn signifies here 4th and 5th house due to lordship, and 10th house due to occupancy.

Saturn is in its own constellation, gaining the capacity to give results more strongly.

Houses signified: 4, 5 and 10

Saturn will give success in the field of teaching and education.

Reason: 4th and 5th house are the houses of education. 10th house brings success in career.

The support of Jupiter and Mercury will further enhance these qualities in the native as both Jupiter and Mercury are beneficial planets for education and teaching.

I hope that you are able to understand how Saturn and other planets can shape your life.

A planet starts showing its effect from the day its time period starts. Sometimes, people change career or entirely change their path or way of living, this happens when there is a major dasha change and the lord of the previous and later dasha indicate something entirely different.

A planet brings its own flavor but the houses signified by the planet clearly indicates the direction or path you will follow. If you have a strong Saturn and your Saturn time period is about to start then instead of searching what Saturn represents look within and you will feel an inclination towards a certain field of education/work and that will lead you to success.

Saturn is that one planet that will ask for a lot of dedication, consistency and hard work but will surely give you success in the long run. Saturn is the most trustworthy planet and a well placed Saturn is a boon.

Saturn transit in Capricorn

On the 24th of January, Saturn will move into Capricorn. This will begin a three-year transit that will have an important impact on the world. The transit begins when the Moon is in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra, and on Amavasya tithi, the last waning day of the lunar month. This configuration will make Saturn's transit in Capricorn much more spiritually inclined than the average transit, and suggests a greater need to overcome obstacles in the beginning of the transit. On the individual level, this is a great time for working diligently on whatever Saturn is affecting in your chart. If you are curious to know what Saturn is doing in your chart,

When Saturn is behaving itself, it produces a sense of responsibility, hard work, productivity, patience, organizational ability, good management, commitment, and the ability to bring things into concrete form. In other words, a positive Saturn helps us to get things done and to make things happen. You could say that Saturn is the best planet for actualizing your desires. In fact, it's the only planet that allows us to get what we want. Every other planet gives a variety of desires, but no other planet, except for Saturn, gives us the ability to make those desires materialize. So if you play your cards right, Saturn just might help you to make some first rate progress in your life, during the next three years. 

Of course, there is also the fact that Saturn and Jupiter will be in a conjunction at the end of 2020. For mundane astrology, the astrology of nations and for the world, this means that dharma (truth & natural law) will be at a low point.   We have already noticed this tendency building up over the past few years, with the way that public figures and even the media have made a sport out of denying any fact that doesn't agree with their agendas. While the denial of truth is the very definition of adharma (the opposite of dharma), this phenomenon is more related to Jupiter's movement into Capricorn, later in the year, and is not really a Saturn's issue.

So this transit of Saturn, when you apply it to individual horoscopes, should produce generally more positivity than the average transit. In fact, it could produce some downright excellent results in your life, if you make even a moderate effort in the area that Saturn is transiting. That's because Saturn doesn't give you anything for free. Even when it is going to give you something amazing, Saturn makes you work for it. In this way, a good transit of Saturn is like one of those 401 K investment plans offered by some employers. In 401 K plans, the employee puts in some money into his 401 K account, and the employer matches it by putting he same about of money into his account.

That's sort of like what Saturn does. If you put some effort into improving your life in the direction indicated by the transit of Saturn, Saturn will match your effort by giving you extra support and progress in that area. But you have to work at it and be patient. With Saturn, it's no pain, no gain.

The area of life that Saturn will affect, during this transit, will depend on what house the sign of Capricorn occupies in your natal chart. Here is a description of what might happen for you during this transit, based on your Vedic chart.  If you happen to be a student of Vedic astrology, or if you know your Vedic Moon sign, Sun sign, and/or your Arudha lagna sign, then you can read the results given for those signs as well. The transits of Saturn from each of these perspectives will be relevant in your life.

Aug 17 - Sep 16 (Leo) During the transit of Saturn in Capricorn, you are being challenged to improve your health. This is a great time to get on the stick with your diet and exercise programs.

This is a time to let go of sentiment, and just get down to business when you communicate.

Dec 16 - Jan 13 (Sagittarius) Saturn is now passing through your second house, the house of money, speech, and food.

It's also a good time to improve your finances, by getting organized, and reassessing your long term financial plan. This is a great time to save money.

Saturn One way on Mercury

It is relevant to observe that while the Moon governs the emotions or the emotional mind, Mercury governs the intelligence, and when Moon and Mercury are both afflicted by Saturn, the native may suffer from mental illness, lunacy, loss of memory, schizophrenia, etc.

If Mercury and Saturn are well placed and rule good houses, one may have a power of deep thinking and concentration and may excel in philosophy and sciences, for Mercury presides over intelligence and Saturn over depth. In addition to being aspected by Saturn, is also aspected by good planets like Jupiter, one may excel in studies and mental pursuit.

Saturn's aspect on Mercury will also impart artfulness, dexterity and ability - which may become cunning if the birth chart is of low order, or tact or diplomacy in better nativities. Saturn's aspect certainly bestows the capacity to conceal one's thoughts - which may be used for good or bad purpose, depending on other factors in the chart.

It will be observed that only when Mercury is in his own sign and aspected by Saturn does he generate a positive influence, otherwise the result of Saturn's aspect on Mercury are evil. 

Some of the saturnine attributes are austerity, affliction, fear, callousness, contraction, jealousy, malevolence, maliciousness, a secretive nature, sinful acts, worry, weariness, depression, destruction, grief and gloom. no wonder he causes such dismal effects.

From PF class:

Issues around constant overthinking 

• Does it lead to clarity or confusion?

Interplay with Bhuddi leading to clarity is a vehicle of reflection or it can go in the direction of irrational

Over reliance on the rational mind  and the slippery slope of irrationality 

•  if the rational mind is not sound - it leads to issues
• Issues around manipulation of self and other things "mind games"

Rules! what Rules?

Mercury does not like to be constrained

The need for one's thinking to prevail at all costs without regard to health, well being and relationship

If these issues are not resolved, he will not communicate

Makes a person shy, socially awkward, Poor communication

Saturn fasting for 2019 – The Greatest of all Saturn Remedies

Lord Shani (Saturn) needs no introduction. He is the most misunderstood deity. People fear him as he is known for being just and strict when it comes to giving you the fruits of your past life karma be it good or bad.

Saturn – Your Karmic Imprint

Lord Shani (Saturn) is hailed as the Lord of Karma. The harsh and ultimate reality is that we are born to pay off our karmic debts, but we get lost in the process and get way too attached. It is at these times Saturn comes to our rescue to wake up and shake up things in our lives to help us get back to reality. The way Saturn goes about his duty is not enjoyable, but it certainly is extremely effective.
