In astrology, Saturn is a major planet that influences work and time. When a person runs the Dasha (planetary period) of Saturn, they generally experience suffering. However, the suffering is directly related to the person’s own karma, and Saturn merely delivers the results. Saturn is the only planet that is extremely practical and has very low pleasing effects — meaning a person cannot please Saturn by skipping their assigned duties.
Although every planet has its specific karmic role, Saturn’s work is unique because it helps you complete your soul journey. Saturn is also a very balanced planet, which is why it becomes exalted in the Libra sign and gains directional strength in the 7th house. If Saturn is well-placed in a chart, the person will have a very balanced approach toward both material and spiritual life.
Every planet brings both good and bad results depending on its house placement and conjunctions, and Saturn is no exception. For example:
- If Saturn is placed in the 1st house, it can create trouble in personality development, but at the same time, the person will receive good service from subordinates or servants.
- If a person has a Saturn-Mars conjunction in their chart, they will be very hard-working but may face high or low blood pressure issues.
There are several such examples. Therefore, a person should not blame Saturn only for their suffering but should also consider the blessings it brings.
Everyone knows about the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Edison. He made thousands of mistakes while trying to create the bulb but finally succeeded. When people asked him why he failed so many times, he answered, “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
This perseverance is the true gift of Saturn.
The above chart is Edison’s chart. In this chart, we can see that his Saturn is sitting in the 5th house (the house of learning). Now we can understand why he considered those thousand efforts as learning rather than failures.
It is not that he did not face any malefic effects of Saturn. If we read about his childhood, we can understand how traumatic the situation was and how much he struggled in his classical studies.
If we observe the conjunctions of Saturn, it is conjunct with Sun and Venus. This conjunction caused troubles in relationships and challenges during childhood, but its positive result is reflected in his intelligence and his success as a great entrepreneur.
Thus, the total aim of writing this article is to make you all understand that Saturn gives suffering to help you evaluate and fulfill your soul purpose.
