How is Saturn Special in Vedic Astrology?

Saturn or Shani holds a unique significance in Vedic Astrology as it represents

• Planet of Karma
• Discipline
• Maturity (Emotional & Mental)
• Hard-work
• Growth
• Delay in achieving things in life

Despite the grim points(if you perceive them so), Saturn is the only planet that can aid in achieving one a person aspires for in life. It is the only planet that can reward someone with accolades that one cannot even think of. After seeing people like this, the society comments – He/She became an overnight success!!

The observation will not be apt as no one sees the hardwork, sacrifice and persistence of the individual.

Now coming to the points that can aid an individual to please Saturn and earn its blessings

1. Never take shortcuts in life
2. Give to others – books, clothes, shoes, etc.
3. Treat people who are doing blue-collar work with respect and dignity
4. Never try to bribe your way out or evade taxes
5. Never shy from hardwork

Hope this aids in some better understanding of the planet Saturn and how it aids an individual in their life on this planet.

This post comes on the “birth anniversary” of Shani/Saturn (also called Shani Jayanti in the Indian Subcontinent).

Do good, respect others and believe in God

God Bless!!
