Saturn is perhaps the most misunderstood planet in Vedic Astrology. Often associated with delays, restrictions, and hardships, it is actually the planet of discipline, karma, and ultimate truth.
The Taskmaster of the Zodiac
In a birth chart, wherever Saturn is placed, that area of life requires patience and hard work. Saturn does not deny success; it merely delays it until you have learned the necessary lessons.
For example, if Saturn is in your 7th house of marriage, it may delay marriage or bring challenges in partnerships, but it also promises longevity and stability once the lesson of commitment is learned.
Saturn Return
Every 28-30 years, Saturn returns to the exact degree it was at when you were born. This period, known as the Saturn Return, marks a significant rite of passage into true adulthood.
Saturn strips away what is false to reveal what is enduring.
