Predictions by Moon Signs: Planet Saturn in Vedic Astrology

Planet Saturn in Vedic Astrology:

Saturn is the most distant planet from the sun with the exception of Uranus and Neptune. It completes its revolution in 29 years 167 days and 5 hours and this is the duration of its year. A Saturnian is often self-made man or woman though their early efforts are generally attended by obstacles and delays. Usually success comes to a Saturnian only after the age of 30. Saturn’s good influence bestows qualities which make it possible for us to reach our highest goals. However, its malign influence tends to influence carelessness, indifference, suspiciousness, fear, melancholy and laziness. Planet Saturn in Vedic astrology represents or governs miners, transporters, engineers, geologists, mechanical workers, communicators, low quality sculptors and slaughterers. Since Vedic astrology is an ancient science above mentioned professions can be equated to modern day equivalents.

Planet Saturn is the deep acting planet affecting the highest and lowest in human beings. The relationship between matter and spirit is represented by a cross at the top linked with a semi circle. The special shape of the curve linked with the third corner of the cross representing death is of great significance. Death is the end of one series of event. The openness of the cycle can mean either the cessation of one cycle of events or it may mean complete upsetting of one’s life pattern and style of living. It is imperative to understand that the impulses flowing through the planet Saturn are for infusing deeper understanding of the materialistic nature of human existence and thereby providing to the individual wisdom so that the wheel of ignorance could be pierced to some extent.
