SATURN:
Saturn, the planet whom we look with awe and fear in dreadful way thinking it is a planet which gives misery, sorrow and chronic diseases etc. etc.
But the truth is it is our real friend, it shows us the reality, makes us feel what responsibility is, drives to work for survival, follow rules, gives us long term plan, vision, creates the inclination to serve the mass, the poor, the unprivileged, gives us real spiritual knowledge etc. But we are mistaking our real friend and running in search of comfort, luxury, name, fame and achievement in this material world and finally getting nothing like Alexandar who told that at the time of my death while taking my dead body please keep my hands open on both the sides and let the world knows I had conquered nothing, came in empty hand and leaving the world with empty hand.
Now let us see why we say Saturn is our real friend.
Sun stands for ego, confidence and dominance.
Moon represents mind which changes from moment to moment.
Mercury always applies its mind in different things, calculates, sees perfection etc.
Mars known for its aggressiveness, courage etc.
Jupiter gives knowledge, honesty, righteousness, confidence, optimism.
Venus gives art, creativity, love, relationship, enjoyment etc.
Rahu stands for all materialstic developments.
Ketu stands for aloofness, dissatisfaction, spirituality etc.
None of these planets will show you reality of life. Jupiter comes nearer to it but while showing reality magnifies it with optimism. Rest planets go on their own ways. But Saturn shows you reality. It says that you are made of flesh and bones which is going to decay slowly. You are going to feel hungry, sick etc. you have to reap the fruits of your own karma. Open your eyes, do good work, work hard and take up your own responsibility and do not depend upon others.
We say Saturn Dasa came, its transit came as Sade sati, Dhaya and I am suffering from this disease. But actually Saturn did not cause that disease. This disease was there in your body, it was brewing. Saturn came, triggered the symptoms, it told you go to the doctor, check up your body, take medicine and get cured. So our real friend works for our survival. But we are misunderstanding it.
Similarly, for worries and miseries we are blaming Saturn without any reason. We have done some bad karma in previous births and Saturn is karma Phal data, its work is to give you the fruits of your past karma. Hence how can we blame Saturn for this?
Saturn also saves you from disastrous situation. Suppose you have resigned from job and are relaxing and enjoying the savings. When Saturn transit occurs it will warn you be responsible enough and search for a job otherwise your entire savings will be depleted soon. This makes the person suddenly wake up from dream state and face the reality. So Saturn does not make you miserable but alert you about the impending problem ahead and saves you from that problem.
It is the heaviest planet and second largest planet in the zodiac. It is a planet of slowness. It moves like tortoise but slowly and steadily it reaches to such heights which other planets cannot. Saturn is certainty. One should have the patience to reap the results.
Some people want to cross limit early, but Saturn brings them back and asks them to first crawl, stand and then run. Saturn tells you act on those areas which I have given you and do not cross the boundary. Saturn shows the limitation of a person. One can be a computer expert but cannot be a champion basketball player like Michel Jordan. It also shows Michel Jordan can get 6 NBA medals in basketball but cannot be Bill Gates.
This post is only to know how we grossly misunderstand our real friend, Saturn in life. Friends, no chart discussion please.
