Saturn is a very important planet in astrology. It is the planet of karma whether it is good or bad. It is a slow moving planet. Saturn denotes hard working ability, how long one can sit and do work. It is like a routine job. It is a planet of fear, limitation, responsibility, stability, law, order and menial work. Saturn represents structured, organized and patience. It teaches us a life lesson by putting us into difficult situations. Like too much of household responsibility, putting limitations in life. It makes a person humble. It also rules the income, social friend network, large group of people, lower class workers and old people. By looking at the sign and position of the Saturn in the birth chart one can judge someone's past life karma. Saturn is the main planet that allows us to feel the effects of our karma. He shows us the mistakes and allows us to avoid them in the future. Saturn also is our capacity and need for a healthy level of solitude and gratitude for what we have. In this way, Saturn teaches us to live simply and move beyond our attachment to a false sense of security that comes from excessive materialism. When a person is excessively materialistic, Saturn energy hurts them deeply. It is the nature of Saturn to shatter illusions around fear and make us mature.
Saturn gives money according to past life as well as present life karma. Mostly those people who are rich have very good Saturn in their chart because they have done good karma. That is why in Hindu philosophy we emphasize on karma. There is a saying in Bhagavad Gita as you sow as you shall reap. So one should do good karma to escape from the bad effect of Saturn. It is not Saturn who punishes us but it is our own bad karma that punishes us.
Saturn debilitated in Aries because it is opposite of those qualities which Saturn rules. Aries sign ruled by Mars. Mars is individualistic, action, ambitious and impulsive. Mars is black and white thinking and takes action first and thinks later. Mars don’t want to sit in one place, are very sporty, unorganized and have less patience which is opposite of Saturn qualities.
When Saturn debilitates the person is not hardworking. These people are very selfish, bitter, controlling, and cruel. The excess worldly ambition will lead to these people taking too much responsibility due to the fact that they suffer health problems and stress. Because controlling their behavior makes enemies very easy.
Debilitated Saturn people are reckless. They may ruin their career due to indecisive decisions, wrong decisions and bad discrimination can harm the person. This may lead to distrust of people and may cause depression. Because their Saturn energy is not stable Saturn brings fearful, insecure, and confused, nature. Saturn is practical in nature but here practical and humanistic quality is destroyed. Weak Saturn people are further away from higher dharmic purposes. They lack a feeling of understanding human emotions, because of that they don’t respect elderly people.
Remedy of weak (debilitated) Saturn:
One should not be selfish.
Keep patience in bad situations.
Before taking any action think deeply whether it is the right action or wrong.
Learn how to do work patiently and with dedication. Even if it becomes unpleasant internally or difficult externally.
Not be individualistic, should think for others also.
Have nice and sympathetic behavior.
Respect elderly people and take their blessings.
When we identify ourselves as an entity of form, there is fear and stress. When we identify ourselves as an entity beyond time, there is freedom. This is the essence of Saturn: try to be not fearful and understand this world is an illusion nothing is permanent.
One should learn how to let go of things and live in a healthy solitude.
We should always do good deeds so that we can get good karma(deed) results.
Do meditation.
Pour water on shivling in the temple on every Saturday in the morning.
