THE most-dreaded transit in the world is that of Saturn, while the most eagerly awaited transit is again, that of Saturn. How is it so contradictory? Those under the grip of Saturn await its transit to the next sign, while those enjoying a favorable Saturn fear its transit! In this write-up, I will discuss the movements of Saturn, its impact on mundane affairs, influence on the twelve Zodiacal Signs and how it impacts people, who are born in any one of the twelve signs, representing the Zodiac. Saturn symbolizes the Karma (deeds) to be performed to uphold Dharma (righteousness), and hence it is known as "The Karma Karaka". It is the signifier of hard work, perfection, spirituality, discipline, reverse engineering, slowing down of events, obstacles, delays and matters foreign to a native. Saturn is the most dreaded planet, as it is considered the most malevolent, amongst all natural malefic planets of Vedic Astrology. Here, the effects of Saturn's transit are studied from different angles.

Moorthi Nirnaya method

The Moorthy Nirnaya method is well explained by Prof N E Muthuswamy in his magnum opus "Dictionary of Astrology".In this book ,the treatment is alike for both benefics as well as malefics. At the time of Saturn's entry into Aquarius, Moon will be in Anuradha Star (Pada 1). So Saturn is Swarna Moorthi for Capricorn, Gemini and Scorpio (1, 6 and 11 counted from Janma Rasi to Scorpio). It is Rajata Moorthi for Libra, Cancer and Pisces (2, 5 and 9 from JanmaRasi). It is Tamra Moorthi for Virgo, Taurus and Aquarius (3, 7 and 10 from JanmaRasi). It is Loha Moorthi for Leo, Aries and Sagittarius (4, 8 and 12 from JanmaRasi)

Swarms Maarthi	Excellent	Capricorn, Gemini and Scorpio
Rajato Moorthi	Good	Libra, Cancer and Pisces
Tamra Moorthi	Average	Virgo, Tarus and Aquarius
Loha Moorthi	Bad	Leo, Aries and Sagittarius

Saturn Transit reckoned from Birth Star (Janma Nakshathra):
The Star in which Saturn transits, reckoned from Janma Nakshatra, has vital importance in judging the nature of results. This is called Anga Shani. This can be judged from Table 5.

Table-5: Anga Shani

Star	Part of the body	Result
1	Face	Fear, Loss
2 to 5	Left Shoulder	Success
6 to 11	Leg	Illness, Worries
12 to 16	Heart	Gain of Money
17 to 20	Right Shoulder	Fear
21 to 23	Head	Gain of Status
24,25	Eyes	Comfort
26,27	Anus	Fear of Death

Saturn transit from Ashtakavarga angle
When Saturn in his Ashtakavarga transits a house which has zero to eight bindus, the results are as follows:

Table-6: Transit Effects from Astakavarga Angle

8	One become the head of a village or town
7	One gets fool slaves, came and other animals
6	One gains respect from the leaders o thieves
5	One gels bountiful agricultural produce
4	Moderate happiness
3	Los of wealth
2	Imprisonment, sickness, anxiety, poverty stricken
1	sickness
0	Loss of everything, death

Please note that interpretation of transit results without considering Ashtakavarga angle would lead to erroneous results. In an article of this nature, it is impossible to take into consideration all the individual charts. Hence the Astrologer should take all the predictions as generic in nature and not announce this to an individual without taking his/her Ashtakavarga chart into consideration. Transit rules are generic in nature. Ashtakavarga system enables correlation of transit results with reference to an individual's chart. Without Ashtakavarga system, transit rules will only lead to vague conjectures. Only with the help of Ashtakavarga, an erudite Astrologer can interpret transit results with the support of the natal chart.
