Saturn is the most powerful and influential of all nine planets. Saturn is known as ‘Shani’ in Vedic astrology and it always has the perception of a cruel planet in people’s mind. The fact is Saturn is the planet which pertains to justice and will reward you for your good deeds and will penalize you for the bad ones. Saturn is in good terms with Mercury, Venus, and Rahu when Moon and Mars are its enemies. Saturn is the lord of Capricorn and Aquarius. This is a key planet for managers, politicians and judges as the planet is responsible for imparting an unbiased attitude to them. The planet has an influence on your maturity level and decision-making abilities.
However this transit will influence individuals born in various ascendants (Lagna) with varying degrees of influence depending upon the natal strength of the planets in that individual’s horoscope. Therefore at this stage an in-depth analysis of your horoscope is recommended.

If you know your ascendant in Vedic Indian Astrology, the following general indications might help you to take the necessary actions at least at this latter end of the transit.. However please do not take these indications too seriously without having an in-depth analysis of your horoscope conducted, as the placement of other planets in your horoscope may change the impact of these indications
