Ashtama Shani & Your Nakshatra Pada

[rvenkats]

Dear Learned Members,

As I started Ashtama Shani obviously my interest in more piqued to know it better. I am a Makara Lagna and Poorvabhadra Pada (meena) rasi native which is the first Nk pada in Meenam. The last time I went through Ashtama Shani at the age of 7, the biggest impact at that time in my life was that during the beginning of that time I had severe stomach related illness that would force me to miss school but in about a 7-8 month time my illness was reduced and no more school missing. I didn't see any pressures of any kind with the exception of my class teacher who liked me and expected a lot from me. At that time, Gu was also in the eight for me in Libra and went to Sc and then my health improved.

Now overall, Sa is a benefic lord for me and even though he is in 8th my expectation is that he will impact my health, trouble me mentally in the areas of recognition and pressure from higher ups but not damaging in that I will have to learn humility and grunt work. I suspect that it will more mental pressure than physical impact. He is also reasonably strong (127% of shadbala strength), 4 Ashtakavarga points and I am currently running Me/Sa dasha.

We also know the entire duration of any transit is not going to be alike in that the results are going to be different as Sa transits slowly (3 months) per nakshatra pada. The exact ashtama nk pada is Chitra 3 pada for me. I would like us to share any interesting thoughts on whether the full effect (malefic or otherwise) will be felt when Sa transits the exact pada corresponding to your janma Nk Pada? In short, if the Nk Pada is earlier will they experience the full force earlier and then abate as you go or if the pada is later say the 7, 8 or 9th of the Rasi will the effects be minimal earlier and then hit hard later?

I mean we can look at this for Ju transit too. Any thoughts is greatly appreciated?

Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat

Although ashtam shani is not considered a good transit,Saturn being Asc lord is a benefic for you and he is also transiting exalted 10th house from lagna ,so one may expect developments (-ve or +ve depending on state of natal saturn in d-1,d-9,d-10) on professional front. Equally important and in fact a bigger factor is the running MD and AD..If they are benefic results shud be good despite tough transits

Dear astro123,

my dob is may 7, 1975 00:27 at srirangam. I am running Me/Sa which is supposed to be beneficial to me. The whole of the AD will be with Sa in Li and hence I am interested in knowing how that will turn out.

And taking it one more level, I am interested in seeing how each Nk pada that Sa goes through can impact.

Venkat

Difficult to say since i am not an astrologer..Both Mercury being 9th lord and Saturn are benefic planets for Cap Asc but u running dasa sandhi (the last antardasha of a Mahadasha ) Energies of the next MD lord Ketu may also be intermingling with the present period..If ketu is malefic and ill placed,then tough to expect good things even in merc/Sat

Dear astro123,

Ke is with Me in Rasi in the 5th house while in Navamsa he is in the 10th from Lagnamsa in Pi.

Dear Swamykool
Could you please shed some light on a situation of what would be the effects if Dhaiya of Sat starts during sub period of Sat itself? I am Kumbha lagna and Gemini rasi. I was undergoing Ket –Sat – Ven dasha when Dhaiya of Sat started on 10/09/2009. In my Chart ketu is poisted in 2nd house conjoined with Venus (1 degree only) and Sat is posited in the 11 house. It has taken a serious toll on my career. Look forward to hear from you.
