Celebrating The Combustion of Saturn...

[Saindhavi]

Please see Ghrishneshwar's comment above - Saturn aspects Mars the 7th lord apart from aspecting 7th house.

Saturn also aspects Rahu, thus further suppressing Mars the 7th lord.

Mars may be inimical to Libra, but it rules boh 2nd and 7th houses in this chart.

Following is one of the earliest images of Rekha before her transformation -



Her beauty is not because of Saturn in Lagna, which can't make a person attractive, but because of cosmetic enhancement.

[shikham]

Yes you are right. Saturn's aspect on Mars and Rahu does contribute to difficulties in relations.

About her beauty, she had to take the help of cosmetics to make her acceptable in bollywood and increase her fame throughout the world!

[Saindhavi]

Yes and nothing wrong with it in the film world. I find her gorgeous too - and also very talented in acting.

OK,

Here is another chart for you and everyone to work upon -

Date of Birth - June 19, 1970
Time - 05:50 am
Place - New-Delhi

[shikham]

3rd Lord in 1st and 11th Lord in 1st house assures a native is born in a very rich and sometimes powerful family.

9th Lord is debilitated but malefics do well in 11th house, so he will always have gains through his/her father given Sun is strong here. The native will have less hairs. Mars in Lagnesh will give him/her fighting spirit and never give up attitude.

Moon is in gandanta so something about his health or some tragic event in his/her family must have taken place. However Mars in 1st house will compensate for any weakness that the native may have due to weak constitution.

Venus as 5th Lord in 2nd house will give the handsome face and good education and family background.

As the karaka for father is conjunct with 6th Lord, sometimes and there is aspect of Saturn as 8th Lord, the native's father will see ups and downs in life and accidents not ruled out.

The native's marriage may not be good as malefics aspects 7th house.

Hope this time 10/10!!

[shikham]

Mars as 6th Lord in 1st house may give the nature fondness for guns or mafia!!

[explorings]

OMG!! I can't believe that was Rekha's chart... I always thought Rekha was a very strng Mangalik person.
Shikham, please do not give the answer for this one I really wanna work on this chart!

[Saindhavi]

So, Saturn is out of combustion range now.

According to some calculations, Saturn moves into Libra on 11th of Nov, while according to others, it moves into Libra on 15th and becomes exalted.

All are invited to share their experiences about how their phase of Saturn combustion was during last week Sep-Oct 31st.

I believe it was particularly bad for Virgo Ascendant people, in whose Ascendant a friendly Saturn went combust. Explorings above said she was having a tough time. I know of another case of a Virgo Ascendant person who had a bad accident on Durga Puja and had to undergo surgery for shoulder fracture.

With Saturn coming out of combustion, Virgo Ascendant people should feel relief.

But it was not so bad for Libra Ascendant people, in whose 12th house Saturn had been troubling them for more than 2 yrs. Saturn's combustion minimised the excessive expenditure.

I know at least one Pisces Lagna person who lost her job (Saturn is combust in her Lagna chart, at 2 degrees from the Sun). Saturn in her 7th house went combust, affecting professional partnerships. This was despite Jupiter being in 2nd house of wealth. Combust Saturn in lagna means she already got a weak effect of Saturn in 7th and when it went combust, she completely lost its impact.

Virgo lord Mercury was also combust for quite some time, so this was a particularly bad time for people in whose chart Virgo house plays a significant role.

Today, Saturn is at 28.41 degrees, soon going into the transition zone, which means its power will be minimal during this phase for a few days, before it becomes exalted in Libra.

You can watch its impact on your lives during its passing through the transition zone and becoming exalted in Libra - on 11th or on 15th of Sept by different calculations.

Virgo lord Mercury is in Scorpio at 7.50 degrees and Libra lord Venus is also in Scorpio at 8.6 degrees. Both are with Rahu at 22 degrees. Scorpio is not a good sign for Mercury and Venus.

Mars is no longer debilitated in Cancer. It has gone into Leo at 2.19 degrees, aspected by Moon and Jupiter.

All this data will obviously mean differently for different people. You can observe and discuss the changes in the past one month and in the coming few days here. Please mention your Ascendant and Saturn's location in your chart.

Here is my experience
Cap Asc..Saturn in Virgo is my Saturn Return..Career derailed the moment Saturn entered virgo and still not back on track yet..Dont see any effects whatsover of transit to Libra yet..Happen to be running Saturn AD as well

[takla]

[mysticriver2003]

My experience,

Libra ascendant, Sa in 3rd house( saggi) with Mars, Moon in aq (5th house) along with rahu with in 4 degrees, and Aq also has Mercury ..

Any way, the last month has been quiet dramatic, my internship had to start but couldn't start due to "Telangana Bandh", My dreams got shattered, i had to go through typhoid, which started at 6th OCt, and was on till around 20th, Till here it was all depression, and study wise i was not doing great, my internship which was to start, hadn't started and got delayed by 45 days, my dream to do masters abroad for fall 2012 was ended with me not getting my passport on time, and remains a dream for now.

Later that week after my health got improved, i sat down and thought about my future, and suddenly found a course that i liked which was in INDIA and within my state, and got excited, went to the university, talked to the dean and got selected.At the end i'm happy

But still have to go through a few technical problems, the new course won't accept me without me completing my internship, but my internship will complete only in march and this new course would start this nov, so still a few problems i'm sure god will always have his way ..And thought that my not getting passport all these days was because god had other plans for me

Relations: Well, what to say, its all in the mind ..and nothing working as expected..Surely waiting for better time

Currently Running MD-Sa and AD- Ra, pratyantar: Mo

Astro123,

I remember you saying elsewhere that Libra is 8th from your Moon and hence, you don't expect much from exalted Saturn years either.

Well, I do hope that Lagna chart has a stronger impact than Moon chart on you and hence, exalted Saturn in 10th will take your career to great heights! watch and come and write your experience here. At least my Lagna chart works more strongly than my Moon chart.

But we also have to see Saturn's 7th and 10th aspects in your case, since it will affect your 4th and 7th houses related to domestic matters and relationships. We have to see what impact the exalted Saturn has on these houses. This is especially important because you are running Saturn Dasha.

Takla,

you also have Rahu blocking your 2nd house of family and wealth till December next year, though till May next year Jupiter protects your 11th house of financial gains and after that it will aspect Rahu till Rahu will join Saturn in your Ascendant and will become benefic.

Mars has been malefic in 9th and debiliatetd in 10th houses in your chart for past few months, leading to career problems.

My estimate is that from mid-November this year, job situation will improve for you and from May 2012 you will rise, when Jupiter aspects Rahu.

Give me 2 days. I'll see your chart on Sunday, as I'm busy with some other matter for 2 days.

Mysticriver,

I saw your chart once. See details there, because I forget. But your Saturn is benefic and should give better result from mid-November and very good result from mid-May next year, when Jupiter aspects Rahu. But I think I told you to do some remedy for Mars. Mars afflicts and reduces the power of Saturn in your chart.

Combust Saturn in Virgo should have minimised your problems to some extent, but for some time Mars has been malefic in your 9th house of Bhagya first and debilitated in your 10th house of career later. This has clashed with malefic Mars in your Lagna chart.

In current transit, Rahu is malefic in your 2nd house of family and wealth as well.

[takla]

Thanks Saindhavi for the reply. I would be eagerly waiting for your post on Sunday.

Jupiter Mahadasha has been relatively tougher (kept moving, more mental stress, Saadhe Saati, and now no job - never been job-less for that long earlier) for me than Rahu Mahadasha (gave me +ve results, though with not full potential). BTW, Saturn is in my mooltrikona too.

Unfortunately I do not wish to celebrate combustion of Saturn

In my natal chart, saturn is positioned in my virgo lagna. I enjoyed its direct transit in Virgo during the past 2.5 yrs. where I had short foreign trips, enjoyed benefits by superiors and govt., additional responsibilities that helped me developed personally as well as professionally. However, its combustion in Virgo coincides with a troublesome and extremely stressful phase for me. Its retrograde period was the worst for me, I had too many health issues, emotional distress, personal as well as professional setbacks, etc.

Its current combustion, is causing unnecessary stress, mental anguish, etc. in my life again and is completely stressing me out. I can definitely see a pattern here with Saturn's movements... I can't wait for November 15, 2011!

I have Saturn in my lagna (Virgo) so this was a Saturn Return for me. Saturn Return usually brings change in responsibilities and it did whenever it had a direct transit. However, as soon as it goes combust, it becomes a terrible phase for me. Retro is even worse.

Saturn aspects my 3rd, and 10th house along with 7th and I strongly believe its direct motion fortifies these houses. However, to date I have not received much comforts of direct aspect on 7th, which was also a bit problematic part throughout this transit. When it goes combust my 7th and 10th house suffers the most. However, this Oct all 3 houses were at their extreme low. A lot issues in regards to relationships, partnerships, and financial issues. I suffered from extreme mental anguish and was butchered from every side, I also had a small accident though no major damage took place. Around mid-Oct I started having effects of Saturn in Libra but that was again for a day or two. However, since last week I am at much peace and not much tormented by things happening around me so I am guessing I have started experiencing Saturn's direct effects already I am glad it is direct again and on its way out of Virgo!

Saturn's Leo and then Virgo transits were unusually stressful (Leo I guess was terrible for almost everyone I knew). I have an Aries moon so exalted Libra transit will be a Saptam Shani for me and Libra is a sign of relationships so I am not looking for a particularly merry time in terms of relationships and partnerships. It will be interesting to see what Shani Dev has to offer for me now! Thoughts welcome!

[Saindhavi]

Explorings,

Thanks. I'll get back on this tomorrow. Have some work now.

[kc123]

My moon sign as well as ascendent is Virgo, so the last few years (starting September 2009) have been really stressful on all fronts. Saturn in my D1 is vargottama and with Sun in the eleventh house (cancer). Saturn in Virgo adversely affected just about every aspect of my life that is important to me- my career, my family as well as my parents health. If I were to summarize my experience -it is the feeling of helplessness due to your life being steered in a direction that you absolutely don't want to go to. Hopefully Saturn in Libra should provide some relief although I am not terribly optimistic

Thanks Saindhavi

Yep it will be exalted Ashtam shani in transit for me but in 10th from lagna..Saturn is a big game player in my chart...Venus -YK and ketu are both in Saturnine signs and Moon is in Saturn's NK aspected by Saturn ..Overall in the past ,Saturn periods has done more good than harm including sade sati..Saturn in leo was also good (favorable 6th from Moon)

[Saindhavi]

Takla,

I think you have problem in Jupiter periods because you have Guru Chandal yoga. Otherwise, your Jupiter should give you good effect.

Buy property after December next year, when Rahu leaves your house of wealth, Jupiter aspects your 2nd and 4th houses and Saturn is exalted in Libra. Even if you buy now, formally occupy it after December next year.

In your chart, Mercury is in transition zone in 9th house, which is not good. It causes obstacles in your way.

Recite Vishnu Sahasranama and Shrisuktam from Rig Veda. Saturn Mahadasha will be good for your career, but I'm not sure about family life. Recite Hanuman Chalisa daily. You may become more spiritual during Saturn Mahadasha.

Your career prospects will improve from November this year and will rise after May next year.

Do regular charity to poor, orphans, handicapped and menial workers.

[Saindhavi]

Explorings,

It seems you are quite accident prone. Since you rightly say that Saturn in your Lagna is good for you, I think you should see if Mars has something to do with your accidents.

No, I don't think Saturn's 7th aspect on your 7th house should be good. You are right that it will lead to problems. But exalted Saturn in Libra should be good for your family life and should give you immovable property. You'll accumulate wealth during this period.

Saturn in Leo should have been good for you. But most of the time Saturn when it should have been in Leo, it was actually retrograding into Cancer. Leo Saturn's problems mostly because of its retrogression into Cancer. Otherwise it should have been good for at least Capricorn, Virgo and Libra Ascendants.

[Saindhavi]

kc123,

Saturn in Virgo should have been good for you, except when it was combust or retrograde. If the entire period was bad for you, then it was either because of your Dasha running or because there are some more planets involved in creating problems for you. It's not because of Saturn's transit into Virgo. Exalted Saturn should be good for you.

You say Saturn is placed with Sun in your chart. Perhaps that's a reason why it gives you malefic effect when it should be good for you.

[Saindhavi]

Astro123,

My guess is that exalted Saturn will be good for you. You need no worry.

Thanks Saindhaviji. Yups you are spot on!

I am accident prone... 8L Mars in 12th house of accidents and wounds. Mars was debilitated in cancer at that point of time. But I somehow tend to come out of it unscratched it may be due to my retro Jupiter in 12th. Saptam Shani can be a bit tricky... I will also start with my Ra MD/Ket AD soon so it will be interesting to see the overall effects of this double transit. Hopefully, what you predicted should be it...

[kc123]

Hi Saindhavi:

Thanks for the reply. Yes, Saturn's Virgo transit has been challenging. Even I thought that Saturn would be at worst neutral for me because of the ownership of a trikon house. You had mentioned affliction due to Sun -
will that hold true even if they are separated by more than 21 degrees? Saturn is also in its enemy's house Cancer and also aspects its depositor Moon in the ascendent. I am also running Rahu's MD (my AK) so I guess your other point about an adverse MD is very true.

Thanks
KC

[Saindhavi]

Explorings,

Recite Hanuman Chalisa daily - for Mars and Saturn together. If your Mercury is well-placed, you can wear an emerald, since it's the gem for your Ascendant. Only see that emerald is clear and doesn't have cracks and blemishes. It's difficult to find a good emerald.

Takla,

If you are close to closing the deal, you can go ahead, since Jupiter aspecting your 11th house of gains from 7th should be good for you. In any case, Saturn is going to be exalted now, so you can go ahead. Do it after 15th of Nov if possible.

As for IT related business, your Mercury is weak (not bad, but weak), Rahu in 8th. Venus is not strong. So business in IT sector may not be a good idea.

Emerald (for Mercury) and white sapphire or diamond (for Venus) will be benefic for you.

I don't recommend blue sapphire to anyone, even if Saturn is good in the chart. This is because blue sapphire gives the effect of not only the chart, but also Gochar (transit) and I have seen it giving only bad effects. I have already suggested you remedies for Saturn in my post above. So you don't have to wear blue sapphire. Emerald and white sapphire or diamond are the only gems you should wear. White sapphire or diamond will also be good for your Ascendant.

I think instead of IT, you can deal with real estate business, which may be more beneficial for you, because of Jupiter and Venus.

Do the remedies suggested above.

kc123,

Yes, Sun afflicts your Saturn and Saturn's aspect on Moon is not good. I think Rahu Mahadasha is a cause for your problems. Before May this year, Rahu was debilitated in your 4th house and Ketu in 10th house for one and half years. Since last few months, Mars has been malefic in your 9th house first, and and after that debilitated in your 11h house of gains, aspecting your Lagna. I don't know where Rahu is in your chart, but in most places it would be give a troublesome Mahadasha.

Your problems are compounded by Mahadasha and Gochar. Saturn in Virgo has been bad for you only during its combustion or retrogression phase.

So, you should recite Hanuman Chalisa daily for Mars and Saturn. Recite Durga Sapatshati 1st chapter lighting ghee or lemon lamps as feasible.

See proper way to recite Durga Saptashati 1st chapter -

[takla]

Thanks Saindhavi for the reply. I wanted to mention few things to see if they impact in anyway. My Ascendant, Venus, Moon and Mercury seems to be Vergottam (as per my limited understanding, looking at D-9 chart).

Mars in my chart seems to be not well placed, which represents land and property. Is Real State still a good idea? Also, in past I have not been very lucky with property matters.
