Saturn is the most dreaded planets of all. It controls death, going to jails, struggles in life, hard work, punishment and so many things which we do not even want to think about. But the question arises is Saturn no good!
Let us understand what is Saturn. Saturn is the controls in our lives, it acts like breaks in a car. What good a car would be if it has no breaks. Likewise in our lives Saturn plays a very important role, it defines our limitation and let us focus on what we can do. A man wants to do everything, he want's to be a fighter, a dancer, a billioner, a Romeo and so many things at the same time. In reality what happens, a person tries different things in life, he tastes defeat, and finally he chooses a field where he has a chance of succeeding. This is how Saturn does its work, it helps a person concentrate on one thing till he is ready for another.
Saturn controls other planets as well. Like Mars, is our action, our ability to fight in the world. If there is no Saturn, which induces fear of war in us and in turn helps us to choose our battle wisely, Mars would turn a small street fight into a death fight. Similar is the case with mercury, we can keep talking and beating about the bush, if in a chart Saturn has influence over mercury, than a person would talk only if it is required and would talk in least possible words, such people do notbeat around the bush. Coming to Jupiter, Jupiter helps a person gain knowledge in the world. People with strong influence of Jupiter attain great knowledge. When Saturn influences Jupiter it forces Jupiter to apply the knowledge it has attained to practical work.
A person likes to remain in his comfort zone and any deviation causes discomfort, however for achieving anything substantial we need to get out of our comfort zone. Saturn forces us into uncomfortable zone. This is the reason when the influence of Saturn comes to our lives we are forced to look at the other side of life and we get frustrated and irritated. If you pay attention to sani sade sati, a person becomes mature and a better individual after he has endured the sade sati. This is because Saturn has helped him to get to the right path.
Saturn also helps in enduring our work, Saturn is endurance itself. It is the hard work in a person's life. How much hardworking a person would be, is determined by the position of Saturn in his chart, this in turn decides how successful would a person would be. Because there are no shortcuts to hard work, and hard work pays!
Saturn is as beautiful as it actually looks in the sky. So what if sometimes it gives hardship, there also it is helping us getting cleared of our previous bad deeds. Saturn is like a strict father who looks harsh to a child but actually the father is trying to shape his future.
