Shani (Saturn) is the most feared yet most important planet in Vedic astrology. Known as the 'Karmadhipati' (lord of karma), Saturn delivers results based on past and present karma. Saturn's transit is the slowest (2.5 years per sign), and its most famous period is Sade Sati - a 7.5-year transit that tests a person's patience, discipline, and moral character. Saturn governs the 10th house (career) and 11th house (gains) as natural significator. A well-placed Saturn gives immense success through hard work, discipline, longevity, and mastery. A weak Saturn brings delays, chronic ailments, poverty, and obstacles. Saturn teaches life's most important lessons through hardship and is ultimately the planet of spiritual growth.
