(You can check-out the series describing different characteristic of planets, here -: Planets in Vedic astrology )
In the last post of this series, we have discussed about the planet Venus. Here, we will discuss about the Saturn.
(Read the previous post of this series here -: The Venus )
The symbolic meaning of Saturn is “Negativity”, which is all about “Bad Luck”, “Pessimism” and “Restriction”.
“Bad luck” simply means “Scarcity”, “Poverty”, “Fear”, “Grief” and having a sense of all such things.
Similarly, “Pessimism” includes finding flaws/drawbacks, criticism and detachment.
Saturn represents “Loneliness”, “strangeness”, “abnormality”, “Perversion” and “Annihilation” all together.
The fear & grief of being rejected or, defeated is strongly represented by Saturn too.
Another major thing that it represents is “Restriction”.
Now, this restriction can be financial, physical or, restriction in time.
Because of the financial restriction; Saturn represents poor people, minorities, lower class people, servants, sub-ordinates, poverty and the attitude of giving service to others or, “Servitude”.
Similarly, because of the physical restriction; Saturn represents handicaps and people with disabilities.
Now, the greatest of all kinds of restrictions/limitations is the restriction in time and thus, Saturn represents "enduring things", i.e., things that never ends and repeated tasks or, daily routine etc.
Time causes “Decay” which leads to diseases, old age and finally death.
Diseases that primarily causes weakness, slowness such as paralysis and chronic diseases is represented by Saturn.
Old age also leads to various physical and mental restriction and weakness and therefore, Old people, sick people and old age is represented by Saturn.
After old age comes the ultimate restriction, i.e. “Death” and thus, both “Longevity” and “Death” is represented by “Saturn”.
Saturn is the slowest moving planet and farthest of all planets used in Vedic astrology.
From a distance, this slow moving planet, always keep its eyes on the activities of people over earth, notes down their karma (deeds) and give the appropriate consequences with time.
“Shani” is the deity of the Saturn. His father is none other than the mighty “Surya Dev” (Deity of the Sun) and mother is “Chayya” (The shadow of Devi “Sangya”).
“Shani Dev” is also a male deity in the Puranas, whose iconography consists of a handsome figure carrying a sword or “danda” (sceptre), and sitting on a crow.
He is a god of Justice in Hinduism and he gives benefits to all, depending upon their deeds (Karma). His consort is goddess “Manda”.
“Shani Dev” is often considered as “inauspicious” and bringer of bad luck and one who gets angry easily and takes revenge on whoever made him upset.
His alternate names include “Ara”, “Kona”, “Kroda” etc.
The “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra” or, “BPHS” is considered as the fundamental scripture of Vedic astrology and there, the description of “Shani” is given as follows -:
“The Saturn has an emaciated and long physique, honey colored eyes, is windy in temperament, has big teeth, is indolent, lame and has coarse, rough hair.”
{The personality and nature of the native is influenced by the ascendant, strong planet of the chart & ascendant of the D-9 (Navamsha) chart.}
Saturn is the significator of all the things that it represents and till now, we got a general idea of what it represents.
Let’s go one step further into the discussion to know what other things the Saturn can signify.

1. Discipline, duty, day to day work, hard work
