Features of Saturn According to the Vedic Scripture
Vedic scriptures
always inspire a person to believe in Karma. All the texts including
Bhagvadgeeta of the idle Krishna promote Karma and Saturn is also
considered as a Karma planet in all the nine planets.
In the
birth-chart of Kala-purusha, Saturn has lordship of the tenth house
which is the house of profession and eleventh house which is the house
of benefits. Both of these houses are related to Karma, thus, it is
well-justified that why Saturn has lordship of these two houses.

You may find
more about the malefic effects of Saturn in the vedic scriptures. Due
to which people have developed a fear of Saturn’s Sadesati and Mahadasha
of Saturn. But reality is different just as the two sides of the same
coin are not the same similarly Saturn makes the person familiar with
all types of situations.
There are
different views of different vedic scriptures on Saturn and its effects.
Let us here observe the views of the famous scriptures of Astrology.
The famous spiritual text “ Vrihtparashar Hora” of Vedic Astrology believes:
“कृ्शदीर्घतनु: सौरि: पिंगदृष्टय निलात्म :
स्थूल दन्तोअलसी पंगु: खररोगकंचो द्वि!ज”
In other words, Saturn is a planet which has a weak physique, giant body, pale eyes, sharp teeth, lazy and have thick dry hair.
Besides
this, Saturn is also considered as the lord of the fertile land and the
karak planet of thorny and lanquished trees. Saturn is the oldest planet
among all the nine planets. It is the lord of winter season. Saturn is
also considered as the karak of vengeful life.
According to another vedic scripture “Jatak Tatvam” Saturn is:
“क्रियास्वपटु: कातराक्ष: कृ्ष्ण: कृ्शदीर्घागो:
वृ्हददन्तो रुक्षातनूरुहो वात्मात्मा कठिनवाग्निन्धो मन्द:”!
In other
words, Saturn represents failures in profession, have scary eyes, dark
complexion, thin, tall, rough looks, dry hair nd use harsh words.
“Phaldipika”
is also one of the famous texts of vedic astrology. According to
Phaldipika Saturn is analysed to assess longevity, financial crisis,
stability, servants, bull, laziness, loan, iron, agricultural tools,
death, sadness, health problems, poverty, assistance of lower class,
imprisonment and bondages.
In this way
various other spiritual texts have similar views and opinions on Saturn
and its effects. All the texts has one common opinion on Saturn and its
results that it is strong, tough and a malefic planet. One more thing
they say is when the person is blessed with Saturn in his chart then he
become wealthy and rich but if he gets affected by the malefic influence
of Saturn in his chart the person may not get enough to eat and have
scarce resources.
In short,
When Saturn gets impressed with someone it bless the person with
happiness and prosperity. But if it is afflicted then the person may
face a lot of problems to fulfill the necessities of his life. The
effects and results of Saturn are not same for everyone. The planetary
yogas, Mahadasha-Antardasha of other planets also influence the results
of Saturn.
