Remedies for Planet Saturn in Indian Astrology

In Indian astrology, Planet Saturn (Shani) is called the great taskmaster and karmic judge. Saturn represents discipline, struggles, delays, justice, hard work, and responsibilities. When strongly placed, Shani blesses with long-term success, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. However, an afflicted Saturn in the horoscope — especially during Sade Sati, Dhaiya, or Shani Mahadasha — may bring obstacles, failures, debts, diseases, poverty, delays, fears, losses, and hardships. Therefore, astrologers advise certain remedies to pacify Saturn and gain his blessings.

Saturn is said to be malefic if it is aspected or is associated with malefic planets or is in Aries or is situated in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th or 12th house.
