Astrology, an ancient method, traces the influence of celestial bodies on humans, providing insight into their physical, mental, emotional and overall life experiences. This guiding force has been present since ancient civilizations.
Importance of Saturn:
Saturn, the sixth planet of the solar system, has been named Shanidev in Indian astrology. According to Hindu mythology, he is the son of Surya Dev (Sun) and Chhaya (Shadow), also known as Chhayaputra. Some astrologers consider Saturn to be the most aggressive and cruel among the nine planets. Known as the God of Justice, who symbolizes ‘Karma’, Shani rewards and punishes every human being based on their deeds, emphasizing the importance of karmic balance. Strong position of Saturn is believed to increase understanding and responsibility, while weak Saturn brings difficulties and troubles in life.
