Saturn Transit in Aquarius: Saturn (Shani) enters Aquarius (Kumbh) on January 17, 2023
Saturn is the planet notorious for giving us the life lessons we should not forget. The great disciplinarian and the Karmic planet, Saturn is going to barge into the Air sign of Aquarius on the 17th of January, 2023, according to the Vedic astrology. The Saturn is slow in its motion, hence called 'mandha' in Vedic astrology. Saturn takes around two and a half years to cross a zodiac sign and 29 and a half years to finish the full cycle of all zodiac signs. Shani dev is the lord of Karma and justice. He dispenses justice for the deserving and makes us pay for the wrongs we have done in our past lives as well as the present one, too. He makes no compromises. 'What you sow, you shall reap' is the sum total of Sani dev's policy.
Sani is Surya Putra with Chaya Devi. In astrology, he governs the Capricorn and Aquarius as its lord. It is in exhalation in Libra and debilitated in Aries. Saturn rules the tenth house, being the house of karma and the eleventh house, which is the house of returns or results, in the Kalapurush kundli. Saturn rules over bones, teeth, knees, and ears. Saturn rules the south direction in Vaasthu sashtra.
Saturn will be positive for people who are straightforward, charitable, and law-abiding wherever it transits. Just that Saturn does not endure injustice, especially towards women, old people, helpless and handicapped people. He punishes people to make them understand the extent of their misdeed so that it won't be repeated by them or by those involved.
