Planet Saturn or Shani has a nasty reputation among those who believe in astrology. People dread the advent of Saturn periods like Sade Sati and Ashtama Shani in their lives, as it can bring many trials and tribulations. It is true that if Shani is not well placed in your horoscope, you will face many sufferings and hardships in most aspects of your life. But is Shani to blame for it? Not at all.

You see, Shani gives results based on your karma. He is the planet of justice. If you have led a life of honesty and integrity, you need not fear Shani. But if you have done evil deeds, Shani will make sure that you pay for your misdeeds. He plays the role of a teacher and a disciplinarian in our lives. The trials he puts you through are learning experiences that will enable you to become a better human being. 

Saturn will help you to face your fears. He takes you out of your comfort zone to make you stronger and tougher. Once the Shani period is over, you will be transformed utterly – for the better. But you need to stay patient and humble as he puts you through your paces. 

Every planet plays a role in our evolution, and they do it in different ways. Jupiter, for instance, gives us the highest knowledge. Saturn makes us work hard, become disciplined and confront our fears. So the ideal way to deal with Saturn is to work with it instead of against it. 

 If you think that Saturn is punishing you, you are queering the pitch for yourself, and things will only become harder. But if you accept it as a lesson, Saturn will reward you handsomely.

Saturn is known to create situations in life that will sorely test you. At times, you will feel like throwing in the towel. It can cause dejection and depression. Life will seem utterly hopeless. Just think of what King Harishchandra went through. He lost his kingdom, was separated from his wife, and his son died during his Saturn period. But, in the end, Saturn restored everything to him due to his honesty and integrity. 

Saturn pushes you towards meditation, awareness, self-exploration, selfless service etc. While Jupiter brings expansion, Saturn brings discipline. Interestingly, Saturn is believed to spare the devotees of Lord Hanuman from his harsh gaze. Let us see why.

Shani’s Debt to Hanuman

 Once, Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, was facing bad luck and many delays and obstacles to success. As it is Shani who causes delays and obstacles in life, he captured Shani and imprisoned him in a dungeon. When Hanuman came to Lanka in search of Sita, he came across Shani, who was languishing in the dungeon. He freed Shani, and the grateful Shani blessed him, saying, “Those who worship you will never be afflicted by me.” 

 Since then, people began to worship Hanuman to avoid the adverse effects of Shani. Hanuman represents devotion, faith, courage, strength, and confidence. He also embodies selfless service, joyful surrender, and the absence of ego. Hanuman has great power. Saturn’s impact on our lives leads to confusion, fear, selfishness, lack of trust, delays, restrictions and limitations.

By worshipping Lord Hanuman, one can imbibe his traits which will help you to overcome the trials and tribulations of Shani/Saturn. For those who are already on the spiritual path, Shani can be good. For those who are not, he will make sure that you follow the spiritual path. If the worldly life holds you in thrall, Saturn will trouble you so that you will turn away from it and try to seek the true and bigger wealth that lies within you.

To befriend Saturn, reject the idea that he is a malefic planet. If you work with him, he will be on your side. Embrace spiritual practices and do selfless service. Then you can benefit from Saturn’s energy. 

Look at Saturn Transit as an opportunity to grow and evolve as a spiritual being rather than a time of challenges and problems.
