Saturn in Taurus | Womanizing Saturn
Placement from the Mulatrikona: 4H (heart)
State: Mutual friends
Mood: Womanizing Śani
Vṛṣabha is the 2H of the natural zodiac
ruling face, speech, family, wealth, among many other things. It is fixed,
earthy and an even sign. The sign is ruled by Śukra, the karaka for a relationship,
sex, semen, and comforts and luxuries. Śani being the karaka of vices,
uncleanliness, misery, diseases and losses, influences the sign and it through
one or more of these significations.
Śani placed in Vṛṣabha corrupts Śukra and
the sign. Śukra is the karaka for a relationship, and Pure Graha’s influence,
such as Jupiter, indicates purity in the relationship. Śani, on the other hand,
indicates uncleanliness and impurity in relationship matters. Hence such
natives are prone to be non-committal in matters of relationships. They have
multiple relationships, wives, or go after many women or women of questionable
characters. This, however, can’t be said if Śukra and 7L are strong and
influenced by benefics. Śani is the karaka for old age, maturity and ancient
tradition, and it can incline one towards matured women.
While analyzing a matter in someone’s life,
one should not infer based only on one factor. However, consider 1) strength
and association of the karaka 2) Grahas placed in the karaka’s sign 3) Grahas
placed in the Bhava under consideration, 4) Strength and placement of Bhavesha–
here the sign and bhava of the bhava lord need to be considered.
If Śani happens to be the 7L and placed in Vṛṣabha,
it increases the chances of going to prostitutes. This becomes even stronger if
Śukra is conjoined Mars and is in either 6th or aspecting the 6H. Likewise, if Śani
is in the 7H in Vṛṣabha for Scorpio Lagna, this can indicate such indications.
The crucial thing to keep in mind is that
the Grahas-Rasi Phala needs to be judged from a bhava standpoint. Without
considering the Lagna of the native and the bhava being influenced by this
combination, it is impossible to conclude anything. Śani stays in a sign for
2.5 years; however, it will be idiotic to say that all born during this 2.5
years time-frame will all go to prostitutes.
Having said that, this does not discount
the importance of the Graha rasi phala. In some cases, it can become the
determining factor between multiple possibilities. Now the natural 2H is also
the house of food and feeding; what is the impact of Śani’s placement here? The
native becomes a voracious eater. Perhaps such people don’t distinguish between
nutritious or non-nutritious food. This can give inclination towards partaking
putrid, unhealthy, unclean, addictive food; that causes weaknesses and
diseases.
Being in the natural house of the treasury gives
ordinary wealth. Being the friend of the lord Śukra, it does not provide utter
poverty. If it has any connection with complexion matters, say by being in the Lagna
or being the Lagna lord placed in Vṛṣabha, the native is given a darker
complexion.
Śani is an expert liar or illusionist. Its
influence on the sign of speech indicates deceptive speech, lies and cleverness
in swindling others– thanks to Śukra’s blessings. Such people can be highly
persuasive, perhaps skills highly required in today’s world.
While Śani corrupts the excellent quality
of Śukra, Śukra supports Śani’s wrongdoing! What friendship! Such people are
submissive and like solitude (association with Lagna), more inclined to serve
others instead of using their enterprise to control their destiny. If Lagna/ Candra
is afflicted, Śani’s position can give a highly anxious nature and worries
about life necessities.
If Śani is in Vṛṣabha being the 3L or be in
the 3H or conjoined the 3L or aspecting the 3L/ 3H, it can indicate
submissiveness and servitude among the siblings. In general, such native can be
dull-witted, inclined towards questioning established norms etc. The Śani-Śukra
association indicate that they have the potential to become a Tapasvi. They can
practice self-restraint, Astanga yoga, physical exercises, healing activities
etc.
