Saturn or “Shani” as per Vedic Astrology represents discipline, law & order and maturity. The meaning of Shani means-slow moving which indicates that Saturn needs a longer time for completing a task. The slow transit of the planet offers two vital periods-The Sadhe Sati and the Dhaiya. All people go through Sadhe Sati and Dhaiya many times in their lives. Sadhe Sati lasts for seven and half years while Dhaiya lasts for two and half years.
Saturn is the most feared planet as it can bring hardships to the native and is considered a malefic planet in Astrology. But if it is favourably placed it can bring great wealth and fame to the native. Saturn's influence in a person’s natal chart is not always associated with the deprivation of material things and success, but it can cause a delay in success. It is important to note that Saturn is considered as a teacher who will punish the native for bad karma and reward the good deeds. It also bestows longevity and brings justice. A native with Shani or Saturn influence will have to work hard to earn the rewards.

How to Know if Saturn is Benefic or Malefic?
Saturn's position and aspects in one's astrological birth chart determines whether it will act as a benefic or malefic planet for the individual. Here are some key factors to analyze Saturn's nature:
- Saturn is considered strongly benefic, if it is placed in its own signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Its positive influence is heightened in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses.
- Saturn placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th and 8th houses is often (but not always) deemed malefic as it can bring obstacles in the areas of life that are associated with these houses.
- If Saturn is retrograde in a birth chart, its malefic effects are enhanced. On the other hand, an exalted Saturn grants more positive results.
- Saturn's conjunction, aspect or association with benefic planets like Venus, Jupiter or Mercury reduces its maleficence and confers good results during its periods.
- Saturn in debilitation or giving an evil aspect to the Ascendant, Sun or Moon becomes highly malefic. This can cause severe setbacks during its ‘dasha’.
- If Saturn is placed alone in a ‘Trikona’ house or forms ‘Sasa Yoga’ in a ‘Kendra’ house, it is a powerful malefic indicator requiring remedial measures.
- Analyze the Nakshatra dispositor of Saturn. If it is a naturally benefic planet, Saturn will display more positivity.
Overall, Saturn's house placement, aspects, associations and the nature of the dispositor determine if it will bestow favorable or negative results in a horoscope.
