The Houses Impacted by Saturn: Part One The Houses Impacted by Saturn Part One by Hank FriedmanNote: Like all of my other Vedic writings, this article could not have been written without my having the great blessing of studying Jyotish with my Vedic guru Hart deFouw.This article is based upon using Whole Sign Houses and the Sidereal Zodiac with the Lahiri Ayanamsha.Part One: The Aspects of SaturnIt is universally understood that each planet has a profound influence upon the themes of the house it occupies. Those practicing ancient astrological methods (Hellenistic or Vedic) also know that every planet aspects the opposite house, whether that house is occupied or not, and influences it just as strongly. (These ancient approaches also apply the principle that planets which aspect a house also aspect every planet in it, regardless of orb.)Vedic astrologers recognize that three planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, each have two additional 'special aspects', that carry the full weight of the planet's influence.Saturn's special aspects are on the third and tenth house from it (counting inclusively). In modern astrological terms, the forward sextile and the backwards square. In other words, Saturn's forward sextile and backwards square are as potent as Saturn occupying (or opposite to) a house, and much stronger than all of Saturn's other aspects.I.e. HouseOccupiedOppositeHouseForwardSextileBackwardSquareNote: to better understand the meanings of each of the houses in Vedic astrology, read my articles on the Vedic Houses, and.First House: Here Saturn aspects the 3rd and 10th houses, of achievement and effort, making the individual work harder for results and/or be challenged in marshaling their resources, throw roadblocks (internal and external) in the way of completing tasks, and indicating that they take their tasks very seriously.

I have seen many confused about Kumbha lagna. As Lagna lord rules both 1st and 12th house. Now assume Sat is in 10th house in its own Nak. And Ketu in 9th house. Is this position of malefics weak. Can Saturn as lagna lord harm the house it sits or aspects Or protects them. Does Ketu in 9th house creates bhagya dosh. If jupiter is exalted in the 6th house and fully aspecting both ketu and its 2nd house and saturn is in 12th but also in own sign, this will not give poverty but many riches to the person who might be a millionaire.

The person will often approach projects by themselves (i.e. Without others' support).
