Saturn Transit 2011
Everyone in astrology knows that Saturn is the single most powerful planet. He can make or mar a person. Once a king by the name ‘Nala’ lost his kingdom and was reduced to a cook because of the devastating influence of Saturn.
Saturn does not even spare Gods. It is said that during Saturn’s time Ganesha’s human head was cut off by Shiva. Shiva himself started to beg during Saturn’s period. Nevertheless, he appointed Saturn to do a certain job and that is to bring people to justice (Dharma) through intense hardship and suffering. Shiva Himself underwent the humiliation of a beggar just to teach a lesson to the human beings and also to demonstrate the power of Saturn.
Saturn is the slowest moving planet. It takes 30 years for him to complete one cycle of his revolution through the 12 zodiacs. He spends roughly about 2 ½ years in each sign.
Saturn’s transit is a major astrological event and it is keenly watched and analysed by astrologers all over the world. This year Saturn moves into Libra on 15th November 2011 and this event has special connotation for two important reasons.
- He moves to his exaltation sign and his best friend’s house (Athi Mithra). Therefore his power to do good / bad is that much enhanced.
- He will stay in Libra for 3 years until 2nd November 2014 which is more than 6 months longer than his usual stay of 2.5 years
- 12th,1st (Janma) and 2nd Houses constitute ‘Sade Sathi’ – Virgo, Libra & Scorpio
- 4th House – Ardaastama Shani /Daiyya – Cancer
- 5th House – Panchama Shani – Gemini
- 8th House – Astama Shani – Pisces

thank you sir, expect some more details, why saturn taking extra 6 month
I know people expect more and for details we require charts to give specific predictions. The Lord ship of Saturn, his avastha, placement, aspects etc. for each individual chart matters most and therefore my predictions are general in nature. That is the reason I have said that readers should consult their astrologers for further explanation.
Regarding Saturn’s stay of 3 years, it is the law of Physics and Astronomy. We never say that Saturn exactly stays for 2.5 years in any sign. He roughly takes 30 years to complete one cycle.If you can check back, Saturn stayed approx 2 years only in Cancer.
I would recommend reading of Avasthas like Manda and Athichara to understand better.
I hope you are practicing astrology in Coimbatore.

Sir, really very very informative.As per Saturns influence on 3rd, 7th,and 10th from its position can we analyze much more details with respect to each signs of the zodiac.
No. We do not consider aspects in transit even though some astrologers do. As a matter of fact aspects are taken into account only in Rashi Chart (D-1) and in no other Divisional charts including Navamsha (D-9).
Thanking you Sir for the clarification.
