Saturn is the most
extraordinary planet in the entire solar system ,both in terms of its physical
appearance and more importantly in its esoteric significance .Placement of
Saturn in chart is of perhaps utmost significance as it shows how Karmic
patterns are going to unfold themselves as this mighty planet contains all the
past memories and Karma of an individual. Placement of Saturn in first house is
not a simple phenomenona,rather it shows an extremely intriguing individual and
it needs thorough explanation and deep pondering as to why one is born with
Saturn here.
Saturn
when placed in ascendant (first house) at time of birth of individual means
resistance in coming to this physical world as one is preloaded with huge
amount of Karmic debts, though its good to be reminded right here that sign in
which Saturn is placed will alter the meanings to great extent. So its good to
reiterate that these effects are generic in nature. Saturn here shows that one
is born with lot of hesitation within and there is tons of baggage of past
Karmas that will need to be lived through in present life time, at least in
initial first half. The early years of life are extremely introspective. This
might possibly be achieved in many ways, like for example one might be born in
a family where environment is not very conducive for healthy growth of
personality. Saturn gives a feeling of deeply bonded and restricted as one
start to gain consciousness growing as a child. Either parents do not bother
much or else their love actually does not cross the inner boundaries of child.
One feels isolated despite everything and everyone around, this give birth to
extremely silent and hidden self-introspection. These individuals will appear
very calm and deeply involved in their own worlds ,lost in finding meaning as
to why they have been put in such family ,and its worth repeating that state of
family is not an issue here, rather how
one perceives it, is. Growth is slow, and sometimes it feels so slow that
one tends to believe that life is at stand still. Though volumes can be written
about Saturn and its impact in one’s chart, in concise its good to ponder over
two major aspects; what Saturn gives here(and why) and how it impacts the
personality along with its deeper implications.
The individuals born
with Saturn in first house go through lot of internal suffering and the degree
and extent depends upon the state of Saturn .If Saturn lies in bad shape, then
growth rate is slow and self-image is generally disturbed. Placement of Saturn
indicates that one’s life blossoms fully in second half of life as in initial
years this mighty Spiritual giant makes one indulge in various sorts of
self-exhausting experiences. These people analyse silently ,they observe more
than they speak .If Saturn is in good state ,like in Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius
then physical health might not be any trouble maker.Some deep addictive
tendencies, or rather self-destructive tendencies often become part of
personality. Individual can also feel like restricted due to some physical ailment,
and in essence limitations are felt
irrespective of physical issues present or not. When Saturn is powerful in
chart, then in such cases this placement can give a detached view of life with
ascetic like living and state of Saturn will decide how this characteristic
develops. A healthy and powerful Saturn with good Moon and Jupiter in one’s
chart will give mature mind-set and ability to analyse and reach on perfect
conclusions, with assimilating all events and knowledge around one and gradually realizing the vagueness in
material pursuits only. While a weak and afflicted Saturn might give a
dejected outlook where world is cruel and people are unjust , hence this world
is not fit for me syndrome might creep in. Most of the usual life events like settlement,
education and career are relatively late, when compared to rigid social
reference point, which can also lead to serious level of self-criticism and in
some cases, even repeated depressive mourning.
Discussion on Saturn
can never be complete without going into
why part. Saturn does each bit with a
deep purpose, so in larger reality all of its attributes and Dukha caused by it is for something
greater, something more grand and
liberating. The delay part of Saturn comes to make one more patient. Patience
is Saturn’s most beloved characteristic, which it teaches in hard way, mainly
because we all are in race and no one really likes to sit and wait and see
larger picture, but if Saturn wants you to learn this virtue, then there is no
way out. The restrictions and limitations that are felt are primarily
indication of the fact that this physical existence alone cannot give you joy,
rather you need to look for something
more eternal and boundless, which is none other than Divine itself. Saturn
is interested in giving you results of your Karma, hence loneliness within and
hardships around are coming from your own Karmic debts and Saturn is simply the
judge sitting in your chart announcing the judgments without any partiality
.Saturn here in ascendant when understood and appreciated can result in most
stunning personalities who can sense the pain of others, serve humanity in a
grand way as they learn intensively through their own life experiences. The
impartial nature and maturity of such individuals can be beyond comprehension of
normal human intellect and in longer run they can emerge as masters in
understanding Law of Karma under the guidance of a perfect Yogi, the Saturn.
