A family living on the foothills of Himalayas in
India was apparently content and happy. The couple had a small boy, who
being their only son was being brought up with extreme caution and
sincerity. The mother was particularly very concerned
about safety and growth of her child as she had experienced some
traumatic events in her own life which led her to be quite obsessed
about situations surrounding her child. Being surrounded by dense
forests and various sorts of wild animals, parents always
made sure that their kid takes only safe routes, do not go beyond
certain heights and alike. While the father was busy in earning and
feeding the family,mother being solely responsible for bringing up her
kid and also immensely driven by her own fears in unconscious
ways, had put severe limitations on what the boy should do and what not
.Though the external beauty was immense ,the boy gradually build a
world of his own, accepting limitations imposed in most diligent ways.
His room had a corner where he used to feel himself
cozy lying with his old and faithful dog. He used to talk very less,
and even if he wanted to have some amount of it, he didn’t know how to
express himself. His mother who was now growing old was somewhere
satisfied as she thought she gave a protected environment
and brought up her child safe and strong amid such wild conditions, but
then the knots and clots in psyche of young boy were immense, he grew
up in illusion as to which world was real and why his world looks so
different to the world which his eyes could see,
but heart couldn’t felt.
That’s how Saturn in fourth house would look like
to begin with. Saturn the mighty force of nature when placed in angular
fourth house, makes personality very heavy, and when we say
heavy its all facets need to be understood thoroughly. Saturn here often gives
different environment during childhood. Either parent do not have
time, or they do not have that love in their hearts or else simply
because of some practical limitations, the gentle love and attention
do not reach the individual. Often childhood goes in learning
lesson of what to do and what not and these lessons can be literally
very strict and can be imposed in a religious way. Though the
manifestation of Saturn in fourth house can be huge and endless
as nature of Saturn itself, we will try to touch the essence along with
its deeper implications and message.
Fourth house describes how one feels, the inner
core of individual and what emotional state and response would be .It
describes the early part of life and overall feel and takeaway of an
individual from everything that he or she experiences.
Saturn placed here puts a veil on inner mind and heart is devoid of
light and joy. One finds it difficult to dance and feel the joy around,
and reasons could be many. Often it is said that family environment
lacks warmth leading to seriousness and cold nature
of individual, but this is not the only face. In some situations, the
love and nourishing might be present in abundance, and it might be lack
of interest in indulging which could cut off one from ‘normal’ world. In
yet another scenario, the harshness and ups-down
of life might bring the Vairaagya ,the detachment ,leading to
absolute indifference about joys and sorrows of life. Whatever are the
compelling reasons, often Saturn here gives another view of world and
one has strictly personal view about right and
wrong, whose roots will go deep down in values obtained consciously or
unconsciously during early years of life.
These individuals will speak less and analyze more.
They have their own ways of judging things and often their methods and
way of acting can be highly traditional or unique, essence is that it
will get noticed and will be different from
the usual. Practicality matters to them a lot because this is what they
have been told is important and to live rationally, is not a choice,
but the only path available. To understand that such persons won’t
become good parent themselves would be like committing
a big mistake. They can give wonderful discipline to their children and
set themselves as role models. But perhaps the main challenge here is
how these people deal with emotional needs of people around them, and
more importantly, to their own. They can suppress
what they feel to the extent that they might look or even become
heartless and insensitive. They would cry in the dark to hide their
softer sides as showing their vulnerability to outside world would break
them and shatter the idea about Self, which they had
built in ages.
Saturn has positive side too, which should not be
neglected. A strong and healthy Saturn here can make one thoroughly
hardworking and highly disciplined person. Such person have potential to
become a mass leader and irrespective of their
own experiences and personal life ,they can mesmerize the masses and
can be leader of people. Their most unique character is their ability to
perform their duties with detachment .They have very strong ideology of
their own and can become guiding light for
many. Saturn here is wonderful for pursuing higher Spiritual life as
these people will have inherent capability to understand Law of Karma
and when they accept the lessons given by Saturn graciously and practice
the essence of what they have learnt in their
life, they can attain state of perfect Karma Yogis.
