Purpose of life and Vedic astrology - Part 1

The most fundamental, deepest and subtlest aspect that can be explored through use of Vedic astrology or Jyotisha is finding what Samskaras(tendencies/impressions) an individual is carrying from past lives and what he/she needs to focus upon in current life in major way. Often when we talk about the purpose of life, general perception quickly assumes it’s about work life, the best career or business that is suitable. This is extremely gross and even wrong perception. The purpose of life though really cannot be judged and summarized in one line, still when seen in bigger context, it means what a person needs to focus upon majorly in current life. Through journey in this cosmos, a Soul experiences many events, life times and acquires many impressions, which when judged on some parameters can be said as bad or good ,but in reality apart from domain of good and bad, it’s all about evolution of a person by varied range of experiences .Vedic astrology is one the subtlest tool that can be effectively used to analyze the areas/aspects where a person needs to be focused ,or in other way of stating it, areas where person’s attention will be pulled by challenging/sudden events which can be repetitive in nature.

Saturn in itself is considered to be most intriguing planet and when it gets placed in twelfth house of birth chart, it is quite certain that implications are far reaching and needs very careful approach. To begin with, it’s important to know what twelfth house really is. Speaking in broader sense, twelfth house calls for a big shift. Its change from material to non-material. In terms of physics analogy, it can resemble black hole, an area where things disappear or are lost. Its call to human to look beyond desires (after thorough and repeated experiences), and come out of unconscious living, what typically is called getting out of the wheel of Samsaara, the escape from cycle of mundane existence. Saturn here can be very influencing .Let’s see its manifestations in various forms.

Saturn in eleventh house

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest, said the Confucius. Saturn in eleventh house of birth chart indicates a Soul who has come to experience to accumulate the knowledge via latter paths. Saturn is the most influencing planet when it comes to evolution of an individual.

Saturn in tenth house

Tenth house of chart is one of the most critical sector which defines individual’s interaction and exchange of energies which comes under the definition of Karma (at the level of intention too). Career is linked to this house but in deeper sense this house actually tells how well person is able to formulate thoughts and finer feelings within or inspiration from outside into actions. Extremely subtle forces which directs, compel or motivate individual to take action comes from this area. In more refined sense, this house shows the mission of Soul, the feeling of responsibility that comes from deep within, as a call from unknown. Saturn has been accepted as Lord of Karma, as in force of nature which keeps record of one’s Karmic graph. So when it comes to planet Saturn, the natural significator of Karma and tenth house the original place signifying all sorts of actions, there has to be something extremely important which gets highlighted from chart of individual. From subtle to concrete, from the level of subconscious to the realm of consciousness ,lets discuss what it means when one is born with Saturn in tenth house of birth chart.

Saturn in ninth house

Saturn, the lord of Karmic justice being placed in ninth house at the time of birth of individual can imply varied meanings. Ninth house is the area of chart from where we see the level of blessings in life, life force inside individual, level of awareness and possibilities of evolution. In more refined sense this house also tells us what can be the approach of a person in pursuit of material and non-material as well. Saturn placed here can become one of the important placement and can define the major orientation and unconsciously individual can get driven by purpose of Saturn. Let’s see in details what can be the implications when mighty Saturn gets situated in ninth house of birth chart.

Saturn in eighth house

Saturn is the planet of storage of Karma and needless to say, is the fiercest of all as it acts cold owing to its duty to deliver justice. Nature of Saturn in general is deemed as greatest malefic, but in real sense, its not. When it gives malefic results, its source is person himself as Saturn is agent only. Now to be born under Saturn in eighth house placed in birth chart is no event of less significance. First of all Saturn, the planet symbolizing bundle of Karma and secondly eighth house, the most enigmatic and intense of all, so this combination can never be without any deeper significance. Individuals who are born with Saturn in eighth house are born to experience intense experiences in life which has got precise purpose, either to punish intensely for the accumulated Karma or to rise beyond bondage of mundane life. Let’s explore what Saturn would imply here.

Saturn in seventh house

Saturn in seventh house at the time of birth can be one of the most restrictive or even most liberating configuration. Placement of Saturn in seventh house is very clear indicator for some strong lessons that need to be learned, it clearly shows that your present life will have enormous experiences where you will be required to come out of your comfort zone and adjust attitude to coexist. Seventh house is our indulgence apart from our self, with society, how we express our energies, how our interaction is with people around us. If first house defines who we are then seventh house indicates perhaps a mirror, the mirror of relationships through which we try to find ourselves by searching for our reflection in behavioral pattern of those connected to us. 

Saturn in sixth house

Out of all houses placement of Saturn is said to give best results in sixth house. This seems to be quite intriguing on the face reason being the challenging nature of this house and testing and contractive nature of Saturn itself. The results are indeed not straight forward as they are generally pronounced (and even exaggerated many times).Though placement of Saturn in any house needs careful attention and detailed study but when this Mighty Spiritualizing agent is placed in sixth house of chart at time of birth, then especially one will need extremely sharp distinction about what is possible, where limitation lies, potential challenges and scope and direction of achievements.
