Shani (Saturn)
Saturn is the slowest moving graha, and represents the more time related aspects in
life: endurance, sense responsibility, hard work, longevity and reclusion. It is typically
described as the bringer of grief and misery in life, but if it is auspiciously placed
in a chart it will be one's best insurance against poverty.
Saturn is best placed in Tula (Libra) where is called exalted. Opposite from there,
in Mesha (Aries) it is least auspicious and called debilitated.
Saturn is lord of the sign Makara(Capricorn) and Kumbha(Aquarius) also of the houses
where these signs are located.
