Saturn the tester of one’s patience is going to turn retrograde on 07-Feb-2012 till 25-Jun-2012. During this course of retro gradation he is also changing his sign (Rasi) from Libra (Tula) to Virgo (Kanya). People born in Leo (Simha) are somewhat relaxed with his departure from Virgo till now but once again they are going to taste the test of Saturn. There are voluminous data about Saturn transit as per Vedic Astrology available in internet and other sources. But very less data is available about the interpretation through KP. The star on which the retro-Saturn moves throws the clue for the analysis and the transit effect must be read with respect to the Ascendant (Lagna) rather than the Moon sign as followed by Vedic Astrologers. Of course I have to confess that we should also take the position of all other planets to give a complete picture of Saturn and his transit but that needs complete birth details. To give a gross reading Ascendant is enough, I suppose.
Saturn will turn retrograde on Chitha Star in his entire retro period. The rule for interpretation is as follows:
“Transiting planet is the source star denotes the nature of result. A planet gives the result of the star lord through the source indicated by it through occupation and lordship.”
Please note that in this article I will take only lordships of the planet (Saturn) and the star lord (Mars). Let us have a look at the effect of retrograde Saturn on different zodiac signs:
For Aries Asc. Saturn is lord of 10-11 and he is transiting in the star of Mars (Kuja) lord of 1-8 houses. This may lead to pressure in work, sudden assignments, and difference of opinions with superiors, rumors in work place, sexual dissatisfaction with spouse, and temporary separation with spouse because of quarrels on petty issues. On the positive side they can expect sudden monetary gains, legacy, intimacy with opposite sex, and gains in partnership business, receipt of arrears or claims gratuity etc.
For Taurus Asc. Saturn is lord of 9-10 and Mars is lord of 7-12. Therefore we can expect 7-12 house results through 9-10 house matters. The possible outcomes are change in nature of work or department, transfer or deputation to a far off place, forced inter-departmental changes, clashes with superiors, sudden expenditure, long journeys, jolly trips, monetary benefits to parents, ill health to partner and sudden hospitalization, success to children in educational pursuits after much anxiety.
