Shani (Saturn)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Shani (Saturn) governs time, structure and the discipline that comes from limitation. It rules Makara and Kumbha, is exalted in Tula at 20° and debilitated in Mesha at 20°. Its mahadasha runs nineteen years. Shani's transit relative to the natal Moon is what sade sati measures — a roughly seven-and-a-half year period.
Karaka: Ayushkaraka — time, structure, discipline, and limitation. Nature: Malefic. Mahadasha: 19 years.
