Vedic Astrology – Saturn Transit 2014
by Abhijita Kulshrestha
On November 1, 2014, Saturn, the huge karmic planet, rolls over into the sign of Scorpio. This slow-moving planet stays in one sign of the zodiac for two and half years. Consequently, it brings a long, good spell for some and a prolonged period of agony for others (depending on how its movements affects a particular sign).
Saturn is much dreaded in Vedic Astrology and the onslaught of its period can hugely impact an individual. Lots of people are crushed by the impact of difficulties and fear. As a consequence, they find themselves in the grip of mental disorders, physical setbacks, disease-ridden, struggling in relationships, and struggling financially, too.
Subsequently, a poverty of spirit and bitterness sets in. There are another set of people though; those who undergo the same challenges, but in the process are almost reborn. They know how much of their own limits they pushed, what they are made of, and in that they accepted living life on life’s terms without ruing their fate or staying stuck in the vortex of questions.
So what is it that the second set have which helps them navigate successfully? After all, the assault of karmic phases is of similar intensity and along same lines. A subtle understanding of Saturn as an energy can help one go a long way in understanding this phase and taking the right approach in dealing with it. Saturn, or Shanti Dev as he is known in Vedic Astrology, is the grandmaster of karmic retribution. He helps balance the books of karma for every individual without any bias. They very fact that one is born, is indicative of the fact that some lessons remain unlearnt from past lives and those will be set in motion by Saturn.
