SaturnŚani

In Vedic astrology, Saturn is called Shani -- the planet of time, discipline, and limitation. In plain terms, it marks the place in your life where you get ground down the longest. Saturn moves slowly, spending about two and a half years in each sign, so its lessons never come fast: the patience you owe and the fundamentals you skipped will all be collected, without exception. But it is also the fairest planet in the chart -- every hour you endure under its watch becomes skill that no one can take from you. Reading your Saturn means seeing where you will struggle, and where you will become irreplaceable.
