Saturn & Its Significance
In our solar system, Saturn is the slowest moving planet which takes 2 ½ years to transit from one sign to the other. According to Vedic astrology, it governs the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn is known as the task master. The general signification of Saturn is hard work and spiritualism. He has the vital portfolio in a person’s life in deciding over longevity or lifespan. Saturn is the experience giver based on the individual’s previous life Karma balance. Saturn symbolizes discipline, responsibility, and the lessons and challenges needed for growth and maturity, career, authority, and long-term achievements, and the obstacles and hurdles encountered in life.
Have you ever heard of Retrograde motion in astrology? It might sound like a planet is moving backward in its orbit, but actually, it’s just an illusion caused by the way the planet and Earth move around the Sun. However, in Vedic Astrology, Retrograde planets, also known as Vakri Graha, are believed to have a big impact. They are considered very powerful and can help resolve issues. So, even though Retrograde motion might not be a natural physical phenomenon, it still holds a lot of significance in specific belief systems.
Retrograde planets can offer us an opportunity to rectify our errors or completely forgotten duties. However, if we fail to recognize our mistakes, these planets can exacerbate the problems caused by them. Retrograde planets can also bring us benefits results that we may have missed out on previously, based on our past actions, whether good or bad.
