Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle
Let’s cover this article under following points -
Saturn - Saturn is all that which we don't like in our life. Saturn is Delay, Frustration, Restriction, Limitation and Anxiety. It is Delay, Perseverance, Hard-work and Labour. It is people of Authority, like Boss at your work place or Father at home. Saturn is our challenges and biggest lessons of life. Saturn is Old-age, Teeth/Bones in human body, Diseases, Transformation etc. Saturn is Discipline, Organisation, Structure, Government, Law & Order etc.
Dara Karaka - It is planet with the 7th highest degree. It is known as Dara Karaka or Significator of Spouse. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards your Spouse and relation with your Spouse.
Results of Saturn as Dara Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Saturn becomes someone’s Dara Karaka -
1.Saturn is a planet of duty and responsibility in life. It is a planet which gives results only after delay, hard work and perseverance. Saturn is more a work oriented planet rather than relationship oriented planet. To gain any result of the house where Saturn impacts, we have to work for a very long time. Only good thing with Saturn is that when it starts giving result then those results also stay with us for a long time.
2.Here, we need to understand that Saturn is not a relationship oriented planet. Hence, it cannot help us in any relation. When Saturn impacts any relation in your life, you have to continuously work on that relationship tirelessly and then only you can expect some results coming your way. It is always “work in progress” with Saturn.
3.So, when someone has Saturn as Dara Karaka, it shows that relationship life can be very cold, dry or without much of love/affection. At least in initial life, the person may feel like this. Person may go through painful break-ups and separations in relationship life.
4.As Saturn is planet of maturity, duty and responsibility, their relationship can improve when they start behaving in a more mature and responsible ways in matters of relationship. They have to look at responsibility part of relationship and follow it maturely then only their relationship can function well in life.
5.It can be lifelong effort in matters of relationship and then only things can be better else relationship can be very difficult for them if they keep childish or immature approach in life.
6.As Darakaraka also represents other things related with 7th house too like Business etc, person may have to put equal hard work and perseverance in business matters. They can’t expect quick results in matters of business also, So, when they start business, they must have a long term plan and should be ready to put long durational efforts.
7.Again, only good thing with Saturn is that when it starts giving result then those results also stay with us for a long time. So, when their business gets settled then it is a life long benefit.
8.They may not be very popular among masses, especially in early life.
9.Now, whichever house Saturn rules in your chart through Capricorn and Aquarius signs, those houses would also indicate possible areas from where Dara Karaka results can come. It also shows that who all will be important to the native in finding these results.
10.Then in whichever house/sign Saturn sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life Dara Karaka results will be manifested. Like, for Gemini ascendant, if Saturn is in 8th house/Capricorn then it shows lots of instabilities in relationship life which may impact the person over a long period of time. But for Taurus ascendant person, if Saturn is placed in 10th house/Aquarius then it shows a more work and duty oriented relationship.
11.If any planet is conjunct with Saturn then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can bring authority to person.
Dignity - With Saturn, dignity doesn’t matter. Saturn in any sign represents delays, hard work and perseverance. It brings results with delay only, regardless of the fact that Saturn is exalted or debilitated. .
Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Saturn’s position.
Hope this helps. Thanks,
