Saturn in Aquarius
Saturn in the sign of Aquarius
Saturn in Aquarius: Here Saturn is in its own sign and points to a good understanding of things connected with philosophy and mysticism. These are somewhat unusual, eccentric people. They are susceptible to the influence of wine and women; they are occupied in various kinds of work. A good length of life, creative abilities, generosity and friendliness are to be expected. (Tom Hopke)
Saturn in Aquarius: an inclination to stoutness, courteous manners, friendliness, sharp speech, self-satisfaction, a weakness for women and alcohol, a happy life. Holds forth a great deal about religion and philosophy. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)
Saturn in Aquarius is a very good placement. When Saturn is in Capricorn the person wants to realise himself, and when Saturn is in Aquarius he cares more about others. Such people have a high level of intellect, a subtle mind and a kind soul. They worry about others and try to soothe their pain and suffering. It happens that these people meet with problems and get into awkward situations when they come to the aid of others. Being in exile for 40 years, Karl Marx, sacrificing his family, wrote 'Capital'. He considered that he would be able to save the oppressed people from the exploiters by creating his teaching on surplus value. He was born when Saturn was in Aquarius. The founder of existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre, also had Saturn in Aquarius. He was known as a fighter for human rights. He was the first person to refuse to accept the Nobel Prize. He said that he did not want to exert pressure on his readers, who would take him for an honoured man after such awards.
Such a placement of Saturn also gives material well-being. People earn money in the most honest way possible. They are ready to share their property. They are very honest in love, and a noble family is formed for them. The person is cultured and calm. They are surrounded by faithful, kind friends (Marx had Engels, Sartre had his companion Beauvoir). With age life becomes more prosperous. A calm old age and an easy death. Even after death they remain in people's memory. They find a complex scientific approach to simple situations in life. Sometimes others cannot understand them, and therefore in communication they need to come down to the level of ordinary people. The largest charitable foundation in the world is considered to be the «Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation», headed by Melinda Gates. In her natal chart Saturn is in Aquarius. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)
Results of the placement of Shani (Saturn) in the rashi Kumbha (the sign of Aquarius)
If Shani is placed in Kumbha, then the person will be conquered by his enemies, subject to harmful inclinations; he is not interested in fulfilling his duty and obligations; he will have friends. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.83)
Commentary: It seems that the author did not appreciate this placement of Shani [Saturn] at its true worth. A person with this placement in the birth chart possesses an exceedingly humanistic outlook, behaves sympathetically towards other people, and has a sensitive character. Thoughts about welfare occupy an important position in his mind. It has been observed that he will attain success in any field thanks to a unique method of work. There is not a single goal that he will not accomplish. His thoughts about his field of action are exceedingly serious, very clear, useful and deep.
The degree to which the results mentioned above manifest: If all three — 1) the Rashi [sign], 2) the ruler of the Rashi [sign] and 3) the Graha [planet] — are endowed with strength, then the full result will be obtained. The lesser or greater degree of the results can be learned by studying the position of the ruler of the Rashi: whether it is in debilitation, in exaltation, in its own Rashi, whether it is combust and so on. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.85)
