Saturn in Scorpio

Saturn in the sign of Scorpio

Saturn in Scorpio: This sign is hostile to Saturn, which is expressed in a rash, impulsive character, sarcastic speech, an interest in the occult and connections with unclean people or with immoral activity. In character such people may be active, aggressive, inclined to competition; they may suffer from a fine, from imprisonment, or be hospitalised. Their life is full of excitement. At times they may be dependent on others and have anxieties connected with fire or weapons. (Tom Hopke)

Saturn in Scorpio: courageous, cantankerous, constantly contradicts the rest, seeks adventures, is inclined to violent and dangerous actions. Chronic diseases. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)

The sign of Scorpio is a bad placement for Saturn. For the sake of attaining their goal such people may take crafty, treacherous, merciless steps. If they are offended, they may carry the offence within themselves for a long time and take revenge at a suitable moment. Although they have a calculating mind, mysterious secret knowledge comes to them. These people have to pass through hard trials; they may fall to the very bottom and be reborn again. Whatever the difficulties, they have the necessary strength of will to rise. When Saturn is in Scorpio, various disorders of sexual behaviour often arise in people. They live with complexes and fears. They are afraid of being abandoned. Saturn is a dark planet, and in the dark sign of Scorpio it receives invisible knowledge of how to move along dark roads to its destination. Some people use this knowledge for black magic.

For example, Grigory Rasputin was born when Saturn was in Scorpio. It is considered that he possessed secret knowledge and practised black magic. The famous Polish psychic Wolf Messing was also born when Saturn was in Scorpio. He had to leave his homeland because of persecution and display his talent in a foreign country. He died a couple of days after an operation on his iliac artery. This artery is in the region of the pelvis, which Scorpio represents. People with such a Saturn need to learn to let go of the burden, the tension and the malice that they keep within themselves. Otherwise they may develop urolithiasis and haemorrhoids. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

Results of the placement of Shani (Saturn) in the rashi Vrishchika (the sign of Scorpio)

If Shani is placed in Vrishchika, then the person will be in danger from poison, fire and weapons, he will destroy his wealth, will be oppressed by an enemy and by illness, will be troubled and will not receive the desired happiness from his son. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.80)

Commentary: It is considered that Shani [Saturn], being in the Rashi Vrishchika [the sign Scorpio], will give abilities and skills in mechanics. However, even with difficulties in work the person will overcome them and in the end will prosper. But it is necessary for Mangala [Mars] to be strong. It is also possible that in such a person's character the influence of the instincts will be relatively great. This placement is favourable for education in the field of geology, archaeology and geography..

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)
