Saturn in Virgo

Saturn in the sign of Virgo

Here Saturn is in a sign friendly to it and points to this person's high qualification in performing his work, to administrative abilities, to occupation with activity connected with the means of communication, to a love of social life. The classical texts note such qualities as «foresight, diligence, moroseness, fault-finding, a conservative character with a love of the mysterious». Outwardly they are usually handsome; the hair is fine, the veins distinctly visible. They may be occupied, but not productively, with work in the field of art. (Tom Hopke)

Saturn in Virgo: tall, with dark thick hair, reserved, far-sighted, conservative, with obsequious manners, subject to melancholy. Ignorant and unprincipled. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)

People with Saturn in Virgo are very organised, just, meticulous, punctual people who live by a schedule. They possess a subtle analytical mind. They have an innate ability to manage people and to create a business. High demands towards their subordinates. They want the work to be done perfectly. These are people who know how to devise the most effective methods of solving problems. They are good analysts, researchers and strategists. They may check and re-check the same work several times in order to be sure that they have made no mistakes. Not only in work but in other spheres of life too they need everything to be perfect, clean and in order. Such a person strives all the time to occupy himself with something, since boredom and inactivity cause him depression. For the sake of attaining success they are ready to sacrifice much. The person is very busy with work and has no time to enjoy life. He needs to learn to concentrate on the main thing without emphasising trifles.

The best example for understanding Saturn in Virgo is probably Vladimir Putin. Look how busy he is!… A happy family life is rare. They are very concerned about their health and want to lead a correct way of life. They may develop diseases of the abdominal cavity. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

Results of the placement of Shani (Saturn) in the rashi Kanya (the sign of Virgo)

If Shani is in Kanya, then the person will not obtain success in his affairs; he will be devoid of courtesy, will form temporary friendships, and will be pure and strong. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.78)

Commentary: A person with this combination in the birth chart will be successful in education, though he will receive his education after the age of youth. Such a person is exceptionally serious, patient and able to do something for a long time, thanks to which he will successfully carry out research work or seriously study some subject. Usually there are problems with the digestive system. This problem can be predicted with confidence if there is an influence of malefic Grahas [planets] upon Buddha [Mercury] and the 6th Bhava [house], or if Shani [Saturn] is in conjunction with Rahu in the 6th Bhava [house].

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)
