How it is formed
Saturn and Rahu together in one house.
Typical results
Traditionally it is linked with delays and a sense of carrying old karma. The intensity changes with the signs, aspects and the dasha running.
Planets involved
- Saturn (Shani) - discipline and hard work, delays and patience and labour and servants; mahadasha of 19 years.
- Rahu (Rahu) - ambition and obsession, foreign lands and technology and media; mahadasha of 18 years.
What must be checked
Before any conclusion, look at the house and sign of the conjunction. The label alone says little about how a dosha actually works in a chart.
What helps
- Avoid starting major ventures in the most sensitive sub-period
- Keep effort and practical steps going - astrology shows timing, effort delivers results
- Discuss the result with family calmly; fear helps no one
- Strengthen the Lagna lord - a strong Lagna protects the whole chart
Remedy for the main planet
- Chant Om Shanaischaraya Namah 108 times on Saturday.
- Give charity linked to Saturn on Saturday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Blue Sapphire (Neelam) - only if Saturn is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: work hard, help labourers and the elderly, be punctual.
