In this article, you will learn about the effects of Saturn Mahadasha on the Gemini ascendant. I have listed the effects according to the house in which the mahadasha lord is sitting.
Each house concludes with a mention of its remedies.
First House
The Gemini sign governs this house, and the Mahadasha Lord Saturn here performs very well and gives benefits in its mahadasha.
Due to the conducive environment for Saturn, this period brings positive qualities to natives.
Making them dynamic and ambitious, with a rise in aura and charisma.
Communication abilities become enhanced and the natives get the work done effortlessly. The conviction power of the natives allows them to receive favors from seniors and colleagues.
Due to the aspect over the 3rd and 10th houses, fast growth in the professional sphere can happen. Also, the natives will be making efforts in the right direction and will always be present in the right place at the right time.
A special focus goes on gaining knowledge, and this mahadasha can prove very beneficial for academics and literature.
Due to its rulership over the 9th house, Saturn is a benefic planet, and if Mercury or Venus are also placed there, then a Rajyoga will form, and Saturn mahadasha will give more beneficial results.
In such a scenario, they can think of pursuing politics and administrative work.
In the personal sphere, the direct aspect of Saturn over the 7th house will create opportunities for marriage. Provided Jupiter is well-placed and not under severe affliction, it will happen in the beginning phase of Saturn mahadasha.
There will be a sense of responsibility towards the life partner, which the native will fulfill effectively. Mutual trust and respect will increase, and this period can provide an opportunity to resolve existing issues in their marriage.
But the union of Mars, Ketu, or Rahu can lead to troubles in all kinds of relationships, native behavior will be the reason for these issues.
Particularly, Mars placement with Mahadasha Lord Saturn can make the native emotionless, whereas its placement in the 7th house (manglik yoga) can lead to the bad behavior of the spouse towards the native.
For happiness and prosperity on the domestic front, mahadasha lord Saturn should ideally be sitting alone, or for better results, should be with Venus or Mercury.
The first house in Vedic astrology has a huge say in health, and the mahadasha of Saturn in this house demands attention to both physical and mental health. Usually, there is improvement in this area because Saturn brings awareness and dedication to make things better.
Under the auspicious influence of Venus or Mercury, they peak in their physical fitness, and Saturn mahadasha gives them the ability to recover from an existing illness.
They will witness a positive transformation in their physical and mental health. Their interest in spirituality and religion will increase more and more.
But if Ketu, or Mars, is making a union with Saturn, then the native may develop issues related to joints and blood.
For beneficial effects on health, its association with Venus or Mercury is desirable; the rest of the planets may bring some complexity.
Remedies: Since the mahadasha lord is a natural malefic, it is necessary that the native make his ascendant lord Mercury strong via a Jyotish-quality green emerald in the right hand smallest finger.
Second House
The cancer sign rises, and the Mahadasha lord doesn't perform well. Rather, it can cause severe affliction on the Cancer sign, which is a very important sign because of its control over the mind, mental health, and domestic peace.
Also, the 2nd house is related to food intake, health, income, and family members, which means this Mahadasha of Saturn can disturb these significations.
Plus, its aspect over the 4th house can really affect domestic peace and the environment. There can be sudden events in the family that are negative in nature. Events may lead to marital crises or negatively impact the spouse's health.
If the following conditions exist in the horoscope, the situation can turn worse:
- Association of Ketu, Mars, or Saturn, especially their union with the Mahadasha Lord Saturn.
- If the moon resides in the 8th house.
- If the ascendant lord Mercury occupies the 6th, 7th, or 8th house.
If any of these placements are present in the natal horoscope, then the native may face a lack of mental peace, health issues, separation or divorce, and inheritance-related matters that can take on an ugly shape.
They may face unwanted relocation due to a workplace transfer, which will keep them far from loved ones.
This period can cause a decline in the income and savings of the natives. Expenditures can arise, and it will take a few years of Saturn Mahadasha for things to become stable.
Under the auspicious influence of Venus over the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 11th houses, sudden gains and success in inheritance-related matters can occur. Additionally, the native is likely to receive favorable treatment from their in-laws and may even feel a stronger bond with them than with their own parents.
Some situations can arise where they may drift apart from their birth family and find respect and love from their in-laws.
This period is good for bringing about a transformation in life, but how easy or tough, it will be depends on the influence of the planet Saturn. During this period, the association of Saturn and malefics can lead to addictions, and natives struggling with drinking or smoking will find it very hard to manage their cravings.
If Rahu and Mars are placed with Saturn, then drugs or alcohol can cause major illnesses.
Remedies: The native should chant 'Om Namah Shivaya' daily, and keeping fasts on 21 consecutive Saturdays is also advisable.
Third House
Here, the natural effects of Saturn Mahadasha are auspicious. Due to the Leo sign here, some obstacles are faced in the beginning. The native takes time to understand the purpose and situation. Once they find their rhythm, they become unstoppable. If Saturn is under the influence of Venus, Mercury, or even Mars, these mental obstacles don't last long.
They also experience extreme support from luck in all areas of life. New opportunities to travel can arise, and this exposure becomes beneficial for their growth. A new opportunity or project can take them overseas. Under the influence of Venus and Mercury, Saturn Mahadasha also promotes business, creativity, sports, or even a career in politics.
Activities such as writing, traveling, yoga, and meditation appeal to them, bringing important changes and developments and allowing them to make beneficial decisions. It also improves their relationships and brings stability to their health.
Saturn Mahadasha affects their social life because they tend to shrink their circle and don't engage with people much. Instead, they focus more on networking for new opportunities, which brings positive results in their career sphere.
Starting a business with a partner in the middle of the Saturn Mahadasha, especially during the antardasha of Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, is very promising in this regard. The relationship with the father can turn sour, particularly when the sun is weak or afflicted in the natal horoscope.
Matters related to love can face delays, and if Mars or Ketu afflict the 5th house, there can be a painful breakup in Saturn Mahadasha. Childbirth can also be delayed under similar conditions in the natal horoscope. They may also face issues with children who may act rebellious and tough, causing disharmony in the household.
In terms of health, they develop a positive mindset towards health-related matters. There will be interest in physical exercises, yoga, meditation, and stamina building. If Mars or Sun are placed with the Mahadasha lord, they may engage in bodybuilding. Mental health improves, and due to increased mental strength, focus, and courage, they can overcome barriers in the mind that were hindering their growth.
Remedies: They should worship the lord of the 3rd house, which is the planet Sun. Various remedies can be performed to appease planet Sun.
Fourth House
The ascendant lord Gemini rules the Virgo sign, which rises here. Saturn does well in the sign ruled by Mercury.
However, Virgo is both a dual and an earth sign. Mahadasha Lord Saturn doesn't work quickly in it; results take time, and often natives engage in deep thinking and excessive contemplation.
If Moon is weak or afflicted, then a tendency to overthink and fear will arise. This may cause delays in taking important actions and vital steps on time.
The direct aspect of the mahadasha lord over the 10th house of career can bring initial jolts to a career. This can lead to some delays in promotions and a lack of understanding of the work.
To grow smoothly, Natives may have to seek the support of wise people. Under the influence of malefic planets, this mahadasha can lead to obstacles.
If Jupiter, Mercury, or Venus are placed with Saturn, then only natives can enjoy the good results of Saturn mahadasha. In such a scenario, instant promotion and a rise in rank may happen.
Natives also see a gradual rise in finances and make investments in real estate. A business opportunity can also come, and success is sure in the antardasha of Saturn, Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter.
Relationship matters can test the native, and even the influence of benefic planets may not be of much help. Misunderstandings with loved ones can occur, and work commitments often force natives to leave their families.
The health of the mother can be affected, and if the 4th house lord, Mercury or Moon, is not well placed, then this period can cause medical emergencies for her. Native relationships also require a lot of attention, and some rifts and troubles can arise over inheritance-related matters.
A similar pattern may occur with the father, leading to frequent health issues.
In matters of health, the aspect of mahadasha Lord Saturn over the 1st house can cause issues. If Mars, Ketu, or Rahu are placed in the 1st house, then natives may have some pain in their bodies, and physical injuries can also happen.
The possibility of health issues becoming chronic is high. If the planet Moon is in the 1st, 6th, 8th, or 12th house, then the mental health of the native requires attention. Natives may have anxiety, depression, and compulsive disorders that can develop.
Remedies: Keeping Saturn's aspects in mind, it is a must that natives wear a Jyotish-quality emerald to maintain the strength of the ascendant. Parallely natives should pacify Saturn by changing the Saturn beej mantra.
Fifth House
For Gemini natives, the exalted mahadasha of Saturn leads to betterment in most areas of life. Natives become very wise and show a high level of intelligence. His knowledge level increases with each period, and he acts very maturely.
Natives fulfill their responsibilities very well and command respect from people at work, home, or in society.
The career trajectory stays upwards throughout the mahadasha, and the involvement of Jupiter, Venus, or Mercury with Saturn can bring auspicious events in the form of career elevation.
Natives with political aspirations can expect a major push in their time. Also, it supports a successful business; the influence of Venus or Mercury can give inclinations to do a business. Natives can also opt for professions that involve creative expression, such as action or music.
In relationship matters, a native may act very serious but thoughtful. He never rushes into a relationship and doesn't make false commitments. Love-related matters start slow, and the native takes his time to understand the person.
Similarly, marriage also occurs late, but the natives manage to find a partner who is highly compatible. If Jupiter, the 7th Lord, is not ill or in an unfavorable position, they don't face significant problems in their marriage.
The influence of Mars, Ketu, or Saturn over the 5th house may delay the birth of children and necessitate medical procedures.
Health areas don't show any major concern, but if Saturn is with Ketu, then stomach areas become vulnerable in this mahadasha.
Remedies: Reciting Shani Chalisa is a must, and if Lord of the 5th House Venus is weak, then natives should wear a white sapphire to make planet Venus strong.
Sixth House
The sign Scorpio rules here, owned by none other than fiery Mars. Having a Saturn Mahadasha with this placement of Saturn has its pros and cons. The natural effects of Saturn Mahadasha are usually good, making them hardworking and persistent.
Such qualities not only lead to success but also maintain humility during times of crisis. This is the best impact of this Mahadasha, and it overhauls the faulty belief system of the native.
Saturn Mahadasha also encourages servitude, fostering honesty and loyalty in their work. At the same time, it develops kindness towards the needy and the poor. This is a divine quality that has the power to change one's fate and future. They may feel burdened with work, but they perform their duties effectively.
Having a well-placed 10th house lord, Jupiter, can result in promotion, right after Saturn Antardasha itself. When Rahu associates with either the 4th or 12th house in this Mahadasha, they may also have the opportunity to relocate abroad. Depending on the condition of the 2nd house and the 11th house, they can see very good financial growth during this period.
No matter what, Saturn Mahadasha provides them with new opportunities, and how they utilize them depends on the condition of their natal horoscope. Saturn's association with Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter will clear their path and make the process easier for them. They may also be successful in generating good returns.
The 6th house is associated with legal matters and enemies. During this period, there is a chance for such negative matters to become more prominent. But if Saturn is strong and under auspicious influences, there is no need to worry.
Even if people turn into enemies, they won't be able to harm the natives. But if Saturn is influenced by Ketu, Mars, or Rahu, then they will have to fight them and may even face defeats on some occasions.
Similarly, in the weak and malefic state of Saturn here, its Mahadasha can lead to debts and financial issues. If planet Rahu is in the 12th house, it can happen due to unnecessary expenditures.
This period can bring opportunities to make money via commission. In matters of relationships, they may witness problems in the lives of maternal relatives.
The third aspect of Saturn falls over the 8th house, and the placement of the Moon, Sun, or Karaka of marriage in it can cause issues with or to the mother, father, and spouse, respectively. Friction with siblings may arise due to property- and inheritance-related issues.
The aspect of Saturn over the 3rd and 8th houses produces such possibilities. A native with the sun in the 8th house may witness favorable outcomes for their siblings, particularly in matters of inheritance. This can lead to turbulence in relationships within their family.
Saturn is known to cause chronic health issues when placed in the 6th house. In this Mahadasha, the chances of such occurrences are very high.
Having a weak ascendant and its lord Mercury, along with the 6th house, Mars, and 7th house, Jupiter, can lead to various kinds of health issues that can become chronic. The possibility of suffering from an injury or accident also becomes very prominent. They should exercise caution in the Antardasha of Saturn, Ketu, Rahu, and Mars.
Seventh House
Jupiter rules over this house because of the Sagittarius sign in it. Both the Lord and the zodiac are associated with wisdom and grace.
Saturn, the Mahadasha Lord, is also associated with wisdom and honesty. Such qualities culminate in the native in a very profound manner.
They begin to explore an ideal way of living by following gurus guidelines.
The native engages in tasks and activities that promote self-growth. There is a complete shift in their thinking, and this period is beneficial for their spiritual growth. At work, they show honesty and commitment and give their best.
Seniors and bosses can be very demanding, but because of the natives perseverance, they see success in pleasing them with results.
A promotion can happen in Saturn Mahadasha when Jupiter is placed in the 1st, 7th, or 10th house. This promotion can be significant and can change the course of their life.
The influence of Venus and Mercury can further boost the native's prospects. During this period, relocation also occurs, most likely in the Saturn antardasha itself.
Their wealth rises, and with smart investments, if Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, or 11th house, then major moves can be made in real estate.
They can also be involved in a business by becoming active partners. This venture can become successful if the 5th lord Venus is associated with the 10th house or its lord Jupiter.
Since the Mahadasha lord is in the 7th house, a major impact falls on marriage and the spouse. If the native is unmarried before entering this Mahadasha, then the wait can increase.
For ideal results like a timely and peaceful marriage, Venus, Jupiter, or Mercury should influence the 7th house.
Whereas the influence of malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, and especially Mars can cause havoc in their marriage.
Saturn Mahadasha can trigger various issues, ranging from marital disputes to health issues. The nature of the Mahadasha lord is very cold, and in the house of the life partner, it can make the native form a pessimistic view about the partner.
If Venus is under the influence of Rahu, Mars, or Mercury, they may have a degraded approach to intimacy. Legal issues can also arise if Mars is placed in the 7th house under the influence of Rahu or Ketu.
The influence of Saturn over the 9th house of Father indicates that matters related to the father may require attention, and, in the following conditions, issues related to the father are imminent:
- When the sun is debilitated.
- When the sun is placed in the 6th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house.
- When Mars is placed in the 3rd or 9th house.
- When in Navamsha, the Sun and Saturn are together.
Saturn's aspect over the 1st house may cause the native's appearance to deteriorate. Their skin and hair may not look healthy anymore. Their bones may also become brittle, and the influence of Ketu over Saturn can lead to spine and neck-related problems.
But under the influence of benefics such as Venus and Mercury, the Mahadasha of Saturn can lead to awareness and knowledge in health matters. They put in the effort and see success in reaping the results.
Remedies: Depending on which planet is influencing the 7th house, the native should perform the remedy for that planet. They can pacify Saturn alone by reciting the Shani Beej mantra daily.
Eight House
Saturn owns the Capricorn sign, which rises here. As a result, Saturn's mahadasha tends to perform well for them. During this period, Natives can expect sudden opportunities and gains.
Especially when Saturn is under the influence of Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter, the mahadasha of Saturn delivers beneficial results very smoothly. Natives may witness a complete change in fortune and living conditions. In some cases where Rahu is associated with the 4th or 12th house, relocation to another place can also happen.
Natives can make sudden gains as well, and inheritance-related matters are solved in favor of the native. This period encourages a career in research and insurance.
They may travel frequently and become interested in the occult, research, and religion. This period can be beneficial for health, leading to a transformation in a native's appearance and disposition. The development of new energy and a fresh perspective also prove advantageous.
It is very natural that not all natives will experience positive results; cases where Saturn is weak or afflicted will lead to negative outcomes in its mahadasha.
The aspect of Mars, Ketu, Rahu, or the Sun associated with Saturn can spoil the party for many.
Under affliction, individuals may become extremely stubborn and overconfident. Losses will also happen, and obstacles of an unseen nature will cause disruptions in their plans.
Particularly for those with the sun in the 6th house, health can deteriorate and chronic issues may emerge.
Remedies: Natives should wear a Jyotish-quality blue sapphire in their right and middle fingers to boost the strength of Saturn. Doing so will only bring benefits for the native.
Tenth House
With Pisces rising in the 10th house, the Mahadasha lord Saturn performs very well. If Jupiter is also placed in this house, the native will receive the grand results of Dharmakarma Adhipati Yoga.
Such conditions can lead to a massive rise for natives, supporting careers in politics and administration.
If Venus also influences Saturn and Jupiter, it is likely that they will have major success in business, cinema, and the arts.
This period often leads to changes in residence, and the native may migrate abroad. Ideal conditions abroad promote growth and better future prospects.
Natives with Mars in the 4th or 10th house can expect major gains from real estate and valuables. The Moon's influence over Saturn leads to academic success and makes the native extremely philosophical.
Under these conditions, the native grows spiritually and achieves a fine mental state, making their life blissful.
Relationship-wise, this period usually does not have major issues, except for marriage delays. However, the placement of Jupiter, the lord of the 7th house, in the 6th or 8th house can significantly impact marital prospects.
The influence of Mars over the 7th house, particularly its placement, can lead to physical separation and even violence. Venus or Jupiter's influence on the 7th house may prevent such events.
The 10th house is maraka (significant) for the father, and natives should be prepared for potential health issues and a cold relationship with him. The father may also experience career and reputation issues, particularly when Ketu influences the 10th house.
We can make similar predictions for the mother, given that Saturn's direct aspect over the 4th house signifies events surrounding her.
Checking the moon's state and the mother's karaka is essential. Natives with a weak moon may witness their mother's health deteriorating, potentially impacting their mental well-being. Similarly, having a weak or afflicted Mars can cause physical health issues for the spouse.
Knees and spine troubles can arise when Ketu influences Saturn. Special precautions should be taken when Ketu is in the 6th house, as such alignments can lead to knee surgery. Natives in old age going through Saturn Mahadasha often experience these problems.
Remedies: If the ascendant lord Mercury is weak or afflicted, the native should wear an emerald to strengthen Mercury. Additionally, the natives should recite Shani Chalisa daily.
Eleventh House
Saturn Mahadasha effects can be very mysterious here. Traditionally, Saturn becomes debilitated in this house and loses its potential to do good. However, as per Sage Parashar, there is a Rajyoga that states,
"When the lord of the 6th, 7th, or 8th house becomes debilitated and aspects the ascendant, it is considered a Rajyoga."
Here, Saturn rules the 8th house and aspects the 1st house via its 3rd aspect. Hence, there is potential in this Mahadasha to do good. However, Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter must support Saturn.
Under these conditions, the natives can expect great career and financial outcomes. Natives may come into contact with powerful and influential people and reap benefits.
At the workplace, they may come closer to seniors and people in authority, increasing their influence among co-workers.
However, a few colleagues may become jealous of the native.
Under auspicious planetary associations, Saturn Mahadasha leads to business success and gains through speculation. This time period is helpful in financial matters.
But if Saturn lacks such auspicious planetary influences and is affected by Mars, Rahu, or Ketu, the native may have serious overconfidence and a lack of ability to perform.
Overconfidence can harm both job prospects and business prospects. They may struggle to persuade others, and their romantic relationships may not proceed smoothly.
The possibility of a breakup becomes very high, and marriage-related matters cause upheaval in life. Stomach-related issues can bother the native, and the aspect of debilitated Saturn over the ascendant can lead to physical issues such as body pain.
If the moon is present in the first house, the mind also gets affected, making the native lazy and prone to procrastination, which harms all areas of life.
Remedies: The native should wear a Jyotish quality green emerald on the smallest finger of the right hand. This will aid in addressing the Saturn aspect. Additionally, the natives should worship Saturn every Saturday.
Twelth House
The presence of the mahadasha lord in the 12th house is not highly praised in Vedic astrology texts. During mahadasha, natives can see negativity in life.
However, due to its presence in the sign of Taurus, which is ruled by its friend Venus, natives can gain some benefits in foreign lands, but only if they have other supportive placements. Rahu in the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses is supportive, as is Venus or Mercury placed in the 12th house itself.
In such conditions, natives excel in foreign lands and fulfill their dreams. Out of all planetary influences, Venus, particularly its union, promotes auspicious events during Saturn's mahadasha.
During this period, natives may experience an increase in expenses and a potential impact on their budget, but by the middle of the mahadasha, they are able to manage their finances effectively.
Relationship issues may arise, leading to physical distance from loved ones. Health-wise, some attention is required, and during this period, natives can suffer from a lack of energy and issues with sleep.
Surgery may be necessary if the 6th Lord Mars is in the 8th house or if Ketu's influence is on Saturn. Mental health can take an extreme toll if the moon is sitting in the 6th house. Here, the Scorpio sign rises, and the moon becomes debilitated. Loneliness, anxiety, and fear can grip the native's mind.
Remedies: Natives should meditate daily on Saturn's image, and reciting its mantra can be very beneficial.
