Introduction
Mahadasha Lord Saturn is ruler of the 7th and 8th houses, which rules over the following significations in the horoscope of Cancer ascendant Natives:
- Marriage.
- Longevity.
- Partnerships.
- Maraka.
- Chronic health issues.
- In laws.
- Legacy.
- Inheritance.
- Dealth.
- Obstacles.
It is clearly evident that Saturn is the most malefic planet for them, and if Saturn is afflicted by Ketu, Rahu or Mercury, then this mahadasha will prove immensely tough for them. They will have health issues of severe nature, especially when Saturn is placed in the 1st, 6th, 10th or 12th house.
Apart from that, they will have to face issues in marriage and pressure at the workplace. Saturn period can cause debts and can make them ask for money from others.
Only when Saturn is placed in beneficial position, i.e in its own sign in the 7th house, or in its friendly sign in the 3rd or 11th house. Simultaneously beneficial influence of Jupiter, Venus or yogakaraka Mars should also be there on it.
In such situation this period will be able to give native stability in career, finances but still they will need to give efforts and hardwork will be must for them.
Saturn mahadasha results from each house is mentioned below along with the remedies.
Effects In First House
Having the most malefic planet in the ascendant itself and going through its mahadasha is never a sweet experience. The aspect of the mahadasha lord falls over the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses. All these houses are important for personal and professional growth. These significations of these houses tend to suffer due to that, and any planet placed there also sees a negative force on it.
The final outcome of the mahadasha depends on where the Moon is placed. Here, Moon is the karaka of the mind and the ascendant lord, and it is a very important planet for them.
Having the Moon in the 9th house and in an exalted state in the 11th house is the best placement, which can counter the negative impact of Saturn mahadasha and keep a balance in the life of a native.
If the Moon is weak or afflicted, then natives will have a profound malefic influence on Saturn mahadasha, and natives will not be able to recognize the solutions.
Saturn mahadasha's influence causes career frustrations. Natives don't get ideal conditions for growth and experience negative forces in the form of a toxic work environment, a super strict boss, and even the economy, which can pose a threat to their job.
If Saturn is afflicted by Ketu, Rahu, or even Mercury, then natives may have to encounter the following issues:
- Loss of job.
- Demotion.
- Unfavorable and unwanted transfers.
- Lack of motivation.
- Losses in business.
For ideal results, the influence of 9th house lord Jupiter or yogakaraka Mars is a must over the mahadasha lord Saturn.
Their influence will keep the natives motivated and will provide support for luck. Despite the adversities, natives will have the courage and wisdom to make a comeback.
Mars should not be sitting with Saturn because debilitation of Mars will be very ineffective in Saturn mahadasha. Whereas Jupiter and the placement of Moon moon are ideal,. Due to their positional strength, both of them can counter the malefic influence of Saturn mahadasha.
As the 7th house lord, Saturn brings a special focus to marriage and relationships. If the native is not married, then he can expect it to happen in the beginning phases of Saturn mahadasha itself.
Ups and downs are expected to happen in married life, even if Jupiter is placed in the 1st house. This mahadasha is kamrically heavy duty, and only devotion and loyalty towards the spouse can bring stability in marriage. Health-wise, natives can face bone and eye-related issues.
Also, slowness in the body and possible issues in joints and the spine can trouble the native. If Saturn is severely afflicted, then surgery can also happen in the antardasha of Mars, Ketu, or Mercury.
Remedies: Natives should worship Lord Hanuman and follow his teachings. Reading Hanuman chalisa daily along with Saturn chalisa can prove beneficial.
Effects In Second House
Leo sign rises here, which is Mahadasha Lord's arch enemy. Saturn mahadasha tends to harm the significations of the 2nd house and causes a dent in the earnings and savings of the native. Unexpected issues tend to come, and problems become chronic in nature.
The aspect of Saturn over the 4th, 8th, and 11th houses affects the domestic peace, marital life, social circle, and finances of the native. Feelings of loneliness can also come, and if the moon is not well placed, they may experience extreme hardships while dealing with them. Lack of growth in career and delays in promotion and salary can ruin happiness.
Natives also struggle with pressure to perform. If Mahadasha Lord is under the malefic influence of Ketu or Rahu, then the situation can even lead to the loss of Job.
Family businesses can suffer, and losses are expected to happen. Mars influence over the 2nd house can save the business, but the harsh speech of natives can create communication gaps and bad relationships with loved ones.
It is seen that Saturn mahadasha here causes trouble in the family and affects the health and well-being of the father, mother, and even siblings. If natives have a union of Rahu or Ketu with the mahadasha lord, then negativity can become overwhelming.
The health of the natives, both physical and mental, takes a severe hit. And without the influence of Mars or Jupiter, natives can suffer from various health issues. Ketu, Rahu, Venus, and Mercury's antardashas require special attention.
Remedies: Natives should establish a Shani yantra at home and worship it daily. If Jupiter has an aspect over Saturn, then natives should make Jupiter strong to increase its influence.
Effects In Third House
For Cancer natives, the Virgo sign rises here, and its lord Mercury is friendly towards the mahadasha lord Saturn. Compared to the other houses, Saturn's mahadasha can have positive effects here, but to maximize its benefits, Jupiter's influence should be present.
In such a scenario, the native becomes active and takes the right action, which brings growth in career and life. They become more active and constantly look for new opportunities and growth in life.
Most likely, they will change their organization and become engaged in business. They will explore their creative side, and the placement of Venus or even Mercury will give them success in writing, craft, business, or a career where a lot of traveling will be required.
Relationship matters will be balanced where the equation with the spouse will become better and natives will be making efforts to make their marriage good. There will be frequent travel with spouse and natives will enjoy bonding with them. They will also become closer to their in-laws and will be getting assistance from them.
But with siblings, there will be some drama, and inheritance related matters will cause distance between them. The aspect of Saturn over the 5th house is not good for their love affairs and emotional well-being. Natives may have to face issues such as a breakup with their partner. Delays in childbirth and problems in relationships with children will also be experienced.
In matters of health, the Saturn period can prove good for overcoming existing health issues, but Saturn should not be under malefic influences. Especially Ketu, Rahu, or Mercury influences can make their lives tough, and natives may become injury-prone.
Remedies: Visit Shani temples and offer prayers on Saturdays. Light a mustard oil lamp (diya) under a Peepal tree or at a Shani temple on Saturdays. Perform a Shani Shanti Puja or a Yagna dedicated to Saturn. This is often recommended during Saturn's return (Sade Sati) or its major and minor periods (Dasha and Antardasha).
Effects In Fourth House
The Libra sign rises here, which is the exaltation sign of Mahadasha Lord Saturn. The aspect of Saturn over the 1st house can cause troubles in their life. If ascendant lord Moon is weak or if malefic influences are over the first house, then natives will experience delays and obstacles in all matters of life.
They will face delays in promotion and salary rises, also the burden of work. Enemies at work will be very active, especially when 6th House Lord Jupiter is weak, or if Mercury or Moon is placed in that house. Natives may have to face an unwanted transfer in the form of punishment.
Even when Saturn is under the auspicious influence of Jupiter or the Moon, there are still issues at work. No matter what, the karmic debts will test their patience. However, once this storm passes, they will always have opportunities to seize them.
After grinding and grueling experiences, they will develop resistance and resilience. This will come in handy during the remaining period of the Saturn mahadasha. The best learning will happen when their moon is influenced by Jupiter or by Mahadasha Lord Saturn.
In financial matters, Native will be able to manage expenses and his finances despite the delays in salary rise. They may make gains through real estate or inherit land or property.
This possibility will occur when Mars is well placed, i.e., in the 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th, or 11th house. Spouse and in laws will play a crucial role in the finances of natives. In extreme crises, which can happen in the Sade Sati period, They will be there to support the natives.
This indicates that natives will have the trust of others, especially their spouse and in-laws. Their married lives will improve due to increased trust in each other. Though the presence of the malefic influence of Mercury, Ketu, or Rahu over the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses can test their love and trust for each other,.
Natives may have severe disputes with their mother, maternal relatives, or father. At the same time, natives may lose some friends from childhood, which can hurt them deeply. Due to such negative experiences, natives may not trust people easily. This is the trademark of this kind of Saturn mahadasha, i.e., suspicion, close-mindedness, and inability to trust.
Natives with Ketu, Mercury, Rahu, or Mars in the 1st house may suffer a lot due to health issues. They may experience a loss of strength, stamina, and vitality in the body. Their mental health will also decline, and if the Moon is placed in the 6th or 8th house, then they will need lots of motivation to overcome their illness.
Remedies: Natives should appease Saturn by chanting its beej mantra daily. Also, it is important that they were a Jyotish-quality pearl to give strength to their ascendant, which will be suffering due to the aspect of Saturn on it.
Effects In Fifth House
Scorpio sign rises here, and Mahadasha Lord doesn't feel comfortable in it. Also, Saturn's functions are not ideal for the significations of this house.
Due to the high relevancy of the 5th house in matters of promotion and growth, it is a must that the native observe the beginning of the mahadasha and see where things are heading.
Most likely, their promotion will be delayed, and they may have to witness a downfall in their career. If Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon are weak, the likelihood of such an occurrence increases. Even the weakness of Moon, who is the ascendant lord, is enough to cause demotion and trouble.
Native creativity, logic, and reasoning will be affected, due to which a solution to a problem will not come. They will require exalted Jupiter (guidance) to navigate the murky waters and situations. But the aspect of Saturn over the 11th house will not allow them to have the support of the people.
Even their closest and most cherished friends may abandon them. At some point, they may think of starting a business, but they may make major miscalculations that will lead to failures in it.
This will significantly affect their finances. Such mistakes can happen to those who have afflictions over their moon, especially via Mercury. The aspect of mahadasha Lord Saturn over the 2nd and 11th houses doesn't support financial stability for them. Only when the horoscope has placements like Jupiter or Moon in the 1st or 11th house will they be able to accumulate wealth.
Saturn is a cold and pessimistic planet, which affects their emotional intelligence.
Natives will not be able to make meaningful connections, and they may break up with the onset of Saturn mahadasha. Finding a new partner can become very challenging, and their unmarried status may not change until the middle part of Saturn mahadasha. Only when natives have Jupiter's auspicious influence over Saturn can they expect a timely marriage in Saturn mahadasha.
Their married life is likely to remain stable without much issue, provided the karaka of marriage is well placed. As the lord of the 7th house, its aspect is highly supportive of marital peace and prosperity.
The spouse will be the primary supporter and motivator, providing support during times of crisis. The spouse will even provide financial support.
Native gut health will need attention because, as the ruler of the 7th and 8th houses (chronic issues), it has the ability to disturb the engine of the body (the stomach).

The influence of malefic planets over the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses can also lead to surgery. Particularly when the moon is in a malefic house or in debilitation with the mahadasha lord Saturn, their mental health requires attention.
In that case, native emotions will be highly disturbed, and malefic transits, i.e., Rahu or Ketu, can trigger episodes of anxiety and depression.
Remedies: Natives should worship Lord Hanuman daily, and reciting Mangal kavach will be very beneficial.
Effects In Sixth House

Natives will need to understand that the aspect of Mahadasha ruler over the 8th house can become a major challenge if not taken care of in time. Ascendant Lord Moon or Yogakaraka Mars should not be present in it.

Financial matters may become challenging, and they may have to incur debts due to a medical emergency or sudden expenses of an unnecessary nature. Due to its rulership over the 7th house, this placement of Saturn is not going to give any support to their marriage.
As soon as the mahadasha starts, they will have to struggle with marital matters. Spouse behavior will trouble them, and the possibility of divorce or separation will become very high.
