Saturn rules karmic retribution; he delivers the fruits of our past mistakes, thereby teaching the lessons we need to learn in this birth. Typically Saturn rules grief, separation, obstacles, delays and disappointments, sorrow, hard work, chronic disease and old age, longevity and death. His nature is conservative, introverted, dutiful. Ultimately, Saturn inclines us towards final liberation, emancipation from the wheel of birth and death - moksha

Strength: When the Sun and the Moon occupy Makara (capricorn), Kumbha (aquarius) or Tula (libra) Rasi or the full moon is associated with any of the stars, viz. Chitra, Swati, Revati—Sani is strong. Sani signifies obstacles, impediments, and sorrow or miseries, it afflicts the house where it is posited and the native's miseries and sorrows from that house are indicated. A native cannot be a true ascetic unless Sani is strong and favourable. The planet is a gruelling tester of strength and character. It is a blessing in disguise. Sani melts away the dress in man through pain and suffering and by a process of fiery baptism, builds up the native, of course if Sani is favourable. If unfavourable he brands the native with inevitable disaster and doom—even though all other planets might contrive to make him apparently prosperous and successful. He is wrath of God Narayan or rather sorrow of God, imparted to man, made as He is in His image.
