About Saturn
Saturn or Shani or Shanaichara is the Sanskrit name for this slow-moving planet of astrology. Many astrologers consider it a temperamental but beneficial planet. The reason behind this is that Saturn is responsible for invoking hard work and resilience while also giving slow results for all actions. This planet is surrounded by rings, and in a similar fashion, it governs all restrictions that govern a person’s life.
As per Vedic astrology, it is the furthest planet and signifies all that is ‘final’ and last to come or go. It is also the planet that determines time and age; hence, old age is said to be governed by Saturn. There are multitudes of such things, places as well, and zodiac signs that it governs, making it quite a fascinating astrological planet.
