Ashtam Shani – Adverse transit of Saturn through the eighth house

Free Vedic astrology article.

Continuation of the previous Blog about Saturn transits.

In the previous Blog we dealt with Sade Sati and Pancham Shani, or the transit of Saturn through the 12,1st, 2nd houses as also the 5th house from Moon.

In this Blog we shall take a look at what happens when Saturn transits the 8th house from Moon. When in the 8th house, Saturn not only gives the results of his physical presence there but also of where his three aspects fall.

Saturn’s transit through the eighth house from Moon causes losses and sorrow. One meets disappointments. Infamy and fear from law hovers in the background. Separation from progeny takes place. Life partner’s health causes concern and possibility of bereavement exists. Bad company and gambling tendency causes many problems. These results are favorably modified if Saturn is in Capricorn or Aquarius in birth or Navansh charts.

The third aspect of Saturn falls on the 10th house and separates a person from his profession and status. In other words, one is liable to lose his job and status in society. Professional obstacles increase during this two and a half year period and one is constantly fighting a losing battle.

The seventh house aspect of Saturn falls on the 2nd house of wealth and causes steady erosion of savings. Bank balance gets depleted and credit cards are maxed. Second house is also the house of domestic happiness and it gets affected negatively. The 2nd house is the 8th from seventh and shows the longevity of the spouse. Saturn’s aspect cause health issues to the life partner.

Saturn’s 10th house aspect falls on the 5th house of children and speculation and causes problems connected to both. One’s progeny may experience ill health and health care May require expenditure of money care giving. If the health of children remains intact, then there may be some other problems that cause anxiety to the individual. For these reasons this becomes the worst time to invest for future gains.

Remedies for Saturn transits

In addition to the measures given in earlier Blogs, there are a few more things that a person can do. Here they are.

Mantra: Chant Maha Mritunjaya Mantra. Also chant Shani Mantra which is
OM PRAAM PREEM PROM SAHA SHANYE NAMAHA.
This mantra should be chanted 23000 times in forty days.

Chant: Do a complete recitation of Dashrath Uvaach at least once a day.

Ring: Wear a ring made from the bottom of a boat, which is in use, or made from the horseshoe of a black horse (Front right foot)

Vrat / (Fast): Observe fast on Saturday. Worship Shani Dev with Kavach, Stotra and Mantra. Consume only milk, yogurt and fruit juice. Visit a Shani temple in the evening. Eat salted Khichri made with boiled Urad Dal and rice.

Aushadhi/(herbs): Every Saturday bathe with water in which the following has been mixed the night before.

Donation: Urad Dal (black lentils), sesame seeds, buffalo, iron utensils, knife, money and black clothes should be donated. Donation of blue sapphire is also very helpful.

Wrap a cotton thread seven times round a Peepal tree (The holy fig tree) on a Saturday evening. Keep chanting the Shani mantra while doing so. Make a lamp from kneaded flour, add some mustard oil to it and light it at the base of the tree. Ask forgiveness for all misdeeds done knowingly or unknowingly in the past.

Measure a thread equal to nineteen times the length of your hand (elbow to finger tips) and wear it as a garland.
Make the following Yantra on an iron plate and wear it on your body. For best results the iron plate should be made from the front foot horse shoe of a black horse.
