Saturn, also known as Shanidev in Vedic mythology is the most revered among all planets. Such is the strength of Lord Shanidev, that his mention alone induces fear in the minds of anyone who hears his name. A well placed Satu
in one's birthchart takes one to the heights of success in life. It brings name, fame, wealth and prosperity. But on the other hand, if Satu
is ill placed in one's birthchart, it can cause many malefic effects in one's life.
While the planet Satu
is looked up to with fear and regard in all systems of astrology, in Vedic Astrology, Shanidev is believed to be associated with a deep Karmic connection. When one is afflicted by Lord Shanidev, it is just not possible to escape the fruits of one's Karmas, and it is for the doings of his past that one reaps the fruits.
There are two phases very often associated with Shanidev, one is the dhaiya of Shani, and the other is the sadhesati of Shani. Satu
takes around 30 years to complete its revolution around the Sun, and correspondingly stays in each of the zodiacs for a period of two and a half years. When for a phase of two and a half years, Lord Shanidev is in the zodiac which is the 4th or 8th sign from one's moon sign as per one's birthchart, it is said to be a dhaiya of Shani. People very often work towards finding remedies for affliction caused by Lord Shani. One of the common remedies is visiting a Hanuman temple on Saturdays, as it is believed that with blessings of Lord Hanuman, one can overcome the affliction caused by Lord Shanidev.
The other malefic period is the Sadhe Sati of Shani, a phase of seven and a half years wherei
Satu
passes through one's moonsign, the sign just before that and the sign next to it. As Satu
stays in each sign for two and a half years, the total period adds up to be seven and a half years. This is a lengthy phase, wherein the influence of Shani is said to be very strong over the individual. It is believed that in these phases, it can sometimes be difficult to make progress in any areas of life. One is required to be satisfied with the Karmic package that Lord Shanidev delivers to the individual, and make the best of it.
According to some beliefs, Shanidev derives his name from Sanskrit word Sanaye, which means slow. Shanidev is believed to bring delays and pose obstacles in progress of work when a person is under his influence. But in spite of all the ill effects Shanidev has in one's life, Shanidev is said to be the greatest teacher. After a person is through the infliction posed by Shanidev, he emerges out to be stronger, and possessed with wisdom.
In essence, all planets transfer our Karmas back to ourselves and our lives. But Shanidev acts as an enforcer; he enforces our Karmas on us such that there is no escape. Satu
is the most phenomenal among all planets, and is made distinctive by its rings. While the planet represents honor and integrity, Lord Shanidev also signifies discipline, responsibility and limits. Its visible planetary rings that encircle the planet are symbolic of these limits.

***Aches and Pains: Listening to Your Body and Empowering Yourself to Keep It Working
Why is it that we tend to take better care of our cars than we do our bodies? I think it’s because there is a specific monetary value attached to the car. We value what we pay for our car. Our bodies, on the other hand, have no intrinsic monetary value so we tend to take our physical body for granted. Typically, it’s only when our bodies break down and we have to spend money to get them fixed that we realize the value.
