Avoid:
These above general remedies for Saturn also work for Saadhe Saatee. The people who do not know Jyotish, or do not know
this theory, may use mustard oil everyday in cooking etc as their habit or culture, and unconsciously strengthen Saturn, most of
the cases which is a malefic planet causing a lot of troubles and grief.
Note: A used horse shoe and used iron nails from boats are used to appease Shani Devata (Planet Saturn). But this has to be
done with caution. In my personal experience they appear to strengthen Shani than just appeasing him. They do give some
troubles besides benefits. The horse shoe, iron nails should be used only after doing specific Poojaa and rituals performed by a
learned Pandit (Vaidik priest).
Since dog is considered as the Vaahan of Kaal Bhairav - in one way he is Adhi Devtaa of Shani (Shani is equal to Yam as he does
Yam's job in Kaashee). And since he is Ugra Devataa he works only in night, that's why I told this and wearing blue stone needs
astrologer consultation, but in general it is also a remedy for Shani.
Shani-Remedies-2:
Feeding:
1) Shani may be pacified by offering black Desi Grams to a black buffalo or a horse, on any Saturday.
2) Put mustard oil over the Chapaatee, and offer the same to the crows and the dogs.
3) Malefic effects of Shani are pacified by offering a Chapaatee, mixing some oil in the flour, put a sweet over it and feed
to a black dog.
4) Feeding crow is also a good remedy for Shani - tested by me. It is best to feed them salty rice.
5) Even offering Laddoo to crows and the black dogs also pacify Lord Shani.
6) On Friday night, dip 1.25 Kilograms of black grams in three parts, all in equal quantities. Offering them to Lord Shani
through mental worship, offer the first part to a horse or a buffalo after been fried and putting chilies and Masaalaa
over it.
Now, the second part may be distributed to the persons suffering from leprosy, and the third part be put on the road-
crossing (where there four lanes meet - Chauraahaa). It is the best way to pacify Lord Shani.
7) On any Saturday, prepare two Chapaatees with flour (inclusive of bran). Put oil and sweet over one Chapaatee and
the Ghee over the other Chapaatee. Offer the first Chapaatee (with oil and sweet) to a black cow and the second one
(with ghee over it) also to the same cow. Now pray to Lord Shani for the peace and prosperity.
8) Offer bananas, sweet parched rice, jaggery and black grams (Chanaa) to the Monkeys on every Saturday. This also
helps ending up malefic effects of Shani.
9) In case you are bearing losses in your business, feed Chapaatee to crows and cows for 43 long days continuously.
Wearing:
1) Instant Results - Go and search the horse’s shoe and get it made into a ring from the blacksmith on any Saturday. Put
it in the clean water or dip it into the un-boiled milk on Friday night. On Saturday morning put it in the middle finger
of your left and. It gives instant results.

pieces of barley seeds, seven pieces of black whole Urad into it and also putting Dakshinaa (cash) over it. Looking your

Shani-Remedies-3:
To strengthen Shani:
When Saturn is transiting through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd house from the natal Moon, this is termed as Saadhe Saatee. "Saadhe
Saatee" literally means 7 and 1/2 years, which means that Saturn naturally takes 2 and 1/2 years in its transit from one house to
another house. This transit is considered particularly important in Vaidik Astrology because this transit is supposed to indicate
difficult results either to the native or the native's close relatives. In Vaidik Astrology, Moon relates to the mind. When people
are not properly informed about its malefic influences, they are likely to misunderstand the magnitude of the real
experience.Generally, Saturn brings increased hardship and suffering around the 30th year, around the 60th year, and then
again around the 90th year if the native is still alive. This does not mean that Saadhe Saatee is taking place on your 30th year. It
can begin anytime before your 30th year, and then repeats itself every 30 years thereafter. With regard to the Saadhe Saatee
transit in particular, one can expect to experience it about two or three times within one's lifetime. In rare cases, a person may
undergo up to 4 Saadhe Saatee cycles in his lifetime. First cycle of Saadhe Saatee generally affects close relatives more than the
native. The 2nd cycle influences the domestic front as well as the business front, and the 3rd cycle affects children, family,
health, and physical suffering or may even indicate the death of the native. 4th cycle Saadhe Saatee brings liberation from
either the body or the soul or, possibly, both. It should be noted that this dreaded influence does not necessarily conclude
when Saturn exits the 2nd House from the natal Moon.
When Saturn passes through the 8th house from the natal moon, it is called Ashtam Shani (translated 8th Saturn). This 8th
house transit is considered equally negative like the Saadhe Saatee transit. As it is known, the 8th house is a malefic house and
any malefic planet transiting this house either from the Moon or from the rising sign (Ascendant), is bound to bring malefic
results (unless the native is passing through a good Dashaa / Bhukti). The 8th house transit indicates worry, suffering, and
misery for the native.Similarly, when Saturn passes through the 4th house from the birth Moon, it is supposed to give negative
results. This position of Saturn is called Ardh Saadhe Saatee (Half-Saadhe Saatee). Some people consider the transit of Saturn
from the 5th house of the natal Moon as negative because it affects the quality of one's judgment. However, it is always
important to keep in mind, when judging the effects of a particular transit, that planetary transits are always subordinate in
influence to birth chart indications as well as to the influences of the currently operating Dashaa and Bhukti cycles. Saadhe
Saatee's notorious reputation derives from the fact that the Moon rules the mind and the emotions, while Saturn rules
suffering; therefore, an individual can expect an increase in emotional and mental duress during this transit.
1) Saturn, when transiting 12th house from the Moon indicates loss of prestige and honor, aimless travel, lack of
comfort in living, arguments, and poverty.
2) Saturn in the 1st house where the natal Moon resides indicates character assassination mental afflictions, and
sorrows.
3) In the 2nd house from the natal Moon, the native's mind becomes unsound, innumerable worries accumulate, there
is a general failure to achieve good results, the native experiences ill health, and misunderstandings arise. There is
also a considerable amount of financial stress.
However, it is wise to remember that all people having Saadhe Saatee will not necessarily experience the same or even similar
results. Many people even experience exceptionally positive results in the areas of success, finances, property, or increased
status during this evil transit. The nature of results has to do with Saturn's relationship to the rising sign, the Moon sign, and the
indications of Saturn's influence for a particular rising sign.
Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius. It is also the Yog Kaarak (that planet which has the power and energy to bring growth,
progress, prosperity, good luck and good fortune) for Taurus and Libra rising signs. When Saadhe Saatee occurs for Taurus,
Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius Moon signs as well, the Saadhe Saatee may not give them as much negative results. Its evil
influence is reduced to a great degree in these circumstances. This is because Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius and Libra and
Taurus are ruled by Venus; who is a friend of Saturn.
Natives with Capricorn or Aquarius Lagnas or with their Moon in Taurus or Libra may experience hardship during Saadhe
Saatee, but may emerge unharmed because of a reduction in its usual evil influence. If Libra is the ascendant, and the Moon is
in Virgo, the Saadhe Saatee years will bring financial stress, emotional issues with family, and disputes. However, since Saturn
happens to be a Yog Kaarak, then the troubles would be over without too much suffering. Whenever Saturn becomes a benefic
planet or Yog Kaarak, then the troubles can be overcome or minimized. As we can make out, many considerations have to be
taken into account when analyzing the influence of the Saadhe Saatee as well as the transit of Saturn. In the final analysis,
Saadhe Saatee can be burdensome and frustrating, or it can uplift the native and bring success with responsibility. Overall, with
persistent effort, Saturn's transit can raise the consciousness and make one more spiritual than before the Saadhe Saatee
began. Saadhe Saatee's significance is its ability to transform a person's spiritual awareness. On the surface, the struggles are
immense, but only as a purifying catalyst for further growth.
Shaneeshwar Gayatri:
[Recite this Gayatri 8 times in the morning - praying Shani Dev especially on Saturday is more powerful.
In order to please Lord Shani, at the time of rising Sun, chant below mentioned Shani Mantra, 7 times or 21 times, every day. It
takes away all your troubles:
“Suryaputro Deerghdeho, Vishaalaakshya Shivapriya Mandchar prasannaatmaa, Peeram haratu may Shani"
Calling the names of the wife of Lord Shani has also been advised. The native gets its positive results. It may be chanted over
every day. (7 times for 11 days):
Shaneeshwar Stotra:
According to legend, shani is a devotee of lord shiva. As mentioned in the "navagraha pidahara sthothram" of "brahmanda
purana", anybody who chants the following sthothra is relieved from all the ill effects of shani.
“Suryaputhro deerghadeho vishaalaakshah shivapriyah |
I have been reading many remedies suggested by eminent astrologers of the Group to ward off the bad effects of Shani
Peyarchi. The remedies mentioned below are suggested in Tattwalok magazine published from Chennai. They are very simple
and would help the devotees to pray in their house itself and help them to focus their mind at a particular time with undivided
attention. What impresses me most is that the righteous actions and righteous deeds are important to protect ourselves from
the bad effects. According to me, the family members and well wishers of the affected persons should remain united and offer
solace and prayers all the time and should remain in constant remembrance of the Lord. Their prayers and help would also help
the affected persons. "The best way to please Shani is through righteous thoughts and righteous actions. As a religious ritual,
Shani Deep prayer is effective remedy against Shani's bad effects for those whose Shani is weak in the horoscope and for those
who have 7 1/2 years Shani.”
