Saturn

Saturn is mythologically termed as the representative of the labour class as well is hard Master and the justice that reads the person without any emotional kindness.Saturn means Shani means Shanaihi Shanaihi means slow and slow .So it is the utmost slow moving planet that takes around thirty months to cover 30 degrees of the one sign of the zodiac.Due to its slow gesture it is termed as the old gentleman in the solar system.Due to its wisdom ,it is termed as the senior person in the solar system.Mythologically it is narrated as the old-ugly-frail and without any emotional quotient in this the behaviour.Its effects are long-standing in the life .It is the most important planet in the Vaastu Shastra ,so it’s stone is used twice in the Ratnadhyay ie to West and the Northwest directions.It is considered as the son  of the Sun and rises where Sun sets.So Saturn rules on the west horizon.
It is the only planet that rules on the connected two signs ie Capricorn and Aquarius ie west and south both .In Vaastu Shastra west and south are most important directions due their sinking characters and Saturn too rises on the sinking characters of the Sun.So as Sun means light-life-luxury So Saturn means darkness-death-dirt.
Saturn is considered as the Kaal ie the deity that rules the cycles of the time .Due to its connectivity to the death ,it is connected to the lord Shiva and Yama.It is the brother of Yama ,who controls the cycles of the breath and the Saturn controls the cycles of the time;and both are connected to the main sinking direction South.So prolonging of the breath cycles by reducing the pace of the cycles of the time is in the hands of Saturn.Prolonging of the breath cycles can happen in two way ,one by yogik means and the other by pain -sorrow-anxiety.
Jupiter is connected to the knowledge-expansion-gurudom-prosperity-tradition and Saturn is connected to the justice-tradition-religion-wisdom-contraction.So Jupiter is the kind master and Saturn is the real and hard master.Similarly in the VaastuShastra west and south are more important directions than the east and north directions.
As Sun is connected to the life so Saturn represents the after death life.So all the houses with disturbed south and west have shadows of feeling and the expressions of the spirits and haunting.
As Capricorn -Aquarius are own signs of Saturn and it is exalted in libra-the sign of Venus ; so Saturn represents the earth and wind element.Planet rules the earth where it lies in own sign and rules the sky where it is exalted.So Saturn rules the earth and the zone that lies under the earth of the south direction and rules the sky of wind element ie west zone .
Primarily Saturn can be classified as planet of wind element and then it is connected to the earth element;hence in the Ratnadhyay it’s stone is placed in the west and northwest zone;where lies the wind element.
When Saturn or characters of the Saturn emerge in the west zone ,Saturn being the slowest moving planet ;it gives full moon effect to all the east pranik energy and to the east matrix of deities too.One circular river pebble with absorption of sesame oil and black colour ;if kept in the west zone then it will give accelerating effect to the streaming of the east prana energy.This simple remedy can improve the vibrations of the deity Mitra -leading to better relationships in home and society too.
