Saturn Is Auspicious as Yogakaraka for Taurus and Libra

Saturn is auspicious for a Taurus lagna because it rules the 9th and the 10th, and for a Libra lagna because it rules the 4th and the 5th. Those pairs join a trine with a kendra, which is the yogakaraka pattern. For Cancer and Leo the yogakaraka is Mars, not Saturn. For Capricorn and Aquarius it is Venus. If your lagna is not Taurus or Libra, do not import their Saturn verdict. Saturn can still be helpful in the 3rd, 6th, or 11th, the upachayas, because natural malefics often work there. Helpful in an upachaya is not the same as yogakaraka. The first is a good seat for a difficult graha. The second is a graha whose houses are themselves desirable.

By sign, Saturn is exalted in Libra, at home in Capricorn and Aquarius, and debilitated in Aries. Shasha yoga is Saturn in a kendra in Libra, Capricorn, or Aquarius. Digbala is the 7th house, so Saturn in the 7th in one of those signs has direction and dignity together. Saturn in the 7th also aspects the lagna by its seventh aspect, which can make the person serious and durable, and it sits on marriage, so the marriage is delayed or dutiful even when Saturn is auspicious by lordship. Auspicious does not mean soft. A Libra-lagna Saturn in the 7th rules the 4th and 5th and occupies the spouse's house. Home, children, and marriage meet. That can be a strong life and a heavy wedding. Say both.

Saturn mahadasha lasts 19 years. For a Taurus or Libra lagna those years carry the yogakaraka and can be the long constructive chapter, slowly. For a lagna where Saturn rules the 8th, the same 19 years carry rupture and other people's money. People ask when Saturn is auspicious because they are about to enter the mahadasha and want a blessing. The blessing is the lordship, which you can know before the period starts. If the lordship is mixed, the period is mixed. Remedies that try to make every Saturn auspicious erase the 8th. Leave the 8th named. Wear nothing, especially blue sapphire, until the houses are written down. Auspicious is a list of lagnas and signs. It is not a charm.
