Saturn in the 12th House
Saturn in the 12th house puts the graha of duration into loss, foreign residence, and sleep. For an Aquarius lagna that 12th sign is Capricorn, so Saturn is in its own sign, a strong Saturn in the house of expense. The remedy is not the same for every lagna.
What the 12th does with Saturn
The 12th is cost, distance, institutions, and the bed. Saturn makes those themes slow and structured: a long stay abroad, a planned expenditure, a solitary schedule, work that happens out of sight. It is not only ruin. If Saturn is exalted, the 12th would have to be Libra, which means the lagna is Scorpio, because Libra is 12th from Scorpio. Exalted Saturn in the 12th for Scorpio lagna is a strong Saturn of structure inside the loss house, and Saturn for Scorpio also owns the 3rd and the 4th. Own-sign Saturn in the 12th for Aquarius is the other clean dignity. A debilitated Saturn cannot sit in the 12th unless the 12th is Aries, which means the lagna is Taurus. Taurus is exactly a yogakaraka Saturn lagna, so Saturn in Aries in the 12th is a weak yogakaraka in the house of loss. Say the dignity.
Remedies that respect lordship
Saturday conduct fits a Saturn period, the 19-year mahadasha or a Saturn antardasha. For Taurus and Libra, do not aim the rite at weakening Saturn. For a lagna where Saturn owns the 6th or 8th, the 12th placement is heavier and Saturday restraint is more to the point. Blue sapphire is not the remedy offered here. Foreign residence, if that is the lived 12th, is not cured by staying home on Saturday. It is the house functioning. Sleep trouble points at the 12th and the Moon, and it is not a diagnosis.
The aspect leaves the 12th
From the 12th, Saturn aspects the 2nd, the 6th, and the 9th. Family money, conflict, and fortune receive the glance. A remedy that talks only about expenses misses those three houses. During Saturn's dasha all four topics, the 12th plus the three aspects, can be loud. When the dasha ends, Mercury's 17 years begin if the mahadasha was Saturn's. The natal Saturn stays in the 12th. Only the chapter changes.
