When showing retrograde in a horoscope, Saturn can cause various types of positive or negative results for the native depending on its working nature, strength, level of activity and some other factors. The natives having retrograde Saturn in their horoscopes may experience different types of results depending on the placement of retrograde Saturn in various houses of their horoscopes. The scope of a planet to cause various effects in any house of a horoscope is vast and it can’t be contained in some words but I’ll still mention some commonly occurring positive and negative effects of Saturn when retrograde and placed in various houses of a horoscope.

Retrograde Saturn : When working positively in a horoscope, retrograde Saturn placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to the sphere of his profession, finances, health, lifespan, overall status, spiritualism, marriage and many other spheres of his life. In fact, such placement of this benefic planet can bless the native with beautiful results related to almost any sphere of his life and hence retrograde Saturn placed in the first house of a horoscope carries great importance, whether it is malefic or benefic in the horoscope. Accordingly, the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across good results of different type and quantum, depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.

Such benefic influence can especially prove very good when it comes to bless the native with good results through his professional sphere and more than that, when it comes to bless the native with top class authority in some government or in some private organization. This is one placement of benefic retrograde Saturn which when supported by the overall horoscope of the native in question, can bless him with power and authority of very high or that of the highest order. Accordingly some natives benefitting from this benefic influence may achieve different posts of power and authority by virtue of this benefic influence in the first house of their horoscopes. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can bless the native with a post of power and authority through politics or through some government service depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

Considering the case of power through politics first, if benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn and benefic Venus is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may pursue a career in politics, particularly after the age of 35. At the same time, if a combination of benefic Mars and Rahu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the success achieved by this native may increase many times and accordingly he may be able to see good results through politics. It should be noted that whereas a malefic combination of Mars and Rahu in the eighth house of a horoscope can form Manglik Dosh as well as Angarak Yog and trouble the native through them, a benefic combination of Mars and Rahu in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native with some of the most beautiful results related to many spheres of his life, provided his overall horoscope allows it.

Moving on, if a combination of benefic Sun and Mercury is present in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Saturn in first house, Venus in sixth house, a combination of Mars and Rahu in eighth house and a combination of Mercury and Sun in the seventh house of his horoscope may witness very good success through politics. Such native may win public elections and he may also become minister with a state government or even with a national government, more than once in his life and he is likely to be very popular among a big section of public. At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve even more success through politics as the addition of benefic as well as exalted Moon to the fifth house of this horoscope may improve the results a lot.

Accordingly the native may witness great success through politics and he may not only become minister with a state government, but he may also become the chief minister of a state more than once in his life or he may hold important ministries in the national government of a country, more than once in his life. These great benefic results can change into phenomenal benefic results if benefic Jupiter is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn along with benefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of this horoscope. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may now achieve phenomenal results through politics particularly after his age of 41 and he may now hold a post of the highest power and authority in a country. It means that the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may now become the prime minister or president of a country, provided his overall horoscope as well as the running times are supportive.

It should be noted that though Jupiter is debilitated in the sign of Capricorn and accordingly its results should be decreased in quantum when it is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the same may not happen and instead something of the opposite type may happen. It means that such benefic debilitated Jupiter may gain great power through benefic Saturn present in the first house of the same horoscope in the sign of Capricorn and as a result, NeechBhanga Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope of this native, by virtue of the presence of benefic debilitated Jupiter with the lord of its sign of debilitation, which is Saturn in this case. Hence the native under the effect of such powerful Neechbhanga Rajyoga as well as under the combined effect of all the benefic planets placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope may become the prime minister or president of a country.

It should be noted that though this native may achieve a post of the highest power and authority in a country, it may still confuse some people interested in the study of astrology as to which planetary combination in this horoscope is the leading or the most blessing combination and how do they know that such a Neechbhanga Rajyoga has actually been formed in this horoscope. The answer to this question is not very difficult and the following signs will help such people understand this horoscope. If Neechbhanga Rajyoga formed by benefic retrograde Saturn and benefic Jupiter is formed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn and if such Neechbhnaga Rajyoga is the leading yoga in this horoscope, the native is very likely to achieve great success and the post of highest power and authority not only after the age of 35 years but also when the main period of one of these planets is in influence.

It means that though this native may lead a very good life and he may achieve very good results through some other profession, he is not likely to witness top class success through politics before the age of 35 and when it comes to the best of these results which is a post of the highest power and authority in a country, the native may only achieve this result after the age of 41 and that also when a planetary period of Saturn or Jupiter is in influence. It means that such native may become the prime minister or president of a country only when the native is above the age of 41 and the planetary period of Saturn or Jupiter, which is known as Mahadasha in Vedic Astrology, is running. If both these conditions are satisfied, it is a clear cut indication that the native has been blessed by this post of the highest power and authority, primarily by virtue of such Neechbhanga Rajyoga in his horoscope as he has been blessed with this best possible result, during the main period of one of the two planets involved in such Neechbhanga Rajyoga, which are benefic retrograde Saturn and benefic Jupiter, in the first house of his horoscope in the sign of Capricorn.

Looking at the same example with different combinations, the presence of benefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can also bless the native with a post of power and authority in some government department depending on his overall horoscope. For instance, if benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, benefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Gemini and benefic Mars is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may become a police officer. Such native may directly get selected at a high rank in police force and he may also have a good career depending on the rest of his horoscope.

At the same time, if benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the equation may improve a lot and accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may get selected for the direct possible highest rank in police force. Such native may not only become a police officer of a high rank, but he may also have a very good career which is full of achievements and accomplishments. The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may become a fearless police officer and he may engage in great efforts initiated towards controlling the crime from society. As more benefic planets add to the horoscope of this native, he may achieve even better results under the combined effect of all such benefic planets.

Some other natives blessed by such benefic influence may achieve success through many other professional spheres depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement as well as depending on their overall horoscopes. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can bless the native with a career in politics, acting, writing, singing or in some other type of creative profession and accordingly the native may achieve success through one of these professions depending on his overall horoscope. For instance, if a combination of benefic retrograde Saturn and benefic Venus is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra and benefic Mars is placed in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic Moon, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a lead movie actor and he may achieve very good amount of success through this field of profession.

It should be noted that though benefic Mars placed in the tenth house of this horoscope is debilitated as it is placed in the sign of Cancer, the presence of benefic Moon which is the lord of Cancer, in the same house of this horoscope can cancel the debilitation status of such benefic Mars and once again, Neechbhanga RajYoga may be formed in the tenth house of this horoscope by a combination of benefic Moon and Mars. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of such Neechbhanga Rajyoga and the benefic combination of exalted Saturn and Venus in the first house of his horoscope may achieve very good amount of success as an actor. Such native may become a famous movie star and he may earn very good amount of money, fame, success and recognition as an actor. The presence of benefic Rahu in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini can enhance this equation and accordingly the native may become even more successful as a movie actor and he may also receive some formal awards for his acting in some of his movies.

Apart from this, benefic retrograde Saturn placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results through many other professions and it can also render good results related to the sphere of marriage, health and many other spheres, to the native under its influence. On the other hand, the presence of malefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native on many fronts of his life including marriage, profession and overall lifeline. Accordingly the natives suffering from this malefic influence may have to face problems of different type and different intensities depending on the type and strength of this malefic placement as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.

Some natives under the malefic effect of this influence may have to suffer from problems related to their professions where some of them may not be able to get a stable profession till late or very late in their lives, whereas some other such natives may not be able to achieve much success through their professions. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces can trouble the native on account of professional problems and accordingly the native may not be able to find a stable job or profession till late in his life. If malefic Rahu is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and a combination of malefic Sun and Mercury is present in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may not be able to find a stable profession till the age of 35 or even till the age of 41. As more negative planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of such malefic planets may have to suffer even more on the front of his profession.

Malefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope can also trouble the native on account of problems related to his health and accordingly some natives may suffer from health related issues, under the effect of this malefic influence. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can make the native interested in consuming high quantities of alcohol or some type of drug due to which, the native may have to suffer a lot not only on account of financial problems, but by virtue of health related problems also. At the same time, if malefic Venus is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and malefic Ketu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may become a drug addict and he may waste a big part of his money and health, by virtue of his drug addiction.

If malefic Jupiter is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo along with malefic Rahu, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may die at a young or very young age, due to overdose of drug or due to some fatal disease caused by the consumption of some drug in heavy quantity as well as on regular basis, unless there are some life saving planets in the horoscope of this native. For example, if benefic Moon is placed in the first house of this horoscope along with malefic retrograde Saturn and a combination of benefic exalted Sun and benefic Mars is present in the tenth house of this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may survive till an average age. Such native may become addicted to some drug during his early years due to the malefic effect of such retrograde Saturn in the first house and all other malefic planets, but he may get out of this addiction with some loss to his health and he may then start living a controlled and disciplined life after the age of 35, due to the benefic influence of all these benefic planets in his horoscope.
