Debilitated Saturn in Third House
When debilitated Saturn is placed in the third house in a horoscope, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Saturn is benefic in the third house in some cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Saturn is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Saturn may become more malefic.
Since Saturn is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Saturn. If debilitated Saturn is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the third house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Saturn can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Saturn in the third house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Saturn can bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, reputation, authority, fame, siblings, colleagues, spiritual growth and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Saturn can help the native achieve success as a doctor, engineer, IT professional, scientist, lawyer, actor, singer, dancer, musician, writer, fashion designer, interior designer, web developer, video game developer, architect, sportsman, banker, astrologer, spiritual guru, religious guru, tantric, psychic, healer, numerologist, vastu expert, tarot reader, palmist, police officer, army officer, air force officer, naval officer, fire-fighting officer, revenue officer, judge, administrative officer, foreign services officer, education officer, medical officer, telecom officer, information and broadcast officer, aviation officer, transport officer, railway officer, politician, professional dealing in finance industry, stock market, IT, software, computers, education, media, movie, television, radio, social media, investment, real estate, liquor, casino, tobacco, hotel, airline, travel, sports, arms, pharmaceutical, medical, chemical, steel, automobile industry or some other professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose debilitated Saturn is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Aries. Benefic Venus is placed in the ninth house in Libra, benefic Mars is placed in the seventh house in Leo with Ketu, benefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Aquarius, benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house in Virgo and Moon is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may engage in the field of information and technology. He may start his own business related to the field of IT, and he may come across good amount of success, money and recognition through his profession. The native may witness good results after 30, better results after 35, and even better results after 40 and then 50.
If benefic Jupiter is placed in the ninth house in Libra with Venus, and Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Leo with Mars and Ketu, the equation may become better. Moon may form Vipreet Rajyoga in the twelfth house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may earn very good amount of success, money, recognition and fame through the field of IT. He may start his business before the age of 30 and he may witness more and more success with each passing year. By the age of 40 or 45, native’s business may grow to several countries of the world. If the finer factors and running factors are supportive, the native may own a business empire worth in billions, by the age of 55 or 60. He may get married to a beautiful woman but his first marriage may fail. He may get married again to a beautiful actor or some other creative professional, and his second marriage may sustain.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Saturn in the third house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Saturn in the third house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, profession, finances, reputation, siblings and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
In horoscopes with Aquarius ascendant, Saturn rules the first house and hence it represents native’s lifespan. Since Saturn is weak due to debilitation, the native may face problems related to his overall lifespan and/or health. Taking an example, suppose debilitated Saturn is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Aries with malefic Ketu. Malefic Rahu is placed in the ninth house in Libra with debilitated Sun, debilitated Venus is placed in the eighth house in Virgo, and debilitated Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn. Grahan Yoga is formed in the ninth house. In this case, the native may witness reduction in lifespan, and he may die before the age of 60, 50 or 40 due to a disease or in an accident, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Considering a variation, suppose malefic Moon and Mars are placed in the third house in Aries with Saturn and Ketu, and exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Venus. In this case, the native may die before the age of 40, in an accident. The native may witness a road accident and he may die on the spot. Depending on the finer factors and running times, the native may also get killed accidentally, like he may get killed in a crossfire between two rival gangs or that between criminals and police.
Looking at another variation, suppose the recent placements of Moon, Mars and Mercury are annulled. Suppose malefic Moon is placed in the ninth house in Libra with Sun and Rahu, exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Venus, and debilitated Mars is placed in the sixth house in Cancer. In this case, the native may die because of heart attack or some type of cancer, between his age of 40 and 50.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Saturn in the third house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
