Retrograde Saturn in 2nd House in Pisces
When retrograde Saturn is placed in the second house of a horoscope in Pisces, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Saturn rules the first and twelfth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the benefic part is higher, in most cases. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science?’.
Retrograde Saturn in the second house of horoscope in Pisces is benefic in many cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases. It may happen when such Saturn is influenced by one or more malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope. The concept of a benefic planet turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Saturn in the second house of a horoscope in Pisces can bless the native with good results related to health, lifespan, creativity, spiritual growth, family, wealth, speech, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Saturn can bless the native with good health and a long life, like beyond 70, 80 or 90, depending on his overall horoscope and running times. Such retrograde Saturn can also bless the native with creativity, spiritual growth, intuitive abilities, divine guidance and several other good results. It can render several good results to the native, related to or through his family. For example, the native may be born in a rich, influential, resourceful, well-respected, politically powerful, royal and/or spiritually advanced family, and he may witness several benefits by virtue of being a member of such family.
Looking at profession, such retrograde Saturn can help the native achieve success as a researcher, analyst, lawyer, astrologer, religious guru, teacher, preacher, consultant, actor, singer, musician, writer, dancer, sportsman, artist, architect, designer, developer, professional dealing in real estate industry, iron, steel, automobile, IT, health, pharma, fitness, media, finance, education, coaching, movie, television, music, sports, travel, food, hotel, airline, telecom, internet industry or some other type of professional, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Saturn can help the native achieve success as a police officer, army, air force, naval, revenue, administrative, foreign services officer, judge, doctor, scientist, engineer, politician or some other type of professional. Taking an example, suppose retrograde Saturn is placed in the second house of a horoscope in Pisces with benefic Rahu. Benefic Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with benefic Mars and benefic Ketu, Mercury is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio, Moon is placed in the seventh house in Leo, and benefic Venus is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may become a scientist. He may get a well-paying job of authority in a well-established institution, and he may enjoy a good career.
If benefic Sun is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio with Mercury, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess remarkable knowledge of his field, and he may come across very good amount of success, recognition and authority, along with good amount of money and fame. He may conduct research in fields like microbiology, genetics and biochemistry. After his age of 30, he may come across important discoveries. He may witness fame and recognition, he may receive several awards, and he may also receive big financial rewards. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, he may become one of the most successful scientists of his time, and he may win a Nobel prize.
On the other hand, malefic retrograde Saturn in the second house of a horoscope in Pisces can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, family, wealth, speech, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Saturn rules the first and twelfth house, and it is placed in the second house. If such Saturn is influenced by malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope, the native may witness delays, financial losses, setbacks, failures, job loss, bad reputation and several other problems related to or through his profession. He may also witness several types of problems related to or through his family members. He may witness various types of health problems which may trouble him, and they may reduce his lifespan. He may also witness reduction in lifespan due to several other reasons. For example, he may die in an accident, through a natural disaster, due to a fatal viral infection like COVID and/or due to drug addiction. Depending on his overall horoscope and running times, he may also get killed by someone, intentionally or unintentionally.
Taking an example, suppose retrograde Saturn is placed in the second house of a horoscope in Pisces with malefic Moon and malefic Rahu. Malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Mars, benefic Sun is placed in the fifth house in Gemini, and Venus is placed in the sixth house in Cancer with Mercury. In this case, the native may become a drug addict. He may suffer from problems related to health, profession, finances and family, and he may die before the age of 50 or 45.
If debilitated Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may consume harmful drugs in heavy quantities, on regular basis. He may not have a permanent profession throughout his life, and he may remain jobless for periods of more than 1 year, many times in his life. His first marriage may fail, and he may not get married again. He may die before the age of 35 or 30, due to drug overdose, or he may commit suicide.
