How deep are your roots - Your Saturn type decides

Saturn is an enigma that not many understand well. A well-placed Saturn in your horoscope is highly rewarding. Whereas a weak and malefic Saturn can bring about all sorts of hurdles and misfortunes in life. Hence, it is important to find out the 'type' of Saturn in one’s horoscope to understand if it is a friend or a foe.

There is no better teacher than Saturn as it doesn't leave you unrewarded for your righteousness and good karma. Saturn punishes too, so that you can embark on a course correction. In the process, it makes you undergo the biggest karmic transformation. A weak Saturn is the absence of good karma, honesty and determination in life. A strong Saturn gives you the ability to live with dignity and power, unruffled by the hurdles and challenges of life, just like a deep-rooted tree in a cyclone.

The benefic Saturn in the horoscope is the rewarding Saturn, the giver of long life, wealth, good partner, relationships, all comforts, and luxuries of life. The malefic Saturn, the punishing type, is the cause of delays, hurdles and brings accomplishments only after struggle.
