Planetary periods in our lives are always individual and do not depend on the ascendant, lunar or solar sign. You can find out what planetary period a person is currently living through only by constructing a natal chart with the help of any website or take a help of an astrologer.
The beginning of life periods is determined by the planet-ruler of the birth Nakshatra. It is from this planet that the chain of planetary periods in life will begin.
Everything in our life is cyclical. And Vedic astrology takes into account the periods of life, which are called Mahadasha. Each person has their own, but what can be said for sure is that he will go through them all, but in his own time.
One of these periods is the Saturn period – this is the time when Saturn is the dominant planet in a person’s horoscope. This period lasts 19 years, which makes it one of the longest in Vedic astrology. Each period has its own sub-periods, but we will talk about them in other articles.
Saturn is the planet of transformation, discipline and karma. During the Saturn period, a person may face various challenges and trials that may be difficult but will contribute to his spiritual development.
Usually during this period people feel more mature and responsible, as if they have grown up by several years. At the same time, difficulties and limitations may arise in various areas of life – in work, relationships, health. But this is necessary so that a person can better understand his strengths and weaknesses, as well as accept the lessons that life gives him.
Also, during the Saturn Mahadasha period, the themes of time, loneliness and self-discipline often manifest. A person may feel that the world around him is becoming more serious and requires more effort from him. This is the time when he can make important decisions and begin to build his life on a more sustainable basis.
Saturn 🪐 in its planetary period gives us the most useful and most effective experience, the power of which cannot be compared with any planet. It destroys false ideals in our lives, leaving only the most valuable. Only it is capable of bringing to reason a person who has lost control over his desires, feelings and has completely immersed himself in the world of illusions of this world. Saturn “puts in place” quickly, harshly and for a long time.
No period can compare in its duration with the Saturn period. This is the time of “ripe” fruits, ripened karma, when a person receives in his life what he deserves. The duration of the large Saturn period is about 19 years.
The house in which Saturn is located determines what kind of tests a person will undergo during its period. It is also important to consider the houses that it rules in the natal chart. These are the houses with the signs Capricorn (10) and Aquarius (11). Events that occur during the Saturn period can largely concern these areas of life.

to say for sure that the Saturn period will bring only suffering and troubles.
It would be even more reasonable to be afraid of the approach of this period. Despite the fact that the pace of life and the solution of important issues may be delayed, and on the way to getting the result there may be big obstacles and difficulties, positive moments and happy events will certainly be in the Saturn period.
The result of the Saturn period will depend on the ascendant sign. On the natal position of Saturn in the horoscope. It is generally accepted that the more Saturn is affected and weakened in the natal chart, the worse its period will be. Conjunctions with other planets in the natal chart will also take place in the reflection of the results.
For example, Saturn, connected with Jupiter in the natal chart or Mercury, can make the Saturn period in a person’s life very interesting and joyful.
The Saturn period is the period of receiving the fruits of one’s activity. Saturn’s propitiation can in some way help soften the blows of fate that we ourselves have attracted into our lives. But the most basic practice during the Saturn period is the fight against one’s false ego, pride, and the development of acceptance and humility before the Creator.
