Mumbai: The Shani Mahadasha, or the major planetary period of Saturn, is often regarded as one of the most challenging phases in Vedic astrology. Lasting for a prolonged duration of 19 years, this period is known for testing individuals through various trials, karmic consequences, and internal turmoil. As the divine dispenser of justice, Lord Shani (Saturn) delivers outcomes strictly based on a person’s past and present deeds.
The effects of Shani Mahadasha vary depending on Saturn’s placement in the birth chart, its conjunction with other planets, and the specific houses it influences. Those undergoing this period may experience hurdles, delays, conflicts, emotional instability, and ongoing challenges in personal and professional life. Let’s delve deeper into the signs of this phase and the spiritual remedies believed to reduce its harsh impact.
When Does Shani Mahadasha Become Most Difficult?
The Shani Mahadasha becomes particularly distressing when accompanied by Saturn’s Sade Sati (seven-and-a-half-year transit) or Dhaiyya (two-and-a-half-year transit). These overlapping periods often intensify the karmic results, leading to severe life challenges, setbacks, and even health- issues.
Common Signs of Shani Mahadasha
- You may frequently lose valuable belongings, resulting in financial losses.
- It becomes harder to let go of harmful habits or addictions.
- Constant disputes and unrest may plague your household, with recurring arguments and emotional disconnection.
- Mental stress, anxiety, and inner conflict may persist without any clear reason.
Remedies during Shani Mahadasha
- Chant Shani Chalisa every Saturday and perform the aarti (prayer ritual) at a Shani temple for divine protection.
- Offer mustard oil (sarson ka tel) to Lord Shani at his temple every Saturday.
- Worship Lord Hanuman alongside Shani Dev. It is believed that Hanuman’s blessings can soften the stern influence of Saturn.
- Stay away from negative thoughts and avoid wishing harm upon others. Since Shani Dev rewards or punishes strictly based on karma, keeping your intentions pure is key to navigating this phase.
