Saturn:

Saturn or “Shani” as we call it, is the slowest planet in our solar system. Saturn is considered a judge among all the planets in Vedic astrology. This is the reason we fear Saturn because it will act according to our own Karma, if we have done good deeds we don’t need to fear as in that case, it will acquire a place of auspiciousness in our horoscope. But if we have done bad or evil deeds then Saturn is not going to spare us.

This is why Saturn is said to be one of the most inauspicious of all planets because we end up accumulating a lot of evil Karmas. Even in Puranas like Shiv Purana Shani did not spare Lord Shiva when he lost Sati the daughter of Daksh whom Lord loved and wanted to marry. Lord Shiva came under the influence of Saturn. Saturn is inauspicious during its transit or if there is a Sade Sati or Dhaiyya of Saturn which is painful. To resolve this you can perform remedies to reduce its malefic influence.

In Mahadasha of Saturn, these remedies are helpful in reducing mental sufferings. As per Vedic astrology, everybody who is under the influence of Sade Sati of Saturn suffers from various problems. Performing remedies and having faith in the planet resolves the problems to some extent and gives us the power to face the consequences.
