Saturn Homam – Wards Off Your Shani Doshas Forever
Saturn — The Most Dreaded Planet Of The Solar System:
If there’s one factor in one’s natal charts that needs to be feared, then it’s the effect of the awful Saturn or Shani. A yagya or homa invoking the planet on Shani Jayanthi keeps all bad omens away. It is said that the dreadful planet was born in the Jyeshta or Vaigasi (Tamil) month on an Amavasya or new moon day. This year it falls on 25th May, 2017.

The Impact Of Karma On Saturn:
A Saturn that is weak in one’s chart indicates laziness, fear and phobia. A Saturn that is favourable allows the person to be true, trustworthy and honest. A person with this planet’s influence keeps many things hidden and lives a secluded life. Saturn destroys the house it occupies, except if positioned in the seventh house, where it receives directional strength and any other houses it positions or any planet it conjoins or positions with. When well placed it gives its natives integrity, wisdom, spirituality, fame, patience, ability to lead, authority, long life, organisational abilities, sincerity, honesty, ...
... love of justice and awareness of right and wrong.

Saturn rules the direction west, Saturday is its day, black its colour and blue sapphire is the gemstone of Saturn. Saturn rules number 8 in Indian numerology. Shani as such is not as bad as it seems. It’s our own karma that makes it malefic, because it takes power from one’s own bad karma and gives results accordingly.
