Bhuktis in Saturn Dasha:

• Saturn-Saturn Dasha:

When Saturn is exalted, in its own sign, placed in angles or the 11th house, or conjunct with the lords of the 5th and 9th houses from the Lagna, it indicates benefits from high officials, wealth, honor, conveyances, land and estates, victories over enemies, and success in litigation. However, the native still suffers from bodily pains. If Saturn is weak and placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna, it signifies displeasure from superiors, business losses, quarrels, dangers of ruin, loss from the wife, and foreign travel. It also leads to obstructions, asthma, nervous troubles, diseases of veins, separation from relatives, and loss of position. If Saturn is the lord of the 2nd or 7th house, it brings danger from poison and weapons, hemorrhage, tumors, dysentery, malignant growths, and lingering death.

• Saturn-Mercury Dasha:

When Mercury is exalted, in its own sign, or placed in angles from the Lagna or Saturn, it indicates a studious nature, fame, wealth, honor, conveyances, performance of yajnas, and success in competitions. The native may also produce literary works, listen to mythological classics, or undertake pilgrimages. Mercury's weak and afflicted position in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house leads to good results in the earlier part of the bhukti but to diseases, losses, restlessness, and fear of ruin in the later part. The native may become crafty and quarrelsome. If Mercury is the 2nd or 7th lord and afflicted, it may indicate death due to respiratory issues, such as cough or asthma.

The interaction of Ketu with Saturn has an adverse effect when Ketu is with the lords of good houses (trines). There is a change of place, a fear of poverty, restlessness, and anxiety about imprisonment, along with foreign travel and troubles for sympathizers. When Ketu is in angles, trines, or the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Saturn, it gives happiness, wealth, favor from superiors, but also causes uneasiness of the mind, digestive troubles, piles, malaria, blood contamination, bad dreams, dysentery, abscess, and danger of injury. Ketu in the 2nd or 7th house results in bodily pains and maraka effects.

• Saturn-Venus Dasha:

When Venus is in its own sign, exalted, or placed with benefics in angles or trines (or in the 11th house from Saturn), it signifies marriage, the birth of a son, attainment of health, wealth, and prosperity, and favor from superiors. There are chances for rise through benefactors, acts of philanthropy, and the native remains humble to friends, brothers, and subordinates. The native's wife remains happy, and they succeed in acquiring a high position. If Venus is weak and afflicted in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Saturn or the Lagna, it leads to family quarrels, conjugal unhappiness, loose morals, diseases resulting from sexual excesses, dangers from the sea, or a fall from a height.

• Saturn-Sun Dasha:

When the Sun is in angles, trines, or its own sign (or exalted), or placed in the 11th house from the Lagna or Saturn, it brings favor from older individuals, happiness from children, the birth of a male child, promotion, honor from the government, and a resort to high living. If the Sun is weak or afflicted in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, it leads to family quarrels, separation, rising enemies, digestive problems, eye troubles, and heart ailments, or even failure in endeavors. The Sun in the 2nd or 7th house causes fevers or similar afflictions.

If the Moon is weak or afflicted in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna or Saturn, it leads to the liability of an elderly woman, government penalties, family friction, anger, separation from the wife, stomach ailments, and mental depression. Saturn in the 2nd or 7th house can result in pain in the limbs due to excess wind in the body and subsequent dropsy.

The native may also suffer from acute infections and inflammatory conditions. Mars in maraka houses (the 2nd, 7th, or 8th house) signifies accidental death.

• Saturn-Rahu Dasha:

The Rahu bhukti brings mental distress, excess wind complaints, body pains, blood poisoning, worries, exile, loss of wealth, and mental aberration. It also brings a fear of losses from thieves, enemies, or the government. When Rahu is in conjunction with the Lagna Lord, or in trines or angles, or in the 11th house in signs like Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, it may indicate pilgrimages to holy places, mental satisfaction, prosperity, property, and general good health.
