Shani (Saturn)
Shani (Saturn) is the planet of karma and justice. It is the significator of discipline, patience, hard work, responsibility, longevity, the working class and long-term results. Saturn gives late, but what it gives lasts. In the birth chart, Saturn shows how much a person learns through effort and patience.
A Strong Shani
People with a strong Saturn are disciplined, hard-working, practical and players for the long run. They succeed in administration, law, construction, mining, iron, oil and the service sector.
A Weak Shani
A weak Saturn may bring laziness, delays or a lack of discipline. A regular daily routine, honest hard work and service to those in need strengthen it naturally.
