Managing Shani's thought projections - a legacy of Negative Expectations

• War on *Doubt*!

• Catching subconscious negative projections of doubt and pessimism

• Avoid emotional suffering by capturing the originating thoughts

• Burning the Seeds of Karmic Fruit (Shani)

• resistance to charismatic charm

• scarcity of creative genius

• obligation to regulate children

Matters of kendra bhava-5 = frustrating and improve with neutrality

• Shani is frustrating in a trinal house

• Self-expression, speculation, creativity, procreativity, and politics cause anxiety

• Better results when Shani is uchcha, swakshetra, or in a rashi of Shukra

• Resistance to Romance, entertainment and amusement

• Celebrity and Fame

• Required Routines

• Occupations benefiting from this position

• Resistance to change in expressions of individuality and personal will

Benefits from Shani: Good results from Maturity, Discipline And Practice

Impact of Parashari drishti

Conforming to the lowest common denominator

Gospel of Luke, 11:34-35

Parashari drishti to domains: 7, 11, and 2.

• Shani Parashari drishti cast upon bhava 7, 11, and 2 slows the financial accumulations (2, 11) and brings a highly responsible, social-duty orientation into the marriage behaviors (7).

• See: dealing with the negative expectations of Shani in bhava-5
• All forecasts improve with planetary support from natural regulator of bhava-5 = Surya.

Better if Shani occupies a rashi of Shani, Shukra, or Budha. Better with any type of support from Shukra

Shani the Taskmaster functions best in Makara, Kumbha, and Thula, where He provides regulated charisma and mannerly children

Acceptance of Social Responsibility

Shani casts a strict and sober cloud of lawful conformity upon the normally bright light (Surya) of individual genius.

the native will be obliged to rehearse, repeat, and refine the formal structures that frame expression of creative genius.

Delays in the production of children, and much responsibility through them. Shani in 5 casting drishti upon 9 = Limited permission for amusement (5) and travel-adventure (9) which have no social purpose but are purely expressions of the brilliantly curious Self.

Politicians with Shani-5 are oppressed and constrained by corporate or institutional interests

• Ronald Reagan

Performing artists with Shani-5 are almost constantly engaged in rehearsal, and they may suffer the consequences of excess formalism or perfectionism resulting in exhaustion from overwork in an expression of human genius that is, for most other people, an expression of individual brilliance and delight.

• Catherine Zeta-Jones
• Shakira,
• Amitabh Bachchan
• Marilyn Monroe

• Otherwise, unrelenting labor in a circle of students, a band of entertainers, a crowd of politicians, a gaggle of literati.

In childhood, Shani in 5 may impose strict expectations of social conformity upon the self-promoting intelligence of the immature personality.

To the growing child it seems to be in one's pragmatic self-interest to display (5) qualities of non-centrality, lawfulness, conformity, and conventionality in the expression of personal intelligence and charm. Only the most highly structured and supervised forms of creative play are allowed. Romance is acceptable only as a brief and innocent precursor to marriage, and romantic love that damages the sober public reputation may be punished by social censure. (Shani in Mesha: punished by brutal force.)

the native must accept responsibility in place of romance; diligence in place of drama; and sobriety in place of self-expression. Children become the justification for marriage, and social responsibility is the ultimate justification for children. Unless Surya is very bright and auspicious, there may be very little pure delight in this life.

Shani-5 does not prevent getting rich. Shani and Shukra are the very closest of friends. Any influence between them will generate wealth, artistic talent, and social grace. However with duteous Shani in divinely intelligence and joyful 5, regardless of the external luxury, there is little real joy in life.

bhava-5 = the dysfunctional 6/8 from vyaya-bhava 12

• The charisma is envisioned to arise from one's clandestine relationships (12), affiliation with distant lands (12), bedroom permissions (12), prayerfulness (12), or access to special spiritual guidance (12).
• In one's own mind, the native knows something remarkable, and this uniqueness supposedly proves their remarkable personal intelligence or validates their role as a conduit for divine intelligence.
• The purported entitlements from this specialness may cause jealousy or animosity (6) toward others' intellectual brilliance. One may feel obliged to criticize (6) and suppress (Shani) the creative output of others, even while access to intellectual creativity is secretly (8) coveted.
• The situation becomes acute for Kanya lagna, from which the natural rashi of 5 Simha becomes the rashi of vyaya bhava and Shani-5 = Makara. One may have an unaccountably regal and autocratic self-concept which does not at all match (6/8) the regularized lifestyle and mundane social status.

Obligation to Regulate Creative Performance and Centralize Governing Authority

One experiences a powerful sense of duty to order and regulate the functions of theatrical performance, political empowerment, and central, regal iconic personality roles such as stage-actor, product-brand representative (Bill Gates Microsoft software, Ronald Reagan General Electric, Ted Turner Turner Network, CNN) political exponent (Gloria Steinem) or literary-creative figure (Rabindranath Tagore, Josemaria Escriva).

Stamina, Endurance, Delay

the native is possessed of stamina and endurance in matters of bureaucratic political process, showing a remarkable capacity to endure long meetings with creative directors or fellow performers (5); endless conferences with attorneys and advisers (7), and drawn out legal proceedings (7, 9) including decisions made in family council (2).

Due to Shani's drishti upon 7 (law courts) resolution of lawsuits is inherently delayed (not denied). Delays in global travel combined with resistance to religious education (9) plus delayed accumulation of stored values (money, food, knowledge) = 2.

Remarkable persistence through political difficulties. The above assessment must be altered if there are significant graha in Simha, which would increase the self-centeredness and enhance one's entitlement to fun and adventure.

Personal change = resistance

Wherever Shani goes He is essentially reactive not proactive.

Typically Shani's bhava will indicate the area of life toward which the native is full of social duty but resistant to the suggestion that one may accept a deeper personal responsibility for regulating one's own thoughts and emotions.

One reacts with dignified stasis to the pressures of fast-changing children and personalities with solipsistic ego by imposing the rule of common sense and the law of precedent. If a new idea has not been tried before, it will not be attempted now. There is little willingness (Surya, enemy of Shani) to consciously change the heavy circumstances via empowered re-structuring of the thoughts. the native tends to accept the psychic limitations upon children, creative power, and romantic amusements. One tolerates very little authentic (Ravi) personality change.

No Fun Allowed (or very little)

Putra bhava the natural house = swabhava ofShani's enemy Surya = a very difficult location as life's delights from entertainment and amusement are largely squeezed out by social duty. Even romance quickly turns into a social rank-and-position performance charade.

Shani's dark stony cold in 5 is the very antidote to Surya's brilliant and unrestricted, autocratic, confident, creative intelligence. the native does not feel free to choose one's own performance style but rather will conform to the expectations of social-institutional authorities.

As a result of constrained individual self-expression, Shani in a favorable rashi in 5 = conservative conformist politically-neutral style = Success in large corporations and government bureaucracies.

When Shani occupies the natural house = swabhava ofgames and entertainments, one general has very little amusement in life. Theatre, politics, and creative literature lose their pleasure quotient and instead become responsibilities of the working professional life./p>

• Entertainment, creative performance: Shakira has the easier Makara placement; therefore her creativity style is well-fitted to the expectations of corporations and governments. However similar to Winston Churchill , Shani will not fail to deliver a heavy workload in the literary and performance arts. Shakira signed a 10-year contract to produce or purchase a fixed amount of lyrics, and to perform a rigorous concert schedule around the world.

• Literature and fine-art painting: Rabindranath Tagore had the difficult placement of Shani-Simha.

• Winston Churchill had the easier Makara placement; after a somewhat frustrating career in war journalism, and a very demanding era as Prime Minister, Churchill chose to write mainly about History and Government. While the workload arising from the mountains of factual detail and careful analysis of it was no doubt heavy, Shani's concern with Time and Law was satisfied and thus conflict regarding creativity is reduced.

• Politics-entertainment: Ronald Reagan was famously beholden to large, wealthy corporate interests during his entire career.

One rarely experiences true autocracy; one rarely gets to do precisely what one wants to do. Social safety, and the interests of large corporations, institutions and governments must dominate the experience of creative performance.

Much as one may love one's children, the child-raising style is tightly structured, children's activities create burdensome time schedules, and raising them to adulthood is a heavy responsibility.

Performance Anxiety. Fear and worry regarding the Theatrical or political stage.

Must work to earn validation of the individual genius. Works to be fully approved, in compliance, and judged perfect under the rule of human law. Yet survival fears based in past-life karma enforce the mandate to perform this work over and over again, until the ignorance is transformed into wisdom.

" Not brilliant enough " syndrome.

• the native 's lifetime creativitymay be heavily routinized or tightly contained.

Habits of creating from personal genius, giving birth to brilliant little human beings, and general entitlement to be in the bright center of thingsare resistant to change. the native who wishes to change one's style of romance and literary intelligence, will find such a project to be slow-going and demanding much time.

Try as one might to change the package of attributes, one's heavily regulated schedule will continue to deny adventure.

Good results: the hands, arms, and shoulders will change very little over time. One may have a surprisingly youthful appearance in these body parts as a result. These parts look old or world-weary(Shani) in the first part of life, but because Shani resists change, they may look surprisingly "timeless" in elder years.

Children are delayed but not necessarily disallowed. Typically, in rashi that are hospitable to Shani, children do materialize however they create conditions of scarcity. Not deprived of children but rather oppressed or burdened by material responsibilities toward them.

Native may experience resentment regarding the limitations upon enjoyments that are imposed by one's social obligations (Shani) toward the children. Romantic love seems unreachable, and marriage settles into a dutiful work program. Children are raised 'properly' according to the strictures of the culture, and when SHani is even reasonably well disposed the children generally turn out to be good citizens, effective workers, structured and reliable personalities -- but there is little sincere happiness in the task of child-raising. However, a favorable placement for Chandra (parenting) could eliminate all but the most difficult karma in this placement. Chandra in 11 can remediate the laborious, scarcity-effect of children very completely. As usual, many factors must be considered.

If a procreative delay is experienced, there is some karma of ignorance or resistance which must be transformed into wisdom, before children are granted. Guru periods are fertile and expansion.

Mature parenting style. If Shani is uchcha ( Gates ) may have tremendous compassion and deep sense of duty toward all children.

When born, children are materially demanding and cause the native to acquire much personal discipline and/or resentment (depending on consciousness). Promotes high standards in creative skills aspect of education. Not a conformist but a perfectionist in creative endeavors.

If Shani is not well-disposed, or the native is immature emotionally, children may be perceived as a burden rather than a gift. Depending on role of Budha, this native may encounter obstacles to successful communicative relationships with children. The intelligence is somewhat blunted by material survival concerns, either for oneself or for those toward whom one bears responsibility.

If in government service, heavy service duties toward children and "government (Shani) intelligence (5)".

• Churchill

Agents of approval, admiration, applause = government, state authority, hierarchical leaders.

Rank, leadership responsibilities, and social visibility are the primary means of gaining ego-validation, attention and approval.

Perfectionism in Creative Performance

Shani brings psychological perfectionism wherever He goes, and when He goes into the realm of performance arts (including child-raising) He brings a karmic emphasis on accomplishment and completion to that house.

Perfectionism and very high standards toward children, romance, creativity, genius, performance arts, politics, gambling, games and amusements.May result in severe performance anxiety even when the native is sincerely gifted ( Marilyn Monroe). The particular type of resisted amusement will be indicated by the rashi and any companion graha.

"Resistance to amusement" results in the need to limit whatever "fun" is available in life to games, children, and genius expressed mainly in the context of work.The creative behaviors, such as they are, become highly structured.(Great for architects and design engineers.)

Speculative developments in finance and investment, creative expressions in literature, theatre and politics, relationship to children, and emergence of knowledge of divine intelligence is fundamentally stubborn, responsible, conservative Andslow.

Ironically, the native is so busy working and carrying public responsibilities that there is no time to enjoy the entertainments and celebrations of life. Not a fun person to be around. Extremely conservative and responsible toward children.

Children become a significant material responsibility. (If Shani is ill-disposed, children become a genuine burden.) Delay in producing children due to worry (Shani) about lack of TIME (Shani) to raise them. LoveRomance, when it occurs, is Oppressedby heavy material responsibilities and social obligations.

Creativity may be expressed only in tightly controlled, socially validated channels.

Good position for an architect, arts administrator, stage manager, theatrical planner and organizer. Benefits those who must carefully manage expressions of theatre, art, politics and children's creativity, in order to maintain conservative control over the forward path of human genius

= an "intelligence functionary" who works within the socially approvedsystem for regulatingindividual creative expression and speculative ventures. This person must apply sustained effort with limited resources (Shani)oward the maintenance of conditions supporting the literary, artistic, theatrical, political, philosophical and other speculative geniusthat spearhead the advance of civilization.

Much preparation and applications of research toward profitable actions in the marketplace (11).

Great effort expended in the task of educating oneself about world history. Work on cultural histories and ancient legacies of value (financial, philosophical, linguistic, musical, aesthetic), and the lineage record-keeping of one's people (2).

The spouse is a hard worker. Socially, the marriage relationship emphasizes lawfulness and regularity of habit while reducing romance, fashion, entertainments and amusement.

Some difficulties will be overcome by persistent effort (Shani).

Nature of the difficulties is determined by whether and how much Shani's drishti into yuvati bhava is welcomed. Shani's drishti into 7 is neutral in most cases but it is an oppressive experience for the Vrishabha and Thula lagna where Mangala Maturation required before obtaining agreement in marriage (7), community/ fruit-attainment (11), and the family history (2).

Deep sense of responsibility for children.

Children although well-mannered may impose a heavy burden on the native 's ability to receive validation for personal literary and artistic expression. One may receive a degree of social justification from completing the task of child-rearing but the process contains relatively little pure joy.

Whenever Shani is involved with putra bhava -- in 5, 8, 11, or 3 -- the Lord of Karma overwhelms the delight (Surya) of having children.

One loves one's children of course. Yet the karmic response to shaping and supporting their social-material lives results in a heavy sense of responsibility and routine + a corresponding reduction in speculative games and amusements.

When Shani occupies 5 one sees the children as adults-in-the-making rather than pure brilliant containers of Divine Light. It feels utterly necessary to provide them with proper structure, routine, and drill toward the ultimate goal of their adult social acceptance.

Troubles of the Children

In the most difficult cases one may inherit a troubled child from a previous marriage and accept the burden of providing structure and routine for this being. A late-acquired (Shani) child = naturally resistant to a second and often more strict (Shani) set of performance rules.

• Catherine Zeta-Jones, Shani-5 = neechchamsha. Eldest child = her stepson by marriage to actor-producer Michael Douglas = child's social behavior problems, criminal prosecution. Also Shani = her L-3 mental health = bipolar disease diagnosis

Responsibilities for the children can become so weighty that opportunities for romance, creative self-expression, political empowerment, and just having fun are simply extinguished like a fire snuffed by a load of ashes.

Often the work-tasks bring one into a highly politicized or theatrical environment where one acquires responsibilities for the orderly governance of entertainers or electioneers .

• Ronald Reagan long term president of Screen-Actors guild

Even the native who (due to other graha) becomes the main center of attention will be tasked with a heavy burden of responsibilities for regulating the entire stage production. The more complex and long-running the show, the more material effort required of the native in constant ordering and governing duties.

Core Practice Environments which require repetitive drill and careful study:

• no help from one's own children; limitations upon the delights of creative self-expression; much invalidation from romantic lovers; suppression of individual intelligence (5)

  • in return, some benefits from government and corporations associated with government

  • social approval in child-raising as the children are gifted and well-mannered; however their concerns are material not emotional, and the parents may feel unloved by their offspring

• the spouse + those who make contractual agreements (7) = strict compliance with rules of marriage; no more, no less

• marketplace conditions, friends, nature of one's goals (11)

• one's own family history, the spouse's family (in-law's), spouse's wealth, one's native language (2)

Effects

When Shani/5 brings good fortune: for Vrishabha and Mithuna lagna, Shani becomes lord of dharma bhava. For Vrishabha and Mithuna, Shani/5 creates a Dhana yoga that is generally auspicious not only for money but other varieties of wealth as well = L-9 in putra bhava.

Generally distrust of spontaneity in children and free expression of creative intelligence. Imposes strict routines and detailed calendars upon the children's environment.

Negative expectations regarding the outcome of the child-conception, child-birth, and child-raising processes. Difficulty in conceiving children, or heavy expenses in their upbringing. Much physical and moral work involved in raising children, focused inordinately on discipline, inculcation of responsibility and reinforcement of routine. A sober and suspicious view of creativity in general, expressing an aesthetic preference for strict lines, austere forms, and cold space. Imposes the law of the majority upon the tastes of the minority. May be a gifted engineer or clean-up agent in environments where amusement , frivolity, or personal uniqueness have become overgrown.

Bodes poorly for life's social relationships. Shani casts His harshest 3rd and 10th aspects upon marriage/agreements (7) and networks of friendships (11), plus the lesser but still troublesome 7th aspect upon speech, wealth, samskara (2). The common ground in most relationships is duty and work. (Naturally if there are beneficial graha in 2, 7, or 11 the situation may be relaxed.)

One does not expect "lucky breaks", easy winnings, or happiness in romance. Negative expectations in these areas are generally met.

Restricts access to supportive marriage partner, community, and birth family. This person does not expect to flower easily. They expect to carry the burden in marriage, community and family. Low permission levels "Fun" and easy good fortune charismatic self-expression, including children and creative works.

Can prevent children entirely, but just as often will make children a major burden due to no help with child-raising from spouse (7), friends/community (11), or one's own birth family (2).

Shani = frustrating in a trinal house

Shanaicharya is most comfortablein the natural houses of:

• His friend Budha (3,6),

• His friend Shukra (2, 7), and in

• swakshetra (10, 11).

Results are not ideal in the trinal housesruled by Shani's enemies Kuja (1), Surya (5), and Guru (9)

Self-expression and creativity (also procreativity) anxiety

• Self-expression, speculation, creativity, procreativity, and politics cause anxiety

  the native feels a conservative constraint in regard to self-expansion. There may be trouble producing children, or pressure of scare resources while raising them. Children and creative projects such as literary works are often much delayed.

• Shani insinuates qualities of ignorance, resistance and resentment into the character of speculative activities such as gambling, stock investing, political contests, theatre, entertainments, and romance.

• Shani may reduce or eliminate the healing presence of lovers and children.

Good results from uchcha, swakshetra, or a rashi of Shukra

• Exceptions:when Shani is uchcha, swakshetra,or in a rashi of Shukra, in bhava-5, the situation is much alleviated. In these situations (Shani in Thula, Makara, Kumbha, or Vrishabha) the general effect = strong discipline and structure in literary, political, speculative, and procreative effects, with emphasis on hard work and rule of law in the areas of children and other expressions of divine intelligence.

• the native is not lacking in intelligence or creative output; however, the material circumstancesof the relationship with children andvery close studentsmay be somewhat straitened.

  One tends to constrain the independent originality within a regime of responsibility and rules. The child or lover may become a task-masterwho demands much structured effort from the native .

• Personal faith, confidence in divine guidance, and romantic love(esp. the love of children) are shaped by forces that emphasize a steady work schedule, self-discipline and delayed gratification.

Limits on entertainment and Amusements

• In bhava-5 and even more so in rashi of Surya, Kuja, and Guru,

  • Shani limits the natural confidence of this "bhagya" house.

• Shani may impose a condition of servitude or poverty in matters of gambling,

  • creating losses in the casinoor or speculative financingventures.

• Shani in bhava-5 applies a rigid, principled, rule-driven code of behaviorregarding children.

• As a child, one experienced constraint of one's romantic and creative nature. Young romanceandexpressions of willfulnessin youth may have been bitterlysuppressed.

• Shani in bhava-5 provides a general karma of distrust toward one's natural capacity to channel divine intelligence - i.e., a distrust of natural faith. the native may be deeply skeptical of the intentions of others.

• Publicity and public relations campaign should be managed with economyand attention to legal detail. the native may forego the quick ego-boost of personal flattery from fame and publicity efforts, choosing to maintain a more proletarian image.

• Or the ego attachment to fame may express through the proletarian hero type. (esp in Mesha)

• If born into royalty, or other inherited celebrity status, a concerted attempt to reduce media exposure.

Managing negative thought projections - a challenge created by Shani in bhava-5.

Most of us are unconscious victims of the tremendous Traffic of thoughtswhich parades through the human mind minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour.

The average life is, unfortunately, quite wasted in the effort to follow one's thoughts. Many incarnations are spent completely, in a frenzy of urgent desire, without any moment of "awakening" into enquiry. It is indeed a blessing to even begin to wonder about the suspicious origins of these urgent "mandates" and "directions" emitting from the Mind.

One often hears of bitterness and regret expressed at the moment of death, "I wish I had spent less time chasing my thoughts, and more time appreciating my children and the genius of human creativity and noticing God."

• hat sounds terrible, doesn't it? It sounds like the native has no support in life. But at a profound psychological level, it's true. Shani in bhava-5 oppresses children, and casts drishti upon spouse (7), friends (11) and family (2). This native feels that they must achieve whatever they are capable of in this life, pretty much alone.

• If Shani = yuti Ketu in arashi hostile to Shani, children are denied. the native may feel alienated from the spouse, but strong duty toward the institution of marriage. One cannot feel connected to romance, entertainments and amusements.

  Excellent planetary yoga for the celibate religious.

Resistance toward individuality and personal will

• the native experiences lifelong resistanceto independent, individual faith in the divine will operating through each person. the native requires confirmation of one's own intuitive trust in the divine by socially authorized validators: a publicly recognized guru, pastor, rabbi, imam, or other external authority. There is limited to no permission for personal, unmediated apprehension of divine will.

• Naturally the native is more comfortable in conservative and hierarchical religious settings where institutional discipline of the will is a featured expression of moral behavior. the native prefers to conform the expression of one's own intelligence to the rule of law within the group. Excellent position for life in monastic communities.

• Favorable positions of Shani augur mature acceptance of a degree of human willfulness within a culture of communal discipline. Sainthood may be indicated; austerity is certainly a keynote of the incarnation.

• Shani in a favorable rashi in bhava-5 = success in through staminain advancing civilization through bringing arts to the people. If the native is involved somehow in politics, entertainment, or literary publication, one brings a high level of craft expertise to the production, and a persistent focus on the lowest common denominator in the audience. Truly an author for the people.

  • Success of publications arrives later in life, if at all.

  (All of the above situations can be alleviated somewhat for lagna that are friendly to Shani, such as Thula lagna Vrishabha lagna, Kanya lagna and possibly Mithuna lagna too.)

Matters of bhava-5 are constrained by scarce resources and improve with neutral acceptance of limits

• Shani is happier in the natural houses of Shani's friends: Budha AndShukra.

  • Therefore Shani's negative expectations

• All things connected to Shani in favorable rashi will improve slowly, with maturity and commitment to the cultural education process. Early results are delayed, but later results are favored.

• Shani in Mesha, Simha, and Vrischika is gripped by survival fear Andextremely defensive. hese positions might not improve unless other graha are very supportive.

Benefits from Shani: Good results from Discipline and Practice

In a favorable rashi, Shani-drive repetition and practice in the basic disciplined expression of literary Andoratorical stylewill produce excellent results in bhava-5. (

When Shani occupies bhava-5, there is little room for fond sentiment in matters of children, personal intelligence, entertainments, romance, or speculation. the native has a very pragmatic and often humorless approach toward self-expression.

It is not easy to be an individual because the charismatic heart is oppressed by social duty, chores, work schedule, and excessive structure is imposed upon expressions of creativity.

However a good placement for architecture, structural engineering, analytical philosophy, and other disciplines wherein the structure of creativity is a measure of its utility to students and clients.

Children are delayed and separated from the native , usually due to one's work duties, but they are not denied. Raising of difficult children is made easier by the native 's imposition of a tightly predictable, reliable activity structure which can help those children who need extra routine indeed feel more secure.

• If Shani yuti Ketu, the normal home routine in child-raising can be nearly paramilitary in its strictness yet during Ketu periods the entire lawful system collapses, and the family goes on a wander with no fixed bedtimes, no regular meals etc.

Native with Shani-5 is typically somewhat alienated from the romantic, literary, self-glorifying attitude that is so widely celebrated in modern culture.

One may be seen as lacking creative enthusiasm, personal inspirationand perhaps unloving. The self-narrative is rather conformist.

The personality is not damaged, but individualized creative trajectory is replaced by group survival concerns such as equitable distribution of resources, group protection, etc. As a result, the native is more of a communal supporter and less motivated to seek fame or praise for personal behaviors. However one may be very skillful in obtaining praise for the group.

Typically children are not part of the lifestyle, but if they are, the children will also be disciplined into the Austere routines preferred by the native . Due to blockage on attachment to individuality, the children will be presented with behavioral standardswhich may not be ignored.

the native is typically an excellent worker in the creative or performance arts, in some modest service capacity. Their need for routine coordinates very effectively with the employer's need for regular attendance and reliable performance.

In particular this native derives security from large hierarchical organizations which specifically dictate the behavioral protocolsfor its members. the native does not wish to experiment or dramatize.

Occupations benefiting from this position

If Shani's rashi is favorable, the native 's dignity Andcomportment in public lifewill conform perfectly to the elegant, modest social standard of the native 's culture. Order and appropriateness are valued; innovation and individual deviation are not approved.

• Excellent for professional, skilled workers in large, routine-driven organizations, corporations, institutions concerned with the fine and performance arts, with political campaigns, with children and the development of personal creativity.

• the native gives structured, high-craft support to the group initiative toward expressions of divine intelligence, but the native 's actions are conformed to the group will. If Shani has a favorable relationship to Shukra, especially strong contribution to organizations concerned with the design arts, social justice, and the rule of law.

• the native gives structured, high-craft support to the group initiative toward expressions of divine intelligence, but the native 's actions are conformed to the group will. If Shani has a favorable relationship to Shukra, especially strong contribution to organizations concerned with the design arts, social justice, and the rule of law.

Shani's job is to inculcate personal responsibility (without guilt) and neutral acceptance of the karmic process.

• Domains occupied or aspected by Shani become the primary agents of of Taskmaster Shani'smission: to convert ignorant errorintocalm wisdom.

• Shani will do "whatever it takes" to command the native 's attention. Shani will recall the native over and over to a central difficulty, a repeating failure, or an insurmountable obstacle. Matters of the houses owned or aspected by Shani will mechanically - from the unconscious mind - produce , unfair, disappointing, and deprived results.

• Shani's impact on life experience is painful and frustrating but, in the end, extremely beneficial. The pain can be reduced dramaticallythrough neutral awareness and acceptance of the role one plays in creating one's own destiny.

The conscious human has less control over the flow of events, and more control over how one reacts to those events. Once the native has established a pattern of calm Andnon-judgmental reactionto the flow of events, Shani's job is done- and the pain stops! (The events continue but they just roll past...)

he faster one can achieve neutral awareness of one's own negative expectations, the faster one can eliminate the pain.

Unfortunately for the slow learner, Shani will give all the "time" necessary to repeat the lesson. For those of us who live a bit behind the curve of total wisdom, it is valuable to be aware of the most acute effects of Shani.

With forewarning, one can address these "scheduled" negativities, as they arise, with consciousness. One can meet each well-timed disappointment with a deeper commitment to forgiveness, acknowledgement andrelease.

Impact of Parashari drishti

7, 11, 2

Shani's negative, pessimistic, fearful, scarcity-oriented, survival-driven, and faith-lacking impact from bhava-5Parashari drishti houses 7, 11, 2.

This drishti pattern gives negative expectationswhich produce restriction, interruption, And delayin matters of:

• bhava-7 = ability to access the equality, empathy, mutual welfare, agreement, balance, and authentic participatory democracy between mates

• bhava-11 = ability to engage in marketplace operations, making connections between diverse individuals, creating networks of association and community development, fund-raising, and large gatherings such as melas and fayres

• bhava-2 = ability to enjoy family history, money, lineage values including visual art and music, collections and hoards, keeping of records, history, and the voice

• bhava-5 = ability to immerse oneself in the enjoyment of children, literary and oratorical arts, publishing, entertainment, speculation, and romance.

o increase the chances of happiness in this life, one born with Shani in bhava-54 must remain particularly *vigilant* against the onslaught of Shani's legacy of negative expectations upon the realms of personal uniqueness and creative interaction with the social environment.

However Shani's pressure toward conformity with "lowest common denominator" standards is beneficial for sustaining one's public dignity in matters of child-raising, creative arts expression, marital conduct, marketplace connections, and original family identity..

Strong, favorable grahain these domains will significantly overridethe prognosis for frustration and interruption in domains 5, 7, 11 and 2. Yet the presence of Shani's drishti will be subtly noticeable. E.g., total blockage may turn to delay, or material handicap may manifest as psychological resistance - but Shani's karmic drishti will never be completely erased.

When Shani occupies bhava-5, the native must be alert to the extended relationship between:

• the domains aspected by Shani

and

• the domains which give their "results" in the bhava that receive Shani's glance: , 7-marriage, 11-friends, and 2-family-line.

In other words, the "seed" houses will appear to be running more slowly because the "fruits" houses are impacted.

bhava-2 receives the delaying glance of Shani-in-5

11th-from-4th = the fruits of 4 = bhava-2

therefore, matters of 4 "feel" slowed down or retarded. It is only a presumption because the roots of 2 are not themselves impacted. Yet because the fruits of 4 = dhana bhava = slowed, the native also feels that 4-things are not developing. Jyotishi may hear a complaint that one's education (4) or home life (4) are constrained and wonder what is the source of that complaint when Shani resides in 5. Well, it is a mixing of effects of the roots + the fruits of a situation, between which many people cannot discriminate.

Shani-5 may be perceived to slow the progress of establishing a home (4), completing exams (4) license or diploma (4), property titles (4) fencing and defense of properties (4) one's parents (4) socializing education, property ownership, and full social security (4) . Financial profit (11) from investment in professional education (4) is limited or occurs only later in life.

Upon deeper analysis, it can be seen that

• The fruits of schooling (4), profits from ownership of buildings (4) and vehicles, and of investment in the local cultural customs = delayed by rigid, materialistic mentality = negative expectations = depression. Due to Shani drishti upon 3, one may expect limited or no benefit to come of the matters of bhava-3. And so, little comes.

11th-from-9th = the fruits of 9 = bhava-7

• bhava-9 appears to get slowed down or retarded. It is harder to get fast fruits from bhava-9 when bhava-7 receives the drishti of Shani

• the results of world travels, affiliation with international organizations, religious training, performance of priestly duties, temple pilgrimage, university professorship, and moral teachings (9) are delayed. bhava-9 projects its wishes and goals (11th-from) upon bhava-7.

• bhava-7 contains many Oppressive, forced conformity experiences for the native due to the existing Shani drishti.

• Yuvati bhava's program to develop balanced, mutually supportive, agreement-based relationships will show the effect of reduced expectations. the native often chooses a low-risk, secure marriage path based on one's minimal expectations for success of a flamboyant or visionary approach to the core relationship.

• bhava-7 is constrained by Shani drishti. Therefore t the nativeexpects the fruits of bhava-9 to be barren, "not possible" or "going nowhere".

• Shani's impact onShukra's natural house = swabhavais however not so difficult to manage.Careful risk management o the extent of severe risk aversion give good results inmarriage And core social exchange relationships. Excellent for career longevity. Supports the native in staying with the same spouse, attorney, physician, and belief system for the duration of a lifetime.

bhava-11 receives the delaying glance of Shani-in-5

11th-from-1st = the fruits of 1 = bhava-11

• large networks of association and networks of conceptual thought(11) are impacted by drishti of Shani from 5

• Bhava-1 projects its wishes and goals (11th-from) upon bhava-11. bhava-11 is blocked or slowed by Shani drishti.

• Because the native expects the fruits of bhava-1 to be barren, "not possible" or "constrained by conformity to the group convention", the Origination of the fruits in bhava-1 (social personality and physical appearance) is also experienced as slowed, constrained, or unproductive.

• he physical appearance will be perceived as changing very slowly. Body image fluctuates only within the socially conventional range, and the native will not expect to be recognized as a distinctive or unique entity in their setting.

• Shani's drishti to a natural house = swabhava ofShani is not overly problematic.

• A lifetime of slow and careful development of a network of conventional interlinking associations, through business, religion, family connections, education, etc., is a typical and non-controversial path. Profitability is steady barring other adverse conditions re: bhava-11. However there will be no flashy, short-term success; no "big wins"; no remarkable coups.

Conforming to the lowest common denominator:

Oppression in literary, oratorical, and speculative arts, the theatre, children and romance [all forms of unique personal expression

• bhava-5 = physical, emotional, social, and mental "intelligence". Includes all venues of individual performance toward an audience:theatre, politics, speculative ventures, adventure of all forms, romance, and extraordinary acts of confidence.

• When Saturn does His worst in bhava-5, there is complete annihilation of the individual intelligence, and the native is chained to lockstep conformity with the initiative of the group. All "unique" expression is attributed to the group (Shani) not the individual (Surya).

• Shani forces interactions with children to be Orderlyand to conform to the lowest common denominator.

  • If the children are perceived to be excessively willful, they will be punished - on principled expectation that such punishment is preparing them morally to accept the strictures of adult life.

• Conservative mode of self-expression. Proletarian or staunchly middle class values in the self-image projection. Dark or neutral colored clothing. Variation from the set "law and order" norm in personal costume is discouraged or punished. "Good behavior" is required: no exceptions.

• Coaches, guides, and mentorsmay impose a tightly rule-drive, controlled behavioral style upon the native in childhood, and withhold their affection unless the child conforms to standards that emphasize order, quiet and self-restraint.

Seed and fruit

Shani in bhava-5 contains the belief that the "seed" of a fully realized unique expression of divine intelligence is not viable.

Therefore in one's total thinking about contractual relationships, large networks of association, and stored values (esp. money), these negative expectations will limit one's faith in setting higher goals.

As usual a strong graha occupying bhava-2, 7, or 11 can mitigate Shani's drishti, perhaps reducing the strength of the limitations from blockage to resistance, or changing severe handicap to mere inconvenience.

In any case, Shani's 10th drishti onto bhava-2 is not so strong as Shani's 3rd drishti onto bhava-7.

• Importantly, all matters impacted by Shani improvewith maturity and self-knowledge.

Obligatory Karma (Shanaicharya) is completed at the momentwhen the ignorance of compulsive repeating reaction is transformed into the wisdom of conscious reaction management.

Once the compulsive reaction mechanism appears in the field of awareness, and the intentto manage the reaction ( responsibility without guilt) is established, the karmic cycle is effectively complete.

War on *Doubt*!

According to Sogyal Rinpoche, the single greatest threat to human peace of mind is -- not hatred, anger, or guilt -- but rather **doubt**.

• You have the intelligence and the self-discipline to make a practice of becoming aware of the presence of doubt and negative expectations in the three areas which Shani influences most strongly:

• With age and awareness of childhood trauma, all nativities may develop a superior meditation practice based on rigorous routine and seasoned awareness of the structure of Mind.

Catching subconscious negative projections of doubt and pessimism "in the act"

It is strongly recommended to try to "catch" negative thoughts "in the act". If habitual, fear-driven thoughts of failure, ignominy, and zero-option despair (Shani's specialties!) are caught and identified at the mental level, then they can be dealt with quickly. They might not be able to be completely extinguished because they are the result of past-life karma. They will have to be understood and accepted before they can be eradicated.

• Nevertheless if the native is able to capture and work on negative thoughts at the level of direct mental perception, one will be spared much unhappiness.

• If the negative thoughts are not recognized at the mental level, then the information will try to gain the native 's attention at the next grosser particulate level of the astral plane.

• The astral plane contains a huge "ocean of emotion".

• One the astral plane, the negative thoughts will manifest in a roller-coaster of that surges from wild fantasies of total redemptive love to blackest despair of abandonment and total rejection unto death.

• The astral plane is not governed by time, so one might experience violent fluctuations of feelings - from bright to black and pure merging love to total isolated death - in a matter of minutes.

To avoid this type of violent emotional fluctuation one need only approach the task directly on the mental plane.

• In the worst case, the negative thought projections would not be recognized on either the mental or the emotional planes.

• Then, the information must migrate down to the physical level. This is a painful option of physical brutality and disease.

• the native may get into a shocking "accident" or develop a serious disease.

• Perhaps only then will the native recognize how one became trapped in a web of tightly interwoven thoughts and expectations, which proceeded without interruption, to their logical and "destined" conclusion.

Burning the Seeds of Karmic Fruit (Shani)

"Karma" = "action" - the seeds of the action are sown on the causal plane. Those seeds give fruit On the mental, emotional, and physical levels.

• Mental, emotional, and physical sorrow can be avoided by addressing the karma on the higher levels of awareness. This requires examining one's beliefs and expectations. As one believes, so one will manifest.

• Of course, the whole process of seed-eradicating can be eliminated in one fell swoop by simply projecting the full consciousness upon the spiritual plane - and keeping it there!

• One who has the blessed privilege to gaze directly on the level of pure truth, and the intent to remain engaged there without ever getting "sucked down" into lower levels of painful intrigue, is spared of karmic "trickle-down" forever!

• However for you and I, attacking the root cause on the mental plane seems a much more feasible strategy.
