Kantak Sani & Sade Sati
However, the transits are not as bad for all the natives, since it depends on how badly Saturn is afflicting the horoscope. If Saturn happens to be a yogakaraka in the horoscope and involved in good yogas then the transits are not as bad and vice versa. This is also dependant on the Astakavarga strength of a sign. If in the sarvastakavarga, the number of dots are lesser than optimum and/ or in Saturn's astakavarga the dots are lesser than 4, the period becomes a tough nut to crack. Along with this, one must check out, whether it is a bad transit from all the three points, namely Moon, Lagna and the Arudha Lagna. If it happens to be bad transit from all these three points, then the time become too tiresome for the native from almost all areas in his life. It is also required to check the astakavarga of all planets, whether Saturn has contributed to any dots in the transiting sign in the those planet's astakavarga. If not, then the affairs ruled by the planet under consideration suffers due to such transit.
Sade Sati
The transit of Saturn in the 12th,1st & 2nd houses from the Janma Rasi (Natal Moon sign) is called Sade-Sati or the seven and half year period. Each house is transited by Saturn for about 2½ years each.
The transit of Saturn in the twelfth house from Moon sign initiates the Sade-sati when the domestic affairs go awry. There maybe turmoil in married life, differences with parents and children, change of residence and many domestic problems. Worship Sri Kali Ma in addition to the Graha Mantra of Saturn.
Graha Mantra of Saturn
ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं शनैश्चाराय नमः
om prām prīm praum śanaiścārāya namah
The transit of Saturn in the Janma Rasi causes bad company, failure in undertakings, and many personal problems like loss of reputation, danger from accidents etc. Worship Sri Hanuman in addition to the Beeja Mantra of Saturn.
Ekadashakshari Hanuman Mantra
ॐ हं रुद्राय हनुमते नमः
om ham rudrāya hanumate namah
Beeja Mantra of Saturn
शं शनैश्चाराय नमः
śam śanaiścārāya namah
The transit of Saturn in the second house from Moon results in many enemies and financial losses, loss of livelihood and danger from Government action. Worship Sri Krishna as well as Saturn.
Kantaka Sani
Whenever Saturn Transits on the 1st, 4th, 8th or 10th from the Chandra, Lagna or Arudha Lagna (AL), such transit is called Kantaka Sani. Kantaka literally means thorn and as the name suggests the native's life become so terrible that it is compared to a condition whereby a person limps when a thorne is stuck in his foot. During this period, the career is hamphered and finances dwindle. When it happens with respect to the AL, the career and finances are greatly affected, when it happens with respect to Lagna, the person makes wrong decisions and suffer due to that and when it happens from Moon, the person suffers physically and emotionally.
The remedy to Kantak Sani is to chant the 3rd anuvaka of the Chamaka Prasna of Yajurveda, 11 times, in the morning at the brahma muhurtha. If this is done sincerely then the effect of Kantaka Sani on the native is minimal.
3rd Anuvaka of Chamaka Prasna

Comments
Statistically it will mean that many millions of people will have between 7 and 8 houses constantly influenced by Kantaka Sani. In other words of every 29.5 years of Sani cycle between 12.5 and 17.5 years will be bad just because of this ?
Taking other negative issues such Marana Sthana Karak, transits of 8th lord etc. into consideration, we see that millions of people don't even get a chance for any decent life at all. Is this realistic ?

A well wisher
While it is true that the native will have kantak sani most part of their life since, the kantak can happen from either Lagna, Moon or AL, the effect would be different at different times, based on the sign where it is happening, dasa running at the moment and in which cycle Saturn is causing the Kantak.
Thus, even though the Kantak applies most of the time, people still can have decent life since, the effect would be different each time.
Also one must know that one of the cause of Human Birth is to redeem out past karmas and Saturn ensures that in various ways. The way he does is various and Katak / Sade sati are some of those ways.

For a person of aries rising, saturn owns 10th and 11th house, but saturn is placed in the 6th house. As per general rule a malefic placed in the 6th house is good.
but in this case saturn is the lord of the 10th and 11th house(which deals with his proffession and wealth).
is this placement good?
All the best
i had already asked the question about placement of sani in 6th house(for a person with mesha as ascendant).
what if mars is also present in 6th house with saturn?
is this combination good(as mars is the lagna lord )?
what will be the effect due to this combination(as mars is an enemy to saturn.)?
in this case, what will u predict about the persons profession and what will be the overall effect on sixth house?
Excellent article on kantak shani,which we generally overlook unless faced with the problem.can you give me your inputs on pomegranate tree for meen lagna as shani is the lord of 11 and 12th house.how is it helpful?
Thanks & regds

Excellent Article. I do not know much about this, but my Sun Sign is Pisces and Moon Sign Meen. I have heard from someone that I am under the Shani Pradosh right now, and am surely facing a tough time regards Career progression and domestic life is concerned. Any advise?
This is a nice idea to put the puranic stories to highlight the relationship between various planets and not alone Saturn and Sun.
I will do it.. Let me just try to extract out some spare time from my hectic schedule.

is running ju mahadasa and venus antardasa , this is a meet for his bhratri karaka and atmakaraka,atmakaraka lord of his home mana and family and himself is giving suffering related to that field .Adding salt to injuries,he is running kantaka shani i.e.shani transit in 8th from lagna,shani lord of finances giving suffering related to that field, health may also suffer during kantaka sani as even the strongest one limps.So , he needs appropriate remedies for this.For Ju tell him to respect elders and love children as much as he can and donate yellow prasad on thursdays.Keeping fasts on thursdays will hasten recovery,for saturn best is to recite kantaka sani mantra daily before sunrise
found your article looking for the same.
can i copy the mantra from your site?Also can i help my husband in reciting?
Saturn is transiting in the 2n house from my janma rasi. Grateful if you can highlight a.likely impact and b. relief measures.

My sani is in Aq (9th house from moon and asc) but bhava chakra shows it in Pisces(10th house from, moon and asc)
Sani transit to taurus on March 11, 2001(my 12th house) everthing was good.
Sani transit to Gemini June 2, 2003(my 1st house) I was on the peak everything looking rosy.
Sani transit to cancer Nov 12, 2004
(my second house) I lost EVERYTHING
by sep 20, 2005.
The next transit of sani is Jan 31, 2007 to Leo(My third house from moon and Asc), Then I might get a break for two years. but again there is second innings to play when sani will be in virgo probably in 2009.
Sani being in Aq in my janma chart is my atmakaraka and it had made me work very hard all my life and now as a token of appreciation, now this.
But why all my other plants are silent, which are in the best positions they could be.
Is it the Mahadasa(Sani)which is so empowering that all other plants are simply sitting in the pavilion watching sani bowl bouncer after bouncer.
Then again the main action-reaction triggering factor had been the deha-antarada dasa always.
where Rahu in 12th house(taurus) had been shouting "how is that", all the time for every ball bowled by sani.
Out of all this, one good thing is
Yes I found god.
Sarajit dear, What is the relation between Sani and Rahu- astrologically or mythlogically.
Your articles are actually so near to reality that it is like near death experience :-)
Keep it up.
Namaskara.
Well, it is only very recently that I bumped across your blogsite and got interested into it. Your very self introduction is so meaningful. You are right on the point in introducing yourself, "a soul trapped in the world of illusion". But, just take a look around you, all of us are sailing in the same boat, and "from the inside of real selves, we are all the same". Only the physical bodies that we are in are different. Hence I took the step of calling you "Friend" though I have never interacted with you. Hope you do not mind.
Coming to the astrology part, I would like to find if you could provide some solution to my career difficulties (remedies) and general advise. Only if you are willing I can provide you my information to you directly. Please advise.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Thanking you in anticipation.

For remedial measures, does one have to recite the shani graha mantra a specific number of times - someone told me it should be 19000 times.
More improtantaly doesn't chanting graha mantra make shani stronger - in turn magnifying the ill effects of shani??????
in kerala astrologers take the transit of saturn thru 1,4,7,10 from janma raasi as kantaka sani, but in your site it is 1,4,8,10 which is true?
