Saturn will Enter Libra on November 15, 2011,and exit it on 3/11/2014.

This is his Uchcha Rashi (exaltation sign) and he is powerful and happy when transiting it. Saturn is considered Paramochcha for the first 20º of Libra

Saturn is the channel that relentlessly brings past life Karma to this life. He is the stern judge who shows no mercy. Tula is a Rashi that has the weighing balance as its symbol. When the planet of judgment passes through the sign of balance, it always means that scales will be balanced and justice delivered in full.

Jupiter at this point of time is placed in Aries and aspects Saturn with his seventh house aspect. Jupiter represents the law both divine and earthly. Saturn too aspects Jupiter with his seventh house aspect. The mutual aspect of two major slow moving planets – one representing the law and the other judgment – signifies that the judgment day for the humanity has arrived. In the times to come the justice will be delivered and the wrongdoers punished. Since Saturn signifies imprisonment, it is certain that the corrupt and the crooked will be put away for good.

According to the tenets of Hindu astrology, the transit effects of planets are seen from the Moon. These results are given below and are both good and bad for different Chandra Lagna (Lunar ascendant).

Saturn is primarily a planet of separation and causes a chasm between a person and the significations of the house or house lord which comes under his influence. He gives favorable results in the third, sixth and eleventh house from the Moon. In other houses the results are either neutral or unfavorable. Of the unfavorable results, those pertaining to Saturn’s transit through the fifth and the eighth house are really misery producing.

Passing through the fifth house from Moon, Saturn causes a separation between the native and the happiness on account of children. It can be a physical separation or one caused by disease, injury etc. The third aspect of Saturn falls on the seventh house and disturbs the relationship with the life partner or spouse. The seventh aspect falls on the eleventh house of financial gains and reduces the income. Finally the tenth house aspect falls on the second house of wealth and causes the saved money to be spent. Credit cards get maxed and one is hard put to meet the expenses.

When Saturn passes through the eighth house of longevity, and Saturn is not the lord of this house, there is usually a high possibility of an accident or illness. The third aspect of Saturn falls on the tenth house and curtails professional success. The seventh house aspect falls on the second house of wealth and causes bank balance to be slowly reduced to almost nothing. Finally the tenth aspect falls on the fifth house and causes unhappiness on account of children. Because these two transits are so problematical they are called ‘Kantak Shani’ (Kantak=A thorn, Shani=Saturn)

There 5 stages of grief.

Grief is a somewhat commplicated and misunderstood emotion. Yet, grief is something that, unfortunately, we must all experience at some time or other. We will all inevitably experience loss. Whether it is a loss through death, divorce or some other loss, the stages of grieving are the same.

There are five stages of grief. If we get stuck in one stage or the other, the process of grieving is not complete, and cannot be complete. Thus there will be no healing. A person MUST go through the five stages to be well again, to heal. Not everyone goes through the stages at the same time. It is different for each person. You cannot force a person through the stages, they have to go at their own pace, and you may go one step forward then take two steps backward, but this is all part of the process, and individual to each person. But, as stressed, ALL five stages must be completed for healing to occur.

The five stages of grief are:

1-Denial-"this can't be happening to me", looking for the former spouse in familia places, or if it is death, setting the table for the person or acting as if they are still in living there. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.

2-Anger-"why me?", feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with spouse of divorce, for death, anger at the deceased, blaming them for leaving.

3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the spouse who is leaving, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to come back.

4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning loss of person as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.

5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that it takes two to make or break a marriage. Realization that the person is gone (in death) that it is not their fault, they didn't leave you on purpose. (even in cases of suicide, often the deceased person, was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of person.

Get help. You will survive. You will heal, even if you cannot believe that now, just know that it is true. To feel pain after loss is normal. It proves that we are alive, human. But we can't stop living. We have to become stronger, while not shutting off our feelings for the hope of one day being healed and finding love and/or happiness again. Helping others through something we have experienced is a wonderful way to fascilitate our healing and bring good out of something tragic.
