The Rahu-Saturn Conjunction.

This is seen as one of the most feared conjunction and as I have it in my chart, I think I have good experience to speak about it.

This conjunction takes place after every 11 years. Like, it is in charts of people born in 1957, 1968, 1979, 1990, 2001 and then 2012-13.

Normal interpretation is of Shrapit Yoga that these people are cursed and did very bad deeds in past lives which they are here to pay-back their karma in this life. Let me 1st deal with this past life thing.  :D

Does an Astrologer know about his own past life through his chart? Like, I have thoroughly read my chart from every possible angle in last 5 years but I can't say anything about my past life. I can say things about my present life only. So, how can I be sure about other people past lives? The theory which says that you did wrong to someone in past life and so you are suffering in this life leads to a possible argument that it is retributive God or revengeful God. As I read in The Fakir of Ruzbeh Bharucha that it can very well be soul's own decision to go through the troubles so that it can finish its karma at faster rate and merge in source energy.

All I want to say here is that these things can be interpreted in any way you like and it depends on the evolution level of person to interpret it in a certain way. So, I am not ready to buy that argument that anyone is cursed/shrapit/doomed. As Osho said that you are God's creation and if God has made you then what higher honor you are seeking in this world.

Then how can God make anyone as cursed? Anyways, let's come back in present life.

At the same time, it will be a wrong way to say that this conjunction doesn't give any trouble. Saturn is our challenges and Rahu explodes things. So, Rahu-Saturn conjunction explodes person's challenges in this life which again can be soul's own decision.

Now, as I said many times that I probably have the most trashed 10th house in world as Rahu-Saturn sit there, Mars's deadly 8th aspect is on 10th house and 10th lord Sun is in enemy sign and in 3rd house (6th house away from 10th house). But still I managed to have a career. Still I am getting sort of Fame. Before being in my own business, I worked under others' authority for 10 years. Even when I left my job in 2015, it was not because of any conflict with any authority but it was just that I was hearing a call from Astrology. My ex-Bosses are still in touch with me and we meet on occasions and have a good relation.

So, Saturn-Rahu didn't give any result? No, they did as my growth in job was very limited. But during these 10 years, the biggest factor in my favor was my exalted Moon and Jupiter. It gave me wisdom and flexibility to adjust with whomsoever I worked. So again, it is all about your mind as to how you deal with situation? A person with weak moon position would have reacted to many situations in those 10 years which I chose to ignore.

So again, if you have this conjunction and want to know how to deal with it then only way is to keep a balanced mind. Meditation & Mindfulness can be very helpful here which can help you in ignoring many small issues on which normally people react. Also, balanced or flexible mind doesn't mean that you should become subservient to others but just ignore things till it can be ignored. After that, you are bound to respond. Again, respond, don't react.

So, if you have good Moon, Jupiter position or even if you don't have it but you perform meditation and mindfulness, you can still deal with this conjunction. In relationship matters, seek a partner who has similar good position of Moon, Venus, Jupiter which shows that both can be flexible and cooperative. If they are flexible or understanding then they will find out ways to sustain the relationship any how rather than finding out ways to hurt each other through any way.

It is all in mind.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
