Saturn or śanaiścāra , śani शनि
On the 2nd of November śanaiścāra enters a new house – scorpio, the natural 8th house. So , 8th house¹ influences will be in order. Also note that the influences for the larger graha-s begin way before they enter a new house. Some say 45-60 days prior to their entry.
Consider śanaiścārā :
This śanais शनैस् means quietly , softly , gently , gradually. So we have śanais as gradually, softly + cara चर moving, walking , wondering. Hence śani is considered śanaye kramati sa - the one possessing or containing ~ with the attribute~ (sa) who moves or preceeds ( krama) slowly (śani), quietly (śanais).
We know it takes śani some 29.7 years to make one complete trip around sūrya, his father - hence the slow moving one. From this we can deduce he owns the last day of the week ( slowest or arriving last).
He is high in patience, as patience comes with time and steadiness. This patience and steadiness gives way to being deliberate and purposeful. From this we can also see perseverance in difficult times. From this steadiness, one can groom devotion (bhakti).
Many fear śani for the wrong reasons (IMHO). More on śanaiścāra at this hdf post: http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2941
To our various students of jyotish, what then can one expect of śani residing in the natural 8th house ?
praṇām
1. 8th house; a dusthāna
- dusthāna-s or duḥ + sthāna. Lets look at the words:
- duḥ ( or du) - 2nd derivation is defined as pain , or sorrow , afflict , distress ; to burn , consume with fire , cause internal heat
- The 1st derivation of du is 'to go'. So in jyotiṣ ( jyotish), the 2nd derivation is being applied.
- sthāna is defined as place of standing or staying , any place , spot , locality , abode , dwelling , house , site . In jyotish this would be considered a house or bhāva
