Namaste,

The more I think of it, the more it seems like master Saturn is the one and only planet of interest, if you are interested in future births of greatness and might, and eventual liberation!

Come to think of the following:

1. For wealth, one needs to perform hard work/be dutiful - denoted by Saturn!

2. For good grades and securing prestigious degrees, again hardwork is needed - denoted by Saturn!

3. For liberation, spiritual ascension of any sort -- hard work again - Saturn! (also a natural giver of renunciation outlook).

4. For living a fulfilling life, one needs to perform one's duties well, this needs commitment to the sense of obligation to duties, again this commitment or resolve is denoted by Saturn.

5. For earning a good name as a person, even personality virtues like humility are granted by Saturn.

So as you see, for artha (wealth), dharma (dutifulness), kama (fulfillment of desires/acquiring sense of prestige) and moksha/liberation, all 4 principles are but the fruits of Saturn!

So it seems to me that while all other 8 planets are *mere givers* of the fruits of labor, Saturn is the *only* planet that we need to really work for!

Even when considering Kala-sarpa-yoga, kala or time is denoted by Saturn. It seems Saturn is the only vehicle that *drives* one's destiny!

Cheers to all those having a well-placed Saturn in their chart!

Pranam,

Viraja
