Is Saturn Really The Great Malefic In Astrology?

Saturn, the stern planet has been said to be the greatest malefic and Mars has been said to be the lesser malefic. That is because it is believed that both of these planets bring bad luck and as a result, are feared. Especially Saturn because it is the greatest malefic. But, is it really? The answer to that question is that it really depends. However, either way, Saturn is feared and that really should not be because I believe that Saturn can actually be a good luck planet in some situations.

It is understandable that negativity would arise when Saturn is in a water house (the 4th, the 8th, and the 12th) as it can result in depression. And with Saturn in these houses, the depression can be severe. I suffer from depression as it is, and I do know that each time that Saturn has been in those houses, the black cloud literally engulfed me. Extremely challenging situations did arise when Saturn was in those houses as well which worsened my depression.

Additionally, when Saturn makes hard aspects to other planets, it most definitely can result in depression, self-doubt, low self-confidence, stress, restrictions, and obstacles. And really, when any planet is making a hard aspect in general, challenges do arise.

But Saturn Can Be Quite Helpful If You Look At It Closely
