Of Transit Saturn

Saturn is extolled as Moksha Karaka,
Planet which confers LIberation,
The Planet of Justice, Destiny, Nemesis,
Saving humanity through suffering.

He symbolises the Sorrow of the Cosmci Man,
Sorrow inherent in Manifestation,
The true, existential force of Life,
Mrityur Vyadhiscah Dukham Sanirapi Gaditham.

Yet, he is dreaded as the most fearsome planet,
Which gives immense suffering,
Because he is a hard Taskmaster,
Punishing all sins.

WE have to make debits in our Ledger zero,
To gain Self Actualisation,
Only after the dross of sin is quit,
Can we aspire for Enlightenment !

Suffering is the Hammer of Thor,
Beating us into shape,
Suffering cleans us of sins,
Janmantara kritam papam Vyadhi roopena Jayate.

No thorns, no roses,
No Cross, No Heaven !
He is both Persecutor and Liberator,
Hence called the MOksha Karaka !


He is the Planet of Creative Destruction,
And can fool everybody.
Lord Rama was in the forest,
Despite him being exalted in Chart.

He was strong in Pisces,
In the chart of Jesus Christ !
Jesus was crying Eli Eli Lama Sabachtani,
My God, my God, why has Thou forsaken me ?

He was strong in Lagna,
In Marx's horoscope !
Yet, Marx was suffering immensely,
Despite his benign stance !

He destroyed all houses he aspected,
In anadamayee's chart.
Yet, gave her Self Actualisation,
Which all Rishies crave for !
