What Saturn in Leo means
Leo is the sign of the Sun, and the Sun and Saturn are enemies in Parashara's table of relationships. The father and the son do not agree. Saturn in Leo spends about two and a half years in the sign of authority, kings, children, the heart and self-expression. It tests each of them.
Positions of authority feel the weight first. Governments, employers, fathers and anyone who leads meets resistance and slow results. The person's own pride is examined. Where the sense of self rests on being seen, the audience thins for a time.
Magha, ruled by Ketu, opens the stay with ancestral duty and the settling of family matters. Purva Phalguni, ruled by Venus, slows pleasure and romance. Uttara Phalguni, the Sun's own nakshatra, closes the stay with one pada, sharpest for authority and the father's health.
Sade Sati runs for Virgo, Leo and Cancer Moons, with Leo in the middle phase. Taurus Moons have Saturn in the fourth house and Capricorn Moons in the eighth. Saturn's favourable houses, the third, sixth and eleventh, belong here to Gemini, Pisces and Libra, from the Moon and from the lagna alike.
The transit shows the shape of one's pride. A person who leads through duty gains standing during this period, because Saturn rewards the humble officer. Children may need more discipline and more time. Watch the heart and the spine, and keep the body active without strain.
The remedy is humility in the Sun's domain. Offer water to the Sun at dawn and serve those who work under you. Saturday sesame oil, the Shani mantra and Hanuman worship remain the direct supports. Parashara's dana for Saturn is sesame, oil and iron, and in Leo any giving is best done without a name attached.
