The place of Saturn among other planets is of special importance in spirituality. Man reveling in physical and material bliss becomes ungrateful of the blessings he is bestowed upon. Saturn creates many difficulties in his life by means of metaphysical and supernatural means thereby grounding him. If there were no troubles in life, man would not have remembered God. Generally people fear the Sade Sati of Shani i.e. the Seven and half years of Saturn. Saturn is a Judge hence he rewards the good deeds of a person during Sade Saati . In case of bad deeds, the person is disciplined until he feels remorse for his actions.

True characters of people, be it friends, foes or relatives are revealed to the native during his Sade saati. Saturn planet belongs to Vayu tatva and Shudra varna. Saturn rules over the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. The planet Saturn exalts in the zodiac sign of Libra and debilitates in Aries.
