Retrograde Saturn in 2nd House in Aries
When retrograde Saturn is placed in the second house of a horoscope in Aries, Pisces rises in the ascendant. Saturn rules the eleventh and twelfth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the malefic part is higher, in most cases. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science?’.
Retrograde Saturn in the second house of horoscope in Aries is malefic in many cases, though it may turn benefic in some cases. It may happen when such Saturn is influenced by one or more benefic planets, and/or an overall benefic horoscope. The concept of a malefic planet turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Saturn in the second house of a horoscope in Aries can bless the native with good results related to friends, creativity, spiritual growth, family, wealth, speech, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.

On the other hand, malefic retrograde Saturn in the second house of a horoscope in Aries can trouble the native with problems related to friends, family, wealth, speech, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Saturn rules the eleventh and twelfth house, and it is placed in the second house. Hence the native may witness delays, financial losses, setbacks, failures, job loss, bad reputation and several other problems related to or through his profession. If such retrograde Saturn is influenced by malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope, the native may witness various types of problems related to or through his family. For example, the native may be born in a family which may be poor, and/or some of his family members may be alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals and/or they may have some other negative traits. Hence the native may witness several problems in his life, due to bad reputation of his family, and/or bad conducts of some family members.

Malefic Rahu is placed in the eighth house in Libra, malefic debilitated Venus is placed in the seventh house in Virgo, malefic Sun is placed in the sixth house in Leo with Mercury, and retrograde Mars is placed in the twelfth house in Aquarius.

If benefic Moon is placed in the fourth house in Gemini, and Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Libra with Rahu, the equation may become more troublesome. Guru Chandal Yoga is formed in the eighth house. In this case, the native may not find permanent a profession throughout his life, and he may keep changing jobs. He may have to spend significant amount of money, in order to take care of his father’s illness, or his financial problems. Native’s first marriage may fail, and he may settle in his second marriage.
