According to Vedic astrology, Saturn is debilitated in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Aries, which in simple words means that Saturn becomes the weakest when placed in Aries compared to its placement in all the other signs. Debilitated Saturn is associated with many bad things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that debilitated Saturn always works negatively in a horoscope and it brings bad results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and debilitated Saturn can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word debilitated simply relates to the strength of Saturn in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Saturn in a horoscope. Accordingly debilitated Saturn placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Saturn as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when debilitated Saturn is placed in different houses of a horoscope. While discussing some of these effects, it should be noted that due to its debilitation, Saturn alone generally doesn’t provide strong positive or negative results and it needs to be supported by other positive or negative planets in order to produce such results. Hence we will discuss good or bad results given by debilitated Saturn in combination with other positive or negative planets in a horoscope.
