When retrograde Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Gemini, Gemini rises in the ascendant. Saturn rules the eighth and ninth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the benefic 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 first house of horoscope in Gemini is benefic in many cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases.
