Do you know who is
Shani Dev?
Shani is considered to
be the Strongest
Malefic Planet as well as
a Good Teacher who
represents Patience,
Efforts, Endeavour and
Endurance and even
brings Misfortunes.
However, a favorably
placed Shanidev in
horoscope of a person
gives a strong career,
healthy life and
everything positive for
that person. Shani
placed unfavorably on
the other hand brings
troubles. Any Pleasure
or Pain that takes place
during Shani's influence
is not by chance rather
it is the result of the
person's own karma.
Thus an unfavorably
placed Shani gives harsh
results of one's . bad
karma, and vice-versa.
