Saturn in the 1st House

Tanu Bhav — self, body, personality

Favourable Results

When Shani (Saturn), the slow, disciplinary, karmic graha (a celestial influencer), occupies the lagna (the 1st house, the ascendant) under an auspicious influence, placed in its own rashi (sign) or in its ucca (exalted) sign and the like, the native (the person whose chart it is) becomes the headman of a town or village, learned (vidvan), accomplished and virtuous (guni), and long-lived. He is serious by nature and fond of solitude. On the strength of his self-confidence he earns great wealth, destroys his opponents and enemies (shatru), and enjoys authority like a king. Such people leave a good impression at the very first meeting. The native obtains ancestral property (paitrik sampatti). His habit of showing compassion will make him wealthier still.

Unfavourable Results

The native is given to needless quarrels, dull of intellect (thick-witted), base in nature, poor, unclean (malin), lazy, lustful, miserly, and shabbily dressed. He has a defect in his nose. Excessive hair on his body will increase his poverty. His body suffers pain from itching, vata (wind-humour) disorders, and diseases of the private parts (gupt rog). He is afflicted by injuries and by ghosts and evil spirits (bhoot-pret) and the like. He endures mental anguish. He sustains injury from iron and the like. It is in his nature to burn with envy at the sight of others' progress. He meets with no success in matters of his own land and property, or in dealings connected with the state. The native's wife, too, looks considerably older than her age. After the birth of such a native, poverty or desolation descends upon his parents' home, and the house is put up for auction and the like.
