Saturn transits into Leo on 16th July, 2007

The planet Saturn is the most important significator in Vedic astrology. Saturn completes a full round of zodiac once in 30 years transiting each sign in approximately 2-1/2 years. Since he is a Kaarmic control planet the entire destiny of the world and the life forms in it under go a significant change every time Saturn moves. The move has also its effects on global weather conditions. The ancient sages of India who had the knowledge of Astrology have tabulated the effects of Saturn transits in different zodiacal signs. For human beings the Moon at birth is an important landmark in the natal Horoscope. Transit of Saturn in the 12th 1st and 2nd house from Moon has significant effects in individual lives and this7-1/2 year period is known as the “Elarata “ of Saturn. When Saturn transits the 4th and 8th signs from the moon it again causes Elarata effect for 2-1/2 years approximately.

So there can be three major Elarata and 6 minor Elarata in a life of 90 years or so.

The most important factor is the placement of Saturn in the Natal Horoscope. Saturn is a benefic for signs Taurus, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius. For Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces he is a malefic and for the other signs he is neutral.
