Let’s look at one experiences with the Yogam of Shani
Shani is the Lord of darkness. If Lord Shani is in the inferior or low position in one's horoscope, the person gets involved in all immoral things such as looting, robbery, plundering, pillage and generally leading an immoral lifestyle.
Shani is an incredibly strong and powerful planet. It can throw the individual into a life of complete darkness. On the other hand, when the planetary aspect is in a very crooked position during the time of birth and is transitioning into the secondary place the same person could earn millions. If in someone’s birth chart, Saturn is in the 4th house, that person will not have any good fortunes and it will prevent any further growth. Also, placement in the 9th house, it will continue to prevent that person from any opportunities for good fortunes. However, Shani if it in a good favorable position it can raise one’s status to a very high level. If it is an unfavorable and in a bad position it can drive that person to a very low status. All the tasks they do will become very slow and late as a result of the effect of Shani. A task that could be done in one hour will take them as long as ten days and may still not be completed. If it is in the 8th house it will give the person a long life.
If Shani is in the 3rd, 6th, 7th, or 11th house the person will be sick and suffer diseases for a long time with no relief on site.
Even if Shani is in the 8th house and gives a long life, looking at the dvitiya and dasami, 2nd and 10th positions, it makes the individuals life full of ill health and that person will not have any desire to live. That person will not be able to mingle with others or share their opinions with others. This person will not be able to work wholeheartedly nor have a desire to be in the family.
When Shani sits in a good place in one’s birth chart then that person will get the blessings from the Mahatmas when introduced to them.
When Saturn comes in combination with Budha, the Mercury planet, then there is a possibility of that one getting nerve disorders.
When Saturn comes in combination with Guru or Jupiter, then that one becomes a jnani, tattva vetta, metaphysician, and atma-parishodhaka, excellent researcher of consciousness.
According to Vedic Astrology when the Sun and Saturn are in the same house of a zodiac sign or even if they are in each other's view, the person will develop a heart full of hatred. Shani makes the individual’s capacity to discriminate clouded, and that one might consider an enemy a friend and a friend an enemy.
When Saturn and Moon come together in one rasi, the first attempt at completing a task will remain unfinished but will be accomplished on the second attempt.

When Saturn and Mars are in the same rasi the person will be an expert in technology.
When Shani in lagnam moves from part to part of the zodiac methodically, then the body becomes lethargic, and the person is not able to do any work at all and sits inert and frozen. This is called “jadha yogam.”
When Shani comes to the 10th house of a zodiac then it keeps that person in the best place and takes that person to greater heights.

Elinnaati Shani - A period of 7 ½ years of the effects of Saturn
The first 2 ½ years of this period Saturn dances over one’s head and that one doesn’t think right and performs bad actions.
In the second phase of the 2 ½ years Saturn affects the heart and that one suffers ill health.
In the third phase of this period Saturn affects the legs and the person suffers from injuries to the legs and is unable to walk and is prone to accidents and strokes and numbness in the legs.
And towards the end of the period, when the person is competing with oneself in trying to live an honest and moral life, Saturn before leaving that person’s life, grants one all glory and wealth, and makes one happy.
In general, according to any horoscope or a person's birth chart- no matter where or which part of the world one is living in, that individual is definitely bound to come back to one's native country at least before one’s death only because of the attachments one has toward one’s house or country.
We have discussed some points here on the effects of Saturn. This is the reason why we do homas to correct these defects.
