Saturn in First House

If Saturn is in the first house (ascendant), the native will suffer from rheumatic and bilious diseases. If Saturn is in his sign of exaltation (Libra), the native will have lordship over a village or town and will have financial and agricultural prosperity. 

If Saturn is in his own sign Capricorn or Aquarius, the father of the native will be rich. If Saturn is in the ascendant in the sign of the lord of the 4th or 10th the native will be very fortunate and will enjoy the effects of Maharaja yoga (name, fame and wealth). If Saturn in the ascendant is aspected by Moon, the native will earn his livelihood by begging. This will not happen if Saturn is aspected by a benefic (Jupiter or Venus) also.

The disposition of Saturn in the ascendant (Lagna kendra) in his own sign of exaltation will give rise to Sasa yoga (Panchmaha Purusha yoga), the results of which have been given as under:-

"One born in this yoga will command good servants. His character will be questionable. He will be head of a village or .a town or even a king. He will covet other's riches and will be wicked in disposition."

Brihat Jatak- The person concerned will be poor, sickly, love stricken, very unclean, suffering from diseases during his childhood and indistinct in his speech. (The above effects are only when Saturn occupies the Lagna identical with a sign other than Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra). If any one of the signs Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra be the ascendant and Saturn should occupy it, the person concerned will be equal to a king, the headman of a village, mayor of a city, a great scholar and will be handsome.

Phaldeepika- If Saturn is in the ascendant in his sign of exaltation or in his own sign, the native will be like a king or head of a village or a town. If Saturn is in any other sign, the native will be unhappy in his childhood and later will be poor and lazy.

Saravali- Same effects as given by Phaldeepika.

Chamatkar Chintamani- The native will own large properties and will be prosperous but greedy, sorrowful and narrow minded. He will humiliate his enemies.
