In Vedic astrology, Saturn—known as Shani—symbolizes discipline, karma, structure, and long-term growth through challenges. As the planet of hard work and resilience, it rules three significant Nakshatras: Pushya, Anuradha, and Uttara Bhadrapada. These Nakshatras emphasize karmic lessons, emotional depth, and the flow of life, often associated with water elements and adaptability. Natives may experience early struggles, family issues, and a wandering mind, but they develop purity, generosity, and spiritual maturity through perseverance.
Below, we explore each, including meaning, symbol, deities, themes, influences, pada characteristics, professions, planetary results, and more.
