How to Fix Your Saturn: Real Remedies for the Planet That Teaches Hard Lessons
(Also known as: how to stop Saturn from turning your life into a Christopher Nolan film—deep, confusing, and slightly depressing.)
First, What's Saturn Messing With?
In Vedic astrology, Saturn (also known as Shani) is essentially the cosmic taskmaster, the ultimate karmic auditor, and the CEO of delayed gratification. When he's not happy (meaning he's weak, retrograde, or simply poorly placed in your birth chart), life can start to feel a lot like:
A never-ending struggle bus where you just can't seem to catch a break.
Significant delays in your career, marriage prospects, or financial growth.
Intense mental pressure, feelings of depression, or recurring health problems.
Your past karma catching up to you faster than a new scandal goes viral on Reddit.
Remedies to Fix Your Saturn (and Maybe Your Life):
1. Shani Mantra (Daily or Saturdays)
Chant: 'Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah'
'Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah' Repeat this mantra 108 times, ideally on a Saturday. Think of this as Saturn's personal ringtone—keep ringing until he finally picks up and pays attention.
2. Charity and Service
Saturn deeply values discipline and humility. Performing acts of selfless service is highly effective:
Feed the poor , especially targeting the elderly, laborers, or those with disabilities.
, especially targeting the elderly, laborers, or those with disabilities. Donate black items like urad dal (black lentils), black sesame seeds, or black clothing.
like (black lentils), black sesame seeds, or black clothing. Offer chappals (sandals) or shoes to those in need.
Serving "Saturn's people" is essentially like putting your karmic credit score into a much-needed repair mode.

3. Oil Remedy (Til Tel Remedy)
Every Saturday morning, pour mustard oil (
til tel
) onto a black iron surface or a dedicated Shani idol. Alternatively, you can simply donate mustard oil.
Optional dramatic version: Before pouring the oil, look at your own reflection in the mustard oil. This ritual symbolizes draining away your negativity. It's like a Saturn-approved spa therapy session for your soul.
4. Wearing Blue or Black
Colors that are strongly associated with Saturn can help to stabilize its energy and influence.
No, wearing these colors won't instantly fix all your karma, but yes—it does provide vibrational support.
Important Note: Wearing a blue sapphire (Neelam) gemstone is an option, but this must be done only after a thorough and proper astrological consultation. This particular gem can shift from being a blessing to creating chaos faster than a major plot twist in Game of Thrones.
5. Fasting on Saturdays
Consider observing a fast until sunset on Saturdays (or opting to eat only once during the day). You can also add some black sesame seeds to your meal or water. This practice helps to clear away karmic residue and sharpens your discipline—which, for Saturn, is a favorite love language.
6. Work with Discipline
Saturn generously rewards structure and hard work. Make it a point to wake up early, be consistent in your efforts, and work diligently without seeking shortcuts.
