Śani Jayantī - Happy Birthday Saturn
May 26th in Africa, the Americas & Europe
May 27th in Asia, Australia & NZ
Every year, on the new moon day in the Vedic month of Jyestha, we honor the “appearance day” [Jayantī] of Saturn [Śani Maharaj]. Saturn’s “birthday” is a time to acknowledge, appreciate & orient to the meanings of Saturn – lord of karma, sacred boundaries, rules & rituals, hard work, isolation, slow pace, strangeness & seriousness, depth and the wisdom gained through time.
Saturn has a reputation for giving us challenges and even grief in life, but Saturn also blesses us with sacred responsibilties, boundaries, depth, seriousness & hard inner work and outer work that help us in life and in time to grow, to mature, and to humbly help others.
This year is especially significant for Saturn, as the lord of Karma & Hard Work is now in Pisces, reaching its culmination & completion of a 30 year cycle. So this Shani Jayanti is a great time to offer appreciation for the lessons learned, the work accomplished, the responsibilities given in the past nearly 30 years. Much much more about how to navigate to Saturn in Pisces for the next 2.5 years inside the Nectar of Time.
