Typical results
Traditionally it is linked with strain on home life, health or sudden changes. The intensity changes with the signs, aspects and the dasha running.

- Saturn (Shani) - discipline and hard work, delays and patience and labour and servants; mahadasha of 19 years.
What must be checked
A reliable astrologer checks the house Saturn rules and aspects in your own chart. Many charts that seem to have this dosha show it only partially or cancelled.
What helps
- Avoid starting major ventures in the most sensitive sub-period
- Discuss the result with family calmly; fear helps no one
- Use the planet's weekday for mantra and charity
- Follow simple remedies consistently rather than costly one-off pujas
Remedy for the main planet
- Chant Om Chandraya Namah 108 times on Monday.
- Give charity linked to Moon on Monday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Pearl (Moti) - only if Moon is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: sleep on time, care for your mother, drink enough water.
