Shani Remedies: Shani Dosha Astrological Remedies, Saturn Remedies… In Vedic astrology, Saturn (Shani) represents karma, discipline, justice, perseverance, longevity, and hard work. A strong Saturn grants patience, focus, resilience, and lasting authority, while an afflicted Saturn or difficult transit (such as Sade Sati or Dhaiya) can cause delays, chronic fatigue, financial hurdles, anxiety, or feelings of isolation.
