Saturn in 10th House

Shani dev in the 10th house : Tenth house is the house of our karma. It is the house that signifies all of our actions. It shows our social status and is related to the profession, prestige, financial success, respect, power of our reputation, influence and the career path we will pursue. It shows our capacity to influence the outer world. Our willingness to take responsibility and capacity to handle pressure is shown here. The body part associated with the tenth house is the knee and front of the thigh. This part of the body shows both support and constant motion. These things together allow us to handle pressure and move/adapt to what comes our way as well. Yet, it is a very fragile and complicated part of the body. One wrong move can undo the entire structure. Shani dev’s placement in the tenth house corresponds with that of Sri Krishna. Such native’s have the capacity to get their work done under any circumstances and have answers to all problems. Saturn in the tenth house is excellent for slow and steady, long-term gains and accomplishments. This placement brings a natural capacity to make a commitment to things, and be careful making wrong decisions that derail our course. However, the native’s should be careful and stick to the life of dharma. Sri Krishna was a God reincarnate and free from the perils of the karma manifestation. Moving on the path of Adharam for such natives can prove catastrophic. Success in life occurs through repetition and going deeper into core values. Saturn supports all of these processes, but may make a person hesitant to adjust or be inflexible. This house naturally corresponds to the Capricornian energy of work alcoholic tendencies and ambitious goals. Saturn being the natural owner of the 10th house, it becomes about what we earn and how we earn it. Natives having this placement should always be mindful of their means of earning. Please note that the 6th house is 9th from the 10th house. Therefore, 6th house is the bhagya of the 10th house of karma. Sri Krishna’s bhagya was directly connected with the 6th house of maternal uncle. 

Story of Sri Krishna :  Kansa the son of King Ugrasena of Mathura organized the marriage ceremony of his cousin sister Devaki. In his joy, he drove the chariot to her in-law’s place. However, on the way, a thunderous prophecy occurred - “Kansa, her eight son shall kill you.” Immediately, Kansa raised his sword to kill Devaki. But Vasudeva stopped his hand and promised to surrender each and every child he fathers. Later, he imprisoned his father Ugrasena and usurped the throne. After imprisoning the couple, Kansa mercilessly killed the 6 first born babies of Devaki. However, the seventh womb was Sankarshana. By the potency of Yogamaya, Sankarshana was transplanted in the womb of Rohini Devi, the chief consort of Vasudeva. In the ninth year, Devaki was expecting her eight child. Exactly at midnight, Devaki gave birth to her eighth son. As soon as the child was born, the prison cell filled with bright light. Vasudeva then heard a divine prophecy to exchange his new born son with the daughter of his friend of Gokul, Nand. He went to Gokul in the middle of the night and exchanged the babies under the magic spell. On return Vasudeva, placed Nand’s new born daughter in place of his son. Now, as Kansa was about to bang the infant, she slipped from his hands and assumed the form of an 8 armed goddess, Durga. She roared and told the evil king Kansa, that his slayer was alive and safe. And that one day he will return to slay the evil king. Meanwhile, there were celebrations in Gokul. Everyone came to offer their blessings to the boy. Nand and Yashoda named the boy - Krishna.
