Saturn as Matru Karaka

Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle


Let’s cover this article under following points -


Saturn - Saturn is all that which we don't like in our life. Saturn is Delay, Frustration, Restriction, Limitation and Anxiety. It is Delay, Perseverance, Hard-work and Labour. It is people of Authority, like Boss at your work place or Father at home. Saturn is our challenges and biggest lessons of life. Saturn is Old-age, Teeth/Bones in human body, Diseases, Transformation etc. Saturn is Discipline, Organisation, Structure, Government, Law & Order etc.


Matru Karaka - It is planet with the 4th highest degree. It is known as Matru Karaka or Significator of Mother. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards your relation with your Mother. It can also be seen for things like Property and Vehicles as Mother, Property and Vehicles all relate to 4th house. 


Results of Saturn as Matru Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Saturn becomes someone’s Matru Karaka -


1.Saturn is a planet of duty and responsibility in life. It is a planet which gives results only after delay, hard work and perseverance. Saturn is more a work oriented planet rather than relationship oriented planet. To gain any result of the house where Saturn impacts, we have to work for a very long time. Only good thing with Saturn is that when it starts giving result then those results also stay with us for a long time.


2.So, when someone has Saturn as Matru Karaka, then relationship with Mother can be strenous, difficult or distant. It can be a very karmic relationship if further malefic impact is on 4th house or Moon. In worst case scenario, person may lose Mother very early in life.


3.It can create a scenario where person is living far away from their Mother or even if they stay together, it can be an almost no relation between them. Under the same roof, they may feel distant.


4.Here, we need to understand that Saturn is not a relationship oriented planet. Hence, it cannot help us in any relation. When Saturn impacts any relation in your life, you have to continuously work on that relationship tirelessly and then only you can expect some results coming your way. It is always “work in progress” with Saturn.


5.As Matru Karaka represents other things related with 4th House too, Saturn being MK shows that person may stay away from his home land or stay at home land can be very stressful. It also shows that people at home or homeland may not value the person and may give a step-treatment.


6.In initial life, person can have very less peace of mind.


7.But in Ajeeva Karakas of Matru Karaka, person can expect better results like in matters of owning a property or having a business in real estate. So, they can buy properties but staying in their own property can be stressful.


8.Person may travel to long distances away from home or home land or from Mother and travels can be stressful.


9.Basically, it is not good to have Saturn as Matru Karaka for a good home life or good relation with Mother, especially in early life. If person puts continuous efforts then things can improve in later life.


10.But again, only benefit with Saturn is that when it brings results even those results are there for a long time. So here, they may gain benefits from Mother or Property later in life but that benefit will remain there.


11.Now, whichever house Saturn rules in your chart through Capricorn and Aquarius signs, those houses would also indicate possible areas from where Matru Karaka results can come. It also shows that who all will be important to the native in finding these results.


12.Then in whichever house/sign Saturn sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life Matru Karaka results will be manifested. Like, for an Gemini ascendant, if Saturn is in 5th house/Libra then person can be expecting Mother-like nourishment from romantic partner which may result in stress between them. But for Libra ascendant person, if Saturn is placed in 2nd house/Scorpio then person can be seeking motherly love from family and can feel disappointed.


13.If any planet is conjunct with Saturn then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can bring authority to person.


Dignity - With Saturn, dignity doesn’t matter. Saturn in any sign represents delays, hard work and perseverance. It brings results with delay only, regardless of the fact that Saturn is exalted or debilitated. .


Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Saturn’s position.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
