How is Saturn connected with human suffering?

Saturn intricately connects with human suffering. Adversities bring the best out of us, but few of us escape the side effects unscathed. Usually, you can see many people who, after a turbulent period in their lives, appear ten years older, with traces of wisdom that come out of the experience. Maladies are usually unexplained or rather uncalled for. Yet, they leave imprints of knowledge on us at their departure from our lives. So, time is called the best teacher for nothing. But few of us, or great many of us, to be precise, take an astrological view of the situation and try to take stock of it. Usually, blaming someone for our misfortunes seems an easy way out, and here, in their case, blames Shani for bringing on problems. Shani is the fierce planet, which means, on the outside, nothing more than a planet, placed remotely, light-years away. He is the ultimate teacher who opens our eyes to our life purpose. In the horoscope, of all the twelve houses that comprise it, if the Shani, out of all nine planets, is placed adversely, he is bound to cause problems when it is his time. Karmas of both past and present come under the wise jurisdiction of Saturn. Saturn blesses those with a clean karmic record and punishes those who still have a lot to clear in their kitty.  

Do not be alarmed due to Saturn, as he only tests our mettle, our ability to face head-on, any issues that life throws at, to see if we can surmount it. It allows us to realize our potential and resilience and unravel a side of our personality that we did not know of earlier. We learn to reflect on life and its situations, respond to life wisely, and go through the journey of life as we gather a repository of reflections that help us in this life and beyond.

Every planet approaches an individual's life in time slices. The native under Saturn's negative influence is stubborn and quarrelsome. He humiliates and puts people in distress without realizing that Saturn is weaving his judgments around these acts.

A person in Sade Sati goes through self-introspection and reflections. The karmic debts you owed to people, knowingly or unknowingly, are sorted out by Shani during this period. There would be an upsurge of negative emotions in the native as he goes through unbearable pain due to sickness or some emotional disturbance. Seriously affected by these repeating cycles, he reacts negatively to the situation. Pain changes people, no doubt. A person who has felt pain at a severe level is either empathetic or destructive in spirit. Saturn's evil effects are nullified to zero in the case of good people, and the native passes his Saturn Transit Period peacefully without cares or worries. In contrast, most of them react negatively to pain and remain embittered. 

Saturn is a fierce and malefic planet with all negative biases, whereas the Moon is the individual's mind. Saturnian influence affects rational thinking, and due to the irrational temperament, all his actions would be laced with negativity. Emotions get altered, and the negativity sprouts up from all corners. Sade Sati's effects are of far more severe magnitude than the Dasha or normal transit effects. For example, suppose the native undergoes a loss of some sort in a typical Dasha or transit, and the same kind of loss occurs during Sade Sati. The native would refuse even to consider that he has had experienced the same problem earlier during the concerned planetary Dasha.

It is a redemption time for the virtuous, whereas it is the hour of verdict deliverance for the lower mortals. Like any other society, our Hindu society has an ingrained value system that is etched in every Hindu's psyche. So, we are privileged to have a natural awareness of the good and the bad and an always alert conscience to help us avoid negative karma. In the case of severe distress and pain, you may consider visiting a Shani temple and praying in earnest surrender for his mercy.
