How to Do Saturn Fasting

Saturn is the planet of justice with immense power within it. It takes its native to new heights and simultaneously is the cause of their downfall. It is a planet of Karma, bringing positivity to your life if handled well. Similarly, Saturn’s transit affects your life, mainly if it includes Sade Sati or Ashtama Shani.

Both these phases are complex, and if you are having any of the above transit or going through Saturn Dasha or Antardasha, Saturn fasting will help you face challenges better.

Saturn fasting is done on Saturdays, and it is an effective and powerful Vedic remedy. It helps you to propitiate Saturn and has the potential to reduce the negative or ill-effect of Saturn.
