Ezharai Sani for Makaram Rasi: Sharing Experiences & Navigating the Third Phase
Vannakkam JyotishVidya members!
As many of us with Makaram (Capricorn) Janma Rasi are currently navigating the profound effects of Ezharai Sani (7.5 years of Saturn's transit), I wanted to open a discussion thread to share experiences and insights. Sani Bhagavan's transit through Dhanusu (Sagittarius), Makaram, and Kumbam (Aquarius) has brought significant life changes, challenges, and lessons for those born under Makaram Rasi. We are now well into the third and final phase, with Sani currently in Kumbam Rasi, which is the Dhana Sthanam (2nd house) from Makaram.
The first phase in Dhanusu often tested our mental resilience and spiritual foundations (12th house transit). The second phase, with Sani in our Janma Rasi (Makaram), brought immense pressure, health concerns, career shifts, and profound personal transformation. Now, with Sani in Kumbam, many are experiencing financial adjustments, family issues, and challenges in communication. It is often said the third phase can be more subtle but still impactful, particularly regarding wealth, speech, and extended family.
I'd love to hear from fellow Makaram Rasi natives: What have your experiences been during this Ezharai Sani period, especially during the current third phase? Have you noticed a shift in the nature of challenges or blessings? What parigarams (remedies) have you found effective? Have you visited specific Sani Sthalam temples or performed any specific poojas?
Understanding the collective experience can help us prepare better and approach Sani's lessons with more awareness. Let's discuss how Gochara Sani has shaped our lives and how we can best honor Sani Bhagavan during this powerful transit. Your insights on how this differs from previous Sani Peyarchi periods for Makaram Rasi would also be highly valuable.
I'm a bit new to Jyotisham, but my elders keep talking about Ezharai Sani for me (Makaram Rasi). Can someone explain more about how the 2nd house transit specifically impacts 'speech'? Does it mean I'll argue more, or just that my words will have more weight? And what are some simple parigarams I can do at home, as I can't travel to temples often?
Thank you for starting this thread! I'm a Makaram Rasi native too. The first phase for me was definitely about a deep internal churn, almost a spiritual cleansing. The second phase, during Janma Sani, was intensely difficult with career setbacks and unexpected health issues for family members. I had never felt such pressure before.
Now in the third phase, in Kumbam, it feels less about direct challenges and more about persistent nagging issues in family property and some miscommunication with relatives. Financially, it's not a free fall, but it's like every penny is accounted for and no easy gains. I've been offering oil to Sani Bhagavan in temples every Saturday. It helps.
I'd like to offer a slightly different perspective. While Sani in the Dhana Sthanam can bring financial challenges, it's also a time when one truly understands the value of money and resources. For some Makaram Rasi individuals, especially those with a strong Guru in their natal chart or a favourable Sukran Dasha running, this phase, while demanding, can also crystallise future financial security through hard work and sound decisions.
It's crucial to look at the overall Dasha-Bukthi period one is currently undergoing. If one is in a Sani Dasha, the Ezharai Sani can amplify its effects. However, if a benefic Dasha like Guru Dasha is active, the difficulties might be cushioned. The interaction between gochara Sani and the natal chart's Dasha lord is paramount for a precise prediction.
My experience as a Makaram Rasi has been particularly intense. The first phase was all about letting go of old beliefs and unhealthy attachments. The second, during Janma Sani, brought a complete restructuring of my identity and career path. I faced immense loneliness and self-doubt. Now, in the third phase with Sani in Kumbam, the financial aspect is indeed central. I've had to make tough decisions about investments and my children's education.
I find that consistent spiritual practices like meditation and chanting the 'Om Namah Shivaya' mantra have been my greatest support. Sani is a devotee of Shiva, and pleasing Shiva can alleviate Sani's difficult aspects. Also, regular donations to temples or charities, especially on Saturdays, help to balance the karmic ledger. This period is truly a test of faith and resilience.
Absolutely spot on with the description of the three phases! My Makaram Rasi friends and I have been discussing this at length. The Dhana Sthanam phase is definitely making us re-evaluate our spending habits and savings. It feels like Sani Bhagavan is putting us through a financial audit!
I've noticed that any careless spending or speculation immediately backfires. It's like Sani is forcing financial discipline upon us. I've heard that offering black sesame seeds (til) to Sani Bhagavan or in Sani Homas can be very beneficial. Has anyone tried this?
For Makaram Rasi natives, Sani transiting through Kumbam Rasi also means it is transiting through the nakshatras of Dhanishta (last two padas), Satabhisha, and Purva Bhadrapada (first three padas). Depending on your Janma Nakshatra, the effects can vary. For example, if your Janma Nakshatra falls under Budhan's influence, the communication challenges might be more pronounced.
Also, Sani's aspects from Kumbam are crucial. Sani aspects the 4th house (Rishabam - home, mother), 7th house (Simham - partnerships, spouse), and 11th house (Vrichigam - gains, elder siblings). This means that while Dhana Sthanam issues are prominent, there can also be associated pressures regarding family property, relationship dynamics, or gains from investments. A holistic view of the Dasha-Bukthi and natal chart is always necessary for a comprehensive reading.
I agree that the third phase feels subtle, but the impact is profound. For me, the challenges have shifted from outward struggles to more internal, psychological tests related to self-worth and my values concerning wealth. I've learned to be more discerning with my words and to value genuine connections over superficial ones.
I highly recommend visiting temples of Lord Hanuman on Saturdays. Hanuman is said to mitigate the malefic effects of Sani. Chanting the 'Hanuman Chalisa' or 'Sani Chalisa' during Rahu Kalam on Saturdays can provide significant relief. It’s about building inner strength to face Sani's lessons.
This thread is incredibly helpful. I'm a Makaram Rasi, and the first two phases were indeed tough. Health was a major concern during Janma Sani. Now, in Kumbam, I've had some minor accidents that led to unexpected medical bills, impacting my finances. It feels like one step forward, two steps back sometimes.
I've found solace in feeding stray animals, especially dogs, on Saturdays. It's a small act of kindness, but it feels like it helps balance out the difficult energies. Also, I try to meditate and maintain a positive attitude, understanding that this period is temporary and meant to teach me resilience.
As a seasoned Jyotish enthusiast, I can confirm that the third phase of Ezharai Sani in the Dhana Sthanam is not to be underestimated. While it might lack the dramatic external shifts of Janma Sani, its internal impact on one's sense of security and values is significant. It can force a re-evaluation of financial priorities and lead to a more conservative, yet ultimately stronger, financial outlook.
For parigarams, consider donating black items (clothes, blankets) to the less fortunate on Saturdays. Also, regular recitation of the Dasharatha Sani Stotram is highly potent for Sani Dosha Nivaranam. It's not just about overcoming challenges but understanding the karmic lessons Sani Bhagavan is delivering. Discipline and righteousness are the ultimate remedies.
Thank you for this discussion! I am a Makaram Rasi native, and the third phase has been a mixed bag. Yes, there have been unexpected financial outlays and a need to be very careful with money. However, it has also brought a clarity to family matters that was missing before. Some long-standing issues have come to the surface, allowing for resolution, albeit after some difficult conversations.
The challenges are definitely present, but I've also found a certain inner strength and wisdom growing through them. I've been visiting my local Vinayagar temple on Fridays and making offerings, which seems to bring a sense of stability. Sani Bhagavan, after all, brings wisdom through experience.
Vannakkam! This is an excellent thread for Makaram Rasi natives. Your analysis of Ezharai Sani's phases is spot on. For the current third phase, with Sani Bhagavan transiting in Kumbam, which is the Dhana Sthanam (2nd house) from your Janma Rasi, the focus naturally shifts to wealth, family, and communication. Sani's karakatwas include delays, austerity, and hard work. In the 2nd house, this often manifests as financial fluctuations, unexpected expenditures, or a need to be very disciplined with money. You might find issues related to ancestral property or family disputes surfacing.
Furthermore, the 2nd house also governs speech (Vak Sthanam) and eyes. Some individuals might experience challenges in articulating their thoughts clearly, leading to misunderstandings, or even minor eye-related issues. The family environment might feel more demanding, requiring patience and understanding. It's crucial to remember that Sani always tests and refines; the lessons learned now will bring long-term stability in these areas.
For parigarams, regular recitation of the Sani Moola Mantra or Dasamsa Gayathri can be very effective. Visiting a Sani Sthalam like Thirunallar, especially on a Shanivaar, and offering Til Deepam (sesame oil lamp) is highly recommended. Fasting on Saturdays or feeding crows with cooked rice mixed with sesame seeds (ellu sadam) are traditional remedies that appease Sani Bhagavan. Also, being mindful of your speech and avoiding harsh words can significantly mitigate negative effects.
Thank you for starting this much-needed discussion! As a fellow Makaram Rasi native, I can definitely resonate with your experiences. The first phase with Sani in Dhanusu was indeed tough on mental peace – I felt isolated and had many spiritual dilemmas. The second phase, with Sani in my Janma Rasi, brought significant career shifts and health concerns that felt like a huge burden. I felt immense pressure constantly.
Now, in the third phase with Sani in Kumbam, it's exactly as you described – it's more subtle but impactful. My financial situation has become quite unpredictable, with unexpected expenses cropping up. Communication within the family, especially with extended relatives, has seen some friction. It feels less about direct challenges and more about navigating complex interpersonal dynamics and money management. I've also noticed a change in my own speech, sometimes finding it harder to express myself clearly.
I've been trying to do some simple parigarams, like lighting a lamp with gingelly oil on Saturdays. I also try to chant the Hanuman Chalisa. Have others found that performing specific poojas for Sani Bhagavan has made a noticeable difference, especially during this Dhana Sthanam transit? I'm curious if the impact is different for those whose natal Sani is strong versus weak in their Janma Kundali during this gochara.
