Meaning if Kantak Shani
During transit or gochar whenever Saturn transits to the 4th, 7th and 10th signs either from Lagna, Arudha Lagna or the Moon sign if forms Kantaka Sani. Saturn usually gives results like a thorn in the leg and the native has to limp in all activities of life. Finances in flow are stuck and there is downward trend in the business, career and profession.
Important Note: As majority of the events depend on Transits and Dasha we should also correlate the Dasha period with above Ashtam and Kantak Shani transits and more care and related remedies will be required if Sade Sati is also running during the transit of Ashtam and Kantak Shani.
As Saturn stays in a Sign for approx 2.5 years these transits have more intense and lasting transformative effects. Ashtavarga points should also be analysed.
