According to Vedic astrology, Shani Bhagavan is one of the nine Navagraha or planets. Shani is considered to be the strongest malefic and a stern teacher who represents patience, effort, endeavour, and endurance; and who brings restrictions and misfortunes. However, a favourably placed Shani on the horoscope of a person stands for a strong career, healthy life and everything positive for that person. Sani/ Shani (Sanskrit ) is one of the Navagraha which are the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology, or Jyoti?a. Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn. Shani is the Lord of Saturday; the word Shani also denotes the seventh day or Saturday in most Indian languages. The word Shani / sani comes Shanaye Kramati Sa: , the one who moves slowly, as Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around the Sun. Shani is also known as Shanaishwar Shani Bhagavan, Shaneesvara, Saneesvara, Shaneesvaran, Shani Deva.
