I agree a lot with anonymous, Saturn exaltation in Libra, contrasted with the Sun’s debilitation in the same sign shows the necessity of diminishing excessive emphasis on the self in order for a relationship to be successful and enduring. In the Puranas, it is written that Surya’s wife, Sanjna, grew unhappy in her marriage to Surya (the personification of the Sun). As a result, she created a clone of herself named Chhaya (shadow) as a substitute and left the relationship due to the intense heat and light that emanated from him. However, Surya hadn’t noticed that Sanjna left and a shadow had filled in her place until much later on. The Sun is inherently individualistic. As a self-luminous graha, it derives power solely from itself and does not require reflection or reciprocity to affirm its existence. This is why its exaltation in Aries makes complete sense. The word Aja is associated with Aries, literally refers to a goat, but it also means “unborn”. The state of being unborn is a soul prior to incarnating in a body. The Sun, as the significator of the soul, embodies this “unborn” state (this self-sustaining force of life). Which means the Sun works at its best when it can prioritize the self in its entirety. The Sun specifically reaches the height of exaltation at 10 degrees (In numerology, the number 10 equals to the number 1, which is associated with the Sun) of Aries, which is in the nakshatra of Ashwini, whom shakti is shidhra vyapani and it’s the power to quickly reach things. Ashwini is the energy that propels us forward, carrying the self through its own will and fully into the next incarnation (launching the beginning of our new life).

In Libra, the Sun’s vitality diminishes because the focus is being redirected toward another, as partnership requires a portion of its attention to be shared rather than focused entirely on oneself. This redirection can be constructive or destructive depending on how it is handled. When disproportionate focus is placed on the self, it invites ego clashes and a resistance to compromise, both of which undermine relational harmony. On the other hand, placing excessive focus on the other person while abandoning oneself is equally detrimental. Such imbalance can lead to the gradual deterioration of the relationship, either because it is being neglected by both parties or because it becomes one sided, sustained by only one person in a dynamic that inherently requires mutual participation. Libra, symbolized by the scales, which are often illustrated as balance, is particularly sensitive to unequal distribution of effort. If weight placed on either side is uneven, the relationship cannot remain stable. For a partnership to thrive, there must be a mutual and consistent investment of effort from both individuals. Libra being exalted in Saturn shows how shared responsibility, a mutual and equitable distribution of effort and time, objective and fair judgment are a few key components for sustaining balance and longevity within relationships.

In many ways, Saturn-ruled nakshatras mirror these qualities, placing an emphasis on duty, sustained effort, humility, patience, and perseverance. Partnerships for them are approached with a sense of obligation and commitment rather than the relationship being centered around their own needs and identity. An issue can arise of them not feeling appreciated for their efforts put in these partnerships (especially if it’s just them putting in the work), seemingly being taken for granted, so later in life they can become cautious on who they commit themselves to (for those who become aware of that). On the other hand, Sun-ruled nakshatras (especially men) should be mindful of becoming neglectful in their partnerships. Like Surya, who continued his focus on his role as the Sun (centered focus), while his wife had been distanced herself from him, they may sometimes fail to notice when their partner has become withdrawn/distant/or changed (a shadow of their former self). If Surya had truly seen his wife’s discomfort, he would have recognized how much she was managing despite being overwhelmed by him. The Sun can illuminate our inner path, providing a strong sense of purpose and direction. However, when its energy is inflated by ego, its heat can scorch, pushing others away and creating experiences of isolation. That’s why Surya sought Vishwakarma (Sanjna’s father), so he could reduce his radiance so he can successfully reunite with his wife (notice, his light didn’t get snuff out entirely but softened. Be cautious of those who attempt to snuff it out entirely).

Notes: One of the main reasons Saturn reaches the height of its exaltation at 10 degrees of Libra, which falls in Swati nakshatra, is because Shani promised to spare the devotees of Hanuman, the son of Vayu, from his harsher effects. Why? Because Hanuman saved him from his imprisonment by King Ravana. This is why praying to Hanuman can be beneficial as it dwindles the harsh effects of Saturn. Generally, Hanuman has traits which align well with what Saturn would like in the first place. Here are a few of the characteristics of Hanuman 🐒 power (he is practically invincible with the amount of power he has) without ego (he shows humility and humbleness), strength guided by devotion (towards Rama) and action rooted in selfless service (accordance to Rama).

There are several sects in India who revere Surya Dev and also consider themselves as Suryavanshi. But is Surya Dev merely a revered Hindu deity, or holds cosmic power too?

"Greetings Maharaj..." Came the voice of Maharishi Ved Vyas.

"Greetings Maharishi!" Dhritarashtra replied, followed by everyone.

Maharishi's gaze swept across the room and then he nodded. He accepted everyone's greetings before stating his goal. "I have only come here due to Vasudev's request. Vasudev, i have made the medicine as per required. Please take her from here and instruct the doctors to apply it the required way." Muralimanohar nodded, finally smiling and lifted Gudhakeshaa in his arms and departed without saying a word.

Ved Vyas was now standing in the middle of the courtroom. "Is it true that my brother cheated in the game, Maharishi?" it wasn't the Maharani's tired voice, it was the voice of a tired mother. "Yes Maharani, it is indeed true. Your brother had made the dice with the bone of your deceased father so that the dice would listen to only his command. The game was illegal from the start." That answer was not to empathize with anyone, it was only used to convey the truth.

Shakuni tried to hide his presence behind his nephew's large body. The appearance of Krishna and Vyas was beyond his wildest dreams. Duryodhan was no different. He was panicked because their plan was exposed, but of course he had no regrets at all.

"Who is Naari, Maharishi? And why did Govind call metion her name and...w-what happenrd with Aryaputri Arjuni?" Draupadi asked, still sobbing yet gradually lesser.

"Because that is the truth, O' Yojnagandha. Rajkumari Arjuni is Naari and Vasudev is Narayana. They were both Great Tapasvi and Tapasvini of ancient times, two lovers who were incarnations of Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi. They were reborn in this age to uphold dharma, as well as to complete the purpose of their incarnation. In the concept of Naari and Narayan, the divine manasvi souled Naari is an eternal beloved of the Most Pure, divine souled Narayan. As per what happened with Rajkumari Arjuni, she just unlocked her full power due to the anger she had bottled up for years."

Maharishi began to tell the story of the Eternal Soulmates.

"Once upon a time, there lived an Asura called Dambhodbhava. Dambhodbhava wanted to become very powerful. So he prayed to Lord Surya. Lord Surya who was pleased his devotion emerged and gave him a boon. However, Dambhodbhava asked for immortality. Surya said that was impossible because every living creature born in the world must die so that the nature remains in balance. Unless there is a destiny that must be fulfilled. Dambhodbhava thought and said: 'My Lord, then give me a thousand armors (Kavach) that will protect my body, and only a person who performs penance for thousands of years can penetrate my armor, and that person will die after penetrating this armor of mine.'

Finally, Lord Surya granted the wish by giving him a thousand Kavach and a thousand earrings (Kundal) on a thousand heads. From then on Dambhodbhava was known as Sahasrakavacha (The One with a Thousand Armours) and he used his powers to do evil.

At that time, devi Murti, the daughter of Daksha, wanted to end the threat of Sahasrakavacha and prayed to Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu appeared before her and gave a boon that he would be born as her son and would be the cause of Sahasrakavach's death. Later she gave birth to Narayana. Lord Vishnu had divided his soul in two parts and Devi Lakshmi mixed the major part of her energy with the smaller division, so Devi Lakshmi reincarnated on Earth along with her eternal soulmate.

Narayana and Naari grew up in a dormitory surrounded by lush forests. They are devoted worshipers of Lord Shiva. Their mothers and families also encouraged them to study supernatural powers. The two lovera learned the art of war. They are inseparable. Both of them trusted each other and never doubted the other.

As time went by, Sahasrakavacha started attacking the area around Badrinath forest, where Narayana and Naari lived. Naari went to Sahasrakavacha and challenged him. Sahasrakavacha belittled her and said that no one would be able to defeat him and penetrate his magic armor, but Naari just smiled calmly, Sahasrakavacha looked into her calm, lotus eyes and for the first time, he had felt fear.

The dusky complexioned, bewitching, female fighter and sage had striked fear in the evil doer's heart.

He said nervously. "I can be killed just by doing penance for thousands of years!"

Naari gave a calm smile. "I am well aware of that. I did not do any penance, but my Narayan has done it for me."

Sahasrakavacha took up arms and the fight began. Sahasrakavacha faced Naari's attacks and was shocked. He realized that Naari was very powerful and indeed got a lot of strength from her companion, Narayan.

Sahasrakavacha's first armor broke and he realized that Naari and Narayan were connected from the deepest depths to the shallowest surface of their souls. They are just two people yet have the same soul. But Sahasrakavacha wasn't too worried. He only lost one of his kavach and soon, Naari died.

When Narayan came there, he smiled sadly at his Naari, as he just saw her die in front of him. He closed his eyes and chanted a spell. Sahasrakavacha was frightened when he realized that Narayana had performed austerities for a thousand years and had acquired the Mritunjay Mantra.

And so on, the cycle repeated, until Naari succeeded in breaking through the nine hundred and ninty nineth armor and Narayan had to witness her death for a total of nine hundred and ninety nine times, and his heart broke more than before each time she died. Sahasrakavacha realised he could never defeat the two. He fled and took refuge under Suryadev.

Narayana and Naari went to Lord Surya and asked him to hand over Sahasrakavacha. But Lord Surya refused because Sahasrakavacha was His ardent devotee. Naari was overcame with rage amd cursed Surya that a part of his energy and Sahasrakavacha's soul would become one and be born as a human, and would experienced many misfortunes during his life.

Then later on, Lord Shiva tried to bring out Naari and Narayan's fame throughout the world. To do so, he threw his ultimate weapon, the Pasupatastra at them. The power of their meditation was so powerful that the weapon lost its power before them. Lord Shiva stated that this happened because they were the first jnanas who were constantly in the Nirvikalpa Samadhi stage.

This incident took place at the end of the Treta Yuga. Soon after the Treta Yuga ended and the Dwapara Yuga began, to fulfill the promise of destroying the Sahasrakavacha and to destroy the evil, Narayan and Naari were reborn. This time as Vasudev Krishna and Rajkumari Arjuni."

"We have made a grave mistake!" Said the Mahamantri, Vidur. "Please, do give us advice on what we should do!"

"Just as Vasudev has said, Mahamantri, your next actions will determine the fate of the Kuru Dynasty. I advise you to return the property of the Pandavas treat them well. Otherwise, I can guarantee that a major war will occur."
