Saturn in Bharani Nakshatra

Saturn in Bharani Nakshatra gives the Saturn a more specific tone than sign alone. Bharani is ruled by Venus, symbolized by yoni, meaning "The woman who bears", and it can color the planet with themes like accidents, breakthrough, capable, and catastrophes. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Saturn or Bharani.
