Saturn (Shani) is the planet of discipline, hard work, patience, and karma in Vedic astrology. It represents responsibility, delays, and life lessons. When Saturn is debilitated, its natural qualities become weakened, creating various challenges in life. Saturn is considered debilitated in the sign of Aries (Mesha Rashi), which can lead to difficulties related to career, health, and relationships.
