Saturn in Aquarius Sidereal
Shani in Kumbha: first twenty degrees as moolatrikona in one reading, otherwise as Makara; lasting authority.
Here twenty degrees make the difference. Kumbha, the sidereal Aquarius, is a sign of Shani, and in an old reading its first twenty degrees are its moolatrikona. Another makes no difference and gives Kumbha exactly the reading of Makara. You enjoy what you have earned yourself. Your authority is lasting and you are seen at the head of a city, a village or an army, as a gift for holding the helm, not as a guarantee of an official sash. Looking after yourself holds you back little.
Shani rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Aquarius sidereal; to read all about Shani, see the Shani guide.

Why is my Saturn not in the same sign as in Western astrology?
The sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology is shifted by about 24 degrees from the zodiac of the seasons: most planets move back one sign. Calculating your Vedic chart gives you their true place.
