No, in astrology, Jupiter is considered the king of planets, but the ruler of fate is always Shani. While Jupiter rules all the planets, being a subh graha and having an authoritative trait, Saturn is the planet of fear.
Shani is referred to as the true ruler of destiny. So, is Shani really the king of all planets? Let’s explore his role in vedic astrology and understand how the gemstone,
Blue Sapphire
(Neelam) , channels his mighty energy.
Shani in English is called Saturn and is the planet of Karma. He teaches you the best lessons of life. Saturn punishes those with bad karma. The motive is simple: those who do bad will get bad. Individuals with weak Shani in their horoscope might struggle
in life, but the results are always in their fate. Shani dev planet rules two zodiac signs — Capricorn (Makara) and Aquarius (Kumbha) — and controls the 10th and 11th houses in a horoscope. These houses represent career, effort, and achievements.
In astrology, Shani is not the king of planets but is considered the ruler of fate. This planet is slow and takes time to give results, but it rewards your hard work. It is believed in astrology that Saturn is the Kurup Graha and gives good results after struggles.
So, while the Sun rules with power, Shani rules with justice. His position makes him one of the most respected planets among others. Shani may not be the king, but he is the one who controls destiny.

Shani is seen as an evil planet, but in astrology, it is the one that gives results as per your karma. If it is exalted in a birth chart, it enhances your destiny, especially when it is placed in the 9th, 11th, and 10th houses. It makes you work hard but also gives unexpected gains that you haven't even dreamt of.
Shani's 3rd gaze is self-destructive. It is the most challenging aspect as it impacts your 1st, 3rd, and 11th house in astrology. This Saturn aspect makes you struggle in life, but also brings success at the end.
Its relationship with other planets plays a significant role in astrology. Budh, Shukra, and Rahu are Shani-friendly planets, while Guru has a neutral relationship. Mangal, Surya, Ketu, and Moon are enemies of the Shani dev planet. Read More in our blog: Planetary Relationship in Vedic Astrology
