Discipline, longevity, karma. Shani is the karaka of discipline, longevity and accumulated karma. Saade Sati is Shani's 7.5-year transit; the Hanuman yantra is its classical remedy.

Sacred day

Saturday. Activate the yantra at sunrise on this day for the strongest field.

Bija mantra

Om Pram Prim Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namaha

Chant 108 times daily during the activation period (40 days minimum), and 27 times daily thereafter.

Hanuman Yantra Card — the traditional Bhagya Cards pairing for Shani (Saturn).

When to invoke

If your kundali shows Shani (Saturn) as a weak or afflicted graha, or if you are currently in its mahadasha or antardasha, the yantra is the standard upaaya. Combine with the bija mantra, a charity in the planet's name, and (for some grahas) fasting on the appropriate day.
