Essence of the Sutra
Saturn (Śani) and Venus (Śukra) are ātma-sambandhī mitra
(deeply connected and friendly planets).
In their mutual periods (Mahādasha–Antardasha), they are
expected to deliver the results of the Mahādasha lord.
However, the sutra emphasises vyatyaya (reversal):
instead of reflecting the Mahādasha lord’s results, each planet asserts its own
independent significations.
Thus, in Saturn Mahādasha, Venus Antardasha will push
Venusian results; in Venus Mahādasha, Saturn Antardasha will push Saturnine
results.
Philosophical and Practical Meaning
Contradictory Significations:
Saturn = austerity, scarcity, discipline, detachment.
Venus = indulgence, pleasure, luxury, sensuality.
When indulgence (Venus) is attempted in an austere setup
(Saturn), imbalance arises.
Physiological Correlation:
Saturn = Vāta (air principle, drying, dispersing).
Venus = Kapha (fluids, secretions, cohesion).
Vāta dries up Kapha → imbalance → sickness or depletion.
Practical Outcomes:
Financial strain, resource scarcity, or health disturbances
often manifest.
The “friendship” of Saturn and Venus paradoxically creates
tension because their domains oppose each other.
Refined Interpretation
In Saturn Mahādasha, Venus Antardasha:
Venus attempts to introduce indulgence, but Saturn’s austerity restricts
resources. The clash leads to imbalance, loss, or illness.
In Venus Mahādasha, Saturn Antardasha:
Saturn imposes austerity upon Venus’s indulgent framework, again disturbing
harmony and producing scarcity or health issues.
The sutra’s emphasis on “vyatyayena viśeṣeṇa”
highlights that these periods are not straightforward but enigmatic—results are
reversed, intensified, and often contrary to expectation.
Aphoristic Summary
शनि–शुक्रौ मित्रौ सन्ति, तथापि परस्परदशायां
स्वफलमेव प्रदिशतः, न तु महादशाधिपफलम्।
अतः सुख–दुःखयोः व्यत्ययः, वित्त–आरोग्ययोः हानिः।

Combination |
Planetary Nature |
Physiological Impact |
Financial/Material Outcome |
Philosophical Essence |
|
Saturn MD – Venus AD |
Saturn = austerity, scarcity, discipline; Venus =
indulgence, pleasure, luxury |
Vāta (air) dries Kapha (fluids), imbalance → weakness,
depletion |
Venus pushes indulgence in Saturn’s austere frame →
financial strain, loss, or sickness |
Attempting bhoga (pleasure) in scarcity leads to
imbalance; austerity resists indulgence |
|
Venus MD – Saturn AD |
Venus = indulgence, cohesion, enjoyment; Saturn =
austerity, detachment |
Saturn imposes dryness on Venus’s fluidity → fatigue,
restriction |
Saturn pushes scarcity within Venus’s indulgent framework
→ resources collapse, austerity dominates |
Pleasure curtailed by discipline; austerity intrudes upon
indulgence, creating tension |
|
Shared Sutra Principle |
Both are ātma-sambandhī mitra (friends) yet act
independently |
Mutual reversal (vyatyaya) of expected results |
Instead of Mahādasha lord’s results, each asserts its own |
Enigmatic periods: friendship paradoxically creates
opposition, imbalance, and reversal |
Key Aphorism
शनि–शुक्रौ मित्रौ सन्ति, तथापि परस्परदशायां
स्वफलमेव प्रदिशतः, न तु महादशाधिपफलम्।
अतः वित्त–आरोग्ययोः हानिः, सुख–दुःखयोः व्यत्ययः।
This chart operationalizes the sutra:
Saturn MD–Venus AD → indulgence in scarcity →
imbalance.
Venus MD–Saturn AD → austerity in indulgence →
imbalance.
Both highlight the paradox of friendship yet opposition,
producing enigmatic outcomes.
