In Vedic astrology, among the nine celestial planets, Lord Shani (Saturn) is known as the ultimate judge of justice. He rewards individuals based on their actions, teaching them important life lessons through both blessings and challenges. While we may escape from people and situations in life, we can never escape the influence of the nine planets and among them, Shani holds a powerful role.

However, there are certain actions that deeply displease Lord Shani. Those who engage in them are believed to invite his anger, leading to hardships and lessons they must face. Here are five actions you should avoid:

Shani values truth and integrity. Those who wear a false mask, deceive others, or manipulate situations for personal gain do not receive his blessings. Even if you make a mistake and try to cover it up by blaming someone else, it displeases him.
Insulting, belittling, or mocking someone, especially without understanding their situation can anger Shani. Hurting someone’s feelings or dignity attracts his disapproval.
If someone does not act in your favour, retaliating, cursing, or deliberately causing them pain is something Shani cannot tolerate. Such actions may invite obstacles and setbacks in life.
Shani does not favor those who fail to acknowledge the help or kindness they receive. If someone supports you or contributes to your growth, it’s important to show gratitude. Using people and discarding them later can lead to karmic consequences under Shani’s watch.
Acting with pride, looking down on others, or using wealth and authority to oppress people displeases Shani. He ensures that those who misuse their position are taught an appropriate lesson.

Actions That Please Lord Shani

During a person’s lifetime, Shani Mahadasha, a significant 19-year planetary period, plays a crucial role. This phase requires carefulness, as negative actions and harsh words can lead to serious consequences.

Those whose birth signs place Shani in the 4th, 7th, or 10th house are believed to face more challenges during this time. Shani observes past actions closely and rewards or punishes based on karma. However, there are ways to stay protected and invite his blessings:

- Stay calm and balanced in both happiness and hardship.
- Avoid greed and unnecessary desires for material possessions.
- Remain humble and refrain from acting with arrogance.
- Light sesame oil lamps on Saturdays to honor Lord Shani.
- Donate black clothes, black sesame seeds, or black gram (urad dal).
- Chant Shani mantras regularly and worship Lord Hanuman for relief and protection.
