Shani is not easy to placate because it is 792 million Miles away from the earth and it is breath-taking to realize that the earth’s diameter is 7918 miles and is about 1/10 of the size of the giant planet but still capable of teaching the harsh realities of life, making one practical, persevering & disciplined.
It is an accepted fact that all the 9 planets( Navagrahas) influence the humans in their day-to-day life from birth to death, by conferring on them penury or prosperity, intelligence or stupidity, happiness or sorrow health/sickness, Longevity or untimely demise in proportion to the merits or sins earned by them in their previous births. Saturn which has Jurisdiction over the Strongest Kendra. (The Capricorn) has the highest influence on one's Karma. One of the Sanskrit meanings of Capricorn is Nakra (नक्र) is a Sanskrit word referring to a “crocodile” or “alligator”. Like this huge reptile, Saturn is regarded as Cold, sluggish and gloomy in temperament. Highly skilled predators (Judge Dredd of One's Karma) like the Crocodile who do not let the target slip away easily from his strong grip. The attribute of Saturn is similar to the crocodile who is very ruthless from inside and when he flexes his power no boundaries of ethics and morality can quell him from having the things done as per his choice.
Hence it is just impossible to bargain with Saturn. Capricorn is a high alert sign. This sign is the storage house of all kinds of karmas done in this life.
The Capricorn sign represents the crocodile's sleep. Crocodiles can sleep with one eye open, which signifies that one’s karma is always on surveillance of Saturn/Kaal. On account of his possessing supreme powers for producing misery and unhappiness his transits from one house to another is looked upon with great significance. And That's why devotees do poojas, archanas and invoke other forms of pacificatory rituals to modify this as best as they can. The Remedies are exercising the freewill and complete surrender to the divinity to bail out from the sufferings.
As we believe that Shani Dev having a benign aspect can be looked forward to blessing the nativities and redeem them of their sins. Shani appreciates the “selfless” karma. He doesn’t get impressed if the Karma is related to planetary remedy.
