Saturn is a pious and law giving planet but his execution or method is with patience and good intentions…so it is just a different approach but humans want everything quickly so humans don’t appreciate Saturn…now abt your question, Saturn if aspects or conjunct with any benefic planet might create trials, tests to check how much we are able to work for our desires and goals but opposite case if Saturn aspects or conjunct with any malefic planet then Saturn will work along with the malefic planet to make more difficult tests and trials and both planets will work together to gv us more tests..but 1 important thing to note is Saturn checks our endurance or in Hindi bardasht karne ki hadd and seva karne ki hadd ya kitni zidd he…that is tested…he also wants us to believe that all living beings let it be humans or animals or plants or insects all deserve a chance to live peacefully without being hurt so he keeps a close eye on our intentions if we think or intend bad for others or if we compare..and brings difficulties…alternatively.if a person accepts everything and every situation and works to make life easy like see shiv parivar..(bull n lion and snake and rat all together)…hunters and prey live peacefully together and if people work hard for earning their living..like clean competition without mind games lies etc..then Saturn rewards bigtime and Saturn’s gift is long time stable gift unlike rahu’ gift which is illusion and will be lost anytime in future…that’s a big difference…hope I explained properly from whatever I have learnt and read…jai mahadev maa gauri…
