Its four padas#

Each pada is 3°20′. Nine padas fill a rasi, so a star either sits in one sign or straddles two.

Which stars match, and which do not

Computed, not tabulated: the ten Tamil poruthams and the 36 guna run for all 27 stars against Uthirattathi in Meenam, with this star taken as the groom's side.

Of 36 star-and-rasi combinations, 23 match well, 4 are borderline, 3 are poor and 6 fail Rajju or Vedha outright.

The ten checks are not symmetric — Dina counts from the bride's star to the groom's, and the Tamil vasya table is read from the bride's rasi — so the list from the other side is a different list, and a real pair is checked both ways with both birth times.

Its dasha, and the parihaaram for its lord#

Everything here belongs to Sani, the star's ruling graha, and is the same table the remedy pages read.

Dasha
A child born under Uthirattathi begins life in a Sani mahadasha of 19 years, the part of it still to run decided by how far the Moon had gone through the star. Work out the periods.
Day
Saturday
Colour
Black and dark blue
Gem
Blue sapphire (Neelam) — the wearing rules
Mantra
Sani gayatri (Om Kakadhwajaya Vidmahe Khadga Hastaya Dhimahi Tanno Mandah Prachodayat); Dasaratha Sani stotram; Hanuman Chalisa — the texts
Fasting

Where it is worshipped

135 temples in the gazetteer are kept for Sani; the ones near you are on the temples page. Parihaaram is traditional practice, offered for devotion and peace of mind; it is not a guaranteed cure of any condition. Temple hours change with festivals and the season, so check before travelling.
