Introduction
In Part 3, we discussed how Panaphara houses (2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th) contribute to Purnayu Yoga, ensuring a long lifespan of 75-100 years. Now, we shift our focus to Saturn, the planet of discipline, endurance, and longevity.
Saturn is considered a key planet in determining life expectancy. When well-placed, Saturn provides strength, patience, and resilience, allowing a person to live a long, stable life. However, if Saturn is afflicted or weak, it can increase karmic struggles and chronic health issues.

✔ Other planetary combinations that contribute to a long lifespan.
✔ Case studies of individuals with Saturn-backed Purnayu Yogas.
✔ Remedies to strengthen Saturn and ensure a long, healthy life.
1. How Saturn Influences Purnayu Yoga
Saturn is known as Shani, the karmic teacher. It governs discipline, responsibility, and endurance, making it one of the most important planets for longevity.
🔹 When Does Saturn Support Purnayu Yoga?
✔ Saturn is placed in the 8th house (house of longevity) in a strong sign.
✔ Saturn is in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) or Trikona (5th, 9th) house.
✔ Saturn is exalted (in Libra) or in own signs (Capricorn, Aquarius).
✔ Saturn is associated with benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury).
📌 Example of Purnayu Yoga Due to Strong Saturn
A person has:
