Years each planet rules

Indian astrological tradition has been of the view that Saturn rules the first six years of a person's life. Rahu follows Saturn. It rules the years 7th to 12th, Ketu then comes in and rules the 13th to 15th years, followed by Jupiter that controls the life between the 16th to 21st years. The Sun is repsonsible for the 22nd and 23rd years, the Moon for the 24th year, Venus for the 25th to 27th year, Mars from the 28th to 33rd year and Mercury from the 34th to 35th year. After the 35th year the cycle repeats for the next 35 years and so on to the end of life.Therefore the 36th year to 41st year is again ruled by Saturn and so on.
The results pertaining to houses and karakas that a planet is related to would appear in the years allotted to that planet. For example, between the 51st to 56th year, if Jupiter is related to Rahu, and to the eleventh and ninth houses, the person may travel abroad. When Venus is related to Jupiter and to the fifth and eleventh houses the person may have a love affair between his 25th and 27th year. If Venus is related to Saturn and to the fifth and twelfth houses, the romance may come to an end during these years.
The transit of planets during their respective years is of primary importance and would produce results that their relationships indicate in the birth chart. For example, if Venus shows break in romance, during its transit in the years allotted to it, when it comes in contact with Saturn, the fifth and twelfth houses at the same time, it will bring the romance to an end.
There are techniques that help us in isolating the year within the band of years allotted to a planet in which one of the many events promised by a planet in its band of years would happen. The exact month and even day can then be determined through the use of its transit. We will discuss these techniques in a subsequent blog.
