Saturn in Aries 12th House
Rules the 9th & 10 houses for Taurus ascendant.
Yoga Karaka planet.
Karako Bhavo Nashto: When the karaka (or signifying agent) of a house is placed the house of his significations it destroys the results of that house. As Karaka for the 12th house, Saturn brings too much isolation and deprivation. May be related to depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Phala Deepika Saturn in 12th house: “Makes a person impudent, indigent, childless, disabled, stupid, defeated by his enemies.”
Jataka Bharnam Saturn in 12th house: “The person is merciless, extremely poor, unhappy because of expenses, effort, and expenditure. The person is lethargic and living in company of mean people. He is devoid of some bodily organ and deprived of all kinds of happiness. Poor eyesight, excitable temperament, miserable, dirty, wicked, devoid of wealth. One is often oppressed by own men or he is opposed to them.”
B.V. Raman Saturn in the 12th house: “The native will be dull-headed and lose all his money. He will have squint eyes, a deformed limb, make many enemies, suffer losses in trade, be a pessimist and commit sin in secret.”
BPHS 9th lord in the 12th house: “Will incur loss of fortunes, will always spend his money on auspicious acts and will become poor spending money to entertain guests. When Jupiter is here they will be very generous and spend much money with the desire to increase their fame. They spend lavishly on entertaining guests without care for finances.”
B.V. Raman 9th lord in the 12th house: “Gives a poor back-ground. The native will suffer much and have to work very hard in life; even then success will not come to him. He will be religious and noble but always in want. Father may die early leaving the native penniless.” Nirbhagya Yoga: 9th lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. “The person will lose all parental property such as lands, house etc. They will have no regard from good people and elders and will be irreligious, distressed, wearing old, worn out clothes, and will remain poor and miserable.”
BPHS 10th lord in the 12th house: “The native will spend in royal courts, or for the government, will have fear from enemies and be worried despite being skilful. Trouble from authority. This is especially the case for Scorpio ascendant.” [Taurus ascendant also puts Saturn in Debilitation.]
B.V. Raman 10th lord in the 12th house: “The native will have to work in far off places. He will lack comforts and face many difficulties in life. If beneficially disposed the native becomes a spiritual seeker. If afflicted by malefic he will be separated from his family and wander about without success. He may indulge in smuggling and other nefarious activities. Rahu afflicting the 10th lord will make him a cheat and a criminal. He causes sorrow to his family and relatives.”

Saturn in Aries 12th house
Their work and studies are completed in a very secluded space. This might be a dance studio, rocket laboratory, in the Antarctic. They can take on the most difficult projects far from the spotlight where they get no recognition for their heroism. They might have a deep seated sense of guilt connected with their work, education, or their father or professors.
There is a strong potential for extreme stress, post-traumatic stress, exhaustion, depression, over-work, severe sleep disorders, night mares, disturbing dreams and fantasies, hallucinations, delusions (audio or visual). But Saturns aspect to the 2nd house will push them to bite their tongue and act normal. But we’ve also mentioned that the nature of their work might keep them fairly quiet. They are usually isolated from the real world anyways, so who are they going to talk to. They work and study and practice a lot, often times big projects that take enormous resources and a long time just to get to the starting line. This might describe their whole life. It’s like they spend the first half of their life going in the wrong direction and then have to turn everything around again and then it takes the rest of their life before they are able to feel any satisfaction for their lifestyle work.
Of course this becomes a dangerous place in the dark, at night, alone, in the studio, perhaps all that secret activity, every action has to the just right or it could be life or death or severe injury. This is why so many dancers, athletes, and mountaineers have this Saturn; but it also supports scientists whose experiments fail because someone just filed a little bit off a plug-in to make it fit. There is a kind of secret alchemy to this Saturn; all of it hush-hush behind closed doors. There might be a hesitation when they speak as if they are doubting or checking their words; and others might doubt their truthfulness as well.
Their feet and toes must feel the pain of this Saturn. The aspect to 9th house might involve the whole leg from hip to foot. And this 10th lord can’t be good for the knees. And the aspect to 6th house will slow the digestion and the aspect to 2nd is already giving a lack of nutrients in the diet. Possibly a kind of mono-diet. They will be stuck in a low level feud (blame and accusation), probably connected to their past which they would rather not talk about. There may have been some criminal activity. Of course they can also turn to drugs and addictive substances to cope.
If Sun is involved with this Saturn their sense of shame will be that much more and there is good likelihood of problems with the bones, minerals, spinal cord, skull or brain. With Moon will deepen the depression, worry and loneliness. Saturn affecting both sun or moon will tighten their isolation as they either hide their face on shame or hide themselves because of fear.

This Saturn affects their faith and their career. In both cases it can be a heavy load to bear. They will need lots of time alone, away from everything for a long time. Even if they are wealthy they will want to go
They may carry a huge burden of responsibility, self doubt, exhaustion, post-traumatic stress. They might be afraid of being left alone. On a long pilgrimage or hiatus, but it could also be some time in prison or rehab; a very simple facility that might use novel approach, dance or art therapy; but ultimately, karma yoga, service will be the main means of seeking salvation. These natives can be good meditators if they don’t fall asleep. This Saturn can bring some laziness, it makes everything just a little bit more difficult. They might be like a pack horse carrying a bunch of crap around. Several go on expedition, mountain treks, pilgrimages that go on for 1000s of kilometres.
They might also work in a nursing home, prison, hostel or campground. It supports offering hard labour as service. They might travel disputed territory, hot, dry, few signs of life, desert places, dangerous places. There might be fear of abduction, getting stuck away from home, loosing oneself, or of getting lost. There will likely be some vata, some anxiety due to aspect on the 6th house: slow digestion, nervousness, coldness, hardness. This Saturn can give a hard restriction to expenditure, loss, liberation. There is not much freedom due to the constant duties that need to be done for work, which may be because the native spent the whole day daydreaming when they should have been working. But they can loose themselves in long repetitive movements, like walking 30km per day.
They might appear free and happy on the outside while harbouring deep subconscious fears which can be paralysing. Life can feel like being stuck in a nightmare. Mars aspect or influence can add antipsychotics or other powerful poisons and drugs. May be involved with providing transportation, logistics, communication, translation, in foreign or isolated places or for foreigners. May spend some time teaching or giving service overseas, but will likely show either fear or contempt to foreign cultures. Can bring a level of racism against the very outsiders they have to work with. They will likely face much trouble travelling
Although they might tow the line for most of their lives, they will take a more independent turn later on in life.

By 1953 von Braun’s title was, “Chief, Guided Missiles Development Division, Redstone Arsenal. The May 14, ’50 headline of The Huntsville Times (“Dr. von Braun Says Rocket Flights Possible to Moon”) might have marked the beginning of these efforts.

They will be very hard workers. This is like the isolated lumber-jack; They fear the beast they have inside. Their isolation might include intense practices in the face of harsh internal criticism. Beaten down by the father step-father or perhaps the loss of a solid father figure. None-the-less, they do seem to have something to prove to their father in particular. Interesting that both Schiffer & Stoijko are both listed in the Pandora Papers as having hidden off shore accounts.
Why none?
