Shani is one of the nine primary celestial beings in Vedic astrology. Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn. Shani is the Lord of Saturday. The origin of word Shani comes from the following: Shanaye Kramati Sa i.e. the one who moves slowly. Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around the Sun, thus it moves slowly compared to other planets, thus the Sanskrit name. Shani is actually a demi-god and is a son of Surya (the Hindu Sun God) and Surya's wife Chhaya. It is said that when he opened his eyes as a baby for the very first time, the Sun went into an eclipse, which clearly denotes the impact of Shani on astrological charts (horoscope). He is depicted dark in colour, clothed in black; holding two daggers.
