The concept of "Shani influence" exists in modern Indian astrology. Shani was the son of Surya (Sun), whom he did not recognize. One day, Surya Sandhya's wife went to perform tapasya, leaving her shadow, and the shadow took the form of Sandhya. With this Shadow, Surya had a son, Shani, who was very black. Surya said it was not his son and refused him. Shani was raised by his mother, and he loved her the most. Mahadev Shiva gave Shani the ability to negatively influence everyone without exception. Shani first tried this ability on Shiva himself. Then he influenced his father Surya, which made him half black. After that, Surya agreed to recognize Shani as his son. Shani said he was withdrawing his influence, but sometimes he would still influence, and at that moment Surya would turn half black again.

China - Korea. The Chinese (Sichuan, Wu. Ya'an) [A long time ago, the sun, the month, and the rooster were brothers, the sun was older, the month was middle, and the rooster was younger. The sun took care of his younger brothers, went to work in the morning, and told them to stay at home and not be ugly. Returning from the mountains, he brought his brothers delicious fruits. He decided that he would get more without a rooster, and when the sun went to work, he called him for a walk up a high mountain and pushed him down. So the rooster fell from the sky to the ground, and since then roosters have appeared on the ground. I came home for a month, and when the sun asked him where the rooster was, he said he had gone somewhere. Since then, the sun began to fear that the month would also go away, and in the morning, when he left for work, he locked him in the house and let him out only in the evening.
