There are some Deities in Hinduism who are called with the epithet Iswara.
Lord Shiva as Parameswara.
Another is Sani, Saturn.
The pronunciation for Saturn in Sanskrit is Sanaiscara, one who moves slowly. as Saturn takes 30 years to orbit around the Sun.
Special status is bestowed on Sanesswara.
He grants boons after he tests you.
No real harm befalls one.
They are like Traffic signals.
Like a Traffic Signal they indicate the directions your life might take, based on your actions. past and present, Karma Phala.
As such one has to withstand the pressures exerted by the Planets.
On this concept, the Vishnu Sahasranama has an excellent sloka.
It calls Lord Vishnu as,
'Dhukka bhukh, Dhukka Saadhana:'
Vishnu is the repository of Dhukka, adversity , but,
He is also the One who grants you the strength, tools to overcome the trials and tribulations.
Hinduism is the only Religion which dares to call God as the repository of Adversity!
As such one can not escape the results of one's actions .
What can be done is to pray the Navagrahas and God to grant the strength to overcome the difficulties.
Here are some Stotras on Saneeswara.
