Myth and role
Shani is the son of Surya and his shadow-wife Chhaya. A quarrel with his half-brother Yama left him lame, so he walks the sky more slowly than any other planet. Many stories tell of even the gods falling into hardship under Shani’s gaze.
In Vedic astrology Saturn governs time, patience, labor, karma, and justice. It is read as the planet whose rewards come late but last.

Everything so far is fixed by your date of birth alone. The 27 birth stars depend on where the Moon was at the moment of birth, so they need a birth time to be certain.
