Understanding Saturn Transit 2026
Saturn, known as Shani in Vedic astrology, is currently transiting through Pisces (Meena Rashi) from March 2025 to February 2028. This is a significant cosmic event that affects all zodiac signs differently based on your Moon sign (Rashi).
Why Saturn Transit Matters
Saturn is the karmic teacher of the zodiac. Unlike other planetary transits, Saturn moves slowly, spending approximately 2.5 years in each sign. This extended stay creates deep, lasting changes in the areas of life it touches.
Key themes of Saturn transit include:
- Discipline and structure
- Karmic lessons and responsibilities
- Career and long-term goals
- Delays that lead to eventual success
- Testing of patience and commitment
