On March 29, 2025, at approximately 10:07 PM IST, Saturn (Shani), the planet of karma, discipline, and justice, will move from Aquarius (Kumbha Rashi) to Pisces (Meen Rashi). In Indian astrology, this transit is a significant event, as Saturn spends about 2.5 years in each zodiac sign, shaping our lives through lessons of perseverance and responsibility. This shift into Pisces, a sign ruled by Jupiter (Guru), blends Saturn’s structured energy with Pisces’ intuitive and spiritual nature, promising a transformative period until June 3, 2027.
Astrological Significance
Saturn’s transit into Pisces marks the end of Sade Sati (7.5-year challenging period) for Capricorn natives, while it begins for Aries. Pisces natives will enter the second phase, and Aquarius will face the final stretch. Additionally, Scorpio’s Dhaiya (2.5-year testing phase) concludes, shifting to Sagittarius. This transit coincides with a New Moon and a Solar Eclipse, amplifying its intensity and urging us to confront karmic patterns.
