♄︎ Saturn Transit 2026
Shani Gochar · all sign-change dates & times in IST · computed to the minute
Saturn (Shani) begins 2026 in ♓︎ Pisces. It does not change sign during 2026 — Saturn stays in Pisces for the whole year, a long and important transit. In Vedic astrology, Saturn signifies discipline, hard work, longevity, justice, karma, delay, detachment and the masses, so its movement shapes those areas of life.
About Saturn transit (Shani Gochar)
A “transit” is the real-time movement of a planet through the twelve zodiac signs, as opposed to where it sat at your birth. As Saturn moves from one sign to the next, it activates a different house of your chart counted from your Moon sign or ascendant, shifting the themes that come to the fore. The dates above are calculated from precise sidereal (Lahiri) positions, so they are accurate to the minute in IST.
To see exactly what this transit means for you, read your Saturn in the houses guide, your monthly horoscope, or ask AstroAsk a question about your chart.
Transit times are computed from sidereal planetary positions (Lahiri ayanamsa) and shown in IST. For daily Moon transit and Panchang, see today’s Panchang.
