Saturn is currently transiting through the sign of Aquarius and will move into Pisces on March 29, 2025. It will remain in Pisces until June 3, 2027.
Saturn is generally not considered a benefic planet unless it is positioned in certain houses or has rulership over specific houses. In general, Saturn is associated with qualities like poverty, laziness, and disorder, and is linked to limitations and restrictions in a person’s life. It is also known for bringing delays and obstacles. However, despite these challenges, Saturn can also indicate longevity in an individual’s chart.
As the second largest planet in our Solar System, Saturn is often regarded as a benefic planet by the public. Its slow movement has earned it the name “Shani,” which means “one who moves slowly” in Sanskrit or Hindi. Saturn stays in each sign for approximately two and a half years and is located at the outermost boundary of the solar system.
For natives with Taurus, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius ascendants, if Saturn is well-placed in their charts, it can bring significant benefits, including wealth, authority, administrative skills, high positions, and overall success during its dasha period. When Saturn is positioned in the third, sixth, or ninth houses of a chart, these placements are considered particularly auspicious, as they can make a person wealthy, powerful, and diligent. In other houses, Saturn may bring mixed or negative results. Natives under Saturn’s influence tend to be serious, goal-oriented individuals. However, if Saturn’s placement is malefic, it can lead to considerable difficulties, including restrictions, delays, and challenges in every area of life.
One key aspect of Saturn is its role in purifying individuals. It often does so by presenting difficulties and challenges that encourage growth, but it does not create criminal or harmful tendencies—such results are typically associated with malefic influences like Mars or Rahu.
Below is a detailed description of Saturn’s transit in Pisces starting from March 29, 2025, for each Moon sign. However, the complete picture can only be accurately understood by examining other planetary placements, such as the planets in conjunction with Saturn, the aspects from other planets, and the sign, house, and nakshatra Saturn occupies.
