Saturn Transit 2026 — Shani Gochar Effects on All 12 Rashis

Saturn (Shani) is the slowest-moving visible planet, spending approximately 2.5 years in each zodiac sign. In 2026, Saturn continues its transit through Aquarius (Kumbha) — its own sign — before eventually moving to Pisces (Meena).

Saturn in Aquarius is relatively comfortable since Aquarius is Saturn's Moolatrikona sign. Saturn can express its highest qualities here — social justice, humanitarian vision, technological advancement, and structured reform.
