Frequently asked questions
When does Saturn enter Aries in 2027?
Saturn enters Aries on 3 Jun 2027, 5:27 AM, slips back into Pisces while retrograde on 20 Oct 2027, 7:12 AM, moves into Aries on 23 Feb 2028, 7:23 PM, moves into Taurus on 8 Aug 2029, 12:31 PM, slips back into Aries while retrograde on 5 Oct 2029, 4:53 PM, and leaves for Taurus for good on 17 Apr 2030, 9:07 AM.
Why does Saturn go back into Pisces?
Saturn turns retrograde on 9 Aug 2027 — seen from Earth it appears to move backward — and crosses the sign boundary back into Pisces on 20 Oct 2027. It turns direct on 24 Dec 2027 and moves on again on 23 Feb 2028. The backward motion is only apparent, an effect of Earth’s own orbit.
Which nakshatras does Saturn pass through?
In order: Ashwini, Revati, Bharani, Krittika. The time it enters each is in the table above.
Whose sade sati starts or ends in 2027?
On 3 Jun 2027: sade sati begins for Taurus; the last phase pauses for Aquarius; dhaiya begins for Virgo, Capricorn. Saturn’s retrograde return brings some phases back for a while; each sign’s full dates are in the table.
Is Saturn debilitated (neecha) in Aries?
Yes. Classical texts count Aries as Saturn’s sign of debilitation, deepest at 20°. In gochar this is read as Saturn’s lessons arriving through effort and patience rather than ease. It does not by itself make the period bad: the house it occupies from your Moon, your dasha and your own chart matter more, and tradition also lists conditions that cancel the debilitation (neecha bhanga).
Is this transit good or bad for my sign?
It depends on the house the planet occupies from your Moon sign — the table above gives the classical reading for all twelve — and more on your own chart: the dasha you are running, the sign’s ashtakavarga points and where the planet sits at birth. Gochar is one layer; treat it like weather, not fate. Nothing needs to be bought to ‘fix’ it.
