In Vedic astrology, Saturn (Shani Dev) is known as the Karma-karaka, the planet that rewards or punishes based on our actions. While feared for delays and discipline, Saturn is also the greatest teacher, guiding us toward maturity, patience, and stability.

In 2025, Saturn will continue its journey in Aquarius (Kumbh Rashi) until March 29, 2025, and then move into Pisces (Meen Rashi) at 3:52 PM IST. This transition will deeply impact all zodiac signs, shaping career, health, relationships, and spiritual evolution.

As the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra says:

“Shanivaro balam shreshtham, karme phalam pradashanam”
(“On Saturdays, Shani Dev delivers the results of one’s past actions.”)
