In astrological science, the movement of the planet Saturn is considered extremely significant. Shani Deva, revered as the deity of justice and the giver of karma, will soon change its movement. According to forecasts, on July 27, 2026, Saturn will begin moving in reverse (retrograde). This state will last for the next 137 days, until December 11, 2026.
The Influence of Saturn's Retrograde Motion
According to astrological calculations, when any planet that moves slowly or is severe enters a retrograde position, its influence becomes extremely strong. Saturn's retrograde motion will affect all 12 zodiac signs, but four signs require special vigilance during this period. Residents of these signs face potential serious damage in financial, mental, and physical aspects.
Forecasts for Individual Signs
For Aries representatives, Saturn's retrograde motion may cause turbulence in professional and financial spheres. People working will experience a sharp increase in work pressure. Disagreements with superiors are possible, which could jeopardize their job. It is also recommended to refrain from investing in new ventures to avoid being tied up with funds, and to avoid arguments.
Cancer residents will face increased difficulties, as the influence of Shani Dhaiya is already acting upon them. During this period, sudden large expenses may arise, leading to budget disruption. Conflicts are possible within the family. Special attention must be paid to health, and extreme caution should be exercised when driving due to the risk of injury.
For Capricorn representatives, the last stage of Sade Sati Shani is currently concluding. During the retrograde period, Saturn may conduct a strict examination. Business deals that seemed profitable may suddenly stall. There is a possibility of deception in partnerships, and accumulated funds may be spent. It is advised not to lend money, as the probability of return is extremely low, and to control one's speech.
Pisces people are undergoing the second, most difficult stage of Sade Sati Shani. Saturn's retrograde motion will cause them strong mental discomfort. In any activity, they will have to face unforeseen delays and obstacles. Concluding matters may suddenly fail. Mental stress can lead to insomnia and a feeling of unknown fear. During this period, legal proceedings should be avoided, and investments should not be considered.
Ways to Mitigate Negative Influence
There are special methods to protect against the adverse consequences of retrograde Saturn. It is recommended to perform Deepdan in the evenings on Saturday under a ash tree, lighting oil and repeating the mantra 'Om Shan Naishcharaaya Namah' 108 times. It is also beneficial to regularly read Hanuman Chalisa or Bajrang Baan, as Shani Deva does not harm followers of Ganesha.
An important practical step is charity: on Saturday, black lentils, black moonstone, umbrellas, shoes, or black clothing should be donated to those in need. Furthermore, Shani Deva values justice, so it is strictly forbidden during this period to insult service workers, cleaners, or laborers, as this will immediately intensify Saturn's anger.
