Five Zodiac Signs Will Experience Good Fortune During Pitru Paksha 2026, While Three Planets, Including Rahu, Will Move Retrograde

In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu are considered shadow planets or 'illusory planets.' Both of these planets belong to the Navagrahas and always move in a retrograde direction.

Since the movement of Rahu and Ketu is quite slow, their shift into different Nakshatras has a long-term and profound impact on the lives of all twelve zodiac signs. Currently, Rahu is in the Dhanishta Nakshatra, belonging to Mars, while Ketu is passing through its own Nakshatra, Magha.

According to astrological calculations, this movement of Rahu and Ketu will be favorable for several signs over the next 76 days. Astrologer Narendra Upadhyay asserts that due to the movement of these two shadow planets, the bank balance of six signs will increase, leading to significant financial gains for them.

Influence of Ketu in Magha Nakshatra: Benefits for Four Signs

Ketu will remain in its Nakshatra Magha until December 5, 2026. This transit of Ketu into the Magha Nakshatra creates favorable conditions for progress and material well-being in the lives of the following four signs:

For Aries, an improvement in decision-making skills and courage is expected, along with the possibility of receiving higher investment income than anticipated.

Leo will experience a substantial rise in social status and respect; prolonged plans will begin to materialize, opening new career opportunities.

The financial situation of Scorpio will become significantly stronger. Major business deals and sudden influxes of hidden funds are possible.

For Aquarius, partnership projects will yield excellent profits, and family life problems will decrease, bringing new sources of income.

Influence of Rahu in Dhanishta Nakshatra: Success for Three Signs

Rahu entered the Dhanishta Nakshatra, belonging to Mars, on August 2, 2026, and will remain there until 2027. This transit of Rahu into the Dhanishta Nakshatra will bring special advantages to three signs:

Aries will receive double benefits under the influence of both planets. Employees can expect promotions and salary increases.

Virgo will succeed in resolving legal disputes or old disagreements. They will maintain an advantage over competitors in business, and profits will increase.

For Sagittarius, financial inflows from foreign sources or overseas travel are likely. Spiritual interests will intensify, and societal influence will strengthen.

Ways to Protect Against Negative Influence of Rahu-Ketu

To appease Rahu, it is recommended to perform worship of Goddess Durga, and to gain positive results from Ketu, one should offer Durva grass to Lord Ganesha.

It is also advised to donate food, water, clothing, or money to needy and underprivileged people according to one's means. It is important to avoid consuming Tamasic food, as well as habits like alcohol and smoking. One must not humiliate poor or vulnerable people, and must also control one's own egoism and excessive anger.

According to astrological forecasts, a significant change in Saturn's movement is expected in 2027, as the planet will complete two sign changes within one year. First, Saturn will leave Pisces and move into Aries, and several months later, due to retrograde motion, it will return to Pisces.

This double transit of Saturn, according to astrological views, will affect the periods of Sade Sati and Dhaiya. Special attention to these changes is paid to those born under the signs of Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Saturn will begin its movement from Pisces to Aries on June 3, 2027. After this, on August 9, 2027, the planet will enter retrograde motion. In its retrograde state, Saturn will return to Pisces in about four and a half months, specifically on October 20, 2027. This means that Saturn will not remain in Aries for long, but will be back in Pisces by the end of the year. Thus, Saturn's influence in 2027 will not be a single direct shift, but will alternate between the June change and the October return.

With Saturn's entry into Aries, according to astrological calculations, the first phase of Sade Sati will begin for people born under the sign of Taurus. During this period, caution is recommended in financial matters, as expenses may increase. Budgeting will be useful. If a job change or major investments are planned, hasty decisions should be avoided, and new conditions and risks should be thoroughly studied.

For Capricorn natives, the Sade Sati situation will change after Saturn enters Aries, which is viewed as temporary relief. However, when Saturn returns to Pisces in October, the situation will change again, so the relief gained from June to October cannot be considered permanent. During this time, it is useful to complete old unfinished tasks and remain vigilant in financial matters.

Pisces natives will also feel the impact of this transit. Although Saturn's transition to Aries will temporarily alter the situation, its return to Pisces in October may revive old issues. There may be a need to resume stalled projects at work, as well as an increase in family responsibilities. Therefore, it is better to focus on completing unfinished tasks rather than postponing them.

Aries natives should remain patient. For them, Saturn's entry into their own sign is an important moment. Astrologers believe that discipline and perseverance are necessary during this period. Work responsibilities may increase, and completing tasks may take longer. It is also advised to avoid major business risks without proper preparation. Instead of arguing with superiors in the office, it is better to express one's point of view calmly.

In astrology, Saturn is considered a slow-moving planet, and it remains in one sign for a long time. This is why its sign changes are considered processes with a long-term impact. The special significance of 2027 lies in Saturn undergoing a double sign change: leaving Aries on June 3 and returning to Pisces on October 20. This reverse change is related to its retrograde motion, so the period from June to October is viewed differently.

According to astrological beliefs, Sade Sati occurs when Saturn passes through the eleventh, first, and second houses from the person's birth sign (Moon sign). The total duration of this period is estimated to be about seven and a half years. Saturn's transition into Aries in 2027 will lead to a change in the Sade Sati situation. Currently, according to astrological calculations, Capricorn, Pisces, and Aries are going through different phases of Sade Sati, and with Saturn's transition into Aries, Taurus will also enter this cycle. Nevertheless, Saturn's return to Pisces in October will once again change the situation related to Sade Sati.

In astrological views, patience, self-discipline, and responsibility are extremely important regarding Saturn's transit. During this period, one should refrain from impulsive investments. Before taking out a loan, one must assess their ability to repay. Documents related to work or business should be studied carefully. It is also recommended to avoid exaggerating minor disagreements in relationships. Instead of postponing unfinished tasks for too long, one should try to finish them.

According to religious traditions, in accordance with astrological beliefs, rituals such as honoring Saturn, helping the needy, and worshipping Ganesha are conducted on Saturnian days. However, these practices should be viewed strictly as part of religious heritage.

According to Vedic astrology, an extremely rare and auspicious celestial event is approaching. Devaguru Brahmapada (Jupiter) and the Moon, which is the planet of intellect, will form a special 'Navamsha Yoga'. Furthermore, today the Moon will pass through the sign of Scorpio, ruled by Mars, and establish a trine aspect (a connection between the fifth and ninth houses) with Devaguru Brahmapada, located in its exalted sign—Cancer. In astrological doctrine, this connection between Jupiter and the Moon creates a powerful beneficial effect comparable to 'Gajakesari'.

The blessing of Devaguru Brahmapada combined with the gentleness of the Moon will bring progress, financial gain, and open new life opportunities, primarily for four zodiac signs. Below are the signs that will experience the greatest benefit from this conjunction.

Cancer (Kark Rashi)

For Cancer, Devaguru Brahmapada is in its own sign (the first house) in a high position, and the Moon from Scorpio forms a Navamsha Yoga with the fifth house (knowledge, children, and joy from children). This aspect will lead to a significant improvement in intellectual abilities and decision-making skills. Students will achieve desired success in higher education and entrance exams. Any issues related to children will be resolved, and strong prospects for sudden income generation will arise.

Scorpio (Vrishchik Rashi)

The Moon will pass through its own sign (the house of personality) and create a favorable Navamsha Yoga with Jupiter, located in the ninth house (luck). This means that blocked fortune will suddenly rise. Long-term matters will be completed without obstacles. Prestige and respect will increase in the professional sphere. There will also be an interest in religious journeys or spiritual activities, which will bring peace of mind.

Capricorn (Makar Rashi)

The Moon will be in the eleventh house (income and profit) and form a Navamsha connection with Jupiter, located in the seventh house (partnership and marriage). This will ensure unexpected growth in income and open new sources of earnings. Sweetness will increase in marital relationships, and thanks to the spouse's support, a major deal will be concluded. If a person is engaged in business partnerships, they may receive a large deal that will bring future profit.

Pisces (Meen Rashi)

Devaguru Brahmapada is the lord of the sign Pisces and is situated there in a high position. At the same time, the Moon passes through the ninth house. This guarantees complete and abundant support from destiny. There are signs of career advancement or salary increase. Entrepreneurs may receive significant financial benefits from foreign or large clients. Old anxieties and stresses will disappear.

Ways to multiply the beneficial effect

To enhance the positive influence, it is recommended to perform the following actions: offer a little raw milk with turmeric in water to the deity Shiva; chant the mantra of Devaguru Brahmapada 108 times; and donate lentils or yellow sweets at a temple or to someone in need.
