New Delhi: In Vedic astrology, the movement of Saturn is considered extremely important because it represents discipline, justice, and the results of one’s karma. In 2026, Saturn will become retrograde (Vakri) on 27 July 2026 and will remain retrograde until 11 December 2026. During this period, Saturn will continue its transit in the zodiac sign Pisces.
Astrologers believe that when Saturn turns retrograde, its influence becomes more intense. It is a time when people may experience the results of past actions, delays in work, or the need to rethink decisions. However, for some zodiac signs, this period can also bring progress and opportunities.

🪔 Traditional Remedies
Devotees often worship Shani Dev on Saturdays to reduce negative effects. Offering mustard oil, black sesame seeds, and lighting a lamp near a peepal tree are common practices. Chanting Shani mantras is also believed to bring relief.
Astrologers suggest that Saturn retrograde is not always negative; it can be a time for self-reflection, discipline, and correcting past mistakes. Those who stay patient and focused may ultimately benefit from the lessons this period brings.
