Shani Goes Retrograde: End of Sade Sati in Sight!
According to Drik Panchang, Saturn (Shani Dev) will turn retrograde on 27 July 2026 and remain in this state until 11 December 2026, for a total of 138 days.
While Saturn retrograde is often considered challenging, this particular phase is expected to bring significant relief to those suffering from Sade Sati, especially people born under Aquarius (Kumbh) and Pisces (Meen) rashi.
### Relief for Aquarius (Kumbh Rashi)
Aquarius natives are currently in the final and concluding phase of Sade Sati. Saturn’s retrograde motion will open a window of relief for them.
Mental stress, obstacles at work, and unexplained fears will gradually reduce. Stuck money or financial losses in business are likely to recover. Job professionals will see relief from workplace politics and gain recognition for their efforts.
### Relief for Pisces (Meen Rashi)
Pisces natives are passing through the middle and most difficult phase of Sade Sati. Saturn’s retrograde period is expected to soften its impact.
Long-delayed or stalled work will suddenly pick up pace. Business or media professionals may land big deals or important responsibilities. Old losses can be recovered and chronic health issues may see improvement. Confidence and mental peace will return.
### Auspicious Remedies to Please Shani Dev
To maximise benefits and reduce any remaining negative effects during this period, follow these traditional remedies:
Light a Lamp: Every Saturday evening, light a mustard oil diya with four wicks under a Peepal tree.
Saturday Donation: Donate black sesame seeds, black gram (urad dal), black clothes, or an umbrella to the needy on Saturdays.
Hanuman Chalisa: Recite Hanuman Chalisa regularly, especially on Saturdays and Tuesdays, as Lord Hanuman is dear to Shani Dev.
This retrograde phase of Saturn is being seen as a period of correction and relief for those under the prolonged pressure of Sade Sati. While astrology provides guidance, combining it with hard work and positive actions often yields the best results.
Note: Effects may vary based on your complete birth chart.
