SANI PEYARCHI EFFECTS– March 29, 2025 to February 23, 2028
Saturn – the planet of karma and life lessons shifts into Meena Rashi (Pisces) on March 29, 2025 and will transit this rashi between March 29, 2025 and June 3, 2027, and again between October 20, 2027 and Feb 23, 2028.
Between June 3, 2027 and October 20, 2027, Saturn will shift into Mesha rashi in atichaara (accelerated motion), and shift back into Meena rashi and activate it between October 20, 2027, and Feb 23, 2028.
Impact of the Saturn transit for various signs below. Please note that these transit influences can be moderated to some extent by the placement of planets in your natal chart, the ashtaka varga considerations unique to each chart, dasa-bhukti cycles, etc – these should be judged on an individual basis by an expert astrologer whose advice you regularly seek for guidance. The indications given below will still be valid to a great extent and given for remedial guidance (since Moon influences the mind, these transit influences from Moon sign will show the impact of the transit on your psyche and what you can or should do to make the best out of the influences). Hope our readers will make a judicial and intelligent use of this write-up and get benefited.
Mesha rashi – (MOON SIGN – Aries) – Vedic stars of Ashwini, Bharani, and Krittika – 1st quarter
Saturn – which was transiting the auspicious 11th house from your Moon sign, shifts into your 12th house– heralding the beginning of sade-sathi influence for you. There could be increase in expenses, disturbance to sleep pattern in some way, and subconscious anxiety due to this influence. Hospitalization of self or close relatives is a possibility for many of you. So don’t be lax in health matters in any way. Single natives of this sign must avoid unnecessary mental hang-ups or over-expectations from potential partners as this could unnecessarily delay settling in domestic life. On the positive side, if you have been planning for a trip abroad and have not been able to do so, this period would give you such opportunities. Avoid spending money on unnecessary channels as that could eat into the contingency funds you maintain for emergencies, and then you would be left defenceless when tackling sensitive financial situations. Those involved in service professions will do better than others.
Since Saturn attains Lokha Moorthy lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this transit, the effects could be somewhat particularly challenging for Mesha rashi natives this time.
The things to guard against during this transit are –
a) over-spending (especially ego-spending or emotional-spending – where you spend to feel good – but without any actual practical purpose being served)….instead divert your spending along altruistic channels as an alibi.
b) Unhealthy sleep patterns. To prevent this, try to pace your work activities intelligently so that you don’t end up staying late handling sensitive subjects that will keep your brain triggered and won’t let you rest in peace. Try to finishing tackling of crucial issues at least 2 hours prior to the time you intend to go to sleep, and avoid taking issues with you to the bed!
c) Behind-the-screen or unethical moves – these could backfire big way! Also, since the 11th lord Saturn is moving into your 12th house in a tough transit, you must be wary of the company you keep, or there is risk of spoiling your reputation. Businessmen of this rashi must avoid taking unnecessary risks and learn to consolidate gains obtained in business activities. Otherwise, there is the risk of doing well initially, and then pouring all one's gains in risky activities and losing everything. So, learn when to stop if life has given you a string of successes.
d) Procrastination .....delaying important things being preoccupied with mundane/ everyday grinds! Timely advice/ help from others should be sought without waiting for the “right time to come.”
e) Avoid over-expectations in job and domestic front – we all think we deserve more than we get, BUT, we don’t know! So, take opportunities as they come instead of letting them slip by in the hope that something better will turn up if we wait! As long as what you are offered is in the ball-park of what one can expect per one’s caliber/ professional situation (considering the macro factors and trends also into account), we must go with what life offers us – and should wait only if there is a huge and irrational mismatch between what is offered and what is deserved.
Remedies: If there are health issues that trouble you, or a close relative without being resolved by conventional medical treatments, recite Dhanvantari japam 32 times daily, and offer ghee, rose-water, and sesame oil for abhishekam to any temple praying for relief.
Meditate on Lord Krishna in Reclining Pose and recite “Ksheeraabhdhi saayii Bhagawaan Yoganidra Paraaya namah” within the mind 12 times before going to sleep to ensure peaceful sleep.
Offer sandalwood paste to tail of Lord Hanumaan (in a picture at home in your pooja place, or in a temple where they may permit touching of idols) praying “Apaara Karunaa MoorthayE, Mahaa Veeraaya, Raama Dhootaaya sarva graha dOshaani nivaaraya” 108 times on Saturdays.
Rishabha rashi (Taurus – Moon sign) Vedic stars of Krittika (2, 3, 4), Rohini, Mrigasira (1, 2)
Saturn shifts into the 11th house from your Moon sign. This is a very positive transit influence suggesting better progress, comforts, and recognition in life. Friends/ relatives who have been out of touch for a while may come back with increased affection and bonding towards you. You will manage to identify new ways of boosting your financial situation, and if you are engaged in business activities, you will enjoy better visibility and enjoy greater profits. Dreams that you have been nurturing for a long time in the past will come closer to realization. Ailments that might have been troubling you for a long time in the past will get healed. Romance-related luck will be great for single natives of this sign. For those in established relationships, there will be chance to rekindle the joys of love, and to develop harmonious dynamic with loved ones. Those involved in yogic/ spiritual practices will have better chance of attaining perfection and siddhis if they persist hard enough along those lines.
Saturn attains Swarna Moorthy lakshana (Golden Elemental status) during this transit making this even more auspicious for you.
Remedies: No intense remedies needed for your sign since the transit impact is positive. However, you can enjoy the benefits of this positive transit even better if you indulge in service or charitable activities of your choice. There will be chance to mix service with pleasure (like deriving joy by visiting spiritually potent places, serving genuine spiritual persons and enjoying the Nectar of spiritual suggestions from them, and enjoying the company of high-minded persons whom you may meet while involving yourself in volunteering activities for welfare of society).
Mithuna rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Gemini) Vedic stars – Mrigasira (3, 4), Arudra, Punarvasu (1, 2, 3)
Saturn shifts into the 10th house from your natal Moon sign on March 29, 2025. This is a somewhat sensitive transit – where more than normal hard efforts will be needed to maintain good tempo of progress at work. Some of you may even be faced with stalemates at work – due to difficult attitude of superiors or associates. Handle such situations patiently; if someone is purposely irritating you, the best way to handle them is to act as if you are not irritated and going about doing your allocated duties with a smile! This can be a spiritually beneficial exercise for you too – converting a potentially difficult situation into a penance; Universe does not leave penances unanswered. Good results will come later to you if you keep doing your duties patiently and without losing temper. Health of elderly relatives (especially father or father's side relatives) may cause concern to many of you. Expenses may mount uncontrollably – so prioritize your resources intelligently. Those in family life must pace their activities wisely so that time can be allotted for spending quality moments with loved ones. Work hard for your progress and for family’s welfare, but do not ignore the emotional needs of close family members in the process! Success will be lonely and emotionally unfulfilling if you don’t have your loved ones around you to share your joy. So, treat family commitments as something as important as your social and professional commitments. On the positive side, those looking for emigration to lucrative places abroad, or have been working hard without good results and expect to consolidate themselves in their current position will find planetary energies supporting them in the venture.
Since Saturn has attained Thaamara Moorthy status (Copper Elemental status), there is potential for watering down the challenging impact of the transit and turning the obstacles on your way into opportunities if you work patiently and methodically. If you lose patience or lose faith in yourself or those who try to help you with good intentions, you may find yourself in deep waters! The few jerks you may suffer now and then cannot be avoided....but treat it as the karmic cost paid for holistic progress in life and keep moving forward with positivity to get the best outcomes under this transit influence.
Remedies:
If elders (especially parents) fall sick and pass through a difficult time from a health-point of view, consider donating iron/ stainless steel utensils to charitable institutions praying for their welfare.
Offering sesame oil to temples, or hair oil to orphanages, old-age homes, etc. can be spiritually beneficial to you.
Challenges at work can be reduced by offering a small portion of your earnings to charities catering to physically challenged or aged persons.
Whenever life offers you a chance, try to take Theertha snaanams (taking bath in rivers/ ponds of spiritual significance) to water down the karmic impact of this Saturn transit. Those who are suffering from chronic ailments and not getting relief even with consistent medical interventions may try performing Udhaka Shaanthi with the help of vedic priests, and have the water of the kalasham poured over them for karmic relief.
Recite the mantra “DattaatrEyam Mahaa Yogim mama chitham sthirii kuru” (meaning “Lord DattaatrEya – the Great Yogi – please help me in having a stable and firm mindset) 12 times daily and 108 times on Saturdays after lighting a prayer lamp at home; this will help you to approach any challenge with the right attitude and determination which can help in successful negotiation of matters.
Kataka rashi (Vedic Moon sign in Cancer) Vedic stars – Punarvasu (4), Pushya, Aslesha
Saturn’s tough ashtama-sani period ends by this transit of Saturn in to Meena rashi on March 29, 2025. While this – by itself – can be a great relief, the transit of Saturn through 9th house cannot be said to be a great transit influence either. There could still be tension/ uncertainty at work that could trouble you. You may encounter minor obstacles/ delays when trying for foreign assignments or while trying to get visa clearance/ work-permits abroad. Health of spouse or elderly relatives on spouse's side could cause concern for many of you. You must remember that patience and maturity are needed in your domestic interactions and interaction with neighbours/ associates to avoid unnecessary controversies. Some natives of this sign may face hard-to-please superiors or become victims of abuse of official power on the part of some enforcement authorities. Ensure that your slate is clean and no one can put you in a tight spot in any way. Don’t get tempted by the example of those who seem to breach minor rules and get away with it – since your Saturn transit influence sets you up for being the one who gets caught for transgressions. Those pursuing higher studies/ research work must avoid losing focus even shortly during their course-work. Don’t grudge the long hours you need to spend or the repeated work that your mentors make you go through while finalizing the thesis....it will all be a karmic investment and come as good luck later on. For the present, grind your teeth and bear the tedium without losing patience in any way.
Saturn attains Rajatha Moorthy status (Silver Elemental status) during this transit which is auspicious and will help you to manage the challenges of this transit reasonably well if you make the right moves and avoid mis-steps in life.
Remedy:
Meditating on Lord Hanuman taking a leap over the ocean and praying that such ability to overcome obstacles should come your way will be beneficial to you.
Offering perfumery (be it perfumes like attar, sandalwood oil, etc., or pure lobhan) to temples of Lord Hanumaaan or Lord Venkateshwara on Saturdays, OR, offering punugu paste to Lord Bhairava on Ashtami thithis will help in maintaining good relationship with superiors, mentors, supervisors, or authority figures (this remedy can be used if you are involved in legal issues or have to face any sort of enquiry in the course of your work).
Youngsters of this sign can benefit by prostrating before elders in the family regularly and by trying to be of service to aged persons / challenged persons (like massaging feet of elders, helping them with their errands, gifting lift in car/ bike to old persons or physically challenged persons you find on the road, etc.).
Arranging for distribution of buttermilk or clean drinking water to general public or devotees in temples during summer months can be a good remedy for those of you who experience chronic health issues to relatives at home.
Simha rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Leo) – Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni (1)
Saturn shifts to the 8th house from your Moon sign on March 29, 2025, heralding the notoriously tough “ashtama sani” period till February 2028(except for a brief period between 3rd June 2027 and October 20, 2027 when Saturn will shift into the 9th house from your natal Moon sign).
You need to keep a check on your words, your spending habits, and on your family interaction dynamics. Any carelessness or rudeness on your part could sour relationship with others. There is the risk that others may misunderstand your motives baselessly too…so, exercise extra-care in the tone of your speech with others – even if you mean well, inappropriate/ harsh tones may give the wrong impression that you are trying to undermine others and may invoke their enmity. Do not brush off any warning signs of ill-health under the carpet as there is the risk of letting the ailments develop into chronic ones if you are careless in health management during this period. Do not hesitate to undergo aggressive medical interventions if situations require so.
Some of you may encounter unforeseen jerks in the rhythm of things –like being forcefully displaced at work, or encountering unforeseen challenges. Patience and systematic approach will help reduce the negative outcomes to a great extent.
Steer clear off controversial persons and practices (including trusting heterodox charlatans who masquerade as Gurus and suggest unethical or dubious approaches). At the same time, avoid unnecessary suspicion on genuine persons who may be acting with your best interests in mind. Ancestral property issues may leave a bad taste in relationships if you don’t handle disagreements in that regard diplomatically. Be most careful in your relationship dynamics with in-laws (these include spouses of one’s siblings) avoiding letting them walk all over you, and at the same time, giving them space for their own views/ preferences too.
As Saturn attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron Elemental status) during this transit, the challenging impact could be quite sharp.
Within limitations imposed by tough Ashtama Sani influences, the period between middle of May 2025 and May 2026 can be relatively better for you, and this is the time you must use wisely to resolve issues in your life and to augment your defenses against tough planetary impact that operates till Feb 2028 (with exception of the period between June 2027 and October 2027 as already indicated).
Remedy: Volunteering to distribute water or butter-milk to devotees in temples or in water-stations on roads during summer months can be karmically beneficial to you.
Offer perfumery and herbs to temples or those performing major Fire Austerities. This will help in pre-empting the efforts of your rivals to give you a bad name (safeguarding reputation and shutting down unsavoury gossips against you).
If there are ailments afflicting self or paternal relatives, offer vennai-kaappu (anointing butter) and Tulasi garland to Lord Hanumaan on Saturdays praying for relief.
Pray to Lord Bhairava, Kaali, Hanumaan, or Lord Garuda (whoever is your Favourite Deity) before taking out vehicles for a drive, and be a defensive driver so that you can avoid accidents that sometimes happen due to the error of the other driver on the road.
Avoid raising major loans with blind optimism; be ultra-conservative in your approach to financial matters.
Repressed desires/ pains may rise up now; handle those responsibly knowing very well that what we do/ say will unfailingly have an impact on our lives, and our choices will shape our Destiny.
Kanya rashi – (Vedic Moon sign - Virgo) – Vedic stars Uttaraphalguni (2, 3, 4), Hasta, Chitra (1, 2)
Planet Saturn transits the 7th house from your natal Moon sign from March 29, 2025. It is a tougher transit compared to the influence you enjoyed when Saturn activated the 6th house from your rashi so far. Interaction with spouse should be diplomatic, and if there are legal issues that you face, those must be handled with alacrity. Many of you could endure some sort of relocation influence or reorientation requirements due to force of circumstances.
Be patient while handling life-issues, and avoid explosive/ egoistic arguments with spouse or relatives from spouse’s family during this Saturn transit period. Health of spouse should also be carefully monitored to nip any potential problem in the bud. Try to handle irritable situations with a calm mind, and you will do okay.
Be very careful while forging new partnerships, and vet your partner’s background carefully before taking them on board your business operations. This is even more relevant for those involved in international dealings and have partnership with people of other nationalities/ cultures. Don’t be suspicious but have a healthy work-protocol of cross-checking the version of partners or associates diplomatically so that you can remain in control of the business and can take timely course-correction if that becomes necessary.
Keep emotions at bay while taking important business and life decisions over the next few years.
Since Saturn has attained Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper Elemental Status) during this transit, the challenging influences indicated can be considerably watered down IF you approach life situations with patience and avoid unnecessary emotionality (this includes avoiding behaviour that may incite others around you into emotional reactions - like permissive jokes at others' expense or carelessly trampling on sentiments of others).
On a positive note, since Saturn is the ruler of the 5th house from your Moon sign and placed in 7th sign during this transit, natives of this rashi who are under favourable directional influences can find unexpected positive developments in relationship matters – be it resolution of long-standing issues in domestic life, or finding a suitable partner in case of single natives, or potential for marriage settling for children in the family.
Remedies: Try to organize a recital of Vishnu Apaamaarjana sthothram or Naaraayaneeyam if there are any health issues to close family members due to the influence of the transit.
Offer theertha paatra (vessels for abhishekam of Deities), or repair water pipes in temples (arranging for water sources to water temple gardens can be particularly auspicious to you)to temples with the mental affirmation “I am offering this service to the Divine; just like water flows on the Deity or on the Holy Plants in the temple garden, let there by auspicious movement of life events for me and my close relatives by Divine Grace."
If there are any vexatious issues with partners/ spouses, discussing the matters with a calm mind in places near water (like a water-fall, or beach, or sitting on the steps of temple ponds) can help you to come to a workable agreement and restore harmony in the relationship dynamic.
Tula rashi – (vedic Moon sign – Libra) – Vedic stars Chitra (3, 4), Swaathi, Vishakam (1, 2, 3)
Saturn moves into the 6th house from your Moon sign on March 29, 2025. This is considered to be a good transit influence. Things that have been holding you back and not allowing you to enjoy the full extent of success as deserved by you will get resolved positively. You will be able to brush off opposition and obstacles with ease if you keep working on your goals with a positive mindset. This transit influence will give you opportunity to resolve pending issues, legal matters, and health issues in the family positively.
Long-delayed auspicious events in lives of children will manifest as a factor of the positive transit influences on your chart. Family members listening to your good advice will benefit out of your wisdom and good-luck.
This Saturn transit gives you scope to establish more close and equitable dynamic with siblings, for resolving disputes, for amicable settlement of ancestral property matters, and spiritually – for getting initiated into new spiritual routines and benefiting out of such practices. Make the best use of this influence.
The period between May 2025 and May 2026, and the period between October 2027 and Feb 2028 will be specially auspicious periods for your sign. Be diplomatic in your interactions and in handling of domestic issues in the June 2027 to October 2027 period.
Saturn during this transit attains Swarna Moorthy lakshana (Golden elemental status) during this transit, the positive impact of this transit can be quite significant for you. Make a good use of this by sowing the seeds for your life-success by making the right moves and taking right decisions over the next few years.
Remedy: Since Saturn’s transit is generally auspicious for you, there won’t be need for intense remedies for your sign. However, you may try the following remedy for task-fulfillment if you are required to handle sensitive assignments or face any make-or-break situation at work.....
Recite the mantra “Om Kreem Kreem Kreem Kaalikaayai sarva kaarya siddhidhaatryai namah” 32 times before initiating major projects or attending legal cases.
Performing Sumangali Praarthana (Venerating women ancestors of the family) or kanyaa pooja (Honouring an innocent young female child treating her as Goddess Baala Tripurasundari Herself) before major ventures will help in smoother completion of your tasks.
Vrischika rashi – (vedic Moon sign – Scorpio) Vedic stars – Visakha (4), Anuradha , Jyeshta
Saturn shifts into the 5th house from your natal Moon sign on March 29, 2025. Some of you may be shifted to unfavourable locations at work causing disruption in family life (like staying away from spouse in a different location). Those in love may find that things are not as smooth as they may expect them to be when it comes to formalization of the relationship. Hurdles to union with loved ones must be handled with diplomacy and without losing temper as impulsive decisions could complicate matters further. Those having adolescent children in the family must handle them with maturity and patience – acknowledging that the child is turning into an adult gradually and granting the freedom to go with it while at the same time maintaining a healthy vigil over the child’s activities to ensure that the child does not indulge in wasteful or harmful distractions. Those who are invested in share markets must keep a close watch on their portfolio and take remedial steps with alacrity in consultation with competent advisors. Risky speculative activities are a strict no.
Since Saturn attains Rajatha moorthy lakshana (Silver Elemental status), during this transit, the challenging impact can be managed if you make the right moves and curb tendencies towards risk/ pain avoidance (make up your mind to face things head-on and not avoid situations just to avoid possible pain/ risk).
Remedies: Taking part in volunteer work to clean old temples will help in augmenting the good luck factor that will be necessary to handle certain sensitive situations that you may encounter due to this Saturn transit.
Offering punugu (civet) coating to Bhairava on Ashtamis, or Sandawood paste or oil for thirumanjanam for Anjaneya temples/ Balaji temples on Saturdays will ensure family welfare and help in reducing financial uncertainties.
If your family has been holding on to properties that have been given away to charities or have dues to deities/ temples, you must take efforts to set matters right and pay back your dues to avoid bad-luck in the lives of your children under this transit (this includes situations where your ancestors may have wrongfully held on to a property without giving the due share to other kinsmen....you must try to set the balance right by giving such relatives/ kinsmen their rightful dues to avoid bad luck in your life).
Dhanus rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Sagittarius) Vedic stars – Moolam, Poorvaashaada, Uttaraashaada (1)
Saturn moves into the 4th house from your Moon sign on March 29, 2025 - known as Ardha Ashtama sani influence – a somewhat challenging aspect. Some of you may consider relocation from your current place, or maybe shifted to far off places at work. It may be difficult to keep in close touch with your family members to the extent desired. Peace of mind could be hampered due to situations beyond your conscious control. Avoid complicating things by losing your temper or by getting involved in issues which could have been side-stepped. Health of mother or maternal relatives could cause concern for some of you. Students of this sign must work harder to get good results. Stick to the straight-forward path in all matters – even if you see others around you bending rules or taking liberties with regulations since your time is sensitive. Analyze house-related documents carefully, and if you have been lax in securing the documentation pertaining to your residence, do so without further procrastination to avoid unnecessary complications later.
Since Saturn attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status), the challenging impact of this transit can be markedly sharp to many natives of this sig.
Remedies suggested: If you find yourself being implicated in any unnecessary issue (without any justification on the part of others to do so), offer vadamaalai (garland of vadas/ sweets) to Lord Hanumaan idol in a temple and recite Hanumaan Langoola Astram mantra 3 times on a Saturday.
Arrange for vennai kaappu (anointment with butter) to Lord Hanumaan’s Idol and recite the mantra “Vaidya Veera AnjanEyaaya namah” 108 times in the temple praying for good health (if there are health issues in the family).
Recite the mantra “Shreem Raamam Kousalyaa Aananda vardhanam Sitha priya naayakam saranam mama” whenever time permits for peace of mind and family welfare.
Makara rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Capricorn) Vedic Moon stars – Uttaraashaada (2, 3, 4), Sravana, Dhanishta (1, 2)
Saturn shifts into the 3rd house from your Moon sign on March 29, 2025. This gives you relief from the tough sade-sathi influences you have been enduring so long in the past. You will find that the restrictive patterns and hopeless situations that have been tormenting you will gradually recede to the background allowing you to plan with optimism for the future. Relationship with associates at work and siblings at home can improve. For some of you, if your siblings have been an unconscious negative influence, their shifting away from you will help you to focus better on your own lives. Minor obstacles could be experienced by siblings in their lives which you can help with (and this would strengthen the familial bonds and also give you merit that can translate in to good luck in your own life). Your self-confidence would improve and clarity would emerge in situations that were nebulous prior to this period. Those who have endured obstacles to their higher education would find things improving gradually. Journeys would be profitable and if you had been having issues regarding smooth settlement abroad, there is hope of resolution in your favour in the near future.
The transit influences are by and large good for you.. However, since Saturn attains Thaamra Moorthy lakshana (Copper elemental status) during this transit, the good effects of this transit will be felt only at 50% positive intensity and you may need to strategize practically and move things systematically to enjoy the full positivity of this transit influence.
Remedies: The transit influence of Saturn is generally positive for you – and no intense remedy is needed. However, if health of father or paternal relatives causes concern, or you have some minor issues of understanding with father or mentor figures, or experience some challenges or inexplicable delays regarding visa or such other formalities pertaining to foreign stay/ travel, recital of 36th Chapter of Sundara Kaandam (or organizing such recital through priests) would offer relief in that regard.
If there are problems pertaining to promotion at work or improving turn over in business activities, donating oil to orphanages/ old-age homes (either for bathing purposes of the inmates or as hair-oil, OR as cooking oil) can help.
Kumbha rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Aquarius) Vedic stars (Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvabhadra 1, 2, 3)
You continue to be under the grip of Sade-sathi even after this transit. You are entering the last phase of sade-sathi from March 29, 2025. Arguments with close relatives could spoil peace of mind. Do not let any misunderstanding linger on – but rather try to discuss peacefully and reconcile with close people so that the bitterness does not engulf your life unnecessarily. You should be careful about your diet and sedentary habits; don’t ignore these due to other preoccupations because unless your health is secured, you cannot stand up to the challenges that life throws at you, and above all – we work to sustain life and add value to life – and not the other way round!
Be extra-careful regarding financial matters and documentation pertaining to your assets. Do not ignore any notice from government authorities – even if you are not in the wrong in any way. Respond promptly and in a timely manner establishing your position firmly to safeguard your interest and to prevent unnecessary harassment that may happen if you let things take their own drift without positive intervention from your side.
Avoid egoistic approaches when discussing things with others – especially regarding controversial subjects and where people have grievances against you. If you have been wrong, accept it gracefully instead of trying to indulge in diversionary tactics since that will make the other person hold serious grudge against you, and worse, the karmic backlash from the Universe for such an approach will be severe under this transit influence.
Avoid risky financial dealings and trusting anyone on face value. Be conservative in your decisions as far as feasible. Avoid cursing anyone, telling unnecessary lies, or using abusive words, as these can further impact your luck negatively.
Natives of this sign and past their middle-age must tend to health of eye conscientiously (by incorporating healthy habits like washing eyes with cold water, taking suitable "screen-breaks" if your job involves staring at computer screen for long hours, taking vitamin A supplements or increasing intake of vegetables like carrots and greens in diet, using good quality castor oil or coconut oil for massing the region around eyes, etc.).
Saturn during this transit attains Silver Elemental Status (Rajata Moorthy lakshana). So, much of the tough impact of this transit can be watered down by following the Silver Rule of transacting with others – cultivate empathy, treat others as they treat you and as they deserve to be treated, and responding to situations promptly in attitude and kind (pre-empting negative moves of others with your swift counter-moves, and reciprocating with good gestures of equal measure if others extend goodwill towards you). Don't be overly good, as others may walk over you...and don't be unnecessarily harsh on others....this worldly-wise but "tinged with natural justice" approach is what will suit you under this Saturn transit.
Remedies:
If there has been an instance of you or your immediate ancestors having adverse possession of a property (like being a tenant and refusing to pay rent per agreement to the owner, or refusing to vacate the premises though the owner lawfully requires you to do so, or if kinsmen have been cheated off their rightful share of property by your ancestors and you hold possession of the entire holdings in a way that is detrimental to the rights of others), give up such possessions to the rightful owners.
If - knowingly or unknowingly, your family has blocked approach to water-sources for the general public, try to facilitate such approaches.
Regular performance of pradosham worship, or worship of Lord Dharma Shasta (or His Forms like Kutty Aandavar) on Utthiram nakshatra (Uttaraphalguni) days/ Hasta nakshatra days will help you handle the challenges of Sade-sathi positively.
Meditate on Lord Hanumaan and offer dhaanam of honey, ghee, or rose-water to any temple or learned vedic priest before long journeys (if you are travelling abroad for long-term settlement or on major assignments).
Meena rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Pisces) – Poorvabhadra 2, 3, 4, Uttarabhadra, Revati
You are entering the second phase of Sade-sathi from March 29, 2025. Here Saturn in sade-sathi triggers your natal Moon sign. This is known to be a very tricky period causing lot of challenges. Peace of mind could be the primary victim of the planetary influences. Do not treat any health symptom lightly as lax attitude to health can cause deterioration that would take longer to heal. Try to understand the real motives of those around you – as there is the danger that you may misinterpret the motives of those who actually try to help you while you may trust those who are actually exploitative. Try to look at things from a larger perspective instead of having a limited vision. Hard work is needed to get good results during this period. Avoid deputing important tasks to others unless such deputation of assignments is a part of the work protocol (i.e. never avoid responsibilities due to laziness or risk-aversiveness). Stick to laid down procedures and rules, and you will do fine. In family relationships as well as work-place interactions, try to have a karma yogic perspective – of doing duty as per one’s role perfectly and not being attached to the outcomes. Surprisingly, if you develop such an attitude, you will find that results come smoothly! This – in essence – could be your most powerful remedy – that of doing your best and leaving the rest to Divine Providence.
Avoid judging others harshly without proper justification because that would increase the risk of your being misjudged or treated harshly in turn! Sade-sathi is about karmic balance; this is a time when you are paying your karmic balance of the past; if you add to the past bad karma by present-time indiscretions, the troubles would increase manifold. So be patient, calm, and objective in your approach to life.
Within limitations imposed by Sade-sathi, natives in the middle-ages of their lives and those running auspicious dasa-bhuktis can enjoy reasonable progress in the period between May 2026 and June 2027 - especially since Saturn attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden elemental status) during this transit.
Remedies:
Offer seva (physical service in some form) to any place of worship - especially that involves cleaning the premises with water, repairing water pipes, watering plants, spraying cold water in lawns/ temple grounds before important functions to keep the place cool for the visitors, etc.
Serve elders in the family with affection and respect (treating them as if they are God-Incarnate and are the channels through which you can serve God).
If situations in the family seem too tough, and you are unable to take decisions regarding some crucial issue (where every choice seems to have its share of challenges), arrange for decorating any Amman temple (Mother Goddess Shakti in any of Her Forms) with Vetti Ver, or such other fragrant herbs traditionally used in abhishekams and Deity decorations.
Visiting Jeeva Samadhi of Saints regularly can help you to secure their Blessings and indirectly help you to cultivate the fortitude necessary to handle tricky issues in life.
Special austerities planned on Sani-Peyarchi day at my residence:
Special austerities are planned in connection with Saturn transit on March 29, 2025 evening.
We plan to perform Mahaa Mrityunjaya homam, Pasupatha Astra homam, Agorastra homam, Raama Parivaara homam, Venkateshwara Vijaya Homam, AnjanEya Moola mantra homam, and Sani Gayathri and Moola mantra homam.
Those born in Mesha, Rishabha, Mithuna, Simha, Kanni, Vrischika, Dhanus, Kumbha, and Meena are under challenging Saturn transit influences as may be seen above, and can benefit by remedial homams done on that day. Those who wish to take part in these as part-sponsors may please write to my email-id: dakshinastrologer@yahoo.co.in with the subject-line “Sani peyarchi 2025 remedial request”. Will suggest the modalities of participation as reply mail. Regular clients/ disciples who have been participating in various austerities in the past can directly remit Rs. 2060 (rupees Two thousand and sixty only) or equivalent in US Dollars in favour of my icici bank account the details of which you may have with you, and send me the intended the beneficiary’s name, gothra, star and rashi details to my email-id.
Please offer at the rate of one part-sponsorship for EACH person for whom you want the remedial sankalpam to be done (i.e. if you have family members born in the rashis mentioned as requiring remedy, offer one sponsorship for each...@INR 2060 (rupees Two thousand sixty only) for each person whose rashi is afflicted). For the family members born under rashis which are not impacted by the transit, parihaaram is not needed, and so they can be included in the general sankalpam of the homam for no extra-cost....
IMPORTANT: Please note that we won’t be shipping Prasad or Holy Ash through mail and taking sankalpa in your name during the performance will be deemed to be in-absentia participation and the karmic benefits would accrue to you due to vedic procedures involved in the austerity.
Please note that these homams are done in-absentia for everyone (i.e. the homams will be done at our residence, but without letting anyone participate in person, but we will take sankalpa on behalf of the beneficiary and pray for them in-absentia as is the custom with us for all major collective homams of these type...since I do the performance at my residence in the Holy Fire I maintain with daily homam performances, it is not practically possible for me to host lot of people, and allowing only some to participate will be an injustice to others who cannot be accommodated...I don't wish to do it in any other public space since this performance done in the pooja place where daily homam is done is best for everyone due to the positive vibrations maintained in this place with daily homams and austerties.....I crave the understanding of everyone on this).
So, kindly avail the part-sponsorship only if you are agreeable to the above (in-absentia participation).
Best regards,
Blessed be.
