What Happens When Shani Transits Your Sign?
Shani Transits: Saturn (Shani), in Vedic Astrology, is referred to as the planet of discipline, karma, justice, and patience. Unlike other fast-moving planets like the Moon or Mercury, Saturn moves very slowly taking approximately 2.5 years to enter one zodiac sign. Due to Saturn’s slow movement the impact will be significant and lasting. Each time Saturn enters your sign, significant lessons, growth, and changes will come into your life.
General Effects of Saturn Transit
As Saturn moves into your sign, you will see some changes in different aspects of your life:
- Career & Work: Saturn often will test your patience at work. You will need to work hard and have constant effort, but may not earn recognition or success until you put in the time. You can expect a steady promotion or stability in your work, but this will all take time.
- Relationships: You might find you will need to be more mature with relationships. If your partnership is weak, both people will feel the effects of Saturn testing the relationship, but if it is genuine and strong you will develop a deeper understanding of one another.
- Health: Saturn’s transiting your sign will remind you to take care of your body. You will be challenged by the discipline of diet, exercise and rest, as these behaviors will become a shaper of your actions.
- Finance: You may feel like your financial growth will be slow now, but planning and saving wisely for the future will be long sustained growth.
- Spiritual Growth: Saturn is also a teacher. Saturn will encourage you to practice patience, humility, detachment, as it is an effort to connect you with your innermost self.
The Importance of Sade Sati and Dhaiya
Sade Sati: This is when Saturn is transiting over your Moon sign and the two signs immediately adjacent to the Moon sign, for a period of 7.5 years. Sade Sati is about struggles, hardship, and “karmic” lessons, but also the opportunity to develop inner strength.
Dhaiya: This falls on Saturn transiting your Moon sign and also the 4th or 8th house of your Moon sign, lasting approximately 2.5 years. Dhaiya will indicate struggles, but also lessons about discipline and responsibility.
The Good Side of Shani Transit
Saturn is feared by many, yet it has a good side too. If you come from a place of sincerity, discipline, and effort, Saturn will reward you with stability in your work life, respect in your community or social order, some financial security, and spiritual growth.
