Saturn Transit (Gochar): Now in Pisces

Saturn (Shani) transit is the slow, structural one — about two and a half years per sign — and the most consequential to track. It rewards patience and discipline and exposes what was built on shortcuts. Saturn’s movement relative to your Moon sign defines the seven-and-a-half-year Sade Sati and the Dhaiya periods.
