Status as of 16 Oct 2026. Dates in IST, Lahiri ayanamsa, Saturn's retrograde returns included — our own calculation (NASA JPL ephemeris).

The three phases

First phase — Saturn in the 12th sign from the Moon (about 2.5 years)
Peak phase — Saturn over the Moon sign itself (about 2.5 years)
Last phase — Saturn in the 2nd sign from the Moon (about 2.5 years)

Why do websites show different dates?

Retrograde Saturn returns to the previous sign for a few months, and news articles usually give only the first date. For Kumbh, Saturn leaves Meena on 3 June 2027, returns on 20 October 2027 and moves on for good on 23 February 2028 — so we show both.

Is Sade Sati always bad?

No. Saturn stands for effort, discipline and responsibility. This phase often asks for patience and steady work, and for many people it is when their career and outlook become solid. We explain it as a phase, not as something to fear.
