2026

Saturn's nakshatra transit unfolds over several months per nakshatra due to its slow pace. When Saturn enters a new nakshatra, the quality of karmic lessons subtly shifts. Saturn in Pushya brings structured growth and community responsibility, while Saturn in Uttara Bhadrapada deepens spiritual discipline. Since Saturn remains in one nakshatra for roughly 3-5 months, each nakshatra period creates a distinct chapter in the longer 2.5-year sign transit — making nakshatra tracking invaluable for timing business cycles and legal matters.
