Astrological Meaning of Shani Vakri: In astrology, Shani Dev is considered the god of justice and action. It is believed that Shanidev gives results to a person according to his deeds. When Saturn’s movement changes, its effect is seen in some form or the other on all the 12 zodiac signs. According to Drik Panchang, Shani Dev has again become retrograde in Pisces after 30 years from 27th July 2026. This retrograde movement of Saturn will last for about 138 days and on December 11, 2026, Saturn will become direct again. During this period, there are signs of increasing unrest in matters related to politics, justice system, labor class, agriculture, land and weather. Let us understand what is the retrograde movement of Saturn and what are its effects on things.

What is Saturn’s retrograde motion?

In astrology, retrograde motion of a planet does not mean that the planet is moving backwards. It is a virtual position visible only when viewed from Earth. When the Earth and another planet rotate at different speeds in their orbits, there comes a time when that planet appears to be moving backward for some time when viewed from the Earth. This situation is called retrograde movement of the planet in astrology.

There may be a stir in politics

According to astrology, during the retrograde movement of Saturn, there can be a stir in the politics of the country. Deadlock in Parliament, opposition movements, conflict between the government and the opposition or issues related to the working class may come up for discussion. Because in astrology, Saturn is considered the main factor of justice, discipline and power.

Agriculture, land and weather may also be affected

In astrology, Saturn is also considered to be related to agriculture, land and resources coming from the earth. In such a situation, during the retrograde movement of Saturn, people may also keep an eye on matters related to agriculture and land.

Saturn was retrograde in Pisces in 1996 also

According to the Panchang, between July 19, 1996 and December 4, 1996, Shanidev was retrograde in Pisces, which was a period of only 138 days.

After all, why does Saturn remain retrograde for about four and a half months?

Saturn is a planet located far away from the Sun and its speed of revolution around the Sun is much slower than that of the Earth. This is the reason that when Saturn comes in retrograde state, this situation does not end in a few days, but continues for several months. According to astrological calculations, Saturn usually goes retrograde once a year and its retrograde state can last for about four and a half months. Its duration may change with a difference of a few days in different years. Even in the year 2026, Saturn is going to remain in retrograde state for about 138 days.

Why is Saturn’s retrograde movement considered special in astrology?

In astrology, Saturn is seen to be associated with karma, justice, discipline, hard work, delays and responsibilities. It is believed that during the retrograde movement of Saturn, a person may get a chance to reconsider his old decisions and incomplete work. It is believed that during this time, some such matters may come to the fore in life which the person had left behind. Old disputes, stalled work or decisions that have been postponed for a long time may come to mind again.

What measures can be taken during Saturn retrograde?

• According to astrological beliefs, worshiping Shani Dev on Saturday during Saturn’s retrograde movement is considered auspicious. On this day, the mantra ‘Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah’ can be chanted 108 times.
• There is also a belief in offering water to Peepal and Shami trees and lighting a mustard oil lamp. Apart from this, the tradition of donating shadow and donating oil after seeing one’s reflection in mustard oil is also mentioned.
