If mercury retrograde has you triple-checking your texts and second-guessing your entire life, brace yourself because in 2025, Shani Sade Sati might just take the cosmic drama to an entirely new level.
While Mercury’s retrograde typically lasts three weeks and causes temporary miscommunication glitches, Shani Sade Sati is a seven-and-a-half-year-long karmic ride.
It is a challenging time in astrology. When Saturn moves into a new zodiac sign, it has a noticeable impact on all signs. It is often associated with major life transformations. This period tests patience, endurance and responsibility. Here are some zodiac signs which will be the worst-impacted.
Aries
In March, Aries entered the first phase of Saturn’s Sade Sati. During this time, Aries individuals might find themselves battling laziness or procrastination. They could also face unexpected financial setbacks and some tension at home, which might create stress in their family life. However, if Saturn holds a favorable position in their birth chart or they are going through a supportive planetary period, this phase could encourage them to take constructive and positive steps forward.
Aquarius
For Aquarius, this will be the final phase of Sade Sati. While this period may bring some challenges, it also comes with rewards. With consistent effort, Aquarians can finally start seeing the results of their hard work. If they’ve felt frustrated in the past because their efforts didn’t seem to pay off, this phase could bring a shift. However, they should be mindful of their spending during this time.
Pisces
Saturn will stay in Pisces until early 2028, and during this time, people with Pisces as their zodiac sign will go through the second phase of Sade Sati. They might face some financial difficulties and health issues, which could impact their job or business stability. However, if Saturn is in a good position in their birth chart, they could still gain some important benefits during this period.
