Mumbai: Saturn will begin its retrograde (vakri) motion in Pisces on 13 July 2025, lasting for 138 days until 28 November, when it resumes its direct path. According to Vedic astrology, Saturn’s retrograde can trigger delays, challenges, and karmic tests — especially for those already under Saturn’s intense influence, such as Sade Sati or Dhaya. This period can be particularly unsettling for certain zodiac signs, and astrologers advise caution in areas like health, finances, and emotional stability.
While retrograde Saturn is often associated with deep transformation and karmic re-evaluation, it also brings testing times. Several signs are likely to feel the weight of Saturn’s stern gaze more than others. Here’s a closer look at the zodiac signs most likely to experience setbacks and what they should be careful about during this phase.
Aries (Mesha): Saturn’s Retrograde Could Intensify Sade Sati
Aries natives are currently under Saturn’s Sade Sati, and the retrograde movement may magnify its effects. Health issues may resurface, and energy levels could dip. Financial control is crucial—avoid unnecessary expenses and steer clear of impulsive borrowing. Saturn’s karmic lessons during this phase may feel overwhelming but staying grounded will help.
Gemini (Mithun): Financial Stress and Mental Pressure
Gemini natives may face monetary hurdles and increased stress levels during this retrograde. Unexpected expenses or delays in payments may cause anxiety. Avoid rushing into decisions—whether financial or personal. Patience and steady effort will be your best assets during this challenging period.
Virgo (Kanya): Risk of Loss Through Unwise Investments
Saturn’s retrograde may bring obstacles for Virgo natives, especially around money. Refrain from making impulsive investments or entering disputes. Financial prudence and emotional stability are key. Stay calm and try to resolve conflicts amicably without external interference.
Scorpio (Vrishchik): Mental Fatigue and Slow Progress
Scorpio natives may feel drained and scattered during this retrograde. A lack of focus could impact both personal and professional life. Avoid haste, as mistakes made now could be costly later. Take care of your physical and emotional health and allow yourself more rest when needed.
Sagittarius (Dhanu): Emotional Outbursts and Unexpected Challenges
This retrograde could be a volatile time for Sagittarius natives. Anger management is critical—avoid reacting impulsively, especially in high-stress situations. Emotional tension may remain high, and the number 138 (days of retrograde) might symbolically reflect the number of hurdles you’ll face. Stay alert, calm, and reflective to navigate through.
If you’re one of these signs, take this retrograde as an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and realign. Saturn doesn’t punish—he teaches. And this retrograde could help you rewrite karmic patterns if you stay disciplined.
