Saturn Transit 2025
What Saturn does through 2025: when it changes sign and nakshatra, when it turns retrograde, and when the Sun burns it. Every date is the real one — a stretch that began before January says so.

Station dates are given in IST. A station is an instant, so sources in another timezone can show it a day either side.
Saturn through the nakshatras
The sign is the long chapter. The nakshatra is the shorter passage inside it, and it carries its own ruling planet — which is what changes the flavour of the transit.
| Nakshatra | Ruled by | From | To | Duration | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purva Bhadrapada | Jupiter | 27 Dec 2024 | 28 Apr 2025 | 4 mo | Re-entry |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | Saturn | 28 Apr 2025 | 3 Oct 2025 | 5.2 mo | |
| Purva Bhadrapada | Jupiter | 3 Oct 2025 | 20 Jan 2026 | 3.6 mo | Re-entry |
A planet re-crosses a nakshatra boundary when it turns retrograde, so the same nakshatra can appear more than once. Those rows are marked as a re-entry.
