Saturn Transit 2027
What Saturn does through 2027: 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uttara Bhadrapada | Saturn | 9 Oct 2026 | 8 Feb 2027 | 4 mo | Re-entry |
| Revati | Mercury | 8 Feb 2027 | 3 Jun 2027 | 3.8 mo | Re-entry |
| Ashwini | Ketu | 3 Jun 2027 | 20 Oct 2027 | 4.6 mo | |
| Revati | Mercury | 20 Oct 2027 | 23 Feb 2028 | 4.2 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.
