Saturn Transit 2031
What Saturn does through 2031: 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.
Saturn year by year
Saturn stays in Taurus all year
Saturn entered Taurus on 17 Apr 2030 and does not leave until 31 May 2032, so 2031 brings no sign change. What does change is its nakshatra, its direction, and whether it is burnt by the Sun.

- 5 Oct 2031 Turns retrograde — Taurus 28.7°
- 16 May 2031 Saturn is combust until 21 Jun 2031 Within 15° of the Sun — the classical natal orb. A burnt graha's results are held back while it lasts.
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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Krittika | Sun | 12 Dec 2030 | 25 Mar 2031 | 3.4 mo | Re-entry |
| Rohini | Moon | 25 Mar 2031 | 15 Jul 2031 | 3.7 mo | Re-entry |
| Mrigashira | Mars | 15 Jul 2031 | 5 Jan 2032 | 5.7 mo |
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.
