Saturn transit
Shani Gochar — where Saturn is now, and every ingress date
Saturn is in Pisces. The next change is Saturn entering Aries on 3 June 2027.
Saturn takes about two and a half years to cross one sign, so its gochar is the slowest thing in the chart and the one most often planned around. Every date below is Saturn's real ingress, computed from the ephemeris.
- Every date is a computed ingress, not a copied table
- The exact instant is shown alongside the date, so you can check it
- Dates are shown in Indian Standard Time

The first and last rows are clipped by the window this page renders, not by an ingress — Saturn was in the first sign before the table starts and stays in the last one after it ends.
How these dates are produced
Sidereal (Lahiri) longitudes from Swiss Ephemeris, stepped a day at a time, with every sign crossing narrowed to the minute. That means a boundary here is the real ingress rather than an artifact of where the walk happened to start.
Saturn's sign boundaries here are the same ones the Sade Sati calculation uses — one source, so the two pages cannot disagree.
An ingress is one instant everywhere on Earth; the calendar date it lands on is not. A crossing at 00:40 IST is the previous day in London. Every date on this page is IST, and the instant is printed next to it so a reader in another zone can convert rather than guess.
For what the tradition reads into a transit, see the gochar guide. For where a transit falls in your chart, which is what decides anything, start with a free Kundli. Check Sade Sati by moon sign.
Transit guidance here is a traditional framework for reflection and planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Nothing on this page predicts an event, and no timing is a reason to delay medical care.
Common questions
Which sign is Shani (Saturn) in right now?
Saturn is in Pisces. The next change is Saturn entering Aries on 3 June 2027.
Are these dates the same in every panchang?
The ingress instant is astronomy and is not in dispute. The date it falls on can differ by one day between sources, because an ingress near midnight lands on different calendar days in different timezones. Every date on this page is in Indian Standard Time, and the exact instant is shown so you can check it yourself.
Why does the same sign appear twice?
Because the planet re-entered it. Outer planets turn retrograde each year and can cross back over a sign boundary they have already passed. Each crossing is a real ingress, so each gets its own row.
What does a transit actually mean?
It means the planet has moved into a new sign of the zodiac. What the tradition reads into that depends entirely on where the sign falls in your own chart, which is why no transit has one meaning for everybody.
