Saturn in Pisces (2025-2028) – A Karmic Reckoning and Spiritual Restructuring

Saturn in Pisces (2025-2028): A Karmic Reckoning and Spiritual Restructuring

1. Introduction: A Period of Karmic Transformation

The entry of Saturn into Pisces (Meena Rashi) on 29 Mar 2025, marks the beginning of a 2.5-year karmic cycle that will challenge individuals, governments, and global structures. This transition is especially significant as it occurs under multiple cosmic alignments that amplify its karmic and transformative effects:

• A Partial Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the same day  A celestial event that intensifies the karmic lessons of Saturn’s transit.
• The Hindu New Year (Shri Vishvavasu Naam Samvatsar) Begins—a symbolic restart, with Saturn influencing the global energies of the year ahead.
• Rahu in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra forms the Shapit Dosha (cursed combination) with Saturn, making 2025 a year of intense karmic rebalancing, political upheaval, and financial adjustments 

This transit brings deep spiritual lessons, economic shifts, and the end of outdated structures, forcing humanity into a new paradigm.

Vedic Insight:
According to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Saturn in a Jupiter-ruled water sign brings a forced confrontation with karma, compelling individuals and societies to release past burdens and embrace a new direction
